Give-a-way/Review: Hilary Weeks New Book &CD: Bedtime and Naptime...

***This give-a-way is now closed. ***
 A while ago, Deseret Book, asked me to review Hilary Week's new book and CD that is available today.
 {yipee!} I was so excited about this-for several reasons.
 First of all, I was Hilary Week's daughter's school choir director several years ago.  Hilary complimented me many times at the school choir concerts. If you know how amazing and talented, Hilary is, then you can imagine how incredible this made me feel! She is a very sincere and genuine person.

 I have always been a big fan of everything she does! And this book and CD is no exception. It is wonderful. I love love love this book and CD!
It highlights the joys and challenges of motherhood, in every sense. I laughed. I cried. I could relate so well to everything she said. This book made me realize the great work I am doing in my home- even though sometimes it feels like I am surrounded by piles of dirty laundry and dirty dishes and constantly changing  poopy diapers. (excuse me - my son is calling me, "mom, someone did a poopy!!" )

I feel so overwhelmed sometimes, and this book helped me to cope with that feeling by reminding me of the small and simple joys of motherhood. Hilary is humorous, caring, down to earth, and very easy to identify with. She reminds us what really matters. She is witty, clever, and delightful.

The book is full of thoughts, quotes, recipes, humor, and colorful photos.
She says things like, (and I am paraphrasing) "sometimes don't you just want to do something crazy like run through a wall and go to Target for 2 hours?"
She shares with us some of her favorite things, like bedtime and naptime, and naptime and bedtime. (hey - those are my favorite things too!!)

Her CD includes many fan favorites- including "To-Do List", "I Believe I Can Fly", and "Climb Every Mountain." It also includes a song that really helped me reflect on what is important, as a mother, and even made me cry- after laughing through all the other songs.
You can view Hilary performing a few of her songs here:
