Books That Make Me A Better Mom

my TOP TEN favorite parenting books… in no particular order

I try really hard to ‘be a good mom’… but on my best day I’m still just a broken women trying to remain patient, be creative, set a healthy example for my children and maintain sanity all whilst I attempt to keep up with the laundry and make dinner.  Of course the bible has been a tremendous resource in our adventure of teaching, training, raising and parenting our kiddies.  In addition to the Bible I’ve found a few books [below] that have been great assets in navigating the world of motherhood.  I’d love to get your input if you’ve read these books and hear what you’re reading now and what tools have helped you along the way!





















What’s your fave parenting book?

Great list, Codie! My recent favorites include Have a New Kid by Friday. (forces the issue of making changes as a parent to gain positive changes in the kiddos), and Bringing up Girls.

well, this isn't really in line with all of your exceptionally responsible christian parenting book choices, BUT i just finished reading a book called the Glass Castle (it's a true story) and i have been pondering it for weeks now. i can't describe it, her parents were really something else, but it sure has made me want to be a better mother and inspired me in a strange way. pick it up if you have time, it'll be a fast read. love you Cojo! *be warned, it's not a christian book, foul language is present...sorry :-(
