"Do You Feel Isolated as a Mom?" You've heard, "No man is an island," but did you know that, "No mom is an island," either? Through twelve years of parenting, Cathy Spigarelli has learned moms need other moms, for advice, reassurance, suggestions, and camaraderie. In her book, "Life as a Mommy," moms find just such support. Every day for a year, Cathy wrote about life with her three, young children. The 365 compact entries have a girlfriend-to-girlfriend, conversational tone and can be read in minutes, without guilt. "Life as a Mommy" provides a window into the daily life of a mom, revealing her triumphs and struggles, her joy and laughter, and her dilemmas and concerns. The book gently advises, provides insights, and offers suggestions to fellow moms. You will laugh, you will cry, and you will wonder, as Cathy does, about this incredibly difficult, incredibly joyous thing called motherhood. Cathy Spigarelli didn't start out dreaming of being a mommy. Instead, she began a career as an engineer. She married and then completed a master's degree. With a brand new degree and a brand new baby, Cathy found herself at a turning point. Setting aside career ambitions, she became a full-time mommy. For twelve years, Cathy has been a stay-at-home mom. Every day for an entire year, she captured her thoughts, feelings, and concerns about daily life as a mom. She wrote while locked in the bathroom, at stoplights, and in the preschool parking lot. She lives with her husband (who wonders why he isn't mentioned in the book more often) and her three lively children (who wonder why mommy writes about them) in Indianapolis, Indiana. In this book, you will find that, as a mom, you do not walk alone. We journey through motherhood together. Won't you join me?

Full of research-based tips and real-world wisdom, this book is a guide for mothers on how to thrive as they transition to their empty nest years. Thirty million mothers between 40 and 60 years old are about to face childless households for the first time in decades. For some women, it is a lonely and confusing time; but for the vast majority, it's a journey of joy and discovery. Through intensive and wide-ranging original research, author Carin Rubenstein reveals how and why some mothers thrive and others do not. She breaks the post-motherhood launch down into three stages--grief, relief, and joy. If a woman makes it through to the final stage, friendships blossom, work thrives, and she develops a renewed sense of confidence and well-being. While in many instances, increased time together hastens the end of a struggling marriage, most women discover their relationships improve when children leave. Beyond the Mommy Years offers fascinating research, helpful advice, and amusing anecdotes to the millions facing this uncertain but potentially enriching stage of life. "An encouraging counterarguement to the idea that an empty nest leads to an empty life." -- Library Journal "Carin Rubenstein, PhD., nails it: Any woman worried about her post-car pool life should read this book." -- Sally Koslow, mother of two sons in their twenties, and author of Little Pink Slips "Beyond the Mommy Years bridges the knowledge void felt by so many moms after their children leave for college...A thoughtful discussion of the positive changes that lie ahead for mothers after our children are launched. While parenting never ends, this book provides moms with the tools to live a rich and full life." -- Linda Perlman Gordon & Susan Morris Shaffer, co-authors of Mom, Can I Move Back in with You?

“Elizabeth Isadora Gold writes vividly and humorously about the trials and trip-outs of new-motherhood.” —The New Yorker “If you only read one parenting book this year, make it The Mommy Group...This book is incisive, insightful, and downright delightful. I did not mean for that to rhyme” —Adam Mansbach, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Go the F*ck to Sleep In 2010, seven women met in Brooklyn, New York, to form a Mommy Group. Over coffee, croissants, wine, and the occasional baby carrot, they commiserated about typical new-mother issues: difficult births, babies who slept in ten-minute increments, and breast pumps that talked back in the middle of the night. And then things got complicated. Elizabeth and Melissa suffered from postpartum depression and anxiety. Jane’s daughter was diagnosed with developmental delays. Anna’s husband left her when their baby was two weeks old. Through it all, the Mommy Group laughed, supported, and learned lessons from one another that the myriad “experts” hadn’t delivered. The journalist of the bunch—author Elizabeth Isadora Gold—reached out to other Mommy Groups around the country and found that similar bonds were forming far beyond brownstone Brooklyn. In fact, mothers across all class, geographic, and racial boundaries appear to be searching for the same thing: a way to be strong, loving, engaged parents “while retaining—or remaking—our Selves.” A witty, relatable, and honest look at the realities of parenthood today, The Mommy Group is a companion that will help any mom feel understood and empowered, and keep her laughing all the way.
