Resumen del Editor

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.

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!

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.

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.

Loved it!!

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

Great points to take away

I started this book without reading the description. It was different than I expected and at first I didn’t think I’d like it but I got some really good key points to take away and use in my real life. I’m glad I read it!

Moms of Little Need This!

I stumbled across this book and it was seriously life changing. Not like big move across the country life changing, but multiple little “Aha” moments that made huge differences in my life as a mom.

If you’re a mom especially of small children and feel like you’re in the trenches with no end in sight or If you feel like you’ve dreamt of being a mom your whole life, but now here you are losing your mind every single day. GET. THIS. BOOK!

It is so relatable that I often felt like she was talking about my life specifically! It made me feel not alone and like there was hope and it could change immediately. I love that she includes religion in this without it feeling too much, unattainable or confusing.

The person reading it had a comforting voice. The chapters on the app didn’t necessarily match up with the reader, but that didn’t bother me a ton.

I highly recommend this book. It was easy to listen to, relatable and had quick & easy actions that you can implement immediately! I hope this helps other moms as much as it did me.

Great read for moms with littles

This book has been very encouraging! So many great points however the narrating voice is really hard to listen to. My friend said the same thing and it looks like other people in the comments agree. It doesn’t match what I would picture the author to sound like. I’d recommend moms buy a physical copy because this is wonderful advice from the author ❤️

Very relatable!

Love this book! Highly recommend this book. The author really puts life and parenting in perspective.

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.
