Publisher's summary
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.

It's time to stop trying to be the perfect mom. You long to be the mom your kids need, but often you're convinced you come up short. The label "not enough" seems to be stamped across everything you do - and yet parenting is the one thing you want most to get right. What if the solution is simply to embrace the truth that you are not enough - but God is?

For mothers of young children, this audiobook is a lovely offering of hope, truth, freedom, wild grace, friendship, and the knowledge that they are not alone. Many moms have dreamed of life with children, and yet the reality seems far away from their dreams. Their hearts are committed, but their spirits are sagging. This audiobook is a coffee-talk from one woman who is still “figuring-it-out-in-the-mess” (Sarah Mae) and much-needed counsel from one who is older and wiser (Sally Clarkson).

Are you ever concerned that you don’t deserve to love and be loved because you are continually having to prove yourself? In You Are Beloved, Bobby Schuller shows you how to let go of these fears and put your trust in the One who sees you for who you really are. Here is an easy to follow, proven path to personal dignity for all those who think they are not good enough no matter how much they achieve. This path is illuminated by the truths that it is not about what you accomplish, but what has already been accomplished for you; not about what you have, but what has already been provided; and not about who others say you are, but who God says you are. Know that you are valued, cared for, and embraced. You Are Beloved will help you rebuild your life as a response to that assurance.

Interruptions: They're aggravating - sometimes infuriating. They make us want to tell people what we think of them. But how we handle interruptions actually tell us more about ourselves. The prophet Jonah's existence was interrupted by a call of God that would require a complete change of life. And it scared him enough to make him run in the opposite direction. Yet, what seemed to him to be an unnecessary and useless interruption was really an opportunity for Jonah to be involved in something the likes of which the Old Testament world had never seen before.

The transition from "married" to "married with children" can be tough. Before they know it, a once youthful and energetic married couple finds themselves in a minivan loaded with noisy kids and littered with Cheerios, crusty Sippy cups, banana peels, and missing library books. As much as you love your children and work hard to nurture and train them for the future, the challenges that come with parenthood can make the "for better or for worse" promise a hard one to honor.

The most important conversation you'll have. Why do so many of our conversations with one another lead to misunderstanding and hurt feelings? Brady Boyd turns to the example of Jesus Christ to show that the health of our conversations can be only as vibrant as the health of our interactions with God. As Proverbs says, "The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing" (Proverbs 12:18 niv).

Author Kerri Weems had let the pace and rhythm of her life get out of control. At first the consequences were only physical, but they quickly impacted her spiritual life. Since then, God has been teaching her to walk in time with him; he is teaching her to be led rather than driven. In this audiobook, she opens up her life and shares this journey with the listener. God's best for each of us is that we go the full distance of our race, and not just crawl exhausted across the finish line.

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!

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.

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 ❤️

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.
