Table for Eight: Raising a large family in a small-family world (Alpha/Penguin, 2007)

“Are they all yours?” Ask any parent with more than the average of two kids, and chances are good they’ve heard that question. Despite a rash of news stories declaring that “three is the new two” and even that “four is the new three”, the world–from housing to cars to restaurant booths–seems designed for the family with one or two kids. In this book, I interviewed a panel of parents with four or more kids to get the best tips, tricks and advice for keeping the large-family household running, saving money, dealing with sibling rivalry and more.

The Everything Health Guide to Postpartum Care: A Complete Guide to Looking and Feeling Great After Delivery and Beyond (Adams Media) offers new moms advice on all the issues they might wrestle with in the first months after having a baby: work to relationships, sex and fashion, exercise and health, breastfeeding and especially becoming a mother.

Both books are available through Amazon.com.
