  <default_description>Keys to Making Motherhood Memorable, Meaningful, and Magnificent

Looking for some secrets to make being a mom more fun and rewarding? In this charming new book, mother-and-daughter team Linda Eyre (mother of nine) and Shawni Eyre Pothier (mother of five) share some great ideas.

Looking back with the perspective of a lifetime of mothering, Linda is uniquely positioned to share the insights she has gained, with a gentle reminder that those seemingly endless trenches of motherhood will be gone before you know it. Shawni, with her little ones still at home, speaks to all young mothers, offering encouragement and support in a friendly, conversational style. She reminds us that kids are like puzzles--you just have to figure them out!

Filled with entertaining stories of the ups and downs all mothers experience, accompanied by enchanting full-color photographic portraits, &lt;i&gt;A Mother's Book of Secrets&lt;/i&gt; won't be a secret for long.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[There are a lot of good ideas in here to try. Naturally, there are some things that aren't my style, but I loved the book's emphasis on creating a plan for how you want to accomplish certain goals. And I do have to say the photography is fabulous]]></body>
