Amma's Before-Baby To Do List

Updated: Mar 20, 2025

I, Kellie, soon to be known as Amma, hereby declare that before the birth of my first grandchild in November 2024, I will publish all my draft posts still diddling around aimlessly in my files.


Look for probably one-paragraph but no-less-than-one-sentence posts on the following topics or books listed in random order:


Beatrix Potter Book Repair (kb)

The Past is Myself by Christabel Bielenberg

Paradise of the Blind by Duong Thu Huong

All American Boys by Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely

Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Brown

My Friend Jo (kb)

Faces (kb)

We're Gonna Party Like It's 1964 (kb)



ADDENDUM 20 March 2025:

I will not be posting anything for Faces or We're Gonna Party Like It's 1964 (the year I turned 60).

I said I'd be called Amma, but for now I'm Gramma instead.

This is such a thoughtful and practical to-do list for expecting mothers! I can definitely see how these tips would help keep everything organized and stress-free. As an author myself, I believe the creative process is just as important as the everyday tasks, and a great way to unwind is by diving into a good read. If you're looking for a new Book series to explore, feel free to check out my collection on my Book series. And for more information about my journey as an author, visit my Author website. Wishing you all the best on this exciting adventure!

"This is such a helpful checklist for new moms! I love how detailed it is. Also, for small businesses looking to reach more parents, make sure to Get Listed Today in a Local business directory – it really helps boost visibility and credibility."

This is such a thoughtful and helpful before‑baby checklist — perfect for getting everything in order before the little one arrives! Preparing ahead really makes a difference. Just like planning for a new chapter, don’t forget to take care of yourself too. A dedicated scalp treatment can be a great way to support a healthy foundation, and a nourishing Hair Repair Treatment helps restore strength and shine during busy seasons. Thanks for sharing these practical tips!

What a great and relatable list! Preparing for a new baby can feel overwhelming, but having everything planned out like this is such a helpful guide. It’s like how marine insulation companies carefully plan and strategize to ensure systems are well-prepared and built to last, no matter the conditions. Similarly, marine pipe insulation is all about attention to detail and long-term sustainability, ensuring everything functions smoothly. It’s clear that this list, like the work in these industries, is all about setting up a strong foundation for the future. Thanks for sharing this thoughtful and practical advice!

his little to-do list made me smile! I love how you’re sharing your journey toward becoming Amma—it feels personal and genuine, not just another checklist. It’s inspiring to see you commit to finishing those drafts while also celebrating this special chapter of life. I always find posts like this comforting and real, especially when they’re written with heart. PS: Loved how easy it was to read and reflect—almost like using answer ai and best ai humanizer tools to make sense of thoughts before they become words!
