5 Great Books to Gift Mom this Mothers Day

Still haven't found the perfect Mother's Day gift?  Well, there's still time to grab the perfect gift for Mom.

FaithWords has lots of books for moms of all ages.  Books that will inspire, touch and warm mom's heart.  Books make perfect gifts.  Whether your mom prefers ebooks, audible books or loves turning pages, FaithWords has a book your mom is sure to love.

Here are just a few of my favorites from the Spring 2018 slate.

First up is Joyce Meyer.  My friend, Tracey, introduced me to Meyer over a decade ago.   Meyer's personal story is one of overcoming and her new book, Living a Life You Love is very empowering.

Living a Life You Love by Joyce Meyer
#1 New York Times bestselling author Joyce Meyer explains how to love every part of your life in spite of life’s obstacles and challenges.

As many of you know my son was born with a severe speech deficit. I remember the first time I heard my kid sing aloud.  It was the sweetest sound I'd ever heard.  You see he received Speech Therapy for much of his childhood and I questioned God so many times.  Why?  Why my kid? What did I do? 

Hilary Yancey candidly shares her testimony in her book Forgiving God.  Her pain thrusts into anger and finally into forgiveness as she writes of her experiences parenting a child with a disability.  Hearing her voice in the audiobook is powerful!

Forgiving God by Hilary Yancey 
Restore and grow your faith in God as you read a young mother’s personal journey confronting and making peace with God after having a son born with a complex disability.
 


Before you ask why put a college girl's survival guide in a Mother's Day book roundup, let me explain.  I was watching the news last night and a segment aired about a student at a local college who brought her baby to class one day after she couldn't find a sitter.  The baby started to cry and her professor scooped the baby up in his arms and the baby was comforted. The professor and the young mother have since formed a bond.

There are thousands of young moms in college and the principles presented here apply to them as they would any other young lady, in my opinion.

A College Girl’s Survival Guide by Hanna Seymour 
A mentor to thousands of young college women provides a plan for success based on ten years of experience, inspiring illustrations, and Biblical principles.

























A Letter for Every Mother by Kara Lawler and Regan Long is such a beautiful book.  I always felt like my parenting experience was so unique and granted it was... to me... it was so nice to read the collection of letters to moms just like me.

The book is full of letters and surely your mom's story is buried in there somewhere.  I read some of the letters and was brought to tears as I thought of my mom, my grandmothers and some of the other moms in my life. 

The authors have written a heartwarming compilation of letters addressed to mothers from all walks of life, meant to celebrate, inspire, and uplift them on their parenting journey.


From one tearjerker to another.  La La Lovely by Trina McNeilly is another FaithWords that brought me to tears.

I was broken.  However, my faith in our Heavenly Father has given me a strength beyond anything I could have ever imagined. Creating a space for myself amidst the hell that was breaking in my life sustained me and made me the person I am today.  I am strong.  I am amazing.  I am.

This book invites readers to find their true identity and the love of God through beautiful photographs, essays, design tips, and practical advice for creating a place of belonging.

There you have it.  5 fab reads to gift to Mom this Mother's Day.  Which of these books do you think you would gift someone this Mother's Day?

Life is a Beach Giveaway Hop

Spring is in full swing.  The birds are singin'.  The pollen is falling and temps are FINALLY warming up.  So what better time time to start planning our Summer getaways. This year - as always - we are beach bound.  It's one of our fave places to visit given we only get to the beach once or twice a year.   Last year's visit to Cozumel was one for the record books. We stopped by this little restaurant and dined on grilled shrimp in a cabana right on the beach.   'Ohana also has a line of tequilas in flavors I had never seen before.  Tropical flavors such as coconut, mango and pina colada.  Hubby and I tried the 'Ohana peanut butter tequila.  The owner said folks either love it or hate it... we LOVED it!!! As I was sipping all I could think of was how good this peanut butter tequila would taste as a baste on my tequila wings.  It would be like a tequila satay wings type dish. * * * G I V E A W A Y * * * One lucky Three ...
