Synopsis

ABC News reporter Genevieve Shaw Brown was hell-bent on raising her kids to like vegetables and eat more than chicken nuggets for dinner. She woke up at five a.m. every morning to prepare perfectly portioned meals of turkey meatballs along with veggies, couscous, mashed cauliflower, and sliced fruit for her small children.

Feeling sluggish and tired most of the time, she realized that she had never considered eating what she made for her kids. After that, Brown put herself on the "Baby Diet." She felt better, lost those stubborn pounds, and prepared a short segment on her new diet for Good Morning America that went viral.

What happens when you treat yourself the way you instinctively treat your children? From sleep training to exercising to making time for friends, Brown shares her own stories, expert advice, and innovative hacks to address the common issues mothers face while teaching women how to care for themselves with the same love and attention they give their children and families every day. The Happiest Mommy You Know is the life-changing and incredibly positive approach to the challenges of modern parenting—and gives parents permission to finally treat themselves better.

I couldn't get into this one. I was hoping for some practical advice on self-care as a mom, and found that 90% of the book was just anecdotes detailing the author's various fancy dinners, shopping excursions, vacations to exotic places, and the like. There were a few tips sprinkled in here and there......more

Goodreads review by Kari on March 20, 2017

Excellent read. The subtitle about not putting your kids first is at first a bit off-setting. But the real crux of the book is about self-care. We do so much to make sure our kids are taken care of and she's not advocating to stop. But why do we make sure our kids are eating the healthiest foods at......more

*I received a free copy of this book through Goodreads in exchange for an honest review* When I first received this book in the mail I thought to myself, "Pff, here's another book that is going to tell me not to feel the mommy guilt I feel on a daily basis when I prioritize myself". That's exactly wh......more
