Publisher's summary

I was at a crossroads of my mommy-hood. As a child, I always planned on being an incredible mom, creating an environment where children thrive.

As I reviewed my present days, I felt like my life was commonplace and minute. My daily tasks seemed ordinary and repetitive. Where was the grander purpose in cleaning dishes and driving kids to soccer practice?

Quietly watching my friend Rebecca, I witnessed something different in her mothering. What kept her in good spirits each day? She displayed a quality I wanted. By the same token, she seemed to draw on an inner strength that I lacked. Finally, I had to ask. I never expected the journey that unfolded. A transformation of my vision.

A journey of discovery into the core of motherhood.

Inspiring and helpful read for time management and gratitude

This is a really great resource if you're a mom (or anyone) that struggles with time management. Really sets a new perspective on accomplishments and how to create time where there is none.
It also really promotes the importance of gratitude for yourself and your life in a way that isn't heavy handed.

Inspiring read for all moms!

After reading this book, I feel so validated in what I do and how much I do every day as a mom! Tired at the end (or middle) of the day with very few check marks on my to-do list. However, the invisible 5-minute tasks list is very long and and filled with check marks.

As Kate points out, many of the truly important elements of being a mom rarely make the to-do list. (snuggle a sad child, read a book with your kids, etc.) She shows a different way to look at what we accomplish each day and the immeasurable value it is in the lives of our families.
