It's All About You is a terrific book. I received it in the mail about a week ago and have enjoyed it immensely. I loved Chapter 3, "Resetting Your Clock," and found the lessons and advice about how to save time, find time, and not waste time particularly helpful. I also enjoyed Chapter 12, "Mom and Ms. Success" and the discussion of the career/family conflict, as this is something I have been struggling with for quite some time. The authors provide great assistance, support, and resources to help with every aspect of a woman's life and I have no doubt I will constantly refer to this book for it's practical words and wisdom as I raise and enjoy my children, spend time with family and friends (and my wonderful husband of course), do work I enjoy, and look to live each and every day to the fullest.

Mary Goulet and Heather Reider, the dynamic duo behind It's All About You and the MomsTown online community, are walking the walk and talking the talk in their latest volume just for moms. But don't let the pep talk fool you; It's All About You isn't afraid to tackle the tough stuff.

It's real-life, practical information and advice that covers it all. From money to sex, and from cooking tips and tricks to strategies for organizing a life of chaos, Mary and Heather are a mom's best friends. In their funny and warm way, the MomsTown moms tell you how they've been there, done that, and when they haven't, they turn to real-life moms who have.

But my favorite thing about It's All About You is that it was written out of a genuine, and gracious concern for the whole well-being of mothers from all walks of life. If you want to feel good about being a woman, a mother, and an adult with goals, dreams and aspirations, you'll love It's All About You.

I've been involved with MomsTown since day one. Being so close to them
you'd think I would be overly biased and say that anything they produced
was excellent. It's actually quite the contrary. I want to make sure
they produce excellent product and can often be more critical than the
average Josephine. It's All About You is an excellent book! It's witty,
fun, educational, grass roots, and realistic. Mary and Heather offer a
lot of great advice on ways to manage your life, your family, and you as
both woman and mom. Sure there's a lot of common sense, I think I've
heard it before somewhere advice, but there's also a great mix of
original-make-you-think-get-it-in-gear really good advice in this book.
My favorite chapter is the one on family. It brings back traditional
values with newer generation advice while taking the pressure off to be
so perfect. The quotes are excellent and very well selected. So many
times I thought they were in my head putting in print so many things
I've thought about in my daily life. It made me laugh out loud, it made
me think, it made me want to take immediate action, and it also assured
me that I wasn't alone with my thoughts as a woman and a mom. It brings
new meaning to "I Am Woman Hear Me Roar"--thanks Mary and Heather!

As a mom of two, I found this book amazing in its ability to communicate to those with children. The information is easy to read without being condescending and addresses all of the important issues. I finished this book months ago and still find myself quoting from it! A must have for any mom.

MomsTown founders Heather Reider and Mary Goulet are veterans of the mompreneur space and have lessons for us all - as well as a welcome dose of humor. It's All About You is a must-read for every mother who's ever thought about breaking the mold and breaking out on her own. Heather and Mary are an inspiration and at the same time accessible and relatable - their latest book is not to be missed!

A must read for all moms wondering who they are, and what happened to their prior life? It's not a "you can have it all" book, but a way of reminding yourself that you need to still be YOU and pursue your happiness alongside your family! As a mom, we all think "who the heck am I?" We lose our identities and MomsTown helps us get it back!

This book was the perfect remedy for my mommy blues! Finally a book that addresses the whole woman from the choas of the witching hour to the sensuality of the bedroom! I loved it, loved it, loved it! Real woman, real advice and a real lift!

I love this book! It addresses the feminine, the nurturer, the diplomat, the dynamo, the fears, the guilt, the moods, the needs and desires of all woman, all moms. This book is my inspiration when I am feeling low or just want a boost of creativity. It helps me get out of my rut and see that I have choices. Thanks Mary and Heather.
Awesome read.
