One of my favorite things about writing on this here wideworldintertubeblogsite is that I get to share stuff I like with you, the internets. And today, I am ever-so-delighted to share some books by Marla Taviano, who has one of the most down-to-earth and engaging writing styles that you ever did see, amen.
Marla writes about stuff that many of us can relate to – marriage, babies, and the, um, activity that leads to the babies – and she does so in a way that makes reading her books feel like you’re talking with a girlfriend who has been right where you are and knows exactly how you feel.
No self-righteousness, no here’s-what-I-think-and-you’re-wrong-if-you-don’t-think-the-same-thing. Just practical, sound encouragement from someone who is grounded in Truth and wants to spur on her readers as they make their way through a season of life that can sometimes get a little cuckoo.
Triple love that.
Marla is giving away five copies of her books, and if you’d like to win one of them, here’s all you have to do:
1. Click here to visit Marla’s website.
2. Take a look at her three books. You can even read excerpts while you’re there.
3. Come back here and tell me which book you’d like to win.
4. That’s it!
I’ll leave this giveaway open until next Monday, June 9. At that point I’ll use random.org to draw for five winners.
And if you think you can’t possibly wait until then, or if you know that you’d like to give Marla’s books as gifts, you can take advantage of what she has dubbed her Fancy BooMama Special (picture me, eating fried chicken and blushing) and buy all three books for only $20.
Personally, I think that three brand-spankin’ new books for $20 is a mighty fine deal indeed.
I hope y’all enjoy digging a little deeper into Marla’s books – I know you’re going to love them.
Have fun, everybody!
This giveaway is now closed.
Am I really the first commenter? Well, then, I’ll never win! The random integer thingie never picks number 1!
Nevertheless, I’d like either Changing the world one diaper at a time (I’m a mom of 10m triplets…this would be a very appropriate book for me)
OR
Is that all he thinks about because well…we have 5 kids!
have a great night.
Bring on the sex! You can never learn to much about it! H
I’ve got the sex book and it’s quite good. Love Marla and I’m always amazed by all she has going on.
For me.. it’s got to be Changing Your World One Diaper at a Time. I mean, who couldn’t use a little encouragement when it comes to being a mommy?.. especially if it’s grounded in the Word of God.
Fun! I’d love the “Is that all he thinks about” book! :-)
Not familiar with Marla, but absolutely loved her website and blog, and can’t wait to read her books! Would love to read “Changing Your World One Diaper at a Time” first.
Thanks-I’d love the sex book. And yes, that IS all he thinks about. :)
Is That All He Thinks About…
Is That All He Thinks About?
I need this book!!!! Need I say more???
i’m voting for the sex book. oh yeah!
I’m going for the “Is That All He Thinks about?”
and yes , yes it is girls. but thats NOT a bad thing when he’s coming home to you wanting it!!!
Sign me up for “From Blushing Bride To Wedded Wife”, please, Sophie.
And thanks for hosting the giveaway!
xoxoxo

Is that all he thinks about?
For sure. This one.
Thanks, Boomama!
Ooo, I’m always looking for good resources for when we mentor newly married couples. Cool!
Changing Your World One Diaper at a Time would be perfect for me, as a new mom to a 6 month old. I read the first few pages of the excerpt and I’ve decided I need this book, even if I don’t win. Fingers crossed though! Thanks BooMama!
i’m with heather…can you know too much about sex with your hubby? i want the sex one! :)
the marriage book – or the makin’ babies book. both sound great!
I think I’d like the “Is that all he thinks about?” book.
The makin babies for me. However, if either my husband or I get pregnant, someone has some splainin to do.
The SEX book, hands down! I guess the internet is as good a place as any to announce that that book might really come in handy these days… *cringe*
Gonna go with Is That Really All He Thinks About b/c my youngest three girls are already almost 2. We’re not going back to first year baby stuff ever, and DH and I are approaching our 9th anniversary this summer. Woohoo!
Sweet Husband and I are hoping to enter into the diaper phase of life soon, so I’d love to have “Changing Your World One Diaper at a Time.”
