What an incredible resource, for new and experienced moms! With tips for single
mothers, working mothers, mothers of special needs children, and yes, mothers of
twins, The Mom Book has something for every mother. Jennifer Moses, author of Food and Whine
I wish I had had The Mom Book when my own children were young---I would
have kept it on my bedside table, right next to Dr. Spock and whatever novel I
still hadn't had a chance to read, because who the hell has a chance to read
when all you do is nurse and change diapers? But The Mom Book would have
provided solace for my soul, as well as practical, upbeat, usable advice not
only on all the basics, but also on every other thing I could possibly have
conceived of in the motherhood department. It's an indispensable, soup-to-nuts
guide for the modern mother, conveyed with the straightforward warmth of your
best friend. The Mom Book is so good I'd almost be willing to go for yet
one more bundle of joy. Kathy Peel, author and founder of Family Manager Inc.
The Mom Book is an excellent resource for every family manager. It's full
of practical, tried-and-true information from highly qualified experts ‹moms
across America. I highly recommend it. Mimi Doe, author of Busy But Balanced and 10 Principles For Spiritual Parenting
Stacy DeBroff has given moms the ultimate resource book for parenting. Gathered
within The Mom Book are hundreds of tried and true tips from the
experienced wisdom of other moms. This is a must have book--a true masterpiece.
Moms everywhere are saying 'Thank you Stacy...you are the tip goddess. 'I love
this book!! Neale S. Godfrey, author of Mom, Inc. and Money Doesn't Grow on Trees
What a great book! It's chock-full of easy-to-read tips from parents. The book
empowers you to learn from moms like you who have been there, done it, and
gotten the 'I'm trying to be a supermom' T-shirt. A must for all who are and
about to be moms. It's an easy reference book that should be kept on your night
table. The Larry Silver Radio Show
As any parent will tell you, there's no more difficult or rewarding job than
raising children. And they don't come with bundles of instructions. The Mom
Book is the most comprehensive book on child care since Dr. Benjamin Spock
put pen to paper.
