Let's Get Real: Mount Laundrymore & My 1st Giveaway!!!

I knew it was there.  I'd been staring at it since Monday.  The pile kept growing taller and taller, and I just kept moving it.  Out of sight.  Out of mind...or something like that.

 Really, it was in the back of my mind and I just had other things that I either had to do or wanted to do and so yet again, the large, ever growing pile that was about to topple over and fall off its cliff just sat there.  Staring at me.  What you ask?  The laundry.  This particular pile probably made my Top 10 list of tallest laundry piles that has ever existed in our household:

Exhibit A...  

 I planned on folding it after Abbie went to bed and so I left it there.  On the table where it would stare at me so I wouldn't ignore it one more day.  That is until my dad called.  He happened to be nearby running some errands and asked if he could stop by.  Of course he can, but dangit that darn laundry.  What to do what to do....remember that I am not perfect and just leave it sitting out on the table as we tried to have a conversation around it?  Or hide it?  Well I did what any sensible person does when company is on its way and the house isn't spic and span....I hid it!  

But I wanted to share my real laundry pile with you, and it's hiding place so that the next time you come over you can totally call me out on it, open the door to my laundry area, and see my pile just waiting to be tended too :)

Now you see it....

Now you don't!

I'm real friends just like you.  Imperfections and all!  My breakfast dishes and dirty highchair tray sometimes sit for hours.  My laundry piles (we won't even talk about the to be ironed pile....we'll just nickname it "Too Be Ironed By the Year 2020 Pile) can sit for days, and I've never cleaned my windows since moving into our home over 3 years ago...gasp!  (Really that last one is not too hard to let go of for me.  I honestly don't care :)   

And speaking of not being perfect.....my copy of No More Perfect Moms just arrived in the mail!! 

 It's Jill Savages gift to us for being a part of her book review.  I'm so excited for each of you to have a chance to get one in less than 2 weeks!  That's right!  The week of February 4th is when it will be available and you can sign up here to be reminded of its release!

I absolutely cannot wait to see how God uses this book in women's lives!  

Blessings,

I'm Perfect. Aren't You?

A few weeks ago I shared with you that I was chosen to do a book review for Jill Savage's newest book "No More Perfect Moms."  Jill is the CEO of Hearts at Home, an amazing ministry that is all about encouraging and equipping moms in all seasons of life!  

I had the privilege of meeting Jill last summer at She Speaks.  I knew quite a bit about her since her ministry is based in my town, plus I know her daughter in law, but had never actually met her in person and introduced myself.  She is such an amazing women!  She has such an amazing heart and she blessed me so much at She Speaks by eating dinner with me one night!  

But back to the reason for this post..."No More Perfect Moms."  I can't even begin to describe how excited I am about this book!  I have read through the first few chapters so far and already have teared up many times.  I've felt a lot of judgement in my short time of being a mom:  judged about being a working mom when others thought I should stay at home, and even judged others about many things myself.  I am guilty.  Guilty of setting too high of expectations on myself and on others.  Guilty of thinking I knew better about something than another mom did.  Guilty of thinking my way was "the" way.  

Before I even knew Jill was working on this book God was breaking my heart on the matter.  He was revealing to me my hardened heart and helping me realize that I didn't appreciate being judged by others or having high expectations placed upon me, so why would I do the same thing to others?   He was helping me understand that it's sin.  Flat out wrong to judge another whether you think you know better or not.  It's time to break down our barriers and differences between one another ladies and start encouraging one another as women of God to be faithful to what He calls each of us to, and that might look differently for your family than mine.  

No More Perfect Moms will help you...

• Change your unrealistic expectations to realistic expectations in order to better manage everyday challenges.

• Give grace and love to your husband and children even in difficult family life circumstances.

• Increase your confidence when you resist the urge to compare your insides to other women's outsides.

• Discover the beauty of grace when you stop judging yourself and stop judging others.

• Find freedom from disappointment when you embrace your real family, your real challenges, and your real, but imperfect, life.

As we start the New Year friends I encourage you to check out Jill's book.  You will not be disappointed!  Don't buy it yet though!  You can read all about it here.  

Also, Jill has a FREE 31 day email challenge that starts on January 1st!  Visit this link to sign up now!  

Also, visit here to find out all the details about purchasing the book.  If you wait until February 4-9th when the book is released you will get lots of extra bonuses! 

Finally, would you please share this with your friends?  Whether it be this blog post or a direct link to the books website, if you have ever felt judged as a women, as a wife, or as a mother than don't you think many others have felt the same?  Please share this book with them too because each of our hearts need to be healed from the judgement by God's truth!

Blessings,

I'll be out for the rest of the week.  I'm enjoying a little time away with my family!  Be back soon!
