In our child centered culture, many Moms suffer from "Mommy Guilt". This book by the same title takes a refreshing look at these overwhelming feelings and how to deal with them. I had the pleasure to meet Aviva Pflock and Devra Renner, authors of Mommy Guilt earlier this year and let me tell you I’m impressed! The authors performed a survey of some 1,300 parents and offer up 7 principles to help us Mamas try out their guilt-free philosophy. The #1 Principle was "You must be willing to let some things Go". I couldn’t agree more wholeheartedly on this one after experiencing Mommyhood for only a brief 2.75 years! Read it – I think you just might feel a lot better about yourself!

You know that Barbie you had when you were a kid–the pregnant one whose belly popped off like a battery cover, allowing you to remove the peanut-size plastic baby and then snap on a flat new front (sold separately)? Well, that’s not exactly how it works… In The Parent Trip: From High Heels and Parties to Highchairs and Potties, Jenna McCarthy tells it like it is, with absolutely no apologies and with laugh-out-loud moments on every other page. Seriously, this book had me laughing out loud and virtually in tears it was so hysterical. Pregnancy and Motherhood is something which unites us all and Jenna covers everything! This book felt like meeting an old friend who knows just what kind of journey I’ve put myself through – cause my husband just doesn’t get it!
