5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book! August 27, 2012

Format:Hardcover

A Scrapbook of Motherhood Firsts is a must have for mothers-to-be, those who are in the thick of it, and us grandmas. The authors have stitched together their wide scope of experiences with sensitivity and grace. Not only is this well written book filled with practical advice, wisdom, and honest confessions but the cover and the unique interior design are a piece of art--each page is visually stimulating. A great value for the price!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Delightful, Heart-Warming Read August 13, 2012

By Jenny Lee Sulpizio

Format:Hardcover

As mothers, we all know how difficult our job can be as we strive to maintain some sort of balance, all while attempting to raise (and nurture) our children in the process. It's tough. It can be chaotic. And sometimes, it can be downright discouraging. Thankfully, this talented group of authors (comprised of super-knowledgeable moms), came together in order to produce "A Scrapbook of Motherhood Firsts": a beautifully written keepsake that all moms can learn from, laugh with, refer to, and enjoy. This sweet book will not only leave a smile on your face, but will renew your soul and warm your heart when you may need it the most. Packed with great tips, sweet humor, lots of wisdom, and a punch of faith, this book makes a wonderful gift for every mom, no matter what stage of motherhood she may be in. I highly recommend it! :)

5.0 out of 5 stars One to Keep and One (at least) to Give! May 8, 2012

By Carol Z

Format:Hardcover

If you are looking for a Mother's Day gift, you've found the right book. If you are also looking for a treat for yourself, you're also in the right place. This is a lovely book, with the prettiest design and graphics. This would make a terrific gift -- and not just at Mother's Day -- for a beloved mother, mother-in-law, aunt, cousin, Godmother or grandmother. Gift wrap a copy, bring a plate of cookies and a pitcher of lemonade and give the gift of time and talk and memory. The talented authors -- all blog buddies -- share their memories and it's a wonderful springboard to reflecting on memories you share with some of the dearest in your life. This will be my go-to gift for new moms and baby showers, and of course, for Mother's Day!
