I’m always one for improving on my mothering skills and with this book I’ve gotten some ideas for how to make some things more special and create memories in my children as they grow. The author knows that moms aren’t going to do all 52 ideas and that is fine, and some I couldn’t see myself agreeing with, but the others are so right on. Like to pray with the door open, the idea of this is that even though the children will come in and use you as a human jungle gym keep on praying and let them kn...more
I'm not yet a mom, but when the time comes, I'd want something like this book nearby. The writing drew me in from the first chapter, and the structure is created perfectly for busy moms. 52 easy things to remember in 52 short chapters (short enough to finish while baby's napping!).
The writing is honest, the suggestions doable, and the book's tone doesn't make you feel like you're the worst mom on earth and your children are doomed.
The first chapter echoes my sentiments, and is aptly first and fo...more

I was looking forward to this book because as a mother of 7 wonderful kids I know that no matter how hard I try there is always more I can do. I do feel spread awful thin sometimes and know that I can't always give each of my kids individually what they need from me. I love the way Angela lays this book out. She has 52 wonderful topics and ideas that give me as a parent something to shoot for. Some of them affirm me that I am doing something right. Some of them give me some great ideas to work o...more
An excellent book, short chapters for busy moms, but packed with helpful information. The author has combined practical advice with good spiritual wisdom to help moms reach the hearts of their children, no matter what ages are involved. I'll be adding this to my gift list for new parents!
This book is so good, and so inspiring!! Every mom should have it on their must read list!
52 very thought provoking and well written things. This should be a must read for moms.
Quick read! Practical things to do without the guilt. Loved it!
Very easy to read. The authors love for her kids is intoxicating. There are many easy little things we can do to make our little ones feel our love each and every day.
Love this book.
fantastic book! non-condeming and encouraging... really enjoyed this author's style and "voice" in her writing... easy to read... valuable lessons.
This is a great book. I highlighted a lot of stuff. I do wonder if maybe coming up with 52 things was too many tho. Some of these don't seem like things kids actually need from their moms. But overall great suggestions. I just hope I can remember all this.
Simple and easy to understand. Encourages me to keep improving as a mom!
Loved this!! Some things I do, some I do sometimes, and some I need to work on.
