Customer Reviews

What a great book!

I loved this book!! I'm a first time mom and they had everything I could have ever needed to know on a personal level in the book. What I especially loved is the way the present all sides and thoughts of a situation and they did all the research for you! I laughed out loud reading this book so many times and so did my husband (who hates reading but read this book because it's so great). I would recommend this book to anyone having a child or who already has one. I borrowed this book from the library and after reading it decided I needed to buy a copy to always have handy for their helpful research and tips. It's just great having a book that came from real moms who had two total different views on how to raise their children. From here on out I will always give this book to all my friends and family as a shower gift.

Great for moms

I can't wait to read it, but I sent it to my girlfriend for her birthday. I thought it would be great for moms. She absolutely loved it and was very thankful!!! Now I will get my copy.

An entertaining, yet seriously helpful "manual" with a pair of views

I am really enjoying this book. It gives you two different point of views (through their own experiences) as moms to moms from the delivery of your first child to healthy child-rearing to work-life balance to marriage to education (and many other subjects). I also found great appreciation for many websites they include throughout and at the end of each chapter. Don't let the colorful, cute cover deceive you. It is not only humorous and girly, but it also gives great, much-needed advice and facts for serious life challenges. I'm going to always keep this book within arms-reach!
