This review is from: How to Start Your Own MomTime (Hardcover)

I purchased this book to help me get my own MomTime group started and I anticipated finding information on how to do that. There is a basic framework provided, but it's not as specific as I would have liked, especially on ideas for childcare for very young children. Much of the book (23 pages) is filled with recipe ideas for the group - these are complete menus for up to 12 weeks. Several of the other pages are full of topics & questions for discussion - I would find these helpful if starting up a group on my own.

Overall, I didn't find it complete enough to help me start my own group, but others may find the basic framework to be just what they need.
