Everything You Never Wanted Your Kids to Know About Sex, but Were Afraid They'd Ask: The Secrets to Surviving Your Child's Sexual Development from Birth to the
Teens by Justin Richardson, M.D. & Mark Schuster, M.D.
This is no lightweight book - 419 pages - all of which will probably make
you cringe just considering talking to your child about. But, this
book will be there for you for years. For the fact is, as
savvy as we think we are, we may find a thing or two to learn about
today's youth and sex. This is the perfect guide for those parents
who want to strike a balance between being too open (and possibly
appearing to condone the activity), and locking your daughter in the
closet.

Miserly Moms: Living on One Income in a Two-Income
Economy by Jonni McCoy
Jonni McCoy once lived
in the San Francisco Bay area, working as a Senior Buyer for firms such as
Apple Computer. Considering she lived in one of the most expensive
areas of the country, and made a very good living, the thought of quitting
her job after the birth of her child seemed out of the question. But
Jonni made it work, and this book shows you how. She has a great
section for working moms as well, teaching you how to stretch that
dollar. Ready to give up your lattes? This is the book for
you.

The Diaper Diaries: The Real Poop on a New Mom's First Year by Cynthia L. Copeland
Did we need another humorous guide on new motherhood? After reading this
book, you'll agree with a resounding yes. This book is just simply
hysterical. I can't think of a better stress relief during those
first few sleepless sanity-raving months of a baby's life than this
book. Copeland even provides a valuable service by saving new moms
loads of money by creating a nifty paraphernalia chart with "instead
of buying" and "just use" columns. For instance,
instead of buying a ridiculously expensive overpriced play station, just
use an empty box. Expensive toys guaranteed to provide hours of
enjoyment? Rolls of toilet paper. Any new mom will love this book,
and pass it on.

This is a sweet tale that will touch the hearts of mothers and daughters.
It is a fable about two oak trees – one the mother, the other the
daughter. The mother tree is
delighted to have sprouted a daughter tree.
But as a typical mother, she frets that if she is not always able to
make things right, she might somehow lose her daughter.
But the daughter is able to reassure her mother by showing her that
differences and difficult situations help make her stronger.
She has blossomed into a unique and beautiful tree.
And, yes, she will always be her mother’s daughter.
