Amazon Mommy Magic In this insightful and activity filled book, Adria Manary offers ways to keep children happy and occupied through loving and productive activities that will be remembered for a lifetime. Through hundreds of interviews with other moms, along with her own experience in rearing three children, she has created a quick, easy to read compendium of ideas designed to help mothers in their quest to make the world a brighter place for their children. Reinforced by moving stories and touching poetry, this book offers the resources, support and encouragement that every mother needs. Excerpt When a child is born, God sprinkles a little magic into the heart of the mother. The challenge is keeping that magic alive on a day to day basis! Every child is born with a loving and joyful soul. It is up to us as parents to nurture it and protect it so that it may blossom and leave flowers along the path of their lifetime. One of my favorite games to play with my children is "Positive Roundtable" - where the family sits in a circle, and takes turns saying something positive about every other member of the family. Serving popsicles in the bathtub is fun for the kids and less mess for mom!

WomanLinks Review
"Mommy Magic" celebrates the magic bond between a mother and her children. Through poetry, quotations, real-life stories, and activities, Ms. Manary has created an inspiring guide to Positive Mothering. It is the kind of "Owner's Manual" that I wish had accompanied my children's birth! "Mommy Magic" is well written, full of useful suggestions, touching stories, and inspiring quotes. What made this book a gem to read was its basis in reality. Many parenting books use scientific studies as their core. "Mommy Magic", on the other hand, is based upon real-life experiences of mothers. Whether you're a seasoned pro, a new mother or mother-to-be, "Mommy Magic" will be a welcome, and much used, addition to your parenting library.

Family Therapist
"As a family therapist, I see a need for parents to practice "Preventative Maintenance" in their parenting. 'Mommy Magic' demonstrates the value of bonding with children through a variety of methods which impact the mental and emotional health of children in an enduring, positive manner. If parents would take the time to use even a few of these suggestions, it would help keep them from needing the kind of family counseling services that I provide. It is refreshing to read a book that stresses the joy and fulfillment of mommying."

Kristi Miller, Host of the Good Morning Central Oregon TV show
"Mommy Magic is a blessing and an inspiration as well as a wealth of fun ideas. I was moved by the touching stories about the true magic that happens when you become a mom!
