5.0

This is a book I've been recommending to all of my Christian mom friends!

I related a lot to Valerie! It seems like we have very similar personalities. I tabbed this book soooo many times!

Things that really, really stuck with me:

1. She had the courage to say that we as a culture (ESPECIALLY MOMS!!) get sooo offended so easily. She said that she refused to be! Love this! Life is stressful enough!

2. To be bored, gracefully. To get on the floor and play with your child no matter how boring it might be. To study them and see how they play, and how God made them. This is one lesson I need reminded of ever single day.

3. You are raising the next generation. The generation that will dictate how the world is run, how we live, what laws will be passed. You should be putting time and energy and love into them.

4. Your children are actually a gift from God, so treat them as such.

I actually have a TON more but this will get really long. I honestly want to go back a reread this already!
