Don't Make Me Count to Three: a Mom's Look at Heart-Oriented Discipline 93 reviews
Ginger Plowman
Shepherd Press, 2004
Definitely a Keeper!
This book is great! Some reviews have said that it promotes spanking, but the bottom line is that if you don't spank you are doing your child a disservice and that's exactly what this author is saying in her book. She doesn't say that a parent should be abusive and just spank for no reason or just make up a reason to beat their child. Rather she admonishes parents to teach the child the correct ...

On Becoming Baby Wise: Giving Your Infant the Gift of Nighttime Sleep (On Becoming. . .)208 reviews
Gary Ezzo, Robert Bucknam
Parent-Wise Solutions, Inc., 2006
It worked for me!
Before trying Babywise, I tried demand feeding because it just felt better. However, it just wasn't working! The baby was constantly crying and constantly eating, and I had no idea what to expect next. My sister used Babywise with her three kids, and she highly recommended me giving it a try. The very FIRST day I used the concepts of this book, her crying lessened dramatically. By 11 weeks, ...

Mom's Family Calendar 200922 reviews
Sandra Boynton
Workman Publishing Company, 2008
All time favorite calendar!
this is the best planning calendar I know of. The vertical format is easy to use and visible across a room, which is a major plus at my house. There are enough columns for 6 people and the paper is not ink resistant. That may seem trivial, but most wall calendars are too darn glossy to write on legibly. How can you use a planning calendar if you can't write on the wretched thing with any ...

Mom's Plan-it 2009 Engagement Calendar3 reviews
Avalanche Publishing Company, 2008
AbSoLuTe BEST calendar around!!!
This is the absolute best calendar around. I've been using this calendar for about 7 years now. I love the fact that it starts in August and goes through the following December, allowing me to match it up with the school year but shedding me some grace if I "forget" to get it in August or get too busy to start using it before school starts. There are two pages for each week with a tear off ...

Mom's 2009 Plan-it Plus7 reviews
Avalanche Publishing Company, 2008
The best calendar
This is my favorite calendar ever! This is the second time I've purchased it and I will probably continue to do so as long as they make it. It has the perfect amount of space for my 5 person family and it keeps me organized which I love. It's also very cute. It comes with lots of stickers if that's your thing, but I really don't use them.

The Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy1057 reviews
Vicki Iovine
Pocket, 2007
My Favorite Pregnancy Book!
I bought this book, along with a lot of other pregnancy books, when I found out I was pregnant for the first time. This was BY FAR the best.
This book is not a medical or scientific or a "week by week" book about pregnancy; it is a woman-to-woman guide on what pregnancy is REALLY like - physically, mentally, emotionally. It is a completely honest and candid perspective on what women go through ...

Just Me and My Mom (A Little Critter Book)11 reviews
Random House Books for Young Readers, 2001
My Mom
When I was three or four years old, I saw this book in the window of a book store and asked my mother to buy it for me. Fifteen years later, the book still brings me incredible joy. Beyond the events in the story itself, it represents the connection between a child and his mother; she is analogous to the giving tree in the Shel Silverstein book. She created me, and with that creation, created the ...

Must Read!!
This books gives excellent insight into the difficult task of navigating a two-household family. It not only provides the reader practical tools for easing the transition for their children, but also addresses the necessary relationship between you and your ex-spouse. 'Mom's House, Dad's House' hits the key topics co-parenting in a straightforward but insightful way.

Designated Daughter: The Bonus Years with Mom6 reviews
D.g. Fulford, Phyllis Greene
Voice, 2008
a book that makes you laugh and cry
I read and immediately reread this wonderful book.
The trials and the love and the sharing and letting it all "hang out" make it a must read.
The authors talk about sadness that most of us don't articulate...it must have helped them to write it..reading it made me laugh aloud and cry and learn to understand and handle the changes that come to us all as we age.
It's perfect for all generations.

That's My Son: How Moms Can Influence Boys to Become Men of Character19 reviews
Rick Johnson
Revell, 2005
Wonderful insight! Breathe of fresh air.
Being an only child with a father who was raised with a strong mother and 3 sisters, I was not ready for the differences in raising a son. This is straight forward and real life information. No scientific studies or wordiness. The real deal. Some things I never thought of facing or being an issue. Helped me "love" (v) my son again and lessen the frustration which dominated my mind.

Wise Words For Moms 54 reviews
Ginger Plowman
Shepherd Press, 2001
wise purchase
I'm so glad I bought this chart. I can't think of anything I would add to it. Plowman includes 22 relevant and specific behaviors along with the reproof, encouragement, Scripture, and "heart-probing" questions for each. There is absolutely no basis for the reviews that say this product promotes "child abuse." I can't find anything in it that suggests physical discipline of any kind. I would ...

Sippy Cups Are Not for Chardonnay: And Other Things I Had to Learn as a New Mom116 reviews
Stefanie Wilder-Taylor
Simon Spotlight Entertainment, 2006
Delightful
Stefanie Wilder-Taylor's book "Sippy Cups are Not for Chardonnay" is a refreshing find in the world of baby texts and parenting narrative. Straightforward, modern, and completely human, Wilder-Taylor's take on motherhood is a great find for first-time-moms and veterans alike. You won't agree with everything she has to say, but the beauty of the narrative is that you don't have to - one woman ...

Porn for New Moms: From the Cambridge Women's Pornography Cooperative8 reviews
Cambridge Women's Pornography Cooperative
Chronicle Books, 2008
Somethin' for the hardworking mamas out there!
Being a new mom must be tough. I don't have kids but I have several friends who do and they all go through the same stage after birth. The look tired, have messy hair, no makeup, and are a little spaced-out (part bliss, part exhaustion) so I can see why this book resonates with new and experienced moms. The scenarios address all those things that would bug a new mom; not enough sleep, no time to ...

Mom's Family Desk Planner 20094 reviews
Sandra Boynton
Workman Publishing Company, 2008
Not just a calendar
I've been buying the Mom's Calendars for many years - at first the wall calendars. First, they are cute qnd I love cute. A great organizer, with vertical columns for each member of your family. One look and you know who needs to be where at what time for why. As my daughter was on the school dance team, son was in band and softball and husband a teacher, it was an enormous help. The stickers ...
