What a great resource and wonderful format! Sometimes reference books or books similar to reference books can get overwhelming. The Pediatrician's Guide to Feeding Babies & Toddlers by Dr. Anthony F. Porto & Dr. Dina M. DiMaggio is simple, straightforward with their Q&A format. Ranging with questions like, "How much and how often will my child eat?" (4) to "Will my child outgrow EoE (eosinophilic esophagitis)?" (190)  This book compiles a wide variety of questions relating to your baby/child's health and nutrition, all stemming from eating questions and answers that will broaden your perspective and increase your confidence to feeding your child.  I love the charts with factual information, as well as "how-to" drawings. Charts including stages of development in compilation with feeding age level will give you a grasp on what to expect. This is indeed a guide and a must have for every new parent. And if you're still not sure, there are simple recipes in here too, for each stage, so don't sweat!  I'm adding this to a must gift for every new parent I know for sure.

I'm back.... with Bible Giveaways

Hello. I've hinted on my Instagram (@justcommonly) that I'm in the process of coming back after years away from blogging.  @justcommonly I had the very intention to be posting within a week of the first hint.  Yet life is full of surprises. As I was trying to reinstate my original blog (Just Commonly), I, unfortunately, had multiple technical issues due to the time length the blog was deactivated. Once I had it up and running, several "reports" had Google banned certain old posts, and eventually the blog itself. At this point, I had seriously doubted if it means I should just forget about it. Was my blog that bad and/or offensive that it was reported for malicious content and Google violations?  I submitted a review request, with the response that the blog link was no longer available to be reactivated. After some prayers and deliberation, I have changed the handle from justcommonly.blogspot to alwaysjustcommonly.blogspot.  I have uploaded and republished...

How did you choose your current Bible? Is this your first Bible?  I'll get into how I chose my current Bible, at least my main one. First, I would like to explain why I needed a new one. It all started with my determination to focus on reading the Bible if that's the only reading (and accomplishment) I get done in the day.  Since my migraine became chronic, reading had become unbearable for a variety of reasons associated with the symptoms.  This includes reading the Word, let alone studying it. In truth, there was a huge spiritual warfare going on during the time. That's another focus for another day.  My Bible has been with me for years. I loved everything about it, and to be unable to read it, I was frustrated and lost. Then an epiphany came on a lucid morning. By this time, I had already transition to mostly analog - physical planners, notebooks, minimal screen time on tablet, no TV and back to basic with my smart phone - mainly for calls and text between...
