{No More Perfect Moms} Perfect start to embracing imperfection

February 3, 2013 by Kristin Leave a Comment

I’ve been talking about this book that has helped transform my perspective. Now it’s available for anyone, and, really, every mom should read it! “No More Perfect Moms” by Jill Savage is now available! Plus you’re going to get all kinds of extra goodies {worth more than $100 and outlined below!} if you buy the book this week.

I’d say I feel like this book was written just for me, but as part of the book’s launch team, I’ve learned I’m not alone … in both craving perfection and wanting to rid my life of perfection! Plus my friends and I swap stories on a regular basis that remind me I’m not alone. Stay tuned this week because I have six fabulous guest posts lined up for you!

Since December, this launch team has been interacting in a private Facebook group that has been filled with real-life stories, prayer requests, advice, encouragement and conversation. Jill Savage has been active and real with those of us who are gaining so much insight for her.

I’m glad the book is officially out there. I know it’s going to help so many families. Also as part of the launch team, I wrote a review on Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com and Christianbook.com.

We run late because sometimes getting kids – or even a kid! – to move in a timely fashion is like herding cats. We clean up spills. Sickness interrupts our plan for the day. We have misunderstandings with the people we love most. The dishes fill the sink and the dirty clothes await their turn in the washer then the dryer.

Then while dealing with our daily lives, we start comparing and organizing and planning and expecting more than is realistically possible for ourselves, our husbands, our kids, and our friends.

This Perfection Infection, as Jill Savage calls it, needs to stop. Savage tells true tales that give readers practical advice on how to find freedom in reality while entrusting every detail of our lives to God. She discusses how to love your real life without perfect kids, bodies, marriages, friends, days and homes.

As a mom of two kids 5 and younger, I appreciated the way Jill Savage took real-life examples from her own mothering experience and stories friends have shared with her to help me remember I’m not the only mom who has tried too hard, reacted too emotionally, wondered what I should do, and struggled to let go.

If you’re a mom who has ever felt exhausted, stressed, anxious, overworked, insecure, unsure, or busy {OK, so, any mom, really …}, this book could be the perfect start to embracing your imperfect life.


Everyone loves a good investment…especially one that comes with a big bonus! This is one of those investments that you don’t want to miss!

Purchase Jill Savage’s new book “No More Perfect Moms” anytime today through Feb. 9 {online or at a store … and yes, electronic versions for the Kindle and Nook count too} and you’ll be given access to more than $100 worth of resources that will help you on your mothering journey — absolutely free!

About Me

Telling stories is my therapy and I love sharing them with friends on my porch.

The main characters in my stories are my entrepreneur husband, our ninth-grade girl who never forgets, our have-no-fear sixth-grade boy, and our joy-filled kindergarten girl. As we live out our stories, we seek God as the author of them all.

We are having fun — and some forced sibling love We are having fun — and some forced sibling love — at @wildernessresort in Wisconsin Dells. We’ve played at four water parks here since we arrived yesterday afternoon. 💦

Nothing like starting a road trip by finishing an Nothing like starting a road trip by finishing an @elinhilderbrand book. I’d held off reading “Winter in Paradise” because the premise that a father’s death exposes his secret life hits way too close to home. But, really, fiction books can be therapeutic. 

I appreciated the raw emotions of a wife, two brothers, and others learning of tragedy and processing the ripples of that moment. Of course, who doesn’t love a story set in the U.S. Virgin Islands? AND it’s this the first in a three-book series, and I’ve got the next two ready to go on my Kindle.

My kids had a yearbook signing party today. And ki My kids had a yearbook signing party today. And kids today don’t know how to sign yearbooks. Cate, my rising sophomore, says it’s because they have phones to take photos and text each other. She’s probably right. 

But the whole conversation and experience took me down memory lane. So much so, I got these yearbooks from my high school days off my bookshelf and read notes. Admittedly, I can’t remember a few people who proclaimed what a great friend I was and I never called some people who wanted to KIT — that’s Keep In Touch, kids — and left their phone numbers (and pager number in one instance!)! 🤣 

I also proceeded to text the three friends (well, really, five, because two girls married two guy friends of mine) with whom I do actually KIT. I have their numbers saved in my iPhone, thankfully. We have made grown-up memories together. We message and try to see each other. My husband knows their maiden names. 

Truly, how has it been 25 years since I graduated from Oldham County High School? I’m sitting on the porch now, rememebering how faithful God has been and thinking about how high school seems like a lifetime ago but also like yesterday. 💙

HAGS, everybody!

Living with a secret is all Eve Elliot knows. Her life unravels when she confesses to what she knows and there are ripple effects for her husband and two daughters. I thought I had it all figured out and then there was another surprise right at the end!

Well, COVID has changed our vacation plans. Honest Well, COVID has changed our vacation plans. Honestly, it’s hard to believe two-plus years later, and COVID is still interrupting all kinds of things. I know it’s a privilege to travel, but there’s still disappointment. Regardless, we can’t board a cruise ship in Canada on Monday to go to Alaska when my boy tested positive for COVID last night. (Yes, twice. 🤦🏻‍♀️)

But the real point of this post: we are regrouping and going to Wisconsin Dells next week. I’m excited to see somewhere new, even if it’s not what I’d been planning. Let’s be honest, the logistics to get to the cruise were already a lot, so maybe this closer-to-home trip is meant to be right now. 

Anyway, who has been to Wisconsin Dells area? We found a condo and have a list of things going, but I’m accepting all entertainment and restaurant recommendations.

I don’t really want to get into an abortion deba I don’t really want to get into an abortion debate here, but I will always champion the unborn, advocate for life, and support mothers and families. When I say “choose life,” I mean in and out of the womb. Choosing life begins with not having an abortion, but it continues to advocating for adoption, foster care, support for moms in lots of different situations. 

Western Kentucky is blessed with resources that do this, including @lifehousemurray in Murray and @_hopecenter in Mayfield. Those are great places to send your money and diapers, recommend to moms expecting or raising little ones, and keep in your prayers. 

If you know someone fostering, we have Partners In Care Foster Closet that offers clothes and supplies to western Kentucky foster families. No strings attached. 

I will forever be an open book about adoption, so I’ll be happy to talk about that with anyone who desires to know more. I even wrote a book about our adoption stories: bit.ly/PeaceInTheProcess #linkinbio 

My three kids have life because three women chose it for them. Those decisions changed my life for the better, and that’s only one piece of a much bigger story.

Here we are halfway through the year, and so far I Here we are halfway through the year, and so far I've read 40 books. That pace is well beyond my usual number for the year. Last year I read 62 total. I don't join challenges, plan what I'm going to read next, or even have a goal. But I still love keeping track. 

Some things to know about my reading habits: I like actual books, but I've been reading often on my waterproof Kindle Paperwhite. I introduced audiobooks into my life this year and especially enjoyed some memoirs while I was driving around while the kids were in school. I will quit books if I can't get into them, and I've done that a few times this year. I almost always have a book (or books, hello, Kindle) with me, you know, just in case I happen upon some time to read. Here are some other tips for making time for books and reading more.

Today #ontheblog I'm sharing the list of the 40 books I've read so far this year. #linkinbio What else do I need to read this year?
