Total Mom Makeover (Book Review)
May 20, 2007
As promised earlier this week, here’s a complete review of Total Mom Makeover by Hannah Keeley.
This is a must read for every mom! What a great motivator for moms! I promise that you will feel energized and excited about life after reading this book.
Keeley is a mom and really understands the issues we all face and struggle with. The book is all about living your life. She teaches you through “homework” exercises how to visualize what you want out of life, what type of mom you want to be, what type of wife, etc. and then she shows you how to make it happen.
It’s a super-easy read and is broken down into sections allowing you to complete the “makeover” in just six weeks. She focuses on four key areas:
- Home - This section includes good organization and multi-tasking tips to make cleaning easier and keep your home clutter free. Life is about living, not about cleaning! What mom doesn’t like that?
- Health - Keeley gives great tips on how to stay fit simply by being more active. She’s not about joining an expensive gym and spending two hours a day working out. She teaches you how to become more fit without using up so much precious time. She also gives great nutritional tips
- Family - This is what it’s all about moms! A “made over” mom, actually has time to enjoy her family, play games with her kids and have a healthy, satisfying relationship with her husband.
- Life - You owe it to yourself and your family to live life to its fullest. Don’t let all the “stuff” you have to do get in your way of enjoying and experiencing life! In the book, Keeley really shows you how to accomplish this. Read more
The Memory Keeper’s Daughter (Book Review)
May 2, 2007
A while back, I was at Target shopping for a good book and this sweet woman (a fellow shopper) walked up to me and asked if she could give me a recommendation on a book. This has never happened to me before, but I certainly welcomed her input.She suggested that I read The Memory Keeper’s Daughter by Kim Edwards. She told me that it was the best book she’d ever read in her life. And, that every time she sees it at the store she wishes she could buy it and read it again for the first time.
Wow, that was a pretty powerful recommendation. I have books that I feel that way about, so I was very excited to potentially discover something really great.
I’ve been so busy lately it’s hard to find time to read, but finally, this past weekend, I completed The Memory Keeper’s Daughter and I can now officially review it for the SharpMoms! Read more
