The Girlfriends' Guide to Getting Your Groove Back

Sensible, chummy and sure to be popular, The Girlfriends' Guide to Getting Your Groove Back: Loving Your Family Without Losing Your Mind by author and media personality Vicki Iovine (The Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy; etc.) offers advice to mothers of school-age kids. With an engaging mix of humor, firsthand experience and the insights of other girlfriends, she urges women to relish this phase of motherhood (and their independence from diaper bags), while also realizing that they can't turn the clock back. For example, even if moms can't find time to set aside ""date"" nights with their partners, there are other, efficient ways to rekindle the flame (e.g., greeting their mate with a long, lingering kiss; going to bed naked).
