A nurturing, uplifting take on contemporary motherhood
21 Mar 2006
Format:Hardcover
This book made me want to get up and dance.
Organically tapping into our own creativity is what Hot Moms are all about. Forget the Mommy Wars, the stereotypes and the cultural dissonance which disempowers our vision. The Hot Mom's Handbook uplifts our maternal spirits, raises us above burned dinners and household chores to our higher selves, the people we've always been but have forgotten amidst the dirty laundry and mile-long list of commitments.
The book is divided into eight chapters with reflective questions, commitments and pages for journal-like entries at the end of each. It is reminiscent of Sarah Ban Breathnach's "Gratitude" journals, but the "Hot Mom's Handbook" has a tighter focus. It's all about moms and how we can live more powerful lives.
My favorite line was from Chapter Six, "Every Mom has an Inner Siren": "Think you don't have an `inner siren'? Every woman has one. She may be buried behind those clothes you just sniffed and pulled from the hamper, but I promise, she's in there, and it's time to let her loose!"
This book shares testimonials from astounding women whose insight into contemporary motherhood will leave you with a warm feeling. At times I laughed out loud. What a relief! I'm allowed time away from the kids - guilt-free. It sounds simple, and it is. But you wouldn't believe how much we mothers need to hear it to truly believe it. This book assures us moms that we are on the right path to reclaiming our rights as individuals. After all, moms are the most creative people around. We create life. Thankfully, we have Hot Moms to remind us we create ourselves, and our attitudes, too.

Disappointed
18 Aug 2006
Format:Hardcover
I was excited to get this book, since I am a stay-at-home mother of three. I believe that it's important to take care of yourself and feel confident in your decision to be a mother. This book didn't really give much advice. It skimmed the surface with suggestions about dressing cute, exercising, taking time for yourself...things I've heard a thousand times before. I like to hear real life tips on how other mom's do these things and more. I thought the book was a rip-off with no real content. A much better book, if you stay at home with your kids is Happy Housewives by Darla Shine.

written for the truly unispired
7 Aug 2006
Format:Hardcover
I can't believe I read the same book as all of these other people. Here's what I want to know. How long did it take Ms. Denay to write this garbage? Between all the pages of quotes and insets on every page oh, and don't forget the the sixteen pages in the back where the "quoter" is bio-ed, she barely wrote a 10th grade level essay. I'm a mother of 5 kids, the oldest 14 and I never needed anyone to tell me not to wear sweatpants and maybe comb my hair once in while if I want my husband to still find me attractive. No kidding Ms. Denay, I should make time for my husband AND my kids? Gee, I never thought of that one. How profound. I would also hope every mom out there doesn't need to be told to "dance" with their kid once in while and I don't mean just to music. Celebrating your children should come naturally or you've got bigger problems than Ms. Denay's handbook is gonna be able to solve.
I thought I was going to read something smart and edgy. Boy, was I disappointed. you have to be the most pathetic mom in the world to be inspired by this book!
Want to be a "hot mom" save the purchase price of the book and order some pizza for your family. Oh, and don't forget to wipe the schmutz off of your face and look presentable. It's amazing how much I learned from this book.
In conclusion, tell me somthin' I don't already know!
