The Life Ready Woman by Shaunti Feldhahn & Robert Lewis Book Review

 This book has an interesting Christian perspective of how women should balance it all. With everything that is going on with me I can relate to the women that are stay at home moms that juggle parenting, cooking, cleaning, and in general being a homemaker. I can also identify with other roles as a woman: wife, sister, daughter, aunt, pet owner, landscaper, gardener, homeschooler, seamstress, etc. One has many many roles being a woman no matter if you hold a paying job or not. God has a direction for all of us. The scriptures are a road map to knowing your calling and purpose in life. With the additional insight from this book to apply to our lives we can gain a better understanding of what it is to be The Life Ready Woman in our times. Just make sure when reading this book you have the time to ponder it and see how it all applies to your own life.

About The Life Ready Woman from the press release:

Are you a ‘Doing it all’ or ‘Do what matters’ woman?

Whether a stay at home; or working mom, an airplane-hopping executive, an empty-nester caring for multiple generations or a single juggling high demands of career and personal life, today's fast-paced modern world leaves women gasping for balance. We as modern Christian women want to look to the Bible for guidance on how to manage our lives -- but because the world of women looks so different today than it did when the Bible was written, it is hard to find chapter and verse that seems to apply to our situation today.

Thankfully, God has given us exactly that timeless, unchanging guidance for how to find peace, clarity, and God's best for our lives once we know where to look! The Life Ready Woman: Thriving in a Do-It-All World, reveals a profound biblical roadmap for how each of us can find the abundant life we are longing for, rather than the stressful, torn, how-do-I-balance-it-all life we often feel like we are trying to keep up with today. Actually being a LifeReady Woman means that you are clear about your life, bold in your faith, and able to find God’s best for you, and the end result will be that you not only survive but thrive in our do-it-all world.

God has given every wonderfully unique woman different skills and abilities, different desires, and different temperaments -- and every woman around the planet and through the ages is certainly living in different circumstances. But no matter what a woman’s life looks like, the Bible says that God has an individual mission and plan that He’s carefully designed for each of us. And He wants us to find it. Starting January 2011, The Life Ready Woman and the Life Ready Woman Video Series will help every wonderfully unique woman to thrive as she identifies and courageously pursues God's unique design and callings for her. LifeReady Woman puts you on a roadmap to make decisions that will lead to relief, delight, and fulfillment instead of regret.

LTDchix Review and Giveaway

The people that know me well know that I am a mom that wouldn't trade motherhood for anything even with all the chaos and insanity of it all!! I have 4 kids! Two of which are rambunctious adventuresome boys (8 and 7 years old). The other two are a special needs, medically involved 5 year old daughter and a breastfed, pampered one year old daughter. I know hectic when I see it! So, when I was asked to review a t-shirt from LTDchix I jumped at the chance. I received a medium fitted Multi-Tasking Mom short sleeve t-shirt in Sherbert/White from the ladies at LTDchix to review.

Nina Frye and Cindi Schmitzer are very talented ladies that traded their working, paying jobs out in the corporate jungle for motherhood. LTDchix was born from the realization that the idea of a perfect motherhood was far from reality, that they had stepped into a very different kind of jungle, and loved every crazy moment of it! In their own words... "We came to a few conclusions that day. First: this was it. We were Living the Dream. Being a Mom really is tough sometimes, we’re faced fairly often with some pretty insane and chaotic situations, and WE LOVE IT! We wouldn’t trade it for the world!". I really couldn't have put it more beautifully myself! This is exactly how I feel!

The t-shirts on their website are illustrated with a very happy looking mom that is overwhelmed by some task/chore of daily mommy life. These are just too cute! I just wish all of the designs came in all the colors, styles, and sizes they have...not just a few to pick from. The t-shirts are made from 100 percent cotton and are very comfortable to wear. Moms in any situation can relate at some point in their lives to the LTDchix signature mom. I know I can!

Win it! Nina at LTDchix is generously giving one Laundry Mom t-shirt in short sleeve. You can choose a fitted style in lipstick/light pink or sherbert/white OR a loose style in light blue. The fitted is size S-XL and the loose is size S–2XL. Please note that fitted t-shirts run a size small.
