Customer Reviews

Read just a page a day

I received this wonderful book as a gift. I often only had the time and energy to read just one page before bed. It always comforted me. I always give this book to new moms.

Just what I needed to hear, when I needed to hear it!

This book was wonderful when I was a first time mother of twins. It helped me keep it all in perspective. When I was most frazzled, it made me realize that whether their stages brought good or bad, babyhood is precious and temporary.

Great little pick-me-ups!

Received this book at a baby shower and am re-reading it following the birth of my second baby. The messages are inspiring and remind me that others have been there before me, and that I am not alone in my feelings and experiences. A great gift for any new (or repeat!!!) mom.

The perfect gift for every new mother.

I bought this book after the birth of my first child and read it again after the birth of my second. The brief passages and words of wisdom were easy to read and comforting. I was often only awake enough to read a few pages at a time, but loved every word of them. This book will help any new mother know that she is not alone with the issues and feeling she is facing. It made me laugh out loud and cry while reading it-no matter where I was.As a result, I have bought this book for every new mother I know. It is a book that you just want to share with a new mother because you know it will provide her with support and comfort in the wee hours of the morning or late at night.If you are a new mother, or know of a new mother or new-mother-to-be, this is the perfect book!

A wonderful gift!!

I was given this book as a gift when my daughter was 3 months old. It was the best post partum gift I received! The daily readings help you to keep things in perspective and renew your spirit. I have bought this for two of my friends who recently gave birth. It is a must have for any new first-time Mom!
