  1. I like that these books cover a wide variety of issues Moms face and that none seem super religious-based (I am religious, but don’t like when it’s the solution to everything). I’ve been dealing with a lot of different emotions and struggles over the last year and a couple of these books seem like they’d really help me!

  2. I am so excited to start reading all of the books on this list. I am especially interested in Listen Up! Hopefully these will help me with my parenting journey!

  3. I am adding a couple of these to my reading list. I can use ideas on how to destress and stress less
