The MomsTown Guide to Getting It All
A Life Makeover for Stay-at-Home Moms

by Mary Goulet and Heather Reider



      Are you a fan of reality makeover shows? In The MomsTown Guide to Getting it All, authors Mary Goulet and Heather Reider lay out a fun and fabulous life makeover for stay-at-home moms (SAHMs). If you are a SAHM, you know the joys of sharing your life with your children. Unfortunately, you also know the frustrations and limitations of curtailing your wants, needs, or dreams. The MomsTown Guide to Getting It All commends SAHMs and leads them to rediscover their dreams, hobbies, identity, and career.

Do you miss your career or mourn your pre-children days? This GAL (Getting it All) makeover leads you through ten weeks of fun and systematic goal setting. Each chapter cover topics like organization, fitness, health, dreams, and work from home. One week is choosing three passions or areas of interest. The next assignment builds to a single passion that you focus on through a class, book, or a club. Another week centers on fitness. Some moms neglect their health as their time and energy completely centers on the children. Goulet and Reider remind moms that their health should be a priority. If a woman feels well, she'll be able to do a better job of taking care of her family. Do you have balance between your roles as woman, wife, and mother? Is your identity solely wrapped in being a stay-at-home mom?

The MomsTown Guide To Getting it All can help you find your identity, balance, and passion. Work-at-home moms and authors Goulet and Reider show that moms can makeover their life to a place that enhances the family and their needs. I highly recommend The MomsTown Guide to Getting It All for moms whose days now consist of baby spit-up, sibling rivalry, and carpools.