I would get “Is That All He Thinks About?”. Actually, I would get all three because I would share them with my daughters-in-law!
Laurie in TN
All the books look very interesting & helpful. I would choose “Is That All He Thinks About?”
Is That All He Thinks About?…..yep, I think so.
For the love of all that’s good, “Is That All He Thinks About?”. I need that book. And Mr. Random knows it, too.
I first thought I would choose “Changing Your World One Diaper at a time”, but I think after some serious consideration, I think I would choose “is that all he thinks about?”
Thanks for referring a new author!
“Is That All He Thinks About” is a book that I could definitely use right now. If I don’t win, I’ll just have to buy it. ;o)
I’ll toot my horn with the horny bunch (wink) for Is That ALL He Thinks About please.
I’d love to win From Blushing Bride to Wedded Wife! :-)
I read the excerpt from “Is That All He Thinks About” and um, I want that book!
Definitely “Is that all he thinks about?”. Need a word from the Lord on this one =)
I think I would pick “Is That All He Thinks About!”
Thanks for hosting…
Definitely “Is that all he thinks about?”.
“Is that all he thinks about,” for sure. I’m glad to see by the above comments that I’m NOT ALONE in my need for this book. I was embarrassed at first, but realize I’m one of millions of women who have some needs in this area. :)
Is That All He Thinks About?
I would love to read “Changing the World, One Diaper at a Time”. Thanks!
I’m past the Blushing Bride to Wedded Wife transition. I’m not yet at the One Diaper… phase. So, I’ll go with “Is that All He Thinks About?” For my DH, it’s not, but I’m always looking for greater wisdom and good tips where mattress dancing is concerned.
And judging by the other comments thus far, so are most of us!
Thanks BooMama!
Is that all he thinks about is the one for me too please.
Changing the World…since I’m due with my third in October. Thanks!
WIN this book, read it, and do everything Marla says. Edited version of my (her husband) phrase on the back of the Is That All He Thinks About book especially for BooMama’s giveaway!
As a wife, mother and author, there have definitely been days my wife needs some encouragement. She needs a boost like we all do, and I’m thankful God’s brought her many more smiles through your blog!
Looks like I’m going with the crowd and hoping for “Is That All he Thinks about?”.
Pick me. Please pick me. :)
Is That All He Thinks About is what I would like to win. Thanks!
“blushing bride”
ha ha! The “is that all he thinks about” book. Love it!!
I’d love the “Is That All He Thinks About?” book! And the “One Diaper At A Time” sounds great too!
For sure…Changing Your World One Diaper at A Time!!
I’d love a copy of Is That All He Thinks About!
Going with everyone else…bring on the sex!
Is That All He Thinks About? seems to be the top dog here. But if I were going to win a book I would have to choose that one also. Even after 25+ years of marriage and 3 mostly grown children, there’s still room for improvement (I just hope there’s still “time”.)
Is that all he thinks about?, yeah that’s the one I need.
:)
It is a toss up between “Is That All He Thinks About” and “Changing the World One Diaper at a Time” I could use them both–perhaps I’ll take the offer on all three and give the other as a wedding gift to an unsuspecting bride!
Is That All He Thinks About
Changing Your World One Diaper at a Time :)
Is that all he thinks about?
Yes hun, yes it is.
“Is that all he thinks about”
I’ve never heard of her before- thanks for the introduction. I’d like “Is that all he ever thinks about.”
Thanks!
Is That All He Thinks About?
I am sure I would enjoy either the sex book or the general marriage book. However the diaper book is no longer needed in our house seeing as we are done with that phase of our kids lives.
Changing your world one diaper at a time!
Is That All He Thinks About?
Because I really do ask myself that question.
I’ve read Wedded and Diapers, and bought more for friends and family in those stages! But not ITAHTA.
I’d love to though! (Sign me up?!)
May I add to anyone who hasn’t read her before… she is a funny, sweet, and honest author. Reading Marla is like sitting and having coffee with someone you care about… you get the distinct saticfation, that she cares about you too.
Enjoy!
I would LOVE the “Is That All He Thinks About?” book. Looks great! :)
They all look good, but I would most like to win “Is that all he thinks about?”
