Couldn't make it through the first chapter of this one. I agree with the sentiment, but the delivery was boring and too chatty. Also, I do kind of disagree with the idea of taking care of yourself so you'll be a better mom - not that you shouldn't take care of yourself, nor that we shouldn't all strive to be better parents! But moms should take care of ourselves because we are human beings and we deserve to be happy and healthy. Period.

The Happiest Mommy You Know by Genevieve Shaw Brown is a book about motherhood and putting yourself before your kids.

I'm going to start by saying that I nearly hated this book. It didn't resonate with me at all. There were a few parts that I agreed with as far as feeding the family healthy foods and getting exercise, but the majority of it was the author talking about taking exotic trips and vacations, having nights out with college friends, clothes shopping, and scheduling. I'm not a schedule freak and if I had to live like that I would be gone from a stress induced death.



Putting my kids first has always made me happy and I'm just not the type of mom that won't breastfeed my babies because I want sleep instead. I've never programmed a baby to sleep for 12 hours and I don't want to. I think the author is missing a key fact-what's good for one person isn't necessarily good for another.

I think this would be a good book for SOME moms. I don't think the book is horrible as it did contain some health advice. I don't want to be negative about the book, but it just didn't work for me. It may be good for others.

Btw, I'm keeping my leggings and yoga pants...
