MOMumental [Libby eBook] : Adventures in the Messy Art of Raising a Family. Hachette Nashville, 2012. Format: OverDrive OverDrive Read. Women's Issues. HTML:<br /> Celebrating the joyous art of being a mother, <i>MOMumental</i> offers an inspiring, honest, and infectiously humorous look at the perils and pleasures of raising a family in the real world.<br /> Once a devout believer in the myth of the perfect mother, author Jennifer Grant now has a more realistic yet still upbeat view of parenting and families. Instead of focusing on creating a conflict-free home, raising picture-perfect kids, and being an ideal mother, Grant offers a wiser and more down-to-earth way to love your children that makes room for mistakes and imperfections. She says, "I share stories about family life and how I've come to appreciate the mess of it. I am grateful for my own happy, idiosyncratic, and imperfect family."<br /> <i>MOMumental</i> is one mother's account of the unpredictable, creative, sometimes hilarious, and always rewarding process of raising a family. It's filled with funny and poignant stories from her everyday life-a life that mothers everywhere can identify with.<br /> MOMumental is a book about parenting, family, and intentional relationships for readers who normally avoid such fare like an overzealous street evangelist. (Raises hand.) Its wit and wisdom completely enraptured me. A delightful and surprising gift to us all.<br /> Cathleen Falsani<br /> award-winning journalist and author<br />.
