Fit to Burst: Abundance, Mayhem, and the Joys of Motherhood by Rachel Jankovic

3.0

3.5 stars. I didn't like this book as much as I liked Loving the Little Years, which was very nearly a 5 star from me. This just didn't... Read the same. She deviated from a lot of the super practical - but spiritually rooted! - issues that she worked with and went off into murky, big picture waters. I still highlighted a bit and found pieces of wisdom here and there, but whereas after finishing each chapter of Loving the Little Years, I was sharing what I had learned with my husband, I don't think there is one major takeaway from this whole book I shared with him. Still worth reading, there were a handful of delightful chapters, but just not as good as her first book.
