I’m a bit obsessed with addicted to involved on Facebook and I’ve had the opportunity to catch up with some old friends from high school along the way. Recently, I logged in and saw a note from an old friend of mine, Steven Kenworthy about some of his writings. I was blown away. Steven was [...]

I was sent This is Not How I Thought it Would Be: Remodeling Motherhood to Get the Lives We Want Today by Kristin Maschka. (Sidenote: I LOVE getting books in the mail. It’s just like Christmas!) I was actually in the middle of another book but picked this one up on a whim and read [...]

I truly believe this is something that all moms struggle with: finding 10 minutes to yourself to just be you. I definitely have my methods. Here are just a few:

I like to leave super early for appointments so I can sit in the car in the parking lot with a book
I get up fairly early [...]

Four Seasons – The Story of a Business Philosophy: A Book Review

Filed under Moms In A Book Club

I’ve written before about brands and how impactful they (see my review on Married to the Brand). Brands are powerful. Brands are what we conjur in our minds when we hear something like Coca-Cola, Calvin Klein and Carnival. It’s the immediate impression we get when we order our favorite coffee, stop by our favorite clothing [...]

It seems these days that every mom is looking for balance. I know exactly what balance is. It’s that thing that I pass as I swing from one extreme to another.
And there are tons of books out there about “balanced living” and especially “balanced living for moms.” I admit it. I’ve picked up a [...]

So, last time I told you about Odd Mom Out and how much I loved it. You ready for another dose of Jane Porter goodness? Good, because that’s what you are about to get.
Remember the premise of the last book? How Marta never wanted to fit in and there was the “perfect” mom (Taylor Young) [...]

I was turned on to the book Married to the Brand by my dear friend Jen. She said it is one of her business bibles. Now that’s some high praise, right? Well, it only made sense that I had to check it out ASAP. I ordered it that day and I couldn’t wait to start [...]

Welcome to 10 Days of Business Book Reviews, a power series of sorts. This should be a lot of fun especially for people like me who enjoy the following:
Books that make you think

Slumdog Millionaire: A Book Review

Filed under Moms In A Book Club

A few months ago, my husband and I went to see Slumdog Millionaire in the theater. Nevermind the fact that we hadn’t seen a movie in a theater since Charlie Wilson’s War was out and the one before that was Balboa. Yes, three movies in two years.
Anyway, lack of date nights aside, I loved the [...]
