How many of you have read this book, plan to read this book or proudly display it on your bookshelf? Thought so.
If you could see me right now, I’d be shaking my head. Because I just don’t get this book or the mini-empire it’s spawned. The first in the series, "What to Expect When You’re Expecting", has been on the New York Times...continue reading

Long before my life as a mother to two children became cemented by routine, I longed to take off on a grand adventure.
For years, I dreamed about traveling with my family for a year around the world. I schemed and saved, but somehow, there was always something in the way - a new job for my husband, a commitment to a new soccer team for...continue reading

I first heard about Kyran Pittman’s memoir, Planting Dandelions: Field Notes from a Semi-Domesticated Life, via Twitter. I followed all the links, excited that there was finally a new “momoir” on the shelves.
Publishers have long tired of the sub-genre and think there’s no market for it. But I think they’re totally wrong. There’s a huge...continue reading

If you love sharing books with girlfriends as much as I do, you’ll understand why I asked my friend Anne Marie Corrigan, to write this review. For me, this was one of those books that grabbed me right from the very first word and didn’t let go. I was devastated when it was over and I vow to read it many more times. It is, quite simply,...continue reading

I don’t know about you, but I’m an avid reader of book reviews. Whether it’s the New York Times or O magazine, I’m always reading summaries of new books, writing them down on post it notes and leaving them all over the house so I remember to reserve a copy at my local library. (I used to buy more books and I love supporting other writers...continue reading

How many times have you heard the phrase, how do you do it? All around us, it seems to be the question of the decade. I hear it from my mother, my best friend, my boss, strangers. But it’s an annoying question, isn’t it? Because this is what it implies: you have a totally crazy life and you’re always running around, frazzled, multi-...continue reading
If you're anything like us, you've always wanted to join a book club. It sounds great - a bunch of women gathering to discuss literature over a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine). But it just never seems to work out. Schedules conflict, calendars get too crazy and that book sits unread on your nightstand.
That's why we're so excited to introduce a new feature on the website - our Book Club for ModernMoms!
Each month, Cori Howard (founder of The Momoir Project) will review a book that deals with motherhood. We'll also include some articles on the book's themes, background - basically any...continue reading
