It's a kind of heartwarming book with a bunch of inspiring short contents. Some stories had made me laughed & cried. This book tells everything about a pure love of mom based on daily life point of view.
It consists of an intensive group of short stories out from people's daily life.. Each story adds something valuable to your soul.. They are mainly about situations between mothers and kids, delivered in such a way that motherhood is the best job on earth.
I enjoyed reading it.. I enjoyed quoting every piece of wisdom there..
Loved this book. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, and it may even inspire you to be a better mother. Highly recommend for moms of all ages.
Again well put together and a great look into one of the most prestigious places a woman can assume. You can tell chicken soup cares about what they put out there.
