Bought this book for my two daughters who are two of the busiest Mom's I can imagine. I liked the book, but have not gotten feedback from the girls....maybe just toooo busy to read it....ha!!

A must read for all moms!!

It helped me cope when i felt like i wasn't doing everything right..trying to hard to be perfect and trying to manage a blended family with 4 kids!

Sensible advice in a humorous style

Reviewed by Debra Gaynor for Reader Views (3/07) "Life Lessons for Busy Moms," is divided into 7 chapters. Each chapter is filled with wisdom, humor, advice, quotes, tips and stories. "Make Time To Nurture Yourself." The emphasis of this chapter is taking care of you, creating boundaries, cultivating your relationship with your husband and creating balance in your life. As a mother you wear many hats and you need to recognize how important your roles are. "Take Charge of Your Parenting Style/Philosophy." "Implement Creative Solutions (with an Organized Approach)" "Feed Your Soul." As a mother what do you need? What are your goals? What do you see as your future? "Keep an Organized Home." This is my favorite chapter. Organization! Our lives are less stressful is we have detailed schedules, systems and a good calendar. "Solicit Help." We all need assistance at sometime or other but many of us refuse to ask for it. No matter how hard you try you can't be Supermom! "Make Time to Slow Down" When we slow down we come to appreciate "the small things in life" those little moments that later we wish we hadn't rushed through. We come to cherish what's happening right now instead of worrying about what might happen, "the what if's." I wish I'd had this book years ago when my three children were little. Looking back on those precious years I wish I'd been more organized, more stress free. I wish I'd taken more time to enjoy those special moments as they happened rather than stressing out over unimportant things. This is a delightful book with sound, sensible advice and suggestions written in a humorous style. The stories are sure to bring a smile to the faces of mothers and grandmothers. This book would make a fantastic gift for a new or expectant mother. I highly recommend "Life Lessons for Busy Moms" to all mothers and grandmothers. My daughter and daughters-in-law will each be receiving a copy.
