One mom's humorous and candid memoir shows would-be supermoms how to create a realistically balanced family life without losing their minds.
Some of the choices we make for our children we question. Am I a bad mom? If I had done things differently, maybe they would have made smarter choices. Right? Do I feel guilty sometimes? Absolutely. Momumental takes in depth look into parenting, choices we make, learning to not judge ourselves so harshly or other moms. Sometimes the best way is to let the kids work it out for themselves and just be there to listen and help guide. Filled with many personal stories of Jennifer's life, her childhood and her own children, Momumental took me for a ride and I enjoyed every minute of it.

What is a good parent? We moms often set impossible standards for ourselves, and feel that we can never be “a good mom.” Or at least a good enough mom. Momumental was so encouraging to me as a mom. Jennifer Grant offers solid advice, not just on parenting but on how to be intentional about building a family culture. She writes honestly about her own mistakes, her own perfectionism, and how her own family of origin impacted her. She also tells beautiful stories about her family that made me laugh and cry. I’m recommending this book who anyone who is raising children—which is a messy but beautiful art.
