Mamas, this read WILL take you on an emotional rollercoaster. You will feel happy, sad, angry and scared. You will go through the journey with the author as she battles cancer while remaining the honest, blunt, funny, and loving mother that she seems to be.
This pick is not for the faint of heart but I truly came out a better human and mother after reading this one.
4.“The Magic of Motherhood” by Ashlee Gadd
Genre: Non-Fiction
In this collection of essays, Ashlee Gadd explores the multifaceted experience of motherhood. “The Magic of Motherhood” is a heartfelt and honest portrayal of the challenges and joys of raising children.
I highly recommend this pick for the mom who is feeling slightly overwhelmed and looking for something a bit lighter and relateable.
The writers are so honest and vulnerable in these essays, sharing things that most mothers probably think but are too worried about judgement to open up to others. Reading this book, I felt my thoughts and feeling being validated each step of the way and for the first time in awhile felt as though I was being cheered on by a group of women who have no idea who I am!
5. “The Gift of an Ordinary Day” by Katrina Kenison
Genre: Memoir
In this thought-provoking memoir, Katrina Kenison beautifully captures the transformative journey of motherhood. “The Gift of an Ordinary Day” explores the highs and lows of parenting, the beauty found in everyday moments, and the profound love that makes it all worthwhile.
This memoir is a reminder that nothing is ever perfect, and that our lives don’t always unfold or work according to plan. This book has also served as a reminder to cherish the small moments of motherhood as it is all flying by at the speed of light.
A perfect read to add to our Valentine’s Day booklist in order to reflect on the extraordinary beauty of ordinary days.
