"I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I thought it was going to be a corny christian take on being a mom. But really, there were times it made me cry & laugh. It was very relatable."

" Would like to have given it 3.5 stars if available. Some parts were very good and made you think. Enjoyed the questions at the end of each chapter. But, some parts seemed to be like a lot of other moms books out there, just worded differently. "
— Melia, 7/22/2012 -
" Used to be in MOPS, and I still enjoy reading their wise words...perhaps would have liked this more when the girls were younger...and I could have used it more like a workbook. "

" Our MOPS group did this book. It is all things you hear over and over again, but it is nice to be reminded! "
— Julie, 8/23/2010 -
" Our MOPS group is reading this as our study for the year. So far, it's ok, but typical of what you would expect for a mom-focused devotional. "
— Christie, 3/18/2010 -
" Super good for giving you the words to say to that person who's asking you what they can do to help :)) "
