As some of you may know, I participated in going through a 100 day program with Honoree Corpron Corder that she wrote a book about. This is one of the best self help books out there, and maybe the only one out there specifically for single moms. Now Honoree is giving away a signed copy of her book! All you have to do to enter is go to her website The Successful Single Mom, and leave a comment about a challenge that you faced and came through. Honoree is a great friend and an excellent coach. Whether your a single mom or not, this book will help you get you back on track and find the courage to get through anything!

How to Be a Hepburn in a Hilton World by Jordan Christy
About The Book:
In a society driven by celebutante news and myspace profiles, women of class, style and charm are hard to come by. The Audrey and Katharines of the world continue to lose their lustre as thongs, rehab and outrageous behaviour burn up the daily headlines. But, despite appearances, guys still want a girl they can take home to their mother, employers still like to see a tailored suit and peers still respect classy conduct. So is it possible to maintain old fashioned virtues in a modern world without looking like a starchy Amish grandma? Christy shows women how in this guide to glamorous style, professional success and true love...the classy way. Full of fun assignments, notable names and real-life examples, Christy offers a new look at seemingly 'old fashioned' advice. She covers diet, speech, work ethic, friends, relationships, manners, makeup and fashionable yet modest clothing, showing modern ladies how they can be beautiful, intelligent and fun while retaining values and morals Read more...

The Successful Single Mom Cooks by Honoree Corpron & Grace Bascos
From The Book:
Single moms have so much to do! Raise the kids, go to work, do the laundry, help with homework … and cook dinner? For all of my years as a single mom, I felt like a failure in the “cooking healthy meals” category. I really wanted to make a balanced breakfast to give my daughter a great start to the day, pack her lunch with multiple creative Martha Stewart-esque yummies, cook a healthy dinner every night, yet I found myself downing a protein shake while I made yet another PB&J sandwich or pot of beans and wieners.
What to do? I went in search of healthy, home-cooked meals that contained a manageable number of ingredients and would be ready and on the table in about 20 minutes.
What I discovered was that there were so many healthy and nutritious recipes I could make that my daughter would actually eat! Not only that, she would ask for them over and over!

The Homeschoolers Income Makeover By Tisha Silvers
I was lucky enough to be on a homeschooling email list with Tisha, which is how I found out about this wonderful e-book of hers. She is a homeschooling parent, and has started several of her own home based businesses. In this wonderful book, she not only shows you how to do the very same thing, but she also gives you a ton of resources both for business AND homeschooling.
It's an amazing book that tells you how to go through the various steps of starting your own businessTisha gives you resources that are both on and off line, some of which you wouldn’t have been able to find on your ownI know this, because I’ve looked and almost all of the online sources were new to meThere are some that I’ve found before, but without her personal recommendation on them, I wouldn’t have gone back to themShe also gives you some great advice on how to find and use great resources off line as wellIdeas that made me hit my forehead thinking “why didn’t I think of that!"
Trish Silvers puts all of this into one great package, in an easy to read, well thought out, and inspiring book. Knowing that not only is she a homeschooler, but this is written expressly for homeschoolers, makes this book even betterAnd the price of the book makes it even more available to even the tightest budget. I highly recommend that every homeschooler who needs to bring in extra money should get The Homeschoolers Income Makeover. And if you’re a single mom like me, who’s also homeschooling, it’s a MUST HAVE!
