Very Wholesome
This book is surprisingly not at all model-y. She presents motherhood in a very wholesome and natural way. Clearly promotes breastfeeding without being pushy. I found the eating and exercising tips realistic, do-able and very effective. The recipes are great if you are a relaxed cook (no exact measurements). The emotional parts are real and sincere, everyone can relate to them.Written in a relaxed girlfriend-to-girlfriend style, this book is a breath of fresh air. Frankly, it's more useful than some of the "What to Expect"-theme books.

Great Book that Tells The Truth !
I am the mother of a 10 month old.I wish that I had this book months ago.My experience was similar to Venedela's.It's an honest book that does not sugar coat the challenges of motherhood.Being a mother is the best job in the world.It is not always easy.I appreciate Vendela's honesty!

Intelligent guide on how to raise a family
Earlier this month,I had seen Vendela interviewed on television promoting her new book. It has been nearly a decade since as a young girl I had seen her in the advertisements for Elizabeth Arden that my aunt had said I resembled, perhaps of the Scandinavian background. That I have kept the colour couture bag my grandmother had given me as a gift, and she asked the salelady if she could have an extra bag as she adored the pink and purple colors designed on it, and the saleslady obliged. My grandmother had passed away, and I kept both bags together, and recently I used my bag as a gift bag for my younger cousin.
As I am not a frequent television watcher, and was fortunate when I did I saw her new book at just the perfect moment for a gift, as an older cousin of mine is having a baby at any moment now. Vendela writes with uncanny candor and warmth. Proves that one can't always live up to other people expectations of what they think you should look like. You'd drive yourself crazy. You have to feel good abut yourself. And, prove that you can be thin and fit after you have a baby.
The desk top style book offers clear advice, and recipes for everyday. It is perfect to give as a gift. And, in accompaniment with another book on your shelf entitled: "A Model For Better Future," written by another successful model, Kim Alexis on how to live a wonderful life in an certain world. Each of these books has wings!

Easy tips and quick results
The book is first of all very nicely done.The tips and exercises are simple and quick to get started with.I appreciate the fact that she allows us to see some real pictures of her being not so beautiful.I wish there were more meals on the go in the nutrition area.As long as women realize that she has a natural beauty that many of us do not have, then you will appreciate where she is coming from a little more.It's almost impossible to do all of the things we need to do for and with our bodies and especially with little kids underfoot.This is the perfect book to combine with the new revision of Mommy-CEO, 2001, by family expert, Jodie Lynn.The two only adds to the whole family routine of taking care of mommy.Mommy-CEO shows us how to get the kids motivated and Model Mommy shows us how and what to do to take care of ourselves.Both authors stress mommy time and creating space for moms. ...

National team caps and goals correctas of 1 April 2010.* Appearances (Goals) Azar Karadas (born 9 August 1981) is a Norwegian footballer playing for Kasmpaa S.K. in the Turkish first division. Although he can also play as a central defender, Karadas is renowned primarily as a centre forward. Karadas was born in Nordfjordeid of Turkish origin, his surname meaning "Black stone" in Turkish. He started his career in the small club Eid IL, moving to the professionals in 1999 with SK Brann. On 13 March 2002, Karadas signed for Rosenborg BK, reportedly suffering death threats over this move. At his new club, his performances soon earned him a call-up to the Norwegian under-21s, and it was not long before foreign eyes focused on the teenager. He further enhanced his reputation by scoring two goals against the mighty Inter Milan in a 200203 UEFA Champions League game, a 22 home draw. Karadas was linked with many of Europe's major clubs, including Roda JC, Liverpool and Udinese Calcio, but Portugal's Sport Lisboa e Benfica eventuall bought the 23-year old, and he joined the squad of veteran coach Giovanni Trapattoni. After one season at Benfica, where he scored four goals (including a brace at S.C. Beira-Mar in a 32 success) and helped the team win the national championship after 11 years, Karadas was loaned to Premier League club Portsmouth for the 200506 season. His spectacular volley which helped then-relegation-threatened Portsmouth earn a crucial 11 draw against Bolton Wanderers, was the highlight of his campaign, and his only goal ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1868073 ...

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Liv Johanne Ullmann (16 décembre 1938 à Tokyo au Japon - ) est une actrice, réalisatrice et scénariste norvégienne. Liv Ullmann est née à Tokyo, où son père y travaillait comme ingénieur des mines. La famille émigre ensuite au Canada puis aux États Unis pour échapper à la guerre. Les Ullmann retournent ensuite en Norvège, dans la ville de Trondheim, où Liv passera son enfance. Liv Ullmann entame sa carrière au théâtre, semble-t-il contre l'avis de sa famille. Elle suivra des cours de théâtre d'abord à Londres puis à Oslo. Elle est remarquée pour son interprétation dans une adaptation théâtrale du Journal d'Anne Frank dans laquelle elle tient le rôle principal. Elle interprètera aussi des pièces de Bertolt Brecht, Goethe, Henrik Ibsen. Au cinéma, après quelques films qui lui permettent d'acquérir un peu d'expérience, Ingmar Bergman, frappé par sa ressemblance avec Bibi Andersson, écrit le scénario de Persona dans lequel il dirige les deux actrices. Ce film marque le début d'une longue et fructueuse collaboration entre le réalisateur suédois et Liv Ullmann. L'Heure du loup, Une passion, Scènes de la vie conjugale et surtout Cris et chuchotements sont à cet égard les films où les talents conjugués du réalisateur et l'interprétation de Liv Ullmann sont les plus notables. Cette collaboration se poursuit dans le temps, puisque le réalisateur la sollicite encore en 2003, avec Sarabande. Liv Ullmann et Ingmar Bergman ont aussi vécu ensemble pendant plusieurs années et ont eu une...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more
