A Refreshing Perspective on Motherhood
There's no doubt that motherhood is a struggle, but sometimes our attitudes, perspectives, and reactions make the struggle worse. Grumpy Mom Takes a Holiday turns our defaults on their head and shows us a better way to live and parent, a way you won't find by scrolling online or reading funny memes. This book is a call to dig deeper, to get to the root of the battles you face and send grumpy mom packing. If you're tired of negativity, guilt, and the constant uphill battle of not being enough or having enough, you'll be encouraged and refreshed by Val's mission: “To ensure that our kids will remember us as mommas with smiles on our faces—not because we're fake or phony, but because we're being continuously renewed by truth.” We are made for more than status quo and cultural norms; even in the mundanity and pressures of motherhood, we can live with abundance and joy.
Truly inspired book on motherhood
Grumpy Mom Takes A Holiday is a truly inspired book! I am just a year or two behind Valerie in my motherhood journey and I took away so much light and truth on how to be the best and most Godly mother I can be to my children no matter my struggles. Valerie is in the trenches with us young moms and shares her heart in a vulnerable and encouraging way to inspire all mothers to take steps toward having more peace, contentment and fulfillment in motherhood by banishing Grumpy Mom. Her advice is actionable, forthright and above all, practical. In the few short weeks since reading this book I have seen such a shift in how I view motherhood and therefore act as a mother to my children. I can't wait to return to it again and again as we all need grace and forgiveness, especially in motherhood.
Great Resource
I had the chance to read Grumpy Mom Takes a Holiday by Valerie Woerner I loved it. BUT, I have to be honest. When I first got this book, I thought, oh, I'm just going to look over it, and then review it. I think it's totally for moms of toddlers and won't apply. Then I started reading........ um, well, um. I got my toes stepped on a little bit. This book if for moms of all stages! Valerie takes on real issues of control, prayer, the sacrifice of parenting (or JOY of parenting!), seasons of life, quiet time, fellowship, friendship and so much more. Grumpy Mom Takes A Holiday not only explores the challenges of motherhood and marriage, but offers practical advice with solutions! I think what impressed me most was the wisdom Valerie shared from such a "younger mom" stage of life. Valerie shares in a real way with her own stories, failures and lessons along the way. I really appreciated Grumpy Mom Takes A Holiday and would highly recommend. Unless, you don't want to get your toes stepped on!!! I was given a free copy of Grumpy Mom Takes A Holiday for my honest review which I was happy to give.
