Summary: A "Must Read" for any Vicki Iovine Fan
Comment: This book is written for the Mommy who has finally put all the kids in school, and now wants to reclaim a part of her old self. Although I still have small ones at home, I found it reassuring that these "stages" parents go through with the kids don't last long, so we might as well enjoy them. At the same time, we need to remember that "we are the only ones who know how much soul-searching time we need to keep functioning as the locomotives that pull the family train." I think a Mother can never hear enough that the days are long but the years are short, and that taking care of yourself must be a priority if we're to make it all fly and stand a chance of enjoying our families and ourselves.

Summary: mommy off the map
Comment: If you are a mommy, you probably feel like you've been kicked off the map to life. I'm talking about your own Life Map. (Even if you're body looks similar to a road map with stretch marks.) Vicki is funny and straight to the point, for the most part. The book is a keeper and you will feel like someone has listened and gone through the same days and nights as we have all experienced. For us mommies who need to reclaim our lives and unplug the kids for a while, in my suggestion box, there are three books which will help, "The Girlfriends' Guide to Getting Back Your Groove," "Your New Life as a Mom," by career consultant, Sheryl Gurrentz, and "Mommy-CEO," by syndicated parenting columnist, Jodie Lynn. Everywhere burned out moms look, there is a book, tape or something to help us get back our groove: OUR GROOVE is our own map of life and is best explained in these three books. "Your New Life as a MOM" shows us how to organize and use our life for others as well as ourselves, "The Girlfriends'Guide" shows us how to get back into a sort-of- normal before marriage state as best as we can and feel ok about it, and "Mommy-CEO" shows us how to get the kids to do things for themselves so we can have a guilt free life to call our own. There's not enough room here to list all of the reasons for moms to buy all three books but they are all full of tips, communication traits we need to share with our hubbys or signifcant other, thought provoking solutions, and most of all just plain old fun and laughter for mommies. If you're like me and feel you are ready to scream several times a day at several different people (including your kids and loving hubby) invest in these books for your own sanity and get back your groove in the family map without being selfish or self centered. Smile, I did it and that's saying a lot, so I bet you can too.
