Now onto this week's encouraging episode! I always love the opportunity to talk with Heidi St. John. She is so encouraging and inspirational...and downright funny! She has a knack for helping moms to see that the messiness of motherhood is NORMAL! We're not alone. Sometimes we forget to find the humor in the hard days. I'm really excited about Heidi's new book, Becoming Mom Strong: How to Fight with All That's in You for Your Family and Your Faith! This book is not only laced with her humor and wit, but the stories she shares are so real. I laughed my way through this book—because it's real life. Mom life is often filled with so many hilarious moments. (If you can't laugh at it, you'll just end up crying in the corner). It is crazy to think about what our kids are going up against these days in this culture. Heidi’s new book is a challenge to moms to rise up and be strong their faith — to be strong in their example to their kids and embrace motherhood. I can't wait to have you listen in to my conversation with Heidi.   BOOKS MENTIONED… Becoming MomStrong The Busy Homeschool Mom's Guide to Romance Already Gone  Becoming MomStrong Bible Study   LINKS TO OTHER THINGS MENTIONED… (See more details on the SHOW NOTES!)
