This is a review for the self-help book A Simpler Motherhood: Curating Contentment, Savoring Slow, and Making Room for What Matters Most (Tips for Moms, Simplify Parenting, School-Age Children) which I received in exchange for this review.
As a mom if I could figure out how to live a simpler life that would be a Godsend. No, matter what I do things become more and more complicated. I either find myself screaming at everyone or wanting to sleep all day which leads to DEPRESSION. I fight so hard to not sleep into.
Finally I decided to take some time for me. I picked up my copy of A Simpler Motherhood: Curating Contentment, Savoring Slow, and Making Room for What Matters Most and went to sit outside on the balcony.
I gave Charlie my phone and let him know not to bother me for a hour unless someone was dead or bleeding and needed to get to the hospital. I opened the book up and read all the praise for this book. The more I read the more I knew I wanted to read the book.
I read through the chapters and even though we should start at the beginning of the book I found Simpler Self Care and this chapter was calling to me and I knew this was were the Lord was leading me. I love how she reminds us that even though everything may not be perfect we still need to take time for ourselves. Even of it’s only 5 minutes of me time or a brisk walk around the block.
