"Mommies' Priceless Moments" by Amanda Johnson is an endearing compilation of true stories about being a mom. Many of the stories shared cannot be fully appreciated until actually having a child and being able relate to the "oh crap" moments. But with that said, this book would also make an excellent baby shower gift for expecting parents...a little token of "what's to come." Hehehe.I am a mom of two little boys, and have had my share of humiliation, gross, exhaustion, awe and excitement when it comes to motherhood. Reading this book reminded me of all the moments I've experienced and how I've managed to get through and tough it out-my boys are ages six and three and they have surely given me some priceless moments (both the good and the ugly)!One of my favorite stories in the book was actually the first shared, entitled "Got Milk." I won't go into detail, but I am pretty sure all nursing moms, both past and present, will find themselves able to relate. *wink wink* When your baby is hungry, you gotta do what you gotta do...even if that means just "go with the flow" when the unexpected occurs!I love that the author shares her own personal experiences as well. It gives the book an extra special personal touch. Honesty, I think the idea of this book is genius. Pulling together "the best of the best" is a beautiful way to honor the club that is motherhood and to see the beauty in all the moments. "Mommies' Priceless Moments" reminds you that motherhood, although challenging at times, is very rewarding and cannot be replaced.
