My Review:
 I'm going to tell you parenting a toddler is NOT an easy task. Some days well most days I want to tear my hair out and run far away and hide under a rock. I know that if it wasn't for God I would have Never made it through 3 sets of terrible twos and I am now on the 4th and final set. Yes! we had so much fun the first time we added three more to it.  And I'm going to tell you this last child has been a doozy. He hasn't been an easy child at all. So I guess we are going to go out with a bang.

 The author has jammed packed this book full of advice and know how that she has learned along the way through trial and error. Relying on the one and only Saviour is a truth that we all can live with. And not only has she shared parenting wisdom she even shares things that we moms all need to acquire in our lives and marriages. Time with our spouse and trying to rekindle the romance.
