Grumpy Mom Takes a Holiday

Say Goodbye to Stressed, Tired, and Anxious, and Say Hello to Renewed Joy in Motherhood

De: Valerie Woerner, Jennifer Dukes Lee - foreword

Narrado por: Marguerite Gavin

Hope for every mom who needs an escape - not from motherhood, but from the things stealing your joy

Motherhood often looks like bottomless piles of laundry; a sink full of dishes; sleepless nights; and unshowered, nonstop, endless days. If that's all there is, then no wonder "Grumpy Mom" sometimes sneaks into your heart and home.

If you can relate, you're in good company - Valerie Woerner gets it and has experienced Grumpy Mom more often than she'd care to admit. In Grumpy Mom Takes a Holiday, Valerie shares what she's learned so far about sending Grumpy Mom packing and embracing a joyful, intentional motherhood that is so much better than you thought possible.

As you journey with Valerie, you'll be inspired and equipped to find energy in the most unlikely places, pursue your own dreams, be set free from mom guilt, feel content despite unfinished to-do lists, spend purposeful time with God amid the daily chaos, and discover more joyous moments of motherhood.

So take a holiday from Grumpy Mom, and enjoy life as the mom God made you to be.

Loved it

All my children are in their teens and I even have young adults and had to adjust some of the topics but overall I got the message.

Thinks of almost everything

Great writing. The narrator was the wrong choice. Was very distracting for the first half of the book. I think I need to get a hard copy. Probably for the best anyways. I think the nuggets she shares would go well as a daily devotional.

What my tired momma heart needed

This is for sure a hidden gem and just what my tired and grumpy mom heart needed. Valerie was able to share my own thoughts with such clarity. Praise the Lord Jesus for this book and the truth in it to walk away from our own selfish self to embrace the abundant life God has for us in the thick and thin of motherhood! Well done!

Amazing Content - Engaging Narrator

I’ve listened to this book numerous times, both during my highs and lows. It always offers something relevant to whatever I’m going through. I admire the author, and personally, I really enjoyed the narrator. I don’t understand the criticism it’s received.

Great book!

I really loved the book! it is challenging and really practical. Great advice for all the Mamas who wants to leave godly!

Great content, but I struggled with the narration.

Great content. I really enjoyed the author's perspective and writing, but I really struggled with the narration. speeding it up to x1.10 actually helped in that department. I'd probably buy a secondhand physical copy if I came across one, just so I could go back through and take notes. Great read for Christian moms who are looking for the joy in parenting amidst the grumpy moments.

Love this!

This book is so refreshing as a Christian. I often begin to read Christian based books, especially in regards to mommas right now. I am sometimes disappointed because they end up lacking Biblical advice, and more so that mommas advice. The scriptures referenced are spot on as encouraging or gut punching. I love the prayers! “Clipped” each of them so I can reference. Thank you for something we all need to hear and fully understand.

Recommend to every mom

loved this book and how relatable it was while still sharing true helpfulness in our perspectives of life and raising kids.

Grumpy No More

Every mother should read or listen to this book. I am half tempted to listen to it every day. It has grounded me and settled my soul in a way I will never be able to thank Valerie. This book is absolutely life giving! I will be buying it and sharing it with all the mothers in my life!

Loved it!!

I learned so much!! I've been putting in practice some of the things and wow they worked!!! bye bye grumpy mama
