PRESS RELEASE

GIVE MOM THE GIFT OF SANITY THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

7 Books that Should be in Every Mother’s Stocking

AUGUSTA, Maine, Nov. 25, 2013 — Motherhood. It’s often painted in soft colors with lullabies serving as the background music. But as most people know, motherhood is anything but a rosy fairy tale filled with edible rainbows and opera-singing unicorns. Motherhood is a tough job! There are endless dirty diapers, countless skinned knees, and tantrums ranging from mild to those of epic proportions. So how does Mom keep it all together?

The truth is, sometimes, she doesn’t. There are moments when even the most seemingly invincible mother falls apart, often leaving her feeling isolated and alone. That’s why she deserves something very special this holiday season…the gift of sanity.

The books listed below make great stocking stuffers and can help mom feel connected, normal, and understood. Forget toothpaste, perfume, and wacky slipper-socks. All moms deserve the laughter, validation, and moments of “Me too” that these books provide.
