What people are saying about the book:
"We all have our favorite books, don’t we? We also probably have a Bible in our homes as well. Well, I bring this up because I truly believe that Bria SImpson's book is the “Mommy Bible” if there ever was one. I was looking through the shelves of Barnes & Noble one day because I needed a book to help me balance being a mom and a working mom. I felt like I wanted to do so many things and was not successfully balancing doing both. I needed a book to help. So, almost like it had it’s own light, I found The Balanced Mom by Bria Simpson. I read it and dubbed it my Mommy Bible!"
