“Becky dives into the absurd platitudes we sometimes offer one another and digs just a little deeper to find the nuggets of truth we really do need to hear.”

—Jill Savage, author of No More Perfect Moms & founder of Hearts at Home


“Enjoy every minute because the time goes so fast!”
 
Every mother of young children has been offered this advice. Yet for moms in the thick of it, this advice is neither realistic nor attainable. A tired, overwhelmed mom can easily internalize these well-intentioned words into guilt-laced, negative self-talk. 
 
What is wrong with me? Why aren’t I enjoying
my kids more? Why do I feel so overwhelmed
when other moms seem so normal? I should be
more patient and joyful. I’m a Christian--
I shouldn’t be struggling so much.
 
We will not enjoy every minute of this journey, but we can find joy in each season. 
​With humor and candor, Becky takes on this cliché along with other common myths such as, “God will never give you more than you can handle,” and “The most important thing is that your kids be happy.” Through compelling stories and biblical insights, she encourages moms to rely on God’s strength in the hard moments, adjust their expectations to accommodate the ups and downs of life, walk with others along the way, and develop and maintain an eternal perspective.

“No disclaimers needed; this book is solidly sound.
Beautifully written, full of wisdom, easy to read. 
Bravo Becky!”

—Letitia Suk, author of
100 Need to ​Know Tips for Moms of Tweens and Teens
