Year 3, week 20: From Cradle to Stage

This week's book:
From Cradle to Stage: Stories from the Mothers Who Rocked and Raised Rock Stars
By Virginia Grohl

This week's book was read to our little one and I by my sweet hubby at night while I was nursing her. We have read different books to our babies at night while nursing them to sleep. This week's book was written by the mother of one of my favorite rock stars of all time. Dave Grohl is the lead singer of the Foo Fighters, and former drummer of Nirvana, and I love him.

Grohl's mama interviewed many moms who had famous musical children, from many different genres of music. It was very interesting to hear all the different mothers explaining their path to becoming the mothers to all of these amazing artists. The thing that is so cool was there wasn't one same path for all of these people. A lot of the future musicians did horrible in school and couldn't focus, but they were brilliant at the same time, which sounds a lot like our little guy. It gave me hope that maybe we are raising a future rock star. But let's be honest, as much as I learned about all of these people that I have listened to for years, I absolutely loved learning so much about Dave Grohl. He sounds even more amazing than I could have imagined. He's a Mama's boy who sounds like a great son, husband, father, and of course flipping rock star!

I would definitely recommend the book if you love music as much as I do. If you are a Foo Fighters or Grohl's go, run and pick it up now.
