The Mothers of Reinvention Book Review & Giveaway - A Mom's Take

Book Description
Since we launched our show “Jen and Barb, Mom Life” more than four years ago, the number one question moms have asked us is, “How did you guys do that?” The subtext was not about producing and hosting an award-winning web series, but did we reinvent ourselves, especially given our roles as mothers, wives, and career women? Over and over, moms confided in us, sharing their frustrations, fears, and dreams. How could it be that so many of us who had always dreamed of having a family were feeling like something was missing?

What was a mom to do? REINVENT!

Through the journey of our own reinventions, we discovered the Mom Secret: The more satisfied you are with yourself, the better you can deal with the chaos that surrounds you, the better role model you will be, and the better off your entire family will be! This is not a luxury. This is a necessity.

In The Mothers of Reinvention, Jen and Barb share their steps to help you realize your full potential as a woman while still maintaining your joy as a mom and/or wife. Whether you’re a new mother, a mother of school-age children, or an empty nester, Jen’s and Barb’s personal stories, in addition to accounts from other women who have also reinvented, will engage, inspire, and motivate. Every mother deserves passion outside her family, and The Mothers ofReinvention will help you discover what that means for you!

This was the perfect book for me to read during this time in my life. I am a stay-at-home with young children and definitely have times where I feel unfulfilled or struggle with understanding who I have become since becoming a mom. This book does a fantastic job explaining the importance of taking care of yourself and spending time doing something you are passionate about. When you feel happy and fulfilled, you will be a better mother and wife to your family. It can be as something as small as making time in your schedule to exercise or joining a book club to as big as starting your own business. Although I thought it would be, this book is not telling you to be selfish and spend less time with you family. I’m glad they talk about how important your role as a mother and wife are, and how your relationships are still just as important. This is just a really great book to read for every mother no matter how young or small to help you feel like you are not alone out there, and there are plenty of other women whom you can relate to. This book helps you really examine who you are, and gives great advice and steps to help you add happiness to your life.
