The Magic of Motherhood

The Good Stuff, the Hard Stuff, and Everything In Between

About this book

This book is a love letter to mothers everywhere. Discover a beautiful reminder of your identity, both as a woman and a mother.

Are you an imperfect, trying-her-best mom? If you're stressed from overreading parenting advice, The Magic of Motherhood is the calming antidote you need. Ashlee Gadd and the writers behind the popular blog Coffee + Crumbs will help you see that you aren't alone and give you the words of encouragement you need to keep going. 

Motherhood. It flipped your world upside down in the most magical way. Who knew you could ever love and be loved this much? But it can also feel overwhelming and isolating. Your emotions swing between joy and uncertainty, contentment and anxiety, laughter and tears. Meanwhile, you secretly wonder, “Am I the only one who feels this way?”

Rest assured: you, Momma, are not alone.

The Magic of Motherhood is a curated collection of honest stories weaving together the love, joy, and magnificent heartache of motherhood. Instead of offering advice, the writers offer something even better: their hearts. You'll find heartwarming stories about:

  • Identity
  • Adoption
  • Body image
  • Miscarriage
  • Friendship
  • Faith
  • And more

 

After reading The Magic of Motherhood you will:

  • Find joy in both beauty and mess
  • Discover a renewed strength and sisterhood
  • Be reassured that they are not alone
  • Want to gift this book to all your friends on Mother's Day, birthdays, baby showers, National Best Friend Day, and other holidays

 

This is a book about tiny miracles, answered prayers, and finding grace in the holy work of raising children. It's about the magic that happens between calm and chaos, the joy that can be found in both beauty and mess, and the valuable lessons we learn about ourselves in between cups of reheated coffee and kitchen tables covered in crumbs. Whether you are a brand-new mom or a bit more seasoned, The Magic of Motherhood will help you find the solidarity, comfort, and encouragement you need to be the mother God created you to be.
