16 x MOM is about a woman who raised her 16 children in the heart of San Jose, California chronicling over 100 years of California history. Immigrations from the old countries of Italy, Spain, and Chile wends its way from the little town of Campo Seco to San Jose, California where Mom's life unfolds. Can you imagine being pregnant 4,500 + days, no twins and all full term? The days were long with little sleep and on her feet. Still Mom kept her focus on tending to all her children's needs. Think about it, she changed diapers for over 23 years. Mom's philosophies and love for her children displays her courageous life creating laughter, tears and "Her-story." She was there for our baptisms, first days of school, first communions, confirmations, graduations, weddings, with it starting all over again with the grand, great, and great-great grandchildren totaling over 100 of them. And where am I, the author in her line of broods?...how about the "Baker's Dozen." 

 

16 x MOM: A Mastery of Motherhood is a laminated hardback filled with photographs. Use this inspirational coffee table book as a guide to writing your own family history/genealogy.
 
Surprise, Surprise! A Lucky Surprise! Since St. Patrick's Day is coming up, I am giving away another little something for a second and maybe third prize. Depends on how many comments I get. How about a real Four-Leaf Clover-one that I dried and laminated? I do have several of all different colors, shapes and sizes. The genealogy comes all the way from France. They are God's beautiful creations. I'm not sure how St. Patrick got the credit for it. I've been offered $20 just for one. There is a true story that comes with the clovers that I'll share with the winners. Don't miss out on a chance on something this special.
