Summary: Sometimes I Feel Like Running Away from Home...
Review: I am glad I was reading this book in the mornings because it gave me a lift for the entire day. I was given permission to fall apart and ideas on how to pick myself up again. I loved the chapter about "How to be a Perfect Mother and Other Big Laughs". I just felt like I could get rid of all the Killer To-Do lists, say an occasional NO to the I SHOULDS and make peace with where I've been. There are many real life, creative suggestions presented in an inspirational context that is just a joy to read. I am so inspired I almost think I could write a book about it! I feel confident enough to tell my family to give me some space and get out of my face - to make time for me without being last on the list. I came to realize that if I don't devote some time and energy to feeding my soul I am not as much good to those around me that I am trying to take care of daily. I learned how to make my own quiet time and find my own space, even if it is just a big, comfy chair. This book is a real blessing to me and I really recommend it to other Moms or as a very nice gift for a Mom!

Review: This book is terrific! I found it at a garage sale, of all places, but am so grateful I bought it on impulse. For any Christian woman, or mother, this book resonates like few others. It is sassy, humorous, insightful, and right on target. It has been a book I have routinely reread. I found it especially helpful to get through the early years with my children. Hope she keeps writing!
