Contributor Bio:  Paine, April We are two mothers of 2 children each who also happen to be sisters (just 17 months apart) and best friends. While we can't change the diapers for you, we can offer support and the best tips we can find from across the globe. Kimberly Crabb is a writer and mom with over 18 years of experience in child development (okay, her kids are 10 and 8). A former teacher, she is a DIY enthusiast, delighting the neighbors with her love of creating with a drill in hand. In her free time, she is learning to cook with her kids via the Food Network. April Paine just returned to Texas after almost 10 years in the United Kingdom where she soaked up the beautiful British culture and drank more than her fair share of tea. April is a teacher, writer, mother and photo enthusiast. Her favorite photo subjects are her children. Their favorite game is hiding when April pulls the camera out. The authors know that parents often want "parenting guides" and "parenting help" but they also know that moms and dads need support and congratulations (for making it this far). When the second baby (or "Baby #2") comes along, it's a challenge but also an opportunity. If you have another baby on the way, we hope you will enjoy our ABCs of Baby #2.
