A Journal of Mothering My Daughter From Ages One to Seven

Herausgeber: Noble, Maria

Beschreibung

Learning on the Fly and Laughing Till I Cry follows reserved and practical Deb Preston's journey in parenting her creative and wildly-entertaining daughter from ages one to seven. Through deeply relatable, diary-like snapshots of parenting young children, the author artfully documents her transformation from unrealistic perfectionist to hopeless hot mess to even-keeled mother. At its core are Preston's most popular and heartfelt essays, loved and shared by thousands on her website and social media pages. Scattered between essays are shorter entries that don't necessarily hold a heartwarming truth but provide humor to which any parent can relate; these include ironic observations on motherhood, hysterical conversations with her child, complete failures ("No, the dog didn't eat Jesus! Please just put Jesus back in your heart!"), and more. This book's journal-style read both reflects and respects mothers' time and rhythm of life. And with every entry carefully crafted to inspire readers in motherhood, faith, and levity, mothers will find it impossible to pick just one favorite story. With its thoughtful introspection combined with gut-busting laughter, Learning on the Fly and Laughing Till I Cry is certain to remain one of the best books for moms for years to come.

Autor

Deb Preston is an author, editor, wife, mother, amateur gardener, and professional cheese lover. Originally from Iowa, she now lives just outside of San Antonio, Texas with her husband, daughter, unnecessarily loud beagle, and part-lion, part-calico kitty. Deb always wanted to be an author as a child, but fell back on a more stable career when she gained her BS in Health and Exercise Science at Oral Roberts University and her MA in Management and Leadership at Liberty University. However, she always felt called back to writing, as both a career and ministry. When her daughter was born, she yearned for an opportunity to laugh, cry, connect with, and encourage other moms in the same crazy boat. She launched her blog in 2017 to meet those needs and has been writing about parenthood, faith, and health ever since. You can find her writing on www.debpreston.com and its social media channels, on HerViewFromHome.com, or in any of her books.
