What Every Mom Needs (A Zondervan Review)

It's not easy being a Mom. Yes it is very rewarding but there are days when you throw your hands up in despair....those down days. What Every Mom Needs is that book you should pick up to get things into perspective and help you learn that 'being a great Mom and a person in your own right go hand in hand'.


Basing this book on research studies and surveys, Elisa Morgan and Carol Kuykendall deal with six primary needs every Mommy has...

1. Identity- The 'I want to find "Me" again' need
2. Growth- The ' I want space to develop "Me" ' need
3. Relationship- The 'I want someone to understand me' need
4. Help- The 'I want help!' need
5. Perspective- The 'I want to focus on what matters' need and
6. Hope- The 'I want to find deeper meaning in life' need

There was so much in it that I could relate to. The first page I turned to hit that nail on the head, with the 'Mom What Do You Need Most' list. Yes I would love....

• A nap (who wouldn't!)
• Two more arms
• More of me
• Patience and
• Balance

(Mind you...there are another fifteen points on that list!)

What Every Mom Needs is filled with great advice, encouragement, Mommy resources and humor! There are even portions in the book that help you sit down, introspect, jot down your thoughts and then sit back and look at things from the big picture.

I would recommend this as one of those pass on books in your Mommy circle of friends.
