Being a new mom is a wonderful experience, and it's also an achievement that comes with a bunch of new responsibilities, rewards, and excitement. As exciting as it is to have your new baby in your arms, the thing most women miss after they give birth, and sometimes even during pregnancy, is their tiny figures. Giving birth is tough, but it always seems like getting the “baby weight” off of your figure is even tougher. Women all over the world read up on how to drop the weight that women naturally gain during those nine or ten months, and it's always so surprising to see how few women lose the weight they gained and actually keep it off. This doesn't mean that losing weight has to be too tough, though. The right exercises and practical measures can make it easy for you to shed the pounds.

Mattie J. T. Stepanek lived and died a child, but he had the spirit of a giant. Affected by a rare and fatal neuromuscular disease, Mattie lived almost fourteen years but in that time became a poet, best-selling author, peace activist, and a prominent voice for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Before his death in June 2004, his five volumes of Heartsongs poetry sold more than a million copies. Reflections of a Peacemaker: A Portrait Through Heartsongs is the final collection of Heartsongs that Mattie was working on when he died. It includes the last poem Mattie penned along with a special collection of unpublished poetry, photographs, and artwork spanning the decade from when he began writing Heartsongs at age three. Culled from the thousands of poems, essays, and journal entries Mattie left behind, the entries in Reflections of a Peacemaker create a portrait of Mattie in his own words. In these poems he explores disability, despair, and death but also the gifts he finds in nature, prayer, peace, and his belief in something "bigger and better than the here and now." The poems are grouped by theme such as playful, stormy, sacred, and final Heartsongs, with each section introduced by a personal tribute from the likes of Maya Angelou, Oprah Winfrey, Larry King, and former President Jimmy Carter. In the words of Mattie's mother, Jeni Stepanek, who has published Reflections of a Peacemaker at her son's request, "In reading these poems we enter Mattie's world and gain insight through a child who somehow balanced pain and fear with optimism and faith."

Happy Mommy Happy Baby is a short book about the importance of creating a routine for you and your baby while keeping in mind that there are certain needs that are first and foremost, essential to raising a baby and toddler, such as eating, sleeping and hygiene. Elizabeth forces mothers and fathers to take a look at the fact that a baby coming into their world is doing exactly that, coming into their world. It is up to them to decide what their babys needs are while still being able to focus on their own needs, each other and the needs of other children and responsibilities they may have. No matter if you are a stay at home mother or a part-time working mother or a full time working mother, the way in which your baby is cared for and what kind a routine he or she may need is up to you. No two mothers and fathers have the same lifestyle but the importance of creating a routine and sticking to it is imperative to create a sense of security for your baby and make things easier for you.
