Mothers find joy, strength and humor in ‘Scrapbook of Motherhood Firsts’

Rockwall resident releases traditionally published book for moms

From a child’s first steps to the day grown children are sent off to college, motherhood is full of memories and milestones. Many of these memorable moments can be found in the heartwarming giftbook, A Scrapbook of Motherhood Firsts: Stories to Celebrate Wisdom and Bless Moms, which offers essays, helpful parenting tips, ideas for family fun days, and even delicious recipes to enjoy with the kids.

“A Scrapbook of Motherhood Firsts is a heartwarming, practical, and fun book for any mom looking for a quick respite in her day,” says Mary DeMuth, popular blogger and author of You Can Raise Courageous and Confident Kids.

A Scrapbook of Motherhood Firsts was released April 12, 2012 by Leafwood Publishers and will be available at all major booksellers.
