How to be a Happier Mum & The Ideas Book

Still on the mother's day theme (Australian Mum's Day is Sunday 8 May 2011) we just received a review copy of a book called "How to be a Happier Mum!" (New Holland).

Now this sort of self-help book is probably not for everyone, but it does contain inspiring stories and strategies that can help parents, especially mums live a happier and more fulfilling life.

With chapters such as Mummy Overwhelm, Nutrition and Exercise, Work and Career, Yoga and Meditation and Wildflowers, the book covers areas of exercise, nutrition, relaxation, beauty, goal setting, cultivating happiness and relationships. Author Nicky Arthur is  also a workshop presenter, motivational speaker, yoga teacher and mother of two girls.

RRP $19.99 available at all major retailers and online at nickyarthur.com

Another bright idea for the house proud mum is "The Ideas Book" from designer and author of "Australia Vintage Living!",  Bronnie Masefau. 

Written to inspire and designed small enough to fit comfortably in to a woman's handbag, Masefau's The Ideas Book has handy interior design tips for all areas of the home from the kitchen and dining areas to bedrooms, bathrooms, lounge rooms and even laundry areas. Its more than just a book though, its a place to store ideas, with spare pages after each chapter for mum to scribble her thoughts. There's even an area to jot down the addresses of favourite shops and design outlets.

The Ideas Book is available online at Bronnie Masefau's website for $24.95 plus postage & handling!
