Reviewed by Rachel Dehning for Readers View (6/20)

Holli Kenley’s latest book, Pilates for Parenting, is an important and impactful read. I had never heard of the correlation made between exercise and parenting, but Kenley flows the two together effortlessly. Much like exercise is important for the positive functioning of your body, learning to “stretch,” “strengthen,” and “balance” your parenting techniques is important for the positive functioning of your relationships.

Understanding the importance of exercise to strengthen your body, it only makes sense that for something as important as parenting, there should be workouts for it as well. We should think of Kenley as our trainer; her routine initially includes a warmup, much like a personal pep talk, followed by a workout for each parenting topic, which includes two to three exercises to perform in each workout. The workouts are meant to be done purposefully, so rushing and not putting your heart into the work is not proper grounds to move forward.

Kenley includes research to back up her claims about the proper parenting styles and the obstacles that parents must overcome in this day and age, namely, technology and social media. She includes three Appendixes at the end to aid us parents who need her help and refreshingly speaks openly about personal experiences that pertain to each topic.

Holli Kenley’s “Pilates for Parenting” can be used by any parent raising children in today’s society. I love that in the book, she emphasizes the fact that even if the reader starts discovering things they need to work on, that you shouldn’t let that keep you down- learning to forgive and correct is part of the journey. She writes inclusively and with compassion. I can’t say enough good things about her and this book because if people will take her words to heart, it is true that not only family relationships will improve, but also relationships in the community and around the world.

Are We Happy Yet?


We are used to psychologists, psychiatrists, and other "experts" offering advice
about how to be happy and how to live a fulfilling life. Even though the books
by these experts can be helpful, sometimes the best way to learn about life is from true stories. Although Love Each Day doesn't specifically tell people how to live a wonderful life, the authentic true stories nevertheless offer timeless lessons about enjoying life. The tapestry of true stories in our lives will always be invaluable.
From these stories we not only learn how people from different walks of life live, but also what is important to these individuals. Ultimately, this book inspires readers to spend time treasuring what really matters.


Praise for Love Each Day


"This book of poignant, inspirational, and moving stories gives us a glimpse into
other people's lives and an opportunity to tap into our own life scripts. The touching
experience of each individual demonstrates that life is to be celebrated, shared,
and cherished."
--Irene Watson, author of
The Sitting Swing: Finding Wisdom to Know the Difference


"Should you live your life as if each day were your last? Love Each Day answers this question by showing us that 'living each day so you would want to live it again' is a much better formula for happiness. From famous individuals like Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell and professional baseball player Huston Street, to police officers, moms, and everyday people, Love Each Day inspires us with true stories from real life."
--Kenneth J.M. MacLean, author of
The Vibrational Universe and Conversations with my Higher Selff


"Loving each day is essential in order to live in joy and fulfillment. The stories within Love Each Day remind us that each day is a life, each day is a new world,
each day is another opportunity to bless and be blessed."

--Lee Lawson, artist and author, Visitations from the Afterlife
