====================
\nWhen I was a much younger mom with much younger children, I was insecure in my parenting, like most new moms are. You worry that you’re not doing something a certain way and that it will negatively affect your children. Luckily for me, I was thrown into the deep end and it was sink or swim time and I’m happy to report that my children are none the worse for it. However, back then, I would have welcomed a book such as this one. Filled with a transparency that made me smile, these two ladies don’t claim to know it all or to be perfect parents. They share their practical insights and encourage all of us to be the best moms that we can be. I will mention that this is a Christian book and has quite a few religious insights, so if that’s not your thing, you’re going to want to give this one a pass. If it is your thing or you know a new mom that might enjoy this, add it to your wish list.<\/p>\n
