More for Mom Book Review

*Disclaimer – I did receive an advance copy of the book “More for Mom” by Kristen Funston in order to help facilitate my review. All opinions are 100% my own.

As a mom, we like to think that we are invincible or we do everything under control and don’t lose our cool with anything. Well, we do lose our cool and we sometimes don’t have it all together and that’s alright. We are human and we aren’t invincible because we as moms want to care for our children. We want the best for them and we want to encourage them to do what’s right. But we know that sometimes it doesn’t go our way and it’s hard to admit when you’ve been defeated. Have you ever read a book that made you feel like you aren’t the only mom out there that just can’t get it right?

This book “More for Mom” by Kristen Funston has made me realize that I’m not alone in this whole parenting thing. I took have trials and triumphs that every other moms have. But have you thought about who you are as a whole and how you live your life will reflect on your kids? Growing up I always went to Sunday School and then Church and never thought that I wouldn’t ever go. But guys, let’s be real here for a second. Whenever you become a new mom you don’t know how you will ever sleep, eat or even take a shower. Let alone there may be days where you don’t even want to leave the house even if it is for church.

We all want to follow in the Lord’s path and we want to live a holy life. As moms though we sometimes get pushed aside and may have to step out from church service to tend to the kids. I get it, trust me. I don’t know how many times I had to do that when Olivia was younger and missed out on the sermon more times than I can count. I have always had the Lord on my side, but didn’t know how I could learn about him more. This book has given me a new hope on life that I’m not the only one who struggles. I’m not the only one who has an adult meltdown because my day or week didn’t go right. It’s OK when that happens too because we too need our little time to ourselves. Reading this book allowed me to learn how to cope in different stages and how to be more holy everyday.
