Every mom does it.

We focus on “what could have been” or “what we wish we had” instead of finding joy and contentment in our real life, our real house, our real kids, our real husband, and our real circumstances.

While we’re looking for what we don’t have, we miss what we do have!

Then we compare our messy insides to other people’s cleaned up outsides.  Most of the time, we come up short in those unfair comparisons.

“I bet her marriage isn’t falling apart.”
“She’s so put together. I’m sure she doesn’t struggle with self-esteem.” 
“She speaks so quietly to her kids. I bet she never yells.”

We compare our real life to the masks that other moms wear. We fall short of the expectations we place on ourselves.

I believe it’s time to stop. Stop judging ourselves. Stop judging others.

It’s also time to start. Start seeing ourselves and others through God’s grace. Start celebrating who we are, not regretting who we aren’t.

Here at Hearts at Home we believe this is a message every mom needs to hear.  When the No More Perfect Moms book releases next week, we want to put it in the hands of every mom we can.

What’s the best way to do that?  Maximize her investment to the fullest!  In order to do that Hearts at Home and Moody Publishing have put together a package of resources of incredible value to moms.

So how does it work?
