Of Mess and Moxie by Jen Hatmaker -- my REVIEW

Have you ever read a book and wanted to be best friends with the author?  After reading this book I would love to have Jen Hatmaker in my life. I have SO enjoyed this book that I didn't want it to come to an end! :)

This book, Of Mess and Moxie, is a wonderful book for women to read :)  I am 47 and have 3 kids--I felt like this book reflected or maybe even validated parts of my life. It is a hilarious read, a touching read, a thought-provoking read.  From when I started it and read the introduction (in my car in a parking lot, waiting for a child) -- which made me tear up at points-- to parts that I read on an airplane and couldn't keep from laughing out loud!

The book's chapter titles give you an idea of the contents...from "Beauty, Food, Fun, and Naps," to "Sanctuary" to "Doldrums" to "My Soul Mate Netflix"-- it is entertaining, thoughtful, and just plain fun to read!

Oohh, "forgiveness school" -- who doesn't need those good reminders? And oh so much more.  The book is sprinkled with hilarious lists, such as "How to find a missing child: 1)Prepare to take a shower or go to the bathroom 2)Shut door"  or "How to make your house look clean while you have been watching netflix all day, because you really, really neded to finish the series you're locked into" or "How to survive a public restroom with your preschooler" and more and more and more!  So many times while reading this book I was laughing out loud and reading these lists to anyone around me!  Several times, also, my eyes inadvertently were cloudy with tears (and I'm not a crying-type person!)

I really recommend this book.  Buy it for moms you know!  I have bought it for both of my sisters.  I will share my book with friends.  I will read it again (and I'm not a re-reader!)  Read it!!!  Buy it!!!  Enjoy it!!!
