For the Family

Moms, have you been hoodwinked??

Psst…

want to know the secret for being a great mom?

Think she keeps house like June Cleaver, cooks like a Food Network star, and actually does all of the things she pins to her Pinterest boards? Oh…and all while calmly raising her kids without ever raising her voice? Yeah….right.

I canNOT believe this day if finally here! After almost two years since this book started as an idea in our minds and after hours and hours of pouring our hearts into every word, my good friend Karen Ehman and I are absolutely thrilled to share a resource that we believe is a game-changer for moms: Hoodwinked: Ten Myths Moms Believe & Why We All Need to Knock It Off!

We have had ENOUGH of the misconceptions of motherhood!!!

Myths such as: “The way I mother is the right (and only) way,” “Motherhood is natural, easy, and instinctive,” or “My child’s bad choice means I’m a bad mom.” These myths leave moms hoodwinked and sometimes even heartbroken.

Hoodwinked Cover 2In our straightforward yet encouraging “we’ve been there” style, we enable mothers to

-identify the ten myths of motherhood
-replace the lies with the truth of what God says
-forge healthy, supportive relationships with other moms of all ages and stages
-confidently embrace the calling of motherhood as they care for their families in their own unique way
Ultimately, Hoodwinked equips mothers to stop searching for the secret and develop and embrace their relationships instead- with their kids, other mothers, and most importantly, with God.

    The thing I love about being a mom is having a good relationship with my children so that now that they’re grown, we are closer than ever.

    I love being a mom because I get to spend time with the greatest kids ever! 🙂

    I love being a mom. It is the earliest wish that I could ever remember having. I didn’t know what I wanted to be when I grew up, I only knew that I wanted to be a mom!

    Right now what I love being about a mom is watching the Lord work in my teen and young adult children’s lives.

    I love watching their own distinct personalities emerge and how God uses that as He draws them to Himself.

    I love seeing my kids learning and growing. My dream as a child was to grow up and be a mom. It is by far, the best job I’ve ever had( and hardest)!

    I love being able to invest in the next generation. God has blessed me richly with my three children.

    Being a mom has helped me understand, in a way that I never understood before, how much God truly and unconditionally loves me. My relationship with my Heavenly Father changed so much for the better after I became a mother!
