Book excerpt: "Do You Feel Isolated as a Mom?" You've heard, "No man is an island," but did you know that, "No mom is an island," either? Through twelve years of parenting, Cathy Spigarelli has learned moms need other moms, for advice, reassurance, suggestions, and camaraderie. In her book, "Life as a Mommy," moms find just such support. Every day for a year, Cathy wrote about life with her three, young children. The 365 compact entries have a girlfriend-to-girlfriend, conversational tone and can be read in minutes, without guilt.

The book gently advises, provides insights, and offers suggestions to fellow moms. You will laugh, you will cry, and you will wonder, as Cathy does, about this incredibly difficult, incredibly joyous thing called motherhood. Cathy Spigarelli didn't start out dreaming of being a mommy. Instead, she began a career as an engineer. She married and then completed a master's degree. With a brand new degree and a brand new baby, Cathy found herself at a turning point. Setting aside career ambitions, she became a full-time mommy. For twelve years, Cathy has been a stay-at-home mom. Every day for an entire year, she captured her thoughts, feelings, and concerns about daily life as a mom. She wrote while locked in the bathroom, at stoplights, and in the preschool parking lot. She lives with her husband (who wonders why he isn't mentioned in the book more often) and her three lively children (who wonder why mommy writes about them) in Indianapolis, Indiana. In this book, you will find that, as a mom, you do not walk alone. We journey through motherhood together. Won't you join me?

Book excerpt: A classic he-said-she-said romantic comedy! This updated anniversary edition offers story-behind-the-story revelations from author Wendelin Van Draanen. The first time she saw him, she flipped. The first time he saw her, he ran. That was the second grade, but not much has changed by the seventh. Juli says: “My Bryce. Still walking around with my first kiss.” He says: “It’s been six years of strategic avoidance and social discomfort.” But in the eighth grade everything gets turned upside down: just as Bryce is thinking that there’s maybe more to Juli than meets the eye, she’s thinking that he’s not quite all he seemed. This is a classic romantic comedy of errors told in alternating chapters by two fresh, funny voices. The updated anniversary edition contains 32 pages of extra backmatter: essays from Wendelin Van Draanen on her sources of inspiration, on the making of the movie of Flipped, on why she’ll never write a sequel, and a selection of the amazing fan mail she’s received. Awards and accolades for Flipped: SLJ Top 100 Children’s Novels of all time IRA-CBC Children’s Choice IRA Teacher’s Choice Honor winner, Judy Lopez Memorial Award/WNBA Winner of the California Young Reader Medal “We flipped over this fantastic book, its gutsy girl Juli and its wise, wonderful ending.” — The Chicago Tribune “Van Draanen has another winner in this eighth-grade ‘he-said, she-said’ romance. A fast, funny, egg-cellent winner.” — SLJ, Starred review “With a charismatic leading lady kids will flip over, a compelling dynamic between the two narrators and a resonant ending, this novel is a great deal larger than the sum of its parts.” —Publishers Weekly, Starred review

Download or read book The Reluctant Mother written by Zehra Naqvi and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Reluctant Mother is a book of rage. Rage at being alone in your pain, having your conflict belittled, and your struggles trivialised. It is the story of a young woman who seeks to find herself in a world that constantly tries to define her and who she should be. It is the memoir of an anti-mother. A woman who doesn’t fall in love with her baby at first sight but discovers love along the way. This book is for anyone who feels overwhelmed by the idea of ‘ideal’ motherhood. Be it a woman or a man, one way of confronting trauma is to know that you are not alone in it. To know that someone shares your story and understands your emotions and guilt that accompanies feeling anything other than ‘perfectly blissful’ about motherhood. It is at once heartbreaking and poignant as it is hopeful and comforting. It is the story of one woman and yet the life of many. It reveals how tradition and modernity, faith and reason, pleasure and pain are all so intimately interwoven for women that their true sense of self is inevitably one of contradictions. The book’s biggest strength lies in its rawness and honesty. Nothing but the truth stands here.

Download or read book I Am Mommy written by Susan Hughes and published by I am Mommy.. This book was released on 2007-07 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author was immersed in her career. She had prepared for years for this time in her life - she was financially independent and moving step by step up the corporate ladder. That was the true definition of success . . . or so she thought. Then it happened - marriage. Then it happened - pregnancy. Then it happened - REDEFINITION! Susan Hughes explores well below the surface of the working mom vs. stay-at-home mom debate using her humorous though deeply honest recollection of the birth of her son and the challenges and joys that followed. She takes us on her journey from "manager" to "Mommy" that left her knowing, without a doubt, that motherhood is the most important and most powerful job there is. The undeniable truths presented within make a convincing argument that kids, not career, should be a mother's top priority.

Download or read book The Second Nine Months written by Vicki Glembocki and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2009-01-06 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When her daughter Blair was born, Vicki Glembocki experienced the first blast of maternal bliss that she assumed would carry her through the next nine months of sleepless nights and all the challenges that come with a new baby. So why was the transition into motherhood so hard? Because no one told her the real deal about what lay ahead. Finally, one mother gives the unvarnished truth about those first months, from the worry over whether you're bonding, to the suspicion that you're the only woman on earth who lacks the "maternal gene." Funny and brutally honest, Glembocki lets new moms know they're not alone and reassures them that when someone coos, "Aren't you just loving every minute?" it's perfectly normal to think: "No, actually, I'm not!" And you and your child will still turn out just fine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is grace? It is the exercise of love, kindness, mercy, favor; a disposition to benefit or serve another. A mother's grace merits this definition and takes it even further. When a child is born, so is a mother, as she sets off on the most profound, rewarding journey one can take. Our mothers sacrifice and save us, nurture and heal us, guide and teach us. And at each stage, they must learn to trust and let go. The women featured in A Mother's Grace learned this lesson in the cruelest sense after a profound loss of life, home, health, or livelihood brought them to their knees. Though they experienced unimaginable tragedy, each of them turned their suffering and grief into something positive to help others. Through their tears, these everyday women found resilience, and carved their own intuitive path to create powerful nonprofit organizations that are helping to make the world safer and more empathic for us all. Their poignant stories will inspire you to follow them as they lead us to a brighter and more hopeful future. Book jacket.
