Come forth you Stay-At-Home Moms - A Reading and A Giveaway!
****** Edited to add: Sorry, the giveaway ended on November 28th.********
Some of you may remember me mentioning a book I truly loved and reviewed on Mama Speaks last month. Melissa Stanton’s “The Stay At Home Survival Guide” has been pivotal for me in the way I view my role as a stay-at-home mom in my own family and in my society.
So imagine how thrilled I was to find out that she will be reading from her book at a local Borders next Saturday, November 29th, from 11:00am to 1:00pm! I can’t wait to go and meet her and other moms who have enjoyed this wonderfully supportive and practical book. If you’re in the area, I urge you to head out for this - I’d love to meet you and this will be a great get together.
AND, for those of you who can’t make it or aren’t local (and even for those of you going), please allow me to host a giveaway! For you I have a copy of this great book, “The Stay-At-Home Survival Guide,” and it will be signed and personalized by Melissa Stanton, the author, next Saturday.
To enter, please leave a comment here with the name of one chapter from the book (hint: I mention several in the review). Be sure to include your email address in the field as I will need to contact you in order to make sure we get your name right on your personalized copy of the book. Please enter by Friday, November 28th at 8:00pm EST, when I will do a random drawing and contact the winner via email.
For additional entries you can do any or all of the following - you’ll get one additional entry for each, but PLEASE let me know in an additional comment that you have done so:
1) Blog about the giveaway on your own blog. Please link back to this giveaway post.
2) Twitter it. Ya’ll know I don’t Twitter, but I’m sure that won’t stop you gals. Twitter away. Send those other twitterers on over. Do whatever it is you twittering people do.
3) Blog about the book reading/the event at Borders. I’d love to see as many people there as possible. Again, if you blog it, please link back here to this post.
4) I can’t think of anything else, but if you do, go for it, and then let me know:)
I would love to win! One of the chapters is called The Best of Times, The Worst of Times
Thanks Beth
I don’t just hope to win this . I need this book. Ugh I guess I am hitting a SAHM rough patch. Here is one of the chapter titles …
Chapter four , “Jack(ie) of All Trades. Now to blog about it and twitter it too.
Sounds great. I could use the section on “Money Matters” since my full-time job now is saving money!I have loved being back home but there are financial drawbacks. I would really enjoy seeing what Melissa has written.
Thanks for doing the giveaway and have a great Thanksgiving!
The Best of Times, the worst of times…
Count me in! I always love a good mom book.
fun! i love a giveaway! and this chapter sounds. . . intriguing: Sex and the Stressed-Out Stay-at-Home Mom.
One chapter is called ‘Sex and the Stressed out Stay at Home Mom’, and that’s all I have to say about that….

How about the chapter called “Sex and the Stressed-Out Stay-at-Home Mom” that is totally me right now!
I won’t say much more but I mean come on!
one of the chapters, as i read on your review, is “jack(ie) of all trades.” i’m a sahm, and sometimes i feel like i’m going crazy. this book would really be great, especially since i’m expecting a new baby in january and know that my life is about to get upturned again!
i also blogged about this giveaway!

sounds like a good book…chapter 8 is called Sex and the Stressed-Out Stay-at-Home Mom.
Money Matters makes most sense for me since I have to stay at home and stretch out the dollar as much as possible!
I could really use this– I am a stay at home mom of 4 (7,5,3,1). Great giveaway! We are really struggling to get beyond living paycheck to paycheck and we want to pay off our debt. So, “Money Matters” caught my attention. Thanks for the chance to win!
The best of times, the worst of times. Sounds like a great book. Thanks for the giveaway!
I was immediately interested in “The Best of Times, The Worst of Times.”

Any tips for survival are appreciated.
“Sex and the Stressed Out SAHM” is a chapter I certainly could handle reading.

The best of times, the worst of times. Sounds like a great read, count me in!
“The Best of Times, The Worst of Times” about sums it up for me! I would have LOVED to gone to meet the author, but I’m ’stuck’ at home with two kids and a house full of people on their way over for Thanksgiving Dinner #2.
The Best of Times, The Worst of Times.
This book seems wonderful. If I don’t win this I may have to buy it!
Thank you
