4.0 out of 5 stars The Proverbs 31 Woman - Not as exhausting as you previously thought September 27, 2012

By Tami Q.

Format:Paperback

Being a mom isn't an easy job. I find myself worrying how I will manage my teenagers and a new baby when he arrives. Comparing myself to the Proverbs 31 woman, I definitely don't measure up.

I haven't been the perfect mom to my two oldest. I find that I've slacked off greatly in the departments of spiritual training and teaching responsibility. However, I couldn't be perfect even if I continued trying.

Reading Letting God of Supermom, the author impresses upon us that the passage isn't about just "one woman but every woman" meaning that the passages include a little bit for each woman depending on their role in life as either a stay at home mom, a work at home mom or work outside the home mom. So, maybe that means we don't have to do it all...

A mom isn't just a mom. She may also be a child of God, a wife, an employee, and so on. The book is divided up into sections of tips and advice for these various roles:

Faith
Family
Home
Health and Beauty
Balance
Working
While some of the information provided isn't new to me, it worked well with the new information to encourage me as a mom to do the things I know I should be doing -- prioritize -- and not be so hard on myself for what I choose to let go.

As a working mom, I look forward to referencing this book to make my life more manageable and get my parenting priorities of spiritual training and teaching responsibility met on a regular basis.

I can do this ... and so can you!

***Special thanks to Althea Thompson for sending me a review copy.***

4.0 out of 5 stars I recommend this book to every 'Super mom' out there! August 29, 2012

By Chari

Format:Paperback

Daisy, a mom of 5, has written a great book for all of us moms out there who feel we have to do it all! She touches on subjects such as praying for and with your family, spending time with your husband, healthy eating for your family, your finances, and much more! Her theme throughout the book is to ASK FOR HELP, which some of us find it very hard to do. God put us here to help one another, so we should seek each other out and accept help! In each chapter she offers tips and apps for your mobile devices to help along too! This is a wonderful book and I recommend it to all moms and moms to be out there!

Blessings to you Daisy!
