Unlike the days when a woman's mother, grandmother, or aunt supported her parenting
endeavors, many moms today find themselves alone. This was Cathy Spigarelli's situation. She
struggled to raise three children far from any female relative in a city where she knew no one.
Add to that a husband who worked long hours and the overwhelming demands of living in today's
society and it is no wonder that she felt isolated and unsupported. Unfortunately, Ms. Spigarelli
is not an exception. Many mothers today can relate to her predicament. Where can these moms
get the support they so desperately need? From their fellow moms! In the book, Life as a
Mommy, moms will find just such support from author, Cathy Spigarelli.
Conversations with playgroup moms inspired the writing of Life as a Mommy. The stories,
thoughts, and feelings detailed in each entry were all topics of discussion with fellow, playgroup
moms. As a result, mom readers will feel as though they are a part of Ms. Spigarelli's playgroup.
Readers will be reassured that their feelings and experiences are normal and that the problems
and concerns they have are shared by all moms. Moms will see themselves in this book.
Life as a Mommy:
* Encourages fellow moms
* Suggests ways that moms can help one another
* Offers mom-to-mom advice
* Provides parenting insight
* Ponders life as a mom
* Celebrates the motherhood journey
Each and every day for an entire year, Ms. Spigarelli wrote about daily life with her three, young
children, ages 2, 4, and 6, revealing her triumphs and struggles, her joy and laughter, and her
dilemmas and concerns about motherhood. The 365 compact entries have a
girlfriend-to-girlfriend, conversational tone and end with a take-home message--an insight, advice,
or something for fellow moms to ponder. Life as a Mommy fills the void in support faced by so
many moms today.
Through twelve years of parenting, Cathy Spigarelli has learned moms need other moms for
advice, reassurance, suggestions, and camaraderie. Through her years of motherhood, she has
sought support by reading countless parenting books, participating in parenting classes, and
banding together a group of fellow moms to form a playgroup in her neighborhood. Ms. Spigarelli
does not claim to be a parenting "expert"... just a mom with the believe that "moms need the
support of their fellow moms."
