As a busy mom of twins, I wanted to like this book - I really did. I just couldn't get into it. I felt like I was doing something wrong in my own family, because I am not finding God's hand in every little event in life. I did enjoy the stories and testimony she shared, it just wasn't my cup of tea.

I laughed, I nodded and I loved this book. It was a really nice book to relate to, as a mom. I was finding myself in agreement, nodding and thinking “oh, that’s my life!” it was real, it was authenticate yet, held tales that moms resound with. It was personal to this author, she gave a piece of her life in writing this book. As the reader progresses they can feel her heart and mind on the pages. Through good and bad the author provided her stories of motherhood to those that could use a laugh.

Overall, moms of faith and moms even struggling with faith will find this book charming. The siren call of motherhood will sweep them through the stories and moments that will have them thinking they are in the book.

I am SO thankful for this book! It is such a refreshing change from the "usual" mom books. I have a full review written up that will go live on my blog on June 18th, but suffice it to say, I loved loved loved this book! If I could hug the author, I would hug her breathless. Such a good book, highly recommended!

Stepping on Cheerios

Finding God in the Chaos and Clutter of Life

I am voluntarily reviewing Stepping on Cheerios through Abingdon Press and Netgalley:

In this book the author tells of her belief that God cares less about obedience and more about imagination.

She talks about the difficulty often found in becoming a spouse in the unexpected craziness of this world.

She goes on to talk about difficult pregnancies and the challenges of fitting a life around bed rest.

This book reminds us too that though there are secrets we keep from one another we can keep nothing from the Lord.

The author reminds us too to watch what we are saying around kids, because at some point they understand what we are saying. We are reminded too that whoever parents children, they all belong to God.

We are reminded of the importance of valuing ourselves at the stage of life we are currently in.

I give Stepping on Cheerios five out of five stars and would recommend it to all you busy Mom's out there.
