Definitely going to have to pick up a copy of this book.

It is so easy to get overwhelmed or feel like we must be an awful parent. It is good to step back and remember we are amazing. My mom taught me so much and probably doesn’t realize it. This post has given me a goal to let her know all the amazing things she has taught me as well as the other mom’s in my life.

Great post!

Taralyn, Saren sent me this post. What a wonderful plug for Motherhood Realized! And such a sweet redirection to my blog. I’m sorry I didn’t get to meet you in person last week! You are obviously a devoted mother with a very beautiful soul. And this is a wonderful space – where you are offering mothers all kinds of helpful information and ideas. Thank you for reading and for living what you believe. I totally agree: Mothers need mothers. And other mothers. 🙂 Blessings. You are doing so much good. xoxo

Being a mom is the hardest but most rewarding job I’ve ever had. My mom taught me things about cooking (and crafts that I no longer do but still know how.) My daughters recently took an interest in crocheting and I was able to pick right up where I left off a bajillion years ago!

I could only imagine what a mom of triplets could go through. I really don’t want to be anything like my mom and actually try not to be in every way. But I know she loved us regardless of the lack of anything else we had.

This seems like a book that every woman should have on her bookshelf to have at the ready when mothering issues arise and a confidence boost is needed.

I can’t say my mom was the type of mom I am at all. She was too busy with so many kids so she never really played. But she loves all of us and she taught me values that I carried on with my own kids.

I learned from my mom to always be there for my own children like she was there for me.

It’s funny you mentioned fairies. I was thinking of making a fairy garden this spring.

Boy, I could use a book like this right now. I’ve been struggling with my value as a mother lately. Thanks for sharing!

I think the best overall lesson I got from my Mom was that people are more important that things. I was never scolded for accidentally breaking anything no matter how dumb the reason.

This book sounds fantastic. I’ll have to check it out. I’m so lucky to have an amazing mother, and hope my kids feel the same way about me! LOL!

While I am not a mom myself, I have learned so much from my own mother on compassion and patience. She was truly the shoulder I cried on and the listening ear whenever I needed her. I hope I can be half as great to the others in my life. – Katy

I couldn’t agree with you more! I love my mom and the relationship that I have with her. I’m also loving the relationship that I have formed with my kids. Moms also need other moms to give each other support. we need each other. Great article. 🙂

This sounds like a wonderful book, and I love the idea of a fairy garden. My mom taught me many things, but the most important was unconditional love.

This looks very inspiring. I know I can use all the motherhood encouragement I can get some days.
