This review is from: Mommy Confidence: 8 Easy Steps to Reclaiming Balance, Motivation, and Your Inner Diva (Paperback)

This little book is basically a published blog, full of Kimberly's tips on maintaining mommy sanity. The whole time I was reading it, I was thinking how it would be a great a book club choice. It is a very quick read and would be fabulous to insight a bit of conversation and debate on motherhood. She talks about some of the problems mom's deal from judgmental peers to dealing with body after baby. I would be a perfect gift for the overwhelmed mom who needs a bit of clarity in her life.

This review is from: Mommy Confidence: 8 Easy Steps to Reclaiming Balance, Motivation, and Your Inner Diva (Paperback)

I recently picked up the book "Mommy Confidence" by Kimberley Clayton Blaine. This quick read shares "8 Easy Steps to Reclaiming Balance, Motivation, and Your Inner Diva" Kimberley (aka The Go-To Mom) is not only a funny writer, she is very easy to relate to and offers advice without judgment. Her tips on everything from making life wish lists to "workin' it" in a swimsuit are great ideas for bringing a little more confidence back into the life of a busy mom.

Like any mom, I have my good days and my not-so-good days. Today just happens to be one of those not-so-good days where my confidence could use a little re-boot. Reading Mommy Confidence is a great reminder to cut myself some slack. It's all about finding balance...something I continue to work on each and every day.

Mommy Confidence is a fun little read for any mom and be sure to also check out The Go-To Mom TV.

This review is from: Mommy Confidence: 8 Easy Steps to Reclaiming Balance, Motivation, and Your Inner Diva (Paperback)

The book deserves 5 stars, but given that it already has a few 5 star reviews, I wanted to break from the pack to provide variance.

Mommy Confidence is a quick, yet integral read, for any mom feeling as if they are falling short and forgetting themselves. This small book really provides a surprisingly big burst of confidence packed into it's 53 pages. You can read this book in no time at all, while reaping the benefits of what is found written inside for years to come! I'm so happy to move over and make space on the Motherhood book shelf for Blain and her new book and I am highly complimented to have our own book cited within it's cover. Congrats KCB, you're going to help many moms exude their confidence and reflect upon their own inner diva, which will no doubt, benefit their relationships with their co-parent, children and friends!
