From the highest of highs to the lowest of lows, Dear Mama: 100 Letters of Encouragement for the Milestones of Motherhood is a collection of letters offering support, celebration, and empowerment to mothers for the big and small moments in motherhood. With letters for happy times like the first positive pregnancy test and holding your baby for the first time, to the heartbreaking moments of infertility and miscarriage, Dear Mama offers mothers the encouragement, comfort, and camaraderie that is so needed in the early years of motherhood.
Designed to be listened to again and again, the 100 letters in this book are like a hug from your best friend when you need it most, even if it's late at night and you're rocking a feverish baby in the dark.
Dear Mama: 100 Letters of Encouragement for the Milestones of Motherhood is a book every new mom should have, and makes a wonderful baby shower gift.

Why do moms find themselves settling for a depleted and frustrated existence when motherhood is truly one of the greatest gifts from God? Being a mom is one of the most important-yet-difficult roles a woman will ever fill. Deep in their hearts, many women believe they are failing their families, are emotionally anemic, and are utterly helpless to maintain their peace while raising kids. As a result, hearts and homes are constantly defeated by the "peace pirates" that are allowed to take away the security God paid for His children to have.

What do you do when the unthinkable happens? Elle Wright had an admittedly easy pregnancy - her scans went well, she and her baby were healthy throughout, and in May 2016, she and her husband welcomed their son, Teddy, into the world. Just a few hours after giving birth, they woke to find a nurse holding a cold and unresponsive Teddy, who had stopped breathing during the night. The happiest day of Elle's life had turned into every parent's worst nightmare, and she had to let her beautiful baby boy go.

Rachel used to be a mom who spent her days weary, anxious, and guilt laden. She had five kids in five years, lived on three different continents, and then was blindsided by a devastating health diagnosis. Neglecting her own physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional needs for so long—in an effort to be a selfless mother—had left her utterly depleted. And physically unwell. Then she began asking a question she’d never considered before: Could it be that taking good care of myself is not actually selfish, but maybe, just maybe, something a responsible adult does?

Raised in a turbulent home, Brittany Williams learned to use food as a coping mechanism to manage her feelings at a young age. When she was 14, a family member’s comment “no man will want you with a pudgy figure like that” forever changed the way she viewed her body and opened a door, new and alluring, into the world of self-loathing, self-punishment, and dieting. Told with Brittany’s unflagging honesty and trademark vulnerability, Dear Body describes the tensions of growing up in a body that often felt more like a traitor than a friend.

Motherhood summed up in 100 letters!
Laura summed up motherhood and helped me to re-live every moment of both of my children’s adventures thus far. This book resonates that you are not alone, and it’s OKAY and NORMAL to feel all the feels. This book was such an inspiration and gave me the permission I needed for all the moments that this motherhood brings. I can’t wait to read more of what the future of Laura’s kids bring to her books!

The Author prepares you for many different scenarios of motherhood and all the things that come along with it! Considering there will always be different outcomes, the Author does an amazing job, preparing you for what could happen, while reassuring you that whatever the outcome you are not alone There were many times where I thought “Yes, girl!” Because I had lived through that scenario myself.
This is a great book to read but also share with a mother who is in any part of there journey.

The lesson is: You're DEFINITELY Not Alone! :)
Laura Radniecki wrote a motherhood book that is both relatable, and uplifting! Each short, and easy chapter was like a gentle hug that reminds the listener/reader that you're not alone. While everyone's parenting journey is different, there are numerous milestones & pillars that are relatable to all. Laura broke down the early years of motherhood with reverence AND humor. The book was chronologically easy to follow, Marah Fairclough's voice was easy to listen to, and I found myself wishing this book was written a decade earlier when I was grasping at the internet for content that "felt like me". I can already foresee follow up editions of Dear Mama as the Author's own children grow! One thing is for sure, there is always so much to look forward to in the Motherhood Journey! Wonderful book, Laura!
