Being a mom is a harder job than I ever imagined it could be. Now, don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love my girls. I love their individual personalities, the silly things they do, and how much they are growing and learning each year. What can prove to be a challenge though, is the daily grind. Each day, getting 3 girls and their hair ready, going to work, getting supper on the table, homework done, baths taken, and back in bed can be exhausting. For many women, that daily grind also includes athletic events, appointments, and all sorts of extracurriculars. As moms, we give so much of ourselves every single day, but often don’t take the time to enjoy the grind.

I am absolutely in love with my latest review book, More for Mom Living your Whole and Holy Life. The author, Kristin Funston, approaches the world a lot like I do. She uses a combination of common sense and humor to tackle many of the issues ALL women face (even those many of us won’t admit). She talks a lot about the mental games that so many of us women play, present company included. Sha also uses scripture to walk through the errors in some of our thinking, and to embolden us to live a whole and holy life.

My favorite thing about this book, and really the reason I think you might want to get ahold of it, is the sheer vulnerability of the author. In the “Christian” world, vulnerability is not always easy. Admitting faults and shortcomings, is not an easy thing to do. I try to be as honest as I can, but often find myself falling short of full vulnerability. I think that we need more of that in our lives. There is nothing more refreshing than having an honest conversation with other women about real life issues. Sadly, us women don’t often have those conversations.

I really hope you will check out this book and share it with all your girlfriends. I love this book so much that I will be giving away a copy of More for Mom on my Facebook page. Click here to enter.