“Changing your World One Diaper at a Time” also looks really good though, so it isn’t an easy decision! Thanks for the giveaway:)
Oh, it’s a toss up between the sex book and the baby book.
i’d love the sex book!!! thanks boomama!
Probably “Is that all the thinks about”
Because it sure seems that way sometimes
I would say that I’d want the “Is That All He Thinks About Book” but I’m fairly certain, having never read it, that I know the answer… YES!!!
Nah- I’m just kiddin’ (not about the answer… just about not needing that book)
BRING IT ON!!!
I’d love a copy of Is That All He Thinks About!
Is That All He Thinks About?
I have a friend getting married in August and I think this would be a great addition to her lingerie shower gift.
I’d like to win “Is that all he thinks about?” Thanks!
Changing Your World One Diaper at a Time…
I’m going to be a first time Mom in December.
I’d take a Christian book on sex any day :), plus the fact that being an older wife/mom the other two don’t so much speak to me, but I could certainly give them away. All three sound good.
It has to be Is That All He Thinks About? Been married 19 years and I still have that question….lol!!
I never win anything, hope my luck changes!!
Is That All He Thinks About?
Sounds like a good read!
Is that all he thinks about?
I totally want the Diaper book – my little lady is almost 4 months old, and I sometimes am literally up to my elbows in diapers.
Thanks!! :)

Changing Your World One Diaper at a Time looks great!
Is that all he thinks about? I must have this book, reading one chapter is not enough!!! :-)
“Is That All He Thinks About?” Hands down. And by looking at the other comments I’m thinking that is a pretty common question!
Honestly, any of the books would be fun. I’ve got friends who need gifts, so if I win one of the others that’s totally awesome too!
ooo I pick ” Is that all I think about?” I mean HE, “all He thinks about.” wink wink
“Changing the World, One Diaper at a Timeâ€. –thanks!
Is that all he thinks about? – I think I NEED this book – if i don’t win, I’m buying it. Thanks for the resource link! I wish I’d had one diaper at a time when my kids were small. Boo Mama, you’re the best.
I don’t know if my comment added – Is that all he thinks about?
Since my babies have been out of diapers for a long time and I will skip that and I am divorced so I think I will stay away from Is that ALL He thinks about , I pick the Blushing Bride book. Of course if the book, Changing the World , One Diaper at a time was about us older people who need a diaper if we sneeze, cough and sometimes laugh, that book would be for me. heehee
Thanks for the chance to win a book!!
I am laughing at all the ladies who chose, Is That ALL He thinks about…I don’t see the problem. LOL
I would like “Is That All He Thinks About…” The other two don’t apply to me anymore, plus who couldn’t use a better sex life?
I would like “Is That All He Thinks About”.
Since I am WAY past diapers and have been married 23 years this August (married at 13;).) it HAS to be the sex book!
“Is That All He Thinks About” is the book for me. That title describes my man to a T. Some days I can’t decide if it’s a blessing or a curse.
I choose “Is That All He Thinks About.” The other two don’t really apply to life right now, but that one will be fun and interesting! :)
I would love “Is That All He Thinks About”, just reading the excerpt, it looks like some great truths! I may have to buy it if I don’t win!
I would want “Is That All He Thinks About”.
Wow, Marla looks like she’s got some great books available! Count me in for “Is THAT ALL He Thinks About”???!!!! :D
I am past the diaper stage and have been in wedded bliss for years so I would like the “IS THAT ALL HE THINKS ABOUT”. How many times have I thought that to myself!!!
I actually did the Fancy BooMama special to give as gifts to three different women. (Of course I will read them first.) However I know two women that would benefit from Changing Your World One Diaper at at Time, so this is the one I’d like to win. Thank you. :)
Is that all he thinks about? Definately need that book!
They all look great, but I am going to say Changing Your World One Diaper at a Time.
I was feeling a little bit embarrassed about my choice, but it looks like I’m in good company. Clearly I’m not the only one in this boat!!
Is That All He Thinks About??
:-)
They all sound great, but I would like to check out the “Is That All He Thinks About?” book.
