This book was written in 2002 so it's pretty dated as far as technology goes and the world we live in now. A lot has happened in 15 years! But I did like many of the ideas for the mother/daughter bond.

Great reminders about what is important during the time your kids are at home.

You can take some of the Christian-culture things with a grain of salt. The thing I really loved is that one page will have facts about eating disorders and then the next page will have a box filled with classic mom-daughter movie choices. It is exactly that sort of thing that will inspire a mom to have good quality interactions with her daughter. A quote from the book =

"You will probably be surprised one day when you ask your daughter what she remembers most about your times together. Most often it isn't the grand, planned, mother-daughter occasions - but the small kindnesses, the little notes on her pillow or in her lunch box, the "folding laundry and watching a video" times of coziness and warmth and fun." - p.20

Cute and practical.

This book had a lot of great ideas for creating a quality relationship with your daughter. Some of the ideas I can't use until she gets a little older!
