A Fresh Perspective on Mothering: Mindset for Moms (and a Giveaway, too!)

The following post is by editor Kara Fleck.
First of all, I have to admit to some bias in this review: not only is Jamie C. Martin a friend of mine, she is also a mother I admire and look up to. My copy of her first book, Steady Days, is a well worn and rarely makes it back to the bookshelf. I am encouraged by her writing on Steady Mom and Simple Homeschool as well.
Not only that, there have been moments in my life where it was Jamie’s kindness and wisdom, either through a sentiment written on her blog Steady Mom or a through a word of encouragement exactly when I needed to hear it, that have buoyed my spirits or helped to turn a bad day around.
So, when Jamie announced that she had a new project in the works, something that expressed her heart for moms, I knew that it was going to be good.
I was wrong.
It is fantastic! (Judging by the reviews the book has been getting, I’m not the only one who thinks so.)
Mindset for Moms: From Mundane to Marvelous Thinking in Just 30 Days
Mindset for Moms begins with Jamie sharing about her own journey as a mom and how her personal evolution took her from wondering if motherhood and life with young children was to be endured to firmly believing it is her dream job and calling.
Her circumstances didn’t change, but her attitude did.
