Perfect Choice for a Busy Mom,
By C. O'Keeffe "C.T. Lopez-O'Keeffe" (Stewart Manor, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Chicken Soup for the Soul: Power Moms - 101 Stories Celebrating the Power of Choice for Stay-at-Home and Work-from-Home Moms (Paperback)
How embarassing is it to be a contributor of this book without having read it? I knew my story almost verbatim but hadn't taken the time to read the other stories. Please don't think ill of me: I have a 7 month old who only recently started sleeping through the night and my tired eyes were not up for reading the stack of books on my nightstand. I finally had a long train ride and the book with me in my bag. What a great moment. Once I started I could not stop. Each one of these stories is a mini-treasure, a small window into the life of a mom who is different yet facing so many of the same choices, obstacles, issues, joys and sorrows that come with motherhood. The stories are not long and easy enough to read quickly before my eye lids begin to droop at bedtime. I recommend this to any mother, especially ones with small children who are trying to figure out their lives one day at a time. Congratulations to all the contributors on being great moms and thanks to them for sharing their beautiful stories.

Great for Every Mom!!!,
This review is from: Chicken Soup for the Soul: Power Moms - 101 Stories Celebrating the Power of Choice for Stay-at-Home and Work-from-Home Moms (Paperback)
This book is fantastic! I have my copy in my car, and I pick it up and read a few stories while I'm waiting to pick my child up at school. Every contribution is beautiful, and the honesty is fantastic! There's even a chapter written by MEN about their appreciation for their moms and wives! Whether you're the working mom, or the stay-home mom, or the empty nester, you will empathize with the authors, laugh, cry, and appreciate some new perspectives on the hardest non-paying job there is ;-)

My Mom loves it!,
By Heather Pemberton "Heather Pemberton" (Weston, CT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chicken Soup for the Soul: Power Moms - 101 Stories Celebrating the Power of Choice for Stay-at-Home and Work-from-Home Moms (Paperback)
I gave a copy of the book to my mom, the original power mom, because I wrote one of the stories in it. Well, she's getting a real kick out of reading all the stories. She says she keeps it by her exercycle and reads a few stories each time she works out. She thinks they're funny and wonderful and says they bring back lots of memories. After bearing five children and then building a business with my father, she knows what it's like to juggle the many priorities we moms do today. She now has 11 grandchildren and is still working hard at 71! This book would make a great Mother's Day gift for any mom.
