Great Book and Movie Trailer

Okay, besides the Twilight series and the occasional Harlequinn Romance novel, i dont find much time to read anymore. But every once in a while i pick up this parenting book ive been reading off and on for several months now.
Its called 'The Power of a Positive Mom' by Karol Ladd (a former Illinois resident, also.) How often i pick the book up to read it is no testament as to how much i enjoy it. I always feel uplifted and motivated after just reading a few pages of this book.

If you are a mother, i strongly encourage you to read this book! Just the first Chapter alone, when Ladd talks about the myths in modern society about being a mother goes into detail about the true worth of a mom. She tells about how nowadays many women feel embarassed when asked about their occupation and they say 'mother' or 'stay at home mom,' like its a bad thing! Being a mom, everyday we make a difference in the lives of our children. This is the BEST, most praise-worthy job i can imagine. Of all the jobs i have ever had, i am MOST proud of being mom.
In other news, I liked the "New Moon" clip they showed on the MTV Movie Awards last night.

I didnt love it, beacuase (1)they didnt show enough sadness on bellas part and that was probably because (2) it wasnt long enough. (3) they showed no part of the relationship with jacob or (4) the make-your-heart burst reunion in Italy.

I mean, i really needed MUCH more!! Clink on the picture to watch the trailer and see for yourself.
