and Fifteen Pounds of Bacon - Southern Stories of Faith

Review:I just happened upon the book and the boomama blog through a mutual friend's tweet. Where have I been??? I instantly connected with the "feeling" of home and what "home" is all about. From the beginning of the first story, I was hooked!!!If you love the tradition of family - no matter how screwy your's is - you'll LOVE this book. Be prepared to laugh out loud with tears streaming down your face and a kleenex in hand..... GOOD TIMES! Enjoy!!!! Headed out to buy another copy for a "non-southerner"... Read more

Everything You Need to Know for Growing Up YOU (Boys World Books)
Everything You Need to Know for Growing Up YOU (Boys World Books)

Review:My husband and I knew we needed to start bringing up puberty to my eight year old. He is young enough that we didn't need to go into a lot of detail. Just let him know what would be happening in the near future. We looked through a lot of books on Amazon and read a lot of reviews and decided on this book. My husband and i read it before we showed him. Then my husband went over a few basics with my son. There are some things in the book we don't need to worry about for a while like facial hair a...

What's Happening to My Body? Book for Girls - Revised Edition

Review:I chose this book for my granddaughter. It has just been mailed to her mom for approvel. I'm sure it will answer some
questions a 14 yr. old may be embarressed to ask a parent. I want her mom to inspect it first though. I believe she will find it a good book. A couple of years ago I bought the same type of book for my two grandsons. I thought it explained about the body and the changes in the body very well. I was happy with this book and I would recommend it to anyone with young teens. Read more

From the Diary of a Teenage Mom - Read Between the Lines

Review:Omg I loved this book!! Jenelle has always been one of my favorite teen moms. I've been watching Jenelle since day 1 since her episode of 16 and pregnant. She has really really turned her life around and for the better. She felt like it was time to throw in the towl from her old life and start fresh and that she did. Im so proud of the woman and mother she has become for her kids and really am rooting for her to get her little boy back! I'm so thrilled she shared part of her childhood with her f... Read more

Wife for Life: The Power to Succeed in Marriage
Wife for Life: The Power to Succeed in Marriage

Review:This book has honestly changed my mind about getting a divorce from a 16 year marriage. I've gone from about to start the divorce process to being EXCITED and energized about our life ahead together. Unlike my experience with counseling over the couple of years, it doesn't focus solely on fixing issues (which is important but can be depressing work because you're just focusing on the problems) but is much more positive, enlightening and visionary in its approach. It is exactly what I needed at t... Read more

It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken - The Smart Girl's Breakup Buddy

Review:After a very painful break-up, I found myself trying to call him, asking his friends for information about him, ect. My friends were sick of hearing about him, and I was going crazy. Then I picked up this book. The advice was very straight forward, and the anecdotes were very funny.I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has been dumped or did the dumping, and is an emotional wreck. BTW I am now blissfully single and enjoying dating again! Read more

Navigating the Delicate Relationship Between Adult Children and Parents
Navigating the Delicate Relationship Between Adult Children and Parents

Review:For every parent who feels the strain of relating to your children who are now fully grown. This book took away the anxiety I was feeling and the anger it was creating with feelings of an abandonment of sorts. I was not prepared for how I would feel once my son was truly independent. Instead of appreciating the quality of our visits I was counting numbers of visits as my marker for 'my time'. This book has given me the perspective and the truth I needed to move forward with my son in my life. Read more
