Short and sweet!

Short, sweet and engaging! Loved it! Made me realize more of the joy and privilege God has given us in motherhood, even though it’s hard!

Short , Practical and Wise

Easy listen. Finished in one sitting. Love the short books by Canon Press that are full of wisdom like this and Why Children Matter. Clear examples of how we practically apply what we believe from the Bible to parenting our children, while we ourselves walk in the truth. Doesn't waste time on laying theological foundation that you can find in so many other books. Assumes they are there and charges full speed ahead.

Inspirational guilt trip/pep talk

I liked everything about this book!!!! Its so accurate about motherhood. I appreciated the honesty and how she gives it to you straight. I feel inspired to be a better mom and to discipline my children differently but I also know now that I am not alone in how I feel and fail at parenting sometimes. Grace is my new motto - God gives me grace and I should do the same for my children.

Excellent!

Rachael has an incredible amount of wisdom to give, and is so FUN to listen to!

Buyer be ware: this is a Christian book

I wish I had known before buying this book that it is completely geared towards those with strong Christian beliefs. Despite the fact that there is a lot of wisdom in the text I’d much prefer a secular account of motherhood challenges.

Great little book- with one caveat.

This is a really great book for moms of littles. Candid, up front and practical about the hard work in this season of life. Great if you need a shot in the arm about the reality of "life with littles" One word of caution is that the author can, at times, come across as a bit condemning - ie if you're a parent struggling with your child in a certain area that is "your fault" or "just get your act together" (this may be slightly exacerbated by the narrator having a tad harsher tone as well.) However, I personally found that to be rather refreshing in this day and age of "feel good parenting"! (But I would caution the mom who is considering this book while feeling insecure and discouraged to maybe find another read.) Overall though, a great little book filled with some very insightful illustrations for this particular season of life!

Much Needed

Such a good read for the "trench years". So powerful, encouraging, and refreshing! Loved it, will definitely be listening to it again!

I started it over as soon as it finished!

I love the short chapters and the relatable stories. I appreciate her perspective and tough love for her readers. I took notes the second time around because of the great information and tips. I will be listening to this again!

Wonderful!!

So encouraging! Already using some of the things I learned with my two year old. Highly recommend!!

Just what I needed to hear

As I am a mom of littlest, this was just the book to help reorient my perspective and encourage me as well as provide helpful hints on how to direct your children toward godliness. I will be reading this book again and sharing with friends!!
