MY REVIEW

I absolutely love Hope for Moms: It’s Tough Out There, But So Are You as this book is a hand book of sorts that is not only perfection for new moms but also for seasoned moms like myself. It’s no secret that being a parent is the most important and rewarding job that a person can have and it’s also normal for everyone to question whether they are doing a good enough job at times too. That is what I love about this book as it made me realize that I am not alone and that it is completely normal to feel doubtful at times. In this book you will find the perfect guide for moms that will not only help you through there good times but also the challenging times too. I especially love the authors writing style and her sense of humor as she makes it easy to read all while making me feel better about my mom making decisions and adventures. If you are having parenting challenges as a mom, like myself at times…….. this book is for you. It also makes the perfect gift for new moms too and I so wish this had been around for my first child as it would have been the perfect read for me and beneficial in so many ways. I will be grabbing a copy to add to my daughter baby shower gift basket when she has her first child. She will truly love this one as much as I do.
