About

Be the Mom You Always Wanted to Be

If we're honest with ourselves, almost every mom knows she can go from being kind to cranky in no time flat. When we're tired, busy, anxious, preoccupied--okay, so anytime, really--we tend to default to snapping and barking at the people we love best. But life doesn't have to be this way.

With grace and good humor, Becky Kopitzke shares how to tame the "momster" in all of us. Learn how to
· Sidestep the triggers that normally spark your angry responses
· Stop the bickering and fighting with just three family rules
· Enjoy your children more than you scold them
· And much more!

Packed with biblical wisdom and mom-tested tips, this book will help you reclaim true peace for your soul and your home.
