{My thoughts} – I was reading an article online and it suggested this book as a good book to read within it’s contents. I have always been a fan of sorts for Candace ever since she’d been aired as DJ on Full House. I later discovered her on a series called Make it or Break it and then she came back again in Fuller House.
Anyways – I decided I’d get the book and give it a read. It seemed like something I could maybe learn a little bit from. It reads more like a biography of her life then it does a how to type book. I was hoping to find some magically wisdom about how to be home with my kids and still make everything else work out. The main thing I took away from the book was that her love for God is what mainly leads her and helps her to balance everything that needs to be balanced.
I hadn’t known how much of a Christian she was when she was on Full House but she appeared to be an extreme Christian on Make it or Break it and I began to wonder if she was one in real life or if it was just for the show. As it would turn out she is a Christian and she isn’t afraid to share that with the world. She also has plenty of Bible verses listed within the book that helps to sway the reader towards her point of view.
If you want to read a short Biography about her and her family this is a great book to read for some of that information. This is also a great book to read if you are interested in learning more resources that can help to steer in a direction that can possibly help you to become closer to God, closer to your husband, closer to yourself, your family and friends.
I recommend this book for anyone looking for a light read about one’s relationship with God and how it led them down the path in which they are fulfilled and happy. It’s all about the choices that you choose to make, they can either help to life you up or drag you down. She shows who she is in both manners and it’s a really nice read, it shows that even though she is famous and well known that her life isn’t and hasn’t been as together as one would once have believed. It shows that she is definitely just like everyone else. She struggled to keep things together, she struggled to stay on the right path and she fully relies on God and her husband to help to lead her and their family down the paths that can lead to happiness.

Enjoyable and Encouraging Read. It is hard to find balance on all the demands and seasons of life. This was encouragement I needed.

A bit reminiscent of Reshaping it All, but good, practical book with strong Christian values - good bible and book references.

This was not my favorite.. very typical.. rah rah rah Christian living.. and this is how I manage it all.. with some Bible Verses thrown in. I truly want more for Christian women to be inspired by. It took me nearly all year to read it. Pleasant in tone is the most positive thing I can say and thoroughly Candace's personality. Of course, perhaps because I have been married for 25 years and have seven children.. there just wasn't much new information for me.

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this book! I didn’t expect Candace to be so open about her faith but she was and she shared it in a thoughtful way.

An encouraging read for all moms. Even though my life circumstances are different from the author's, I was encouraged in my journey for more balance. A good read!

Fantastic book. I think I'm going to buy a copy to read whenever I need some positive energy. I really enjoyed the tone of this book - instructional and motivational without being lectured to. I'm grateful for whatever spiritual push it was that caused me to pick this book up at the library. So much of this book spoke directly to me.

I picked this book up as a daily deal one day for my Kindle. I was expecting a typical self-help organizing book with checklists, anecdotes and maybe a few recipes thrown in. Instead it was a very thoughtful and philosophical discussion of what life's priorities should be and how, when you properly prioritize, everything falls into place. It was also partly autobiographical which I found interesting since Candace was a Hollywood child star who now is atypically grounded, conservative and family oriented. She relies heavily on biblical principles and even has very specific bible citations to support her approach. She does this without a heavy hand and with an understanding that her readers may all live very different and diverse lifestyles. I've followed her on social media for a while and always found her to be likable and I thought her book was enjoyable and promoted a healthy lifestyle in all ways -- physically, socially, emotionally and spiritually.
