Review

Jane Seymour, O.B.E. Actress, artist, author, mother What an incredible resource, for new and experienced moms! With tips for single mothers, working mothers, mothers of special needs children, and yes, mothers of twins, The Mom Book has something for every mother.

Kathy Peel Author and founder of Family Manager Inc. The Mom Book is an excellent resource for every family manager. It's full of practical, tried-and-true information from highly qualified experts‹moms across America. I highly recommend it.

Mimi Doe Author of Busy But Balanced and 10 Principles For Spiritual Parenting Stacy DeBroff has given moms the ultimate resource book for parenting. Gathered within The Mom Book are hundreds of tried and true tips from the experienced wisdom of other moms. This is a must have book--a true masterpiece. Moms everywhere are saying 'Thank you Stacy...you are the tip goddess.'I love this book!!

Jennifer Moses Author of Food and Whine I wish I had had The Mom Book when my own children were young---I would have kept it on my bedside table, right next to Dr. Spock and whatever novel I still hadn't had a chance to read, because who the hell has a chance to read when all you do is nurse and change diapers? But The Mom Book would have provided solace for my soul, as well as practical, upbeat, usable advice not only on all the basics, but also on every other thing I could possibly have conceived of in the motherhood department. It's an indispensable, soup-to-nuts guide for the modern mother, conveyed with the straightforward warmth of your best friend. The Mom Book is so good I'd almost be willing to go for yet one more bundle of joy.

Neale S. Godfrey Author of Mom, Inc. and Money Doesn't Grow on Trees What a great book! It's chock-full of easy-to-read tips from parents. The book empowers you to learn from moms like you who have been there, done it, and gotten the 'I'm trying to be a supermom' T-shirt. A must for all who are and about to be moms. It's an easy reference book that should be kept on your night table.

Publishers Weekly DeBroff, founder and president of the online community Mom Central, knows the day-to-day maternal routine. In this comprehensive guide, she offers commonsense hints on raising kids...in a straightforward, encouraging style. Her text is accompanied by suggestions from Mom Central contributors, covering everything from how to dress a toddler who wants to wear his pajamas to school to dealing with an older child's jealousy of a new sibling. A solid addition to a parenting bookshelf."

The Larry Silver Radio Show As any parent will tell you, there's no more difficult or rewarding job than raising children. And they don't come with bundles of instructions. The Mom Book is the most comprehensive book on child care since Dr. Benjamin Spock put pen to paper.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the ULTIMATE parenting book, February 20, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Mom Book : 4278 of Mom Central's Tips--For Moms from Moms (Paperback)
This book is almost 700 pages long and it covers it ALL! And the Index makes it easy to find things. Plus you find you're not the only person who has problems with breastfeeding, teacher's conferences, Sleepovers, Whatever... The section I personally found most helpful was on Home pool (we don't have one, but my parents do, and we had to make some adjustments, which I wouldn't have known if I hadn't read the book). I love the moms' comments. These are people who have been there... This is real life advice from real mom...if you only take ten things to heart, it's well worth the price. Very HIGHLY recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars DeBroff Knows Moms! This is a great book!, January 31, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Mom Book : 4278 of Mom Central's Tips--For Moms from Moms (Paperback)
I have been a DeBroff fan ever since her first organizer for moms came out a few years ago and her new book brings us more great ideas consolidated into one book! I am an experienced and very busy mother of three, with a husband who is never at home and I have yet to find a topic Ms. DeBroff investigates without coming up with some new tricks to try. To Disappointed, who gave the two star review, I've BEEN there -- with two kids in diapers and a dog who needed a diaper, worked too hard and been super organized and still can't do it all -- DON'T BLAME IT ON THE BOOK -- you need some girlfriend time, or just chat with some other moms while you have the kids with you if you can't arrange to go out alone.

THIS BOOK WILL BE A GREAT HELP TO MOMS EVERYWHERE, ..., MAKE IT A COFFEE TABLE BOOK FOR THE Moms of the Under 12 set.
