Were You Raised by Wolves?: Clues to the Mysteries of Adulthood is a book that every young adult she have. I believe there is a problem in our society today where we as parents are way too busy to spend time with our children. As a result our children are growing up not knowing any basic manner skills like how to RSVP, clean a bathroom, or even be a good party guest. Everything is so fast paced that most young people don’t know how to even sit still during a quiet meeting or an elegant dinner. To help a parent or a young adult that doesn’t know how to master the skill of adult hood this book was created to give you the heads up on what is expected of you.

Mama Rock’s Rules is a fun, informative book written by the mother of the famous comedian Chris Rock. Mama Rock gives you ten lessons on how you are able to raise a household of successful children in a very clear and educational way. Mama Rock is a “give it to your straight” kind of mom. You know she means business. With raising ten kids and 17 foster kids, I think Mama Rock knows a thing or two about raising children. I’m sure we can all learn a thing or two about what she has to say.
This book was definitely a page turner for me. I couldn’t put it down. I felt drawn to what Mama Rock had to say and an urge to learn all that I could in hopes of making my kids the best that they can possibly be. Being a first time parent is hard but with great books like these you feel as if you have someone going through the daily battles with you.
Make sure you pick up this book! Be sure to check out PBN to see what other blogger moms are saying.
The Green Guide is a magazine for all you eco-friendly people out there or people out there that are thinking about doing more to save the environment. I had the chance to sample out this magazine and I was thoroughly impressed. In fact, I think the article I wrote about how grocers should dish out discounts for eco-friendly customers should totally be published in there. I was so ecstatic to find more ways to save money and go green all in one fail swoop!!! There were several really great articles on how to go green and save over $60 a week!! A couple tips is to switch to those swirly lightbulbs and another is to lower your thermostat. I would gladly welcome the Green Guide on my coffee table any day of the week. It is very interesting and informative read to say the least.
Hoo-ray for saving money and the planet!
Peaceful Parenting is a fabulous new book that I have been reading that teaches parents a new method of parenting. As parents we are often fighting with our children over who gets to do what. Children are born wanting to be free and spread their little baby wings but we as parents want to do nothing but protect them and limit what they can or can’t do. There really is no use in fighting over the issue and Peaceful Parenting is a book that teaches you how to parent without being too protective giving the child the freedom that he desires but you the control that you deserve. Check out peacefulparenting.com for more information on this book.
The Expert on Everything - a novel is a mesmerizing novel by Edward David Gil. Does privacy even exist in the world? Through all the technology and everything else in the world it seems that privacy is almost like a thing of the past. This novel is borderline thrilling because you never know what will happen next. This is also a novel you would want to take with you to the beach or on long flights. It is a page turner for sure!! It is hard to write a book review without giving away the plot of the story. The back cover reads:
Young Charlie Sanders is offered a six-figured job after only thirty seconds into an interview at Vector Systems; is mistakenly handed the company’s only prototype of a technology that can definitively erase any and all privacy in our society (code-named “Wallace”, it fits like a snug hearing aid, and can maintain a conversation)…
Sounds pretty interesting, right?
Virus Games (Peter’s Packets Series) is a great short book that dives right into the heart of what the secret world of the internet is all about. Being a tech-savvy girl, I quickly fell in love with this book. Finally a book that talks about a subject that I love…the internet. The book is fast paced and you feel as if you are helping Peter complete his adventure. Peter is a person who changes his mind about computers when he discovers that there is a secret life behind all computers. The life of the “packets”. It is the job of the “packets” to try and stop this evil virus from whiping out the whole existence of the internet.
I loved it! I just could not get enough of this book. I encourage you to read this book for yourself to find out how the story ends.
Getting Back to Love: When the Pushing and Pulling Threaten to Tear You Apart is a good read for couples. It is about how a Mama’s Boy and a Daddy’s Girl personality types have a great potential for passion and romance but if not handled correctly have the potential for ending in tragedy. I am very much a Daddy’s Girl who finds great fulfillment in taking care of others especially my husband. Getting the OK or pleasing my husband or father is probably the greatest fulfillment that I have in life because they are the ones that mean the most to me. As much as my husband hates to admit it due to the death of his mother at the age of 5, he is still a Mama’s Boy. He loves to be taken care of and finds power knowing that I am happy.
I am only half way through this book and finds that it is helping our relationship tremendously. I hope that once I finish reading it once through myself to incorporate this book into hubby and I’s nightime devotionals so that we might learn from the book together as a couple. I think that we must first be open and willing to hear the things that we need to change in order to do some good in our relationship.
Often as mothers we often wonder why our husband’s don’t take as much interest in our children as we do. We don’t understand how husband’s really feel as a Dad. There is a book called The Modern Mom’s Guide to Dad: Ten Secrets Your Husbands Won’t Tell You that attempts to help Moms ease their minds and reveals a little more into what Husbands are feeling when they become Fathers. Men are often very protective over their feelings. More than likely you have had the conversation with your husband of why he won’t help out more with the children or with household chores. This book helps to explain what your husband’s fears and hopes are as well as how to get him more involved in family activities. Not only does this book help in areas concerning the children but it also helps areas of your marriage that have been drastically changed due to having little ones. Really I do not want to say a whole lot more because I do not want to give the book away but really it is a good read and a must for all parents!
This book is a must-read for anyone who has children, are pregnant, or are thinking of becoming parents.
I like the book by Heartfelt Stories because they provide both a positive and encouraging message to children without coming off as preachy. Do you want to get your kids to brush their teeth not only properly but even at all? Read them the story about Toby Gets the Brush Off . Then after you have read the story you both can go into the bathroom and brush “toby”.
More Than a Spoonful teaches children that it is ok to be different. Everyone has their own abilities and talents. This is great book to read to the kids after they come home from having a rough day at school.
I love the positive messages that the Heartfelt Story books have in them. They are a great help in everyday life and helps us mothers out when we need an example but just can’t think of one.
I’ve never heard of the Sweet Potato Queen nor have I read any of her books until I received a copy of one of her latest books entitled “The Sweet Potato Queens’ Guide to Raising Children for Fun and Profit“. Oh my gosh, I have never laughed so hard in my life. This book is fantastic. So fantastic in fact that I could not put this book down from the moment I got it. I go this book two days ago in the mail. That night while cooking supper, I opted to start reading. Big mistake. I couldn’t put it down, I read during supper, in the bed and before you know it was 3 in the morning. I managed to pull myself away for a couple hours of sleep but the moment I got up again, I cracked the book open. I finished reading this book in two days. It is wonderful and so hilarious. You will be shaking your head in agreement, laughing till your side hurts, and calling your friends to tell them about this book. I love it! You can grab a copy of The Sweet Potato Queens’ Guide to Raising Children for Fun and Profit online or at your favorite bookstore.
