Great Guide!

This book has helped me to simplify my life. Before 3.5 years ago, I was a successful executive who had everything organized. Staying at home with my angel was the best decision I have ever made. But motherhood had thrown me for a loop - and unraveled that life. This book breaks everyday tasks into the lowest common denominator. As with life, you should pick and choose what works for you and go with that. I know it sounds juvenile to have to 'make your bed' everyday - but for some of us - it has taken these basic steps to turn the bigger issues around. I am now purchasing 5 more books for other girl friends!

Time For All Moms

Mary and Heather have put together some great ideas about how stay at home moms can become stay at home working moms. Easy to read and full of handy tips to help tackle some of the many questions regarding working out of the home. Inspiration is not lacking in this right on target up to date book. They did an amazing tribute to any and all of us who either are trying to make things work from a home based business or who just need help in getting through the first steps. Trying to follow through on a home based business is terribly time consuming and they don't try to hide it. It can certainly be told that you will need to either hire help with the kids or try to work in between naps and at night for a while. It's time for all moms to try and obtain their dreams, Mary and Heather can help accomplish these goals if you will read and then ask questions. It has helped me to pursue things I was terrified to do in the business world for fear of feeling guilty about taking away family time. I also bought and read another book from Jodie Lynn who is listed as one of their MomsTown Experts. Her book, Mommy-CEO, is perfect with Mary's and Heather's as she teaches us how to fill our roles in the family, parent the kids, and still maintain our personal goals. I love them both and it's just time for all moms to learn how to be the true leader in her own life with family and personal business goals at home...having it all? You bet we can with authors and voices such as these.

A great book for Moms of all ages!

I recieved the book about 2 weeks ago. And I love it! It's everything any mom needs all in one book and in a fashion that is easy to understand. I feel like I'm talking about a movie... I laughed, cried, and turned red a few times..... but best of all I found answers. I can see that even though I thought I was in the Goddess role and had lost her..... I'd recommended this book to every mom. Even Single mom's like me. This book is the booster shot I needed to make the changes I wanted but feared.... I also see how even more enriching head the chapter of MomsTown will be for all involved and for me as well. It will go beyond my dreams. And yes I did read it all. I wanted to make sure I was prepared for our first group meeting. Thanks for writing the book. I 've read lots of books for mom's, parenting, and women business, and this is "IT". This book speaks to me on a personal level. I'm know it will speak to every mom that way.

FINALLY!!! You gals really do "GET IT"....all I can do is say THANK YOU! I waited until my late 30's to have my children...thinking by then I would have climbed the corporate mountain and would leave without looking back - and - I do feel blessed to stay at home with my children...BUT...I felt a little lost - with no "360 feedback" and no "formal training" - I felt like I conformed (to what I thought) a Stay-at-home-Mom's was supposed to be...and it wasn't working for me! I lost myself completely! Seriously, your book truly set me free - by the first week I felt so much better - implementing your tips! And by the 5th week...Watch out - I was Baaaacccckkk! I had been told over and over: "If Mama Ain't Happy - Ain't Nobody Happy" and not until reading your book, did I see how true that was! Now I begging you to write more - ALL Mom's can benefit from your honest, humorous and spot on advice! LOVE IT!

Moms On Fire!

Mary and Heather have hit a home run with this book, on how women can be better moms, spouses, friends, and entrepreneurs. While I am not their target reader, I do believe their advice and counsel is credible, and their energy and enthusiasm for their business and helping others succeed in business is streetsmart, practical, and applicable for those who really want to take a product or service to the marketplace. If you are in a rut, or have an idea you want to see to fruition, then get this book immediately, and make it your desktop or bedside bible. Refer to it often. You'll be glad you did as you watch your dreams come to life in a way you could not imagine. And if you ever get a chance to meet them or hear Mary and Heather speak, you will be better for it. They have a special fire in their hearts, and want you to be a part of the revolution. They're pretty cool!
