As someone who doesn't have children, I've been looking for good books for when the time does come on advice and tips. I was excited when this book finally did arrive (took some time to get the copy to me). After reading the book I found myself skimming through as it seemed to be more for stay at home moms and more religious-types. While I have nothing against these two things they are not my situation or my type. I did notice a lot of common sense/practical advice which I'm sure being an outside observer that when raising kids it gets lost in the jumble. It is something that I'd pass to my friends who are stay at home moms with religious affiliations.… (meer)

This is a pretty quick, easy read. Unless, of course, you take the time to implement the tips and strategies given, then it'll take longer to get through. The chapters that apply to me felt very helpful and I'll go back and glean more from them and attempt to put some of the ideas into practice. The ones that didn't apply to me were still easy to read and somewhat interesting.
She does a nice job of trying to connect with the reader in a place where they are and giving support. I do agree, though, with a previous reviewer that the casual tone and stating her negative feelings for many house/mom chores did get tiring, so I skimmed more than with most books because it allowed me to do so.
I plan to share the book with another new mom friend of mine who I think will appreciate it.… (meer)
