Thanks to Ms. Peggy Nolan over at The Stepmom’s Tool Box for her review of The Package Deal.

She says…

“Izzy Rose has written the every new step mom book! The Package Deal is funny and full of the lessons every new step mom must learn. She talks about the struggles universal to step moms – setting boundaries, finding alone time with your man, and most importantly, Accepting What Is (Rule Number Six).”

Peggy is a published author and the founder and creator of two blogs, The Step Moms Tool Box and Serendipity Smiles. She is also the founder of The Mother’s Day Dare Project. As a self-care advocate, certified yoga instructor and breast cancer survivor, Peggy is passionate about helping others help themselves. Her recently published article “Self-Care for Step Moms” can be found in the May issue of The StepMom Magazine. Peggy’s mission is to heal families and save the world…one mom, one step mom at a time.

A second squeeze of gratitude to Samara over at Simplicity in the Suburbs for her review.

She says…

“So many books on being a stepmom or in a stepfamily either send you to yoga singing kumbaya or fill you up with anger, hurt and frustration… not Izzy though.”

Samara definitely gets me. Although our lifestyles are different, we share a similar attitude and she and I have been sister bloggers since I launched Stepmother’s Milk in 2007. Read Samara’s full review HERE

Samara Tilkens Postuma lives in Suburban Minnesota and is a stepmother and mother to four children. She was the Stepmother’s Milk Stepmom in the Spotlight in October of 2007. Read her story here.
