Thanks a Million

As mothers, we find ourselves accustomed to juggling millions of things at once, only to find ourselves overwhelmed and uncertain about who we really are or where we stand in the world. Whether it's to our children, jobs, spouses, or family, we often times find ourselves second or forgotten. Rarely because our loved ones are not well intentioned but instead because we have fallen into the pits of unrealistic expectations of self and very poor self care. Time for mom-Me, 5 Essential Strategies for a Mother's Self-Care reveals just that. It's a God send; a wake up call on how neglecting Self deprives one of the fullness of life as a woman who happens to be a mother and an invaluable toolkit to help us negotiate the same level of care and attention that we so graciously give to others. Thanks a million!

Every Mom needs this book!

Time for mom-Me: 5 Essential Strategies for A Mother's Self-Care is definitely a book we all need. As a mother of three, I constantly struggle to find time just to do chores, activities, bills, volunteer, and the list goes on. I never considered making time just for me on a regular basis. "Me" time typically happened on my birthday and mother's day. Thank you Mia, for showing how easily I can do things for me without feeling guilty. I'm going to buy this book for 3 other moms, and tell them to do the same!

great book

Mia Redrick's book is a great mix of practical advice and supportive encouragement. She gives moms permission to pay attention to their own needs without giving pie-in-the-sky advice. Escaping to a deserted island might be relaxing but it isn't going to happen! But I can put my kids to bed a little earlier so that I can schedule some 'ME' time as Ms. Redrick suggests. I particularly like the part about 'blending' responsibilities with kid time. This is a great book for moms who have ever felt overwhelmed and under-relaxed (in other words, ALL moms!)

Perfect Book For All Moms

Finally, a book dedicated to helping mothers everywhere live truly fulfilling lives without neglecting their own needs. I'm a working (workaholic) mom who never took any time for myself. I love Redrick's concise and instructive ways to incorporate self-care into the most common aspects of everyday life. Redrick's thought-provoking book is filled with words to live by. It certainly has altered the way I live my life, and has probably added years to it. Thank you, Mia Redrick!

Concise and easy to use

The perfect book for moms of all ages. The book explains how to get on track with addressing the needs of mothers as people. It helped me reaffirm that I have to take care of myself in order to take care of my family. More importantly, the book gave me an easy to follow outline for getting back on track with who I am outside of the mommy role. As a working mom my life is too hectic for tedious how-to books. This book is concise, easy to read, and to the point. It works well for my on the go lifesytle. There are pages to make notes and it fits in my purse! Absolutely love it!
