eBook Review: Public Relations Toolkit by John Sternal
Posted by: | CommentsThis eBook is a short, to-the-point introduction to PR. It’s a great introduction to marketing and is perfect for mom entrepreneurs who are just starting out or are ready to take their business to the next level.

Review: Come Along by Jane Rubietta
Posted by: | Comments
If you have ever felt dragged down by the seeming “must dos” of the Christian life, come along and learn of the freedom Jane Rubietta holds out to you.
In Come Along: The Journey into a More Intimate Faith, Rubietta invites her readers to a free and more intimate relationship with Jesus. She leads us into new interactions with Him showing us how to encounter Jesus daily, minute by minute.
She gives us a fresh look at how Jesus really wants us to live. We tend to make the Christian life so complicated. We set rules to live by, we depend on Scripture software programs, a new method of prayer, a memory plan, or learning and using the original language. Rubietta concedes this can all help but it can also get in the way. We tend to focus on the tools not on God. That makes us self righteous when all God really wants to do is manifest Himself to us in a vibrant encounter. Read More→

If you accept responsibility for your life, why do you sometimes hold back from what you really want to do or be? Scalf Linamen might have some answers. Could you be allowing the memory of other people to hold you back? Do you let what they said about you or to you years ago still define you?

Teach Yourself: Feeding Your Toddler by Judy More
Posted by: | Comments
Ok, I admit it. The cover alone made me want to read this book. Who can resist a messy toddler?
All joking aside, this is an issue that hit home with me. My toddler is the pickiest eater I know (and I’m a picky eater myself, so I do know…). He currently lives on hot dogs and chicken nuggets. And while I know this isn’t healthy, I was at a bit of a loss as to how to change his eating habits. Read More→
The No-Cry Nap Solution by Elizabeth Pantley
Posted by: | Comments
It’s been a LONG time since my son napped. He’ll be 4 years old this month and though I know there are days that he desperately needs a nap, I have to admit that getting him to actually take one takes longer than the nap itself lasts. At some point I threw my hands up in defeat and just decided “he’s not a napper – at least not anymore.” Boy do I miss those napping days.
When I saw Elizabeth Pantley’s new book, “the no-cry nap solution,” I decided it was worth a look. And I like what I found. Pantley offers practical advice for parents to aid them in the naptime discipline. And she even offers hope for those of use with “non-nappers” – daily quiet times and other suggestions. If you and your child struggle at naptime, you’ll want to grab a copy of this book. Read More→
