It took me a while to get used to the choppy format. It wasn't until about halfway through the book that I realized this is a series of blog posts, not a memoir as I expected, from the author, who is a pastor's wife and mother of 4. Would have been helpful if the different posts had had headings with the dates to make it easier to follow. There are some heart-warming moments, some laugh out loud moments, and some moments when you wonder, "How does she do it?" Content is a 4 star, format is a 2 star from me. So, averages out to 3 stars.

This book (a collection of the author's blog posts) is authentic & humorous; full of stories of daily life with kids.
