About the author

Patsy is a bookish woman who loves words and has a penchant for dark chocolate sorbet. Since spelling bees in grade school, childhood Scrabble games, right up to her current addiction with Words with Friends she has been known to spell it out, to say it like it is.

Much to her surprise Patsy has written a stack of books that continues to light her passion for the printed page. And nothing pleases her more than to share her faith through laughter and tears and to encourage others to flourish.

A former agoraphobic Patsy never imagined the expansive plans God had in mind for her. She just wanted to make it to her neighborhood grocery store and safely home again. Instead, for the past 35 years she has been traipsing throughout the U.S. and Canada, interspersed with trips to Israel and Africa and she has even spoken at the Pentagon for the Flag Officers Bible Study. Patsy has spoken to millions of women (and men) offering spiritual and emotional hope.

Patsy has written books in several genres including devotional, fiction, children’s, and gift offerings. She is one of the founding speakers at Women of Faith and trains people for the platform.

Patsy is the author of over 35 books best-selling books and currently lives in Franklin TN.

Some of the stories in this are cute and humourous in a relatable way. My biggest issue was that I wasn't expecting all the religious themes. No where on the covers of this book do I see that this notes it is a religious book, so I was taken aback to be blindsided by it.

This was a fun, easy read and is a great reminder that mom’s don’t have to be perfect.

[Chelsea Gunderson · Rating 1 out of 5]

Couldn’t even finish it. Too clichéd and religious for my taste. I’m sure the Karens and Barbaras of the world find it a hoot, but this seriously lacked any original thought. Shame.

Various Christian authors and columnists submitted stories about parenting. This book was okay. A few parts made me smile, but overall it was a little cliche and not that funny.
