If Mama Ain't Happy by Rachel Norman Book Review and Giveaway

 Being a mom can be difficult and then add to the mix everything else! It can be stressful and tiring at times. We moms have a tendency to neglect everything we need on our quest to be a great mom, friend, servant of God, and wife. Rachel also is a homeschool mama and makes it even more real to me with what she shares. I don’t know about you but I wear myself ragged and rarely take time for myself physically, mentally, and even pushing my spiritual life deeper. Not only does it affect me but my family and those around me.

I noticed the authors name when I decided to read this book. She obviously said some things that were memorable to me. I have read some of Rachel Norman’s articles and I blog in the past. She has some very encouraging and practical advice for mom’s.

Honestly books like this aren’t my regular genre as they usually make me want to throw them across the room as they aren’t realistic and make me feel like I’m a complete failure and do everything wrong. Then this mama truly isn’t happy and the whole house knows. Rachel isn’t a lot of fluff and propaganda. She is honest and doesn’t beat around the bush. Ouch, as that can’t hurt. She does it in a way that is relatable and makes you laugh and even get teary eyed.

She goes over making life choices that are healthy in all areas of our lives. It’s okay to say no! She offers several tips, routines, and advice that are practical to help you mom. We compare our life to others. Man social media doesn’t just affect our kids but us too. Everyone looks happy, well mannered, and eats healthy meals that don’t come from a box. Then mama looks happy, and takes care of her health with eating and exercise. Not to mention she looks beautiful with her nice clothes, hair, and makeup. They travel and have a clean home! It makes me feel bad. I love her advice on the social media trap.

The book covers all kinds of topics from de-cluttering, pray and meditation, living within your means, eating well, resting, enjoying time with family, making life simple, and other great topics.
