Nate snagged this one for me on a bargain buy. I feel like I'm becoming "hotter" with each page

This was my monthly self help read and it was quick and easy to get through. I liked it. It wasn't ground breaking information but it was a helpful way to remind me to take care of me to be better for me and my family. I would definitely recommend this book to any and ever mom out there.

This is a simple to the point book about how to keep it all together while being a mom. The short, yet inspiring, chapters touch base on how to fit in the necessities of sanity into your daily life. Exercising, eating well, breathing, etc. There is the obvious chapter of taking time out for yourself. I don't have a problem with that but it was a nice brush up. A lot of these chapters might be brush ups but it's a short and reasonable reminder of how you can do it all just in bite size bits.

There are journal prompts and writing space.

An easy, breezy read for a new mom. I appreciated the short sections as I juggled reading this book while caring for my newborn. Some of the advice I really appreciated, like the chapters on dealing with difficult people, and traveling with baby. Other advice may be helpful to others, though I'd read it before in many other places (tips on how to simplify your wardrobe). Some tips were eye-roll inducing (wear sexy underpants! OWN your sexiness!) Overall, I'd recommend it to other moms, especially for the ease of reading.

This was an easy read, but nothing terribly original or witty to speak of for a new mother. In fact some of the advice (Make time for yourself! Wear sexy underwear!) was honestly eye-roll inducing.

It's like the people who dispense gem of knowledge like "sleep while your baby is sleeping!" Maybe that works for some, but it sure did not for me.

I read this for book club and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Some of the advice in it would be good for a quick pick-me-up for new young moms, but some of it I thought was kind of stupid. Another thing that bothers me is the use of the word "hot" - it just sounds degrading to me.

This book is so great! My girls got this for me as a mothersday present and there are so many great tips in this book! I couldnt have asked for anything better! I am well on my way to becoming a HOT MOM!

Don't bother.

I love this book for when I am in the deep perils of motherhood. It's loaded with lots of great common sense and permission to still take care of myself!!

I think this is a great book for new Mom's. They should read it before they have the baby so they can be reminded to make time for themselves.

[Jasmine]

awesome!! something I'm going to read again and again.. just to keep reminding myself of things that I don't think about often enough

[Renee Musgrove · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book! I read it several years ago and I am reading it again. Very insightful!!

[Laura · Rating 1 out of 5]

Not sure why I picked this up - it's just not for me. If you're into this kind of book, Vicki Iovine is much better.
