As a first time parent, it was good to hear real life accounts of people who have been in the trenches and made it out the other side! I did enjoy reading about different parenting styles & experiences, and how they shaped some household names.
I did find some of the chapters to be dense and seemed to last forever. There were a few chapters that had the name of a celebrity parent, but only one or two quotes from that person & the rest was the author’s experience. Whilst it was nice to see her experience as well, it took away from the premise of the book IMO.
This may not have been a book I actively sought out, but I enjoyed it. I found it heartwarming and inspiring. I’d recommend it to other Moms!

This book, I loved it so much!!! It was so relatable and yet there was so much advice given to me as if they spoke directly to me.

This was hard for me because I loved the premise and the intro. The book overall is a heartwarming look at motherhood parenthood and how that is different for us all. It stresses the importance of learning and grace. However it did drag a bit.

Sheinelle Jones co-hosts the Today show. One of her assignments was to interview moms of famous people. Jones gathered enough material to write a book. Jones and her interviewees share triumphs and learning experiences. The overall message: Parenting is one of the hardest jobs! Be kind to yourself as you navigate parenthood. Look to build up your child's strengths, so your child can explore the world. And finally, community is important because those people become your encouragers and role models.

I really enjoyed this read! Sheinelle Jones, a co-host on the Today Show, writes about interviews and conversations she had with mothers of celebrities. Each mother has her own chapter, and Sheinelle also talks about her relationships with her own mother and children throughout the book. I enjoyed reading about how each of the mothers had their own version of raising children and the life lessons they learned along the way. While the book does discuss motherhood, I think it has a broad appeal for all women and would be enjoyed by any reader.

Thanks to Penguin Group and NetGalley for providing an eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Sheinelle Jones from the Today Show was inspired to write “Through Moms Eyes” when she did a series about motherhood and interviewed mothers of famous actors, singers, athletes, etc. She learned so much from them, so she decided to create a book about motherhood and parenting. Therefore, she could share their wisdom in more detail and talk about her own experiences with motherhood.

Motherhood is not perfect and has its ups and downs. Each mother defines who they are and how they raise their children. These were all themes with each mother sharing their wisdom.

A wonderful book that is fascinating to read! It’s an uplifting and inspiring book. I loved how Sheinelle Jones included “Mama Said” at the beginning of each chapter! It’s a book that is perfect for your nightstand as you can read it cover to cover or just read a chapter that speaks to you at the moment! A great book to gift to fellow mothers and moms-to-be!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Thank you, NetGalley, for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

“Through Mom’s Eyes is for anyone raising children who wants to feel encouraged—and to perhaps laugh a little—thanks to loving advice from the mothers of some people who have achieved huge dreams and won the respect of millions in the process.”

Moms of Venus & Serena Williams, the Jonas brothers, Shaquille O’Neal, Matthew McConnaughey, Lady Gaga and more discuss their journey of parenting.

I love all parenting books that focus on mindset and this was a real treat. The quote above is a perfect summary of what to expect. It was reflective, funny, and inspiring. The stories from each mom were the perfect length for me to feel engaged. I enjoyed Jones’ reflections on her own motherhood and family.

I recommend!

I love the concept that Jones had with her new book. Advice from celeb moms and mixed with her own parenting wisdom. It works! Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. This was a quick and enjoyable book.

Great journalist. Great stories, Authentic tales. Interesting perspective from a mom's point of view and what that relationship can do

This book was a solid 3 stars for me. I enjoyed reading it and enjoyed the short chapters, each by a different mom. A few of the chapters drug for me a bit. I did enjoy reading how the moms interviewed handled various issues in life to include their child being bullied (Lady Gag) and embarrassing moments at a parent of adults (Jessica Simpson). The theme that stuck out at me the most is just teaching your kid to be resilient and kind. Don't focus on the small things. Focus on their strengths, not weaknesses. And as a mom; to not be too hard on yourself and make sure to establish some "me" time.

Thank you to NetGallery and Penguin Group for giving me the opportunity to read and review this ARC.

Sheinelle Jones starts with a great premise - advice from mothers who raised extraordinary people. She combines this wisdom with her own tales raising three children. Readers will love this.
