I’ve always loved to read. I read a lot and usually pretty fast. However, books like these, the Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff series, I really take my time and truly enjoy the inspirational messages they contain.
I’ve read many of them before but this one really came at a time that I felt that I needed extra support. You know those moments when you feel so overwhelmed with the job of being a wife and mother. Maybe the kids are acting up and you feel you’ve tried everything and they still aren’t happy. Or it might be that you are dealing with a lot of stressful issues and your temper is super short. I hate being that way. And when I am I know that I need to take a few moments to myself and just breathe.
Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff for Moms is one of the best books I’ve read lately. You know that all of us moms want to be the perfect mom. Our kids are always happy, dinner is always on the table at the right time, house is sparkling clean. Ummm, yeah, most of us probably fall short of that. But Kristine Carlson reminds us there is no such thing as a perfect mom and helps us to remember what is really important. Those little moments and triumphs that make us and our family smile. Each chapter is filled with inspirational stories and tips to make not only our family happier but also how to make us happier. You know the saying “If mama ain’t happy, nobody’s happy.” It’s true! Our attitudes often reflect how others act. So let’s nourish ourselves by reading the wonderful words of Mrs. Carlson and let our lights shine!
