Download or read book Life As a Mommy written by Cathy Spigarelli and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2006-04 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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. "Life as a Mommy" provides a window into the daily life of a mom, revealing her triumphs and struggles, her joy and laughter, and her dilemmas and concerns. 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: Ramshackle Glam creator Jordan Reid was a little nervous about becoming a mother. "In my experience," she writes, "you know what happens when you hold babies? They cry. And it immediately becomes clear to all present that you have terrible parental instincts and should never be allowed to come into contact with children -- ever." But in October 2011 Reid became a mother herself, and over the first year of her son's life the writer and media personality not only figured out a thing or two about parenting, but also learned how to navigate an entirely new lifestyle while still maintaining a sense of self. Part memoir, part commiseration, and part how-to guide on fashion, beauty, home dér and entertaining for the new mom, Ramshackle Glam offers something fresh for the "mommy" bookshelf: concrete advice on how to care for yourself in the post-partum days, weeks, and months. A deeply personal exploration of the realities of modern-day parenthood (Reid covers topics ranging from post-partum depression and marital struggles to pets who immediately transform from your beloved best friends into Those Things That Wake Up Your Child), Ramshackle Glamis also filled with straightforward, fun, and easy lifestyle tips, including how to dress for your post-partum shape, tricks for rearranging your home so it works with an infant as well as your tastes, and strategies for getting your makeup done in five minutes flat with one hand while keeping that bouncy chair going with the other. Reid's spot-on advice combined with her trademark intimacy, wit, and (often aching) honesty make Ramshackle Glam a must-read for any woman in search of a candid account of how to handle enormous life changes with humor, grace . . . and a little bit of glam.

Download or read book Mothers Circle written by Romina Cavagnola and published by Alchemy of Alignment(tm) Publishing. This book was released on 2021-11-24 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A mothers circle is an intimate gathering where women find compassion, validation, and acceptance through sharing their stories and experiences with other mothers who can truly offer understanding and support. These days, mothers have all but lost the networks that were organically put in place in early cultures. They say it takes a village to raise a child, and this was certain. It also takes a village to initiate and support a woman into motherhood, but not all mothers have access to a village. The mothers in this book all found themselves seeking support that was simply not there... at least, not in the form of a sisterhood, a circle that would hear them and hold them as they moved through the challenges and joys of motherhood. They share their personal motherhood stories to gift hope, healing, empowerment, and inspiration to other mothers who do not have a circle to hold them. This foundational volume of Mothers Circle sets the stage for a movement to empower mothers through the most natural mode of connection- stories. As we share our struggles and our triumphs, mother to mother, we bring ourselves together and call in others who need the sisterhood of aligned souls walking beside them on their motherhood journeys. Mamas, this is the birth of YOUR sacred village.

Download or read book Mother Behold Thy Son written by Francisca Mandeya and published by Transformational Call. This book was released on 2019-10-12 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Francisca Mandeya believes in Maternal Power--in the sacred bond created when a child begins its journey in its mother's body, intricately bound by a connection even stronger than the umbilical cord. Born girl number three, experiencing inequality right from birth, and reclaiming her indigenous name Ndaiziweyi undocumented by the government--she began a lifelong commitment to practicing gender equality in her home. (Indeed, her song, "Takaenzana/We Are Equal" is on the 2010 album she recorded with her children and used by the Africa Outreach USA Foundation.) Mandeya is convinced that the untapped potential of maternal power is a transformational force in the struggle for gender equality. In Mother, Behold Thy Son, she takes readers inside her most personal experiences to demonstrate how mothers can use storytelling--coupled with their innate maternal power--to not just help their sons to reject toxic masculinity but also to model how their daughters can become authentic equals. Proclaiming that "vulnerable is the new strong", Mandeya believes that acknowledging vulnerability, insisting on visibility, and modeling authenticity are key steps to take on the healing path leading to an end of suffering in our lives. In addition to sharing her powerful story of awakening and transformation--from her native Zimbabwe to her home in the Canadian Arctic--she guides readers through simple action steps designed to make the world more equitable. Mother, Behold Thy Son is a book for anyone ready to take action to achieve radical transformation in their lives, communities and the world.
