The Emergency Mom -- The Perfect Holiday Gift...a handy journal you fill in. It's 100 durable pages and spiral bound so you can make and retrieve entries with ease. See the Table of Contents at: www.pochettebooks.com/ermom.htm.

Welcome to The Emergency Mom-the ultimate paper trail and one-stop resource for the information your family will need when the unexpected occurs.

Just imagine... you're out of town and your purse gets stolen. You don't know your credit card numbers, your passport number, you don't even know your husband's work number because it was in your cell phone and your cell phone was in your purse. Fortunately, you have The Emergency Mom in your suitcase and can get to work immediately securing your identity, canceling your credit cards and getting an emergency passport-you have all the numbers at your fingertips. Or maybe you didn't have The Emergency Mom with you but gave a copy to your daughter, now all you have to do is call her to retrieve the information you need to get your trip back on track.

You usually don't know until it happens-you know, that realization that your family will have no clue where to find any important papers or information if something unexpected happens to you, your husband or your entire family. If something unexpected happens to your parents, will you have access to the information you may need to save their lives or deal with their affairs if the worse should happen?

The Emergency Mom puts information like your child's allergies and medications or the number of your daughter's soccer coach in a handy journal, ready when you need them. The Emergency Mom conveniently stores your plumber's number, the phone number to your child's dormitory office, the phone number for your husband's boss, the value of your heirlooms, your son's license plate number or the address of his music teacher in a one-stop resource that is easy to use.

It's your emergency journal tailored to the information you need to have at your fingertips as well as the information you need only now and then but want to access conveniently. Let's face it; PDAs can lose memory and your information. A CD alone, filled with all your pertinents is not enough. It can corrupt and cause you to lose all your information. Also, will your computer boot quickly when you need that important phone number or account number? You need both!

The Emergency Mom will always be there for you, filled with all the vital information your family might need. And its format and categories give you the opportunity to put in standard information as well as tailored information. Blank pages at the end of each chapter and at the back of the journal allow you to create a resource tailored to your needs... have it your way! In addition, you can use the back pages to log updates and more. Also, consider filling out a new guide each year to ensure the most current and accurate data.

It's a great resource for grandparents, parents, children and even the family tree enthusiast. It will offer you peace of mind when you're out of town, dealing with illness, caring for your ailing parents or trying to keep track of a college student living away from home.

You can put a more detailed version in your safe deposit box and a less detailed version in a safe place at home where your family can access it. Put it with your cookbooks, only your family will know it's there.

The Emergency Mom is that resource you never think you need until you need it. Make sure you give one to your attorney or executor too-it will hold the up-to-date information they need if something happens to you. It's the essential resource for today's families. Make sure everyone in your family has one.

"It wasn't until I was recovering in the hospital from an unexpected illness that I realized how little my husband knew about our household and family matters. I'd always taken care of all that. I'd purchased the life insurance, car insurance, and hired the gardener. He had no idea how to reach any of these people or where to start; and even if he did try to find the info, he'd have been met with a bunch of pieces of paper stuffed in files here and there. My husband didn't even know my parent's phone number, and though he knew how to get to their house, he had no idea what their address was. Once I recovered, I knew I had to organize our information into a booklet both my son and my husband could easily access and use.This book replicates the raw version I made for them. I hope it helps your family too!" Pat Landaker
