Review # 1 was written on 2016-03-30 00:00:00 Chris Held I love the book as it make me realised that parenting is something to be enjoyed and not merely endured. The fun thing will only be realised if parents take care of their own self first. Then will the fun kicks in as we are recharged and in charge of our action towards the kids. Kids are the people of tomorrow. Parents are responsible on how tomorrow will looks like depending on how we parent them.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-03-04 00:00:00 Michael Obraske Even when I was only half way through my library copy, and I was quite sure I need to own a copy of this book. I also want to put it on a "read again, fairly soon... and often" shelf. It's certainly written for busy moms (regardless of their description: SAHM, WAHM, full/part-time working mom... etc) - with short chapters, bullet points, bolded quotations. I have laughed and teared up a handful of times already and feel so encouraged, supported, inspired, and eager to continue enjoying parenthood - and more so, as time goes on. I'm gunna have to put this on "buy for friends who become parents, when they have toddlers or any older child" list. It's fantastic. It also seems to have christian influences, not entirely discreetly, so I would warn anyone who isn't a fan of christianity that that is a small element of it before passing it on. But for me? That's a plus. Can't wait to read more, and wish I could meet the author! It was written a while ago, and by a mother whose kids are older than I am now, so there is a bit of a stereotypical stay-at-home-mom vibe to some her personal stories and whatnot, but if you aren't reading this seeking to break stereotypes and instead to find rejuvenation as a mother, I think it's outstanding. I also want to own a copy of it so that I can reference all of the wonderful quotations pertaining to all manner of thing mentioned in it, as well as have my husband read the chapter on fathers/husbands. I found this book a fun, light, encouraging and not demanding read. It also speaks broadly to many issues in parenting found in parenting from birth to adult children.
