Beyond the Birds and the Bees by Gregory K. Popcak
Beyond the Birds and the Bees by Gregory K. Popcak
5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Amazing!, Jun 22 2004
This book is just wonderful! I am a Catholic mom of 3 small children and I'm just starting to get "those" kinds of questions from my oldest child. I had no idea how to explain all this stuff, and it was very important that my explanations also prepare my children to grow into very moral, healthy, and happy Catholic adults.

Is There Life After Housework? by Don Aslett
5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Useful Book!, May 11 2004
This book is the most useful book on cleaning I have read. The author owns a cleaning business and shares tips on how to very efficiently and effectively both clean and de-clutter your home. He also discusses ways to keep the house from getting dirty to start with. I've used his tips for years now and have just re-read my copy of this and refreshed my memory [and got even more ideas!].

The author also writes very humorously, so it is an easy and fun book to read. Nothing too heavy but full of great ideas and suggestions. He is writing to an older generation perhaps, his ideas about housewives seem a bit out of date, but otherwise it is an enjoyable and extremely helpful book.

As the mother of two girls and one boy, I have found, somewhat to my surprise, that raising a son really IS different! Because of that I've purchased most of the books out right now on raising boys.

I found this book by Dobson to be interesting. His chapters on the biological differences in boys and girls were very enlightening. I also thought his chapter on the importance of fathers to families was excellent - and over due in the popular media. [yep, Dads really ARE important to their children it turns out!] In addition, I share Dobson's passion for having the mother in the home raising her children, especially when her children are very young. It is THE most important job in the… Read more
