"... the path to a happy family begins with a happy mother."
Lori Radun wrote The Momnificent Life: Healthy and Balanced Living for Busy Moms specifically for Mom's like me who are struggling with where we fit in the overall scheme of our lives and are left feeling many days like we have nothing left to give. The book provides detail advice on how to deal with balancing the many items that seem to be on many mom's plates. Juggling being a mom with work, home, spouses, friendships, fiances, and more is all discussed in detail within the book.
This was actually a great book for me to read right now as I currently feel like I am being pulled in a million different directions. I am pulled in one direction by Bo and trying to fulfill his needs. I am pulled in another direction by the twins and this pregnancy. Yet another direction by my mom. And another direction by Mike. And by the move. And by my job. And by my friends. And well... you get the idea. I have too many irons in the fire right now and too many people and things that require my attention - let along trying to find time for "me" in the midst of all of this. It's a difficult line to walk -- more or less balance.
While I won't say that Radun solved all of my problems (impossible at this point!), she did provide me with a great deal of insight and many coping techniques that I plan to use as I try to shuffle (maybe waddle is a better word??) and survive my way through the next few weeks.
I am giving away one copy of The Momnificent Life: Healthy and Balanced Living for Busy Moms to one lucky Sticky Feet reader. All you need to do is leave a comment on this post telling me why you need this book!

Good on everything. I'm a frequent reader to the How Do You Do It website and followed you from there to this site. My twins will be 3 in October (through IVF) and I have an older daughter (by 15 months). Get ready... your life will be crazy for awhile after the twins come. I highly recommend blogging so as not to forget the craziness.
I would love to win the book ... but I'm not sure how to leave my email address ...
Meant to say
"Good Luck on everything"
Hmm.... I have 3 little ones (5, 3, 2) and one on the way (due in Novemere).... does that qualify as needy? *grin*

Balance is really something I need. I don't do very well with making sure I take care of me and with everyone else in my family, ages 5 to 21, it gets a little crazy here.
