The Velveteen Mommy

As a stay-at-home mom, Jenn Doucette enjoys the smallest excuse to get away from her beloved duties, even for an hour. She calls it "running away from home to find my marbles." Just about the time she threatens to superglue her kids' shoes to their perpetually sockless feet, she gets booted out of the house to find her marbles -- maybe to meet a friend at a coffee shop, browse at her favorite bookstore, or find restoration at a church retreat.

Whether you're a mom of toddlers or teens, you can probably identify. If you need a little change of pace, some comforting conversation, a sympathetic shoulder for a tear or two, and lots of laughter to lighten your load, you'll find it all within the covers of this book. The Velveteen Mommy can help every mother become Real again.

Endorsers:

"If you feel like a worn-out mommy who is getting loose in the joints, with her patience thinning and her energy level depleted, read this book. Jenn Doucette reminds all of us that loving and being loved is a priceless gift."
-- Carol Kent, Author, Founder and president of Speak Up Speaker Services

"I laughed and nodded my head in agreement and joy. The good news? This book will encourage and affirm you. The bad news? By the time all the kids sleep through the night, the eldest one gets his driver's license and sleep deprivation continues. Oh, well. Focus on the good news--the good news of The Velveteen Mommy."
-- Kendra Smiley, Author and Speaker
