The best book out there for hard-working mamas and their precious children!

Emily perfectly weaves the intricacies and complications that every motherhood brings with her own personal touch and it makes such a great story!

A beautiful tribute to mamas

From watching the idea of this book be born into the story it is today, it’s been an honor being along for the journey. I’m so impressed by how Emily is able to pull together the chaos of motherhood with littles into a sweet story that both kids and adults can learn from. The story is lovely and catchy, the illustrations are beautiful, and the activities are fun for the whole family. This is a memorable book that will always be relevant to its audience – mothers that are trying their best to be the best for everyone in their lives by doing all.the.things!

Honest, Sweet, Just Amazing!

When I saw this book was coming out not only did I immediately want to support the amazing author but even the concept I knew I HAD to have it and pre-ordered. I’m constantly feeling like I need more arms than I have to meet all the needs around me so this book came at the perfect time. As soon as I got it I read it by myself and it actually brought me to tears because of how beautifully written it is along with being raw and sweet. The extra activity book, stickers, and bookmark were also such a nice touch I wasn’t even expecting as part of the pre-order!
