Description:
Kathy Ireland communicates with moms every day: online, at the grocery store, at church, at speaking engagements, and on her company website. She is grateful that her conversations don't center around beauty tips or requests for autographs or advice on how to dress. Rather, she has the honor of hearing from real women who struggle with balancing the responsibilities of marriage, raising children, managing a household or career or both, and finding any time left to take care of themselves.As the involved mom of three very active children, the supportive wife of an emergency room doctor, and a dynamic businesswoman, Kathy knows of these struggles firsthand. She credits her strong faith in God and her parents' love and support for any success she has today and dedicates her days to finding the solutions that can make life easier for busy moms in all phases of life. As she tackles the tough financial concerns families feel today and many other issues, Kathy offers empathy and encouragement. She shares stories from her own life and wisdom she has gained through her years from teenager with a paper route to successful supermodel to mom to entrepreneur with a dream for big business big business which was realized by building what Forbes now calls the "Billion Dollar Brand."
My Review
I have always liked Kathy Ireland and was excited to read her book, Real Solutions for Busy Moms. I found it to be full of priceless treasures to be shared with women of all ages from all walks of life. Single young women wanting to have a family of their own someday, Mothers and Grandmothers will be inspired with new insights to apply to their own unique experiences.
The book begins with "Money Matters" and I must say not only was I delighted with the subject matter but it became one of my favorite chapters. I had often heard it said that one should get in the habit of saving money and paying yourself $10.00 per day. Kathy explains three reasons for chasing after prosperity illusions and adds some good advice on learning to sacrifice, saving your money and giving excellent affirmation to the reader that you're the mistress and your money is the servant. Kathy's idea of evaluating each potential purchase based on need rather than a feeling of entitlement is sound advice for sure!
All seven chapters of Kathy's book complement and build upon one another to make a great fort, if you will, or a firm foundation of blueprint plans and a guide to keeping your sanity. Each chapter includes a discussion section, a series of questions with answers to give you solutions that you need. Kathy shares from the heart her life's experiences on what works for her and is willing to share the nuts and bolts in her tool kit in finding practical solutions that can make life easier in our busy world. Did I mention Kathy shares recipes with us? You'll definitely want to read this great book... I loved it!
