As a mother of two daughters, one who is currently in her difficult teenage years, when I saw this book I knew it was something I wanted to read. Honestly, this book should be required reading for anyone who has daughters – they should put a copy of it in your gift bag at the hospital upon birth of said daughter (there’s a second book for mother’s of boys as well).Let’s face it – when you bring home that little bundle of sweetness wrapped up in a pink blanket, you think it’s going to be easy. Boys are the hard ones – those rambunctious tornados who can’t sit still for a moment. The truth is, girls can be just as difficult as boys are but on a totally different level. Boys are difficult because of their curiosity and adventurism; girls are difficult because of their need for social interaction and because of their emotions.Cheri Fuller does a great job of providing insight into the mother/daughter relationship as well as walking the reader step by step through the many perils of raising a daughter. She also pinpoints the many ways we as mother's fail our daughters. As she does so, she weaves in humor and stories of her own mistakes and situations in raising her own daughter as well as those of other families. She points out how things are much different now then when many of us were young girls and what mothers really need to be aware of in this jungle of the technological age.The book is divided up into 14 points of interest as to what we need to be for our daughters. Each of these points are covered in entirety in its own chapter, which makes a great place to go if you bought this book to pinpoint one particular are to work on..

“It will be gone before you know it. The fingerprints on the wall appear higher and higher. Then suddenly they disappear.”-Dorothy EvslinThis review will be a little different from the others, seeing as Mother’s Day is today. What a Girl Needs from Her Mom touches on many different subjects, and it can also be read for mother’s of sons as well, but they have a book for that too, What a Son Needs from His Mom. The most recurring theme that stood out was how we’re spending time with our children. Mother’s Day is about celebrating moms and why we cherish them. They’ve birthed us, fed us, nurtured us, and raised us into decent human beings but, let’s think about everyday motherhood. I’m writing this to challenge mother’s to be present with their kids in every moment.First off, I’d like to say that I’ve always shamed myself for being on Facebook so much. I knew I was on there too much, it almost felt like a chore, if my hands were idle I needed to be checking my Facebook, a moment of quiet…checking that newsfeed. After two weeks of mulling over what to do, I finally deactivated my account, I felt so liberated as my stepmother would say. My husband liked Facebook for the stories and crazy videos other guys would post, but he knew it was also taking up too much of his time, so he unplugged as well. I’ll be honest, I kept my instagram, but I don’t have near as many friends, compared to the 800+ on Facebook, and when you have that many “acquaintances” there is ALWAYS something new to read, I could never find a stopping point.Listen, this is in no way to shame or judge ANYONE. I’m not about that.
