Emily Watts

In some ways this book is brilliant, unfortunatly some of the iread visited here, and indeed some of the actual stories are also in another book by the same author. while I do realise that one person can only experience so much this did diappoint me.
but as with her other book the title is just so brilliant I had to have it.
one day someone will actually give me just this advice

I dont like self help books, but although it is subtitled "a fitness program for the soul" i did not find this too much like a work book.
Each chaper covers a problem tht we all face, and yes I could relate to every one. this was done in a humerous way which had me reading portions outloud.
Even if you have no intention of doing any of the suggested exercises, one at the end of each chapter, this is well worth the read

I like this book
The tone of this book is exactly where I think it should be, it is not quite a humor book but it certainly has a humerous tone to what is a serious subject.
Do I have a balanced life?
The answer to this is no and I have tried many of the way described by the author.
Does this book sole my problems?
The answer to this is also no. but at least I no longer feel bad about it.

I really enjoyed this book. Mrs. Watts takes a down-to-earth, practical approach to both the challenges and the joys of mothering. I finished this book with a sense of optimism towards my own job of "being the mom" and a resolve to enjoy it more, without all the guilt. I think I'm going to send some copies to moms I know!
