Where’s the Me in Momeeee? Mealtime, play dates, laundry, errands and housework — the list is endless. In the middle of everything moms have to do and everyone they have to care for, it’s easy to lose track of a very important person — themselves.

In her book Mom Management: Managing Mom Before Everybody Else, real-life mom Tracy Lyn Moland challenges women to become better mothers by taking care of themselves. In other words, manage mom first.

Bringing organizational skills to the role of parenting, Tracy, an internationally recognized author, speaker and consultant, offers practical tips for active women trying to juggle all their responsibilities. She helps even the busiest Mommies create a life map to rediscover personal dreams and aspirations. She also gives suggestions to help accomplish those goals while enjoying the role of motherhood.

Her easy-to-read chapters include hands-on exercises intended to define the things you want to become in life along with practical suggestions for breaking goals into manageable mouthfuls. She defines the difference between doing and being and encourages women to develop into the best kind of mom
they can be.

Whether you take the time to read this book all at once or slowly savor each chapter, Mom Management opens your eyes to new ways to succeed in the very important role of motherhood — without losing yourself along the way.
