Style AND Substance: The Yummy Mummy Manifesto

The first thing that I noticed when I received a copy of THE YUMMY MUMMY MANIFESTO by Anna Johnson was the beautiful illustrations. (I love "pretty", stylish books.)

I'm not a big fan of mom labels (like "yummy mummy") but I'm glad that the title didn't stop me from reading the book.  It was great to see that in addition to being "cute", it had some really great information in it for new and expecting moms.  The book covers a variety of topics from when moms are expecting to the toddler years.  Fashion, exercise & nutrition, sex, breastfeeding and shopping for kids are some of the topics covered. 

My favorite section is called "TWENTY SELFISH LITTLE PLEASURES".  Number 20 - "ten minutes a day"... is my personal mantra (more so 15 to 20 minutes!).  Moms need (at least) that amount of time a day for themselves in order not to self-destruct!

In any event, this book would make a great gift for an expecting or new mom.
