Review of RAMSHACKLE GLAM,The New Mom's Haphazard Guide to (Almost) Having It All, Jordan Reid

The title of the book RAMSHACKLE GLAM are opposite words, but they can work together as Jordan Reid shows us in her book trailer right here, watch and you'll probably relate to what she is talking about: 



As a mom and wife where do you find the time and energy to be you, you know, that you that was before the baby?  I found this book to be a good read for myself, as a not so new mom, and  I would recommend this book for any new mom, having been there myself. 

What do you do when you become a MOM? It's all so new, exciting, scary, fun, eventful, downsides, upsides, and how do you deal with all of that and still be you. We spend so much time taking care of our babies, that where do we find the time for ourselves? But you can have the your glam, and the toys all over the living room. 

In the book RAMSHACKLE GLAM, the author shares her story and advice on: 

  • motherhood 
  • priorities
  • tips on relationships,
  • fashion-like how to look and feel dazzling during and after pregnancy,  
  • home decor
  • entertaining
  • post-partum beauty 
  • meals
  • living with toys in your living room,
  • dogs and baby
  • taking the baby out for travel, meals
  • meeting other moms. 
  • She shares about the love a mom feels, that love you never knew existed until you have a baby
  • and many more good advice and tips throughout the book
