The book, The MomsTown Guide to Getting it All, A Life Makeover for Stay-at-Home Moms, details the revolution taking place in preschool parking lots across the country. Statistics show women are postponing pregnancy and having children later in life. They are educated, hip, and savvy women accustomed to chasing their dreams. They don’t want to stop chasing their dreams when they start changing diapers. MomsTown supports each woman in the pursuit of her potential. Mary and Heather truly believe women can stay home and raise their children, run a business (or an empire), be fabulously hip and fit, enjoy great relationships with their husbands and have fun.

Reader Reviews:

The MomsTown Guide to Getting It All is a must-read for any stay-at-home mom. There were no directions on how to “have it all” in terms of being a wife, mother, and businesswoman – that is, until this book came along! --- Lis Druxman, Chief Founding Mother of StrollerStrides.com

A sensational how-to expertly marketed that delves into the challenges facing stay-at-home moms trying to sew motherhood, personal enrichment, and professional success into their life quilt. Goulet and Reider dually succeed in identifying and providing solutions to the time challenges moms encounter by providing real-world organizational solutions to mothers in a step-by-step process culminating in just 10 weeks. The Momstown Guide to Getting it All in-and-of itself shows just how entrepreneurial mothers can lead an integrated life of financial and societal success. Bravo! --- Bajadiver, Boston MA

Thank you for writing The MomsTown Guide to Getting It All! Your book has given me a sense of empowerment…I have a 17 month old daughter I stay home with. Thanks for helping me get my life back. Each time I read the book I find more gems…thank you for helping me be a better wife, mother, and G.A.L.! --- Lucy, Texas

I received the book about 2 weeks ago. And I love it! It's everything any mom
needs all in one book and in a fashion that is easy to understand. I feel like
I'm talking about a movie... I laughed, cried, and turned red a few times.....
but best of all I found answers. I can see that even though I thought I was in
the Goddess role and had lost her.....

I'd recommended this book to every mom. Even Single mom's like me. This book is
the booster shot I needed to make the changes I wanted but feared....

I also see how even more enriching head the chapter of MomsTown will be for all
involved and for me as well. It will go beyond my dreams.

And yes I did read it all. I wanted to make sure I was prepared for our first
group meeting.

Thanks for writing the book. I 've read lots of books for mom's, parenting, and
women business, and this is "IT". This book speaks to me on a personal level.
I'm know it will speak to every mom that way.

Makeover is a magical word for us stay-at-home Moms!! Thank you to Momstown for writing this book and inspiring a true 'after life' ... (after baby that is!!) and showing us how to become even more than we ever thought we could be. A truly great read ... I couldn't put it down! --- K. Kalata "duchess-kyrias-boutique.com"

You gals really do "GET IT"....all I can do is say THANK YOU! I waited until my late 30's to have my children ...thinking by then I would have climbed the corporate mountain and would leave without looking back - and - I do feel blessed to stay at home with my children ...BUT...I felt a little lost - with no "360 feedback" and no "formal training" - I felt like I conformed (to what I thought) a Stay-at-home-Mom's was supposed to be...and it wasn't working for me! I lost myself completely!

Seriously, your book truly set me free - by the first week I felt so much better - implementing your tips! And by the 5th week ...Watch out - I was Baaaacccckkk!

I had been told over and over: "If Mama Ain't Happy - Ain't Nobody Happy" and not until reading your book, did I see how true that was!
Now I begging you to write more - ALL Mom's can benefit from your honest, humorous and spot on advice! LOVE IT! --- D. Walsh

Mary and Heather have hit a home run with this book, on how women can be better moms, spouses, friends, and entrepreneurs. While I am not their target reader, I do believe their advice and counsel is credible, and their energy and enthusiasm for their business and helping others succeed in business is street smart, practical, and applicable for those who really want to take a product or service to the marketplace. If you are in a rut, or have an idea you want to see to fruition, then get this book immediately, and make it your desktop or bedside bible. Refer to it often. You'll be glad you did as you watch your dreams come to life in a way you could not imagine. And if you ever get a chance to meet them or hear Mary and Heather speak, you will be better for it. They have a special fire in their hearts, and want you to be a part of the revolution. They're pretty cool! --- Mark LeBlanc "Small Business Success" , La Jolla, CA
