I have followed Kristin for YEARS. This book was everything cozy, delicious, and inspiring. There are so many recipes that I actually want to try and many reflections and tips that have inspired me to grow as a wife and mama. Loved this book! Plus, the photographs are gorgeous, and I love that it will make a great coffee table book! :)

I’ve loved Kristin for years, so I had to get her book! The photos were absolutely beautiful, and I can’t wait to try some of these recipes! The anecdotes weren’t as detailed or profound as I would have liked, but this is a very beautiful coffee table/kitchen counter book & I’m glad I read it! 🌿🍞🌼🤍

I found this book by Kristin Johns so inspirational this week! 🌸🪴🍞
🪴I married my husband this August and have been trying to get into the swing of being married, running our little home, and everything that comes with it for the last few months.
🪴I found Kristin’s advice and stories really inspirational and fun to listen to! She has everything from recipes and advice on organizing your home, to how to cultivate deeper intimacy in all your relationships and spend intentional time with loved ones. Plus, it takes a really easy to follow year-long path, giving you ideas for improvement and opportunities for greater joy each month.
🪴I would definitely recommend to any people in a similar position to what I’ve been going through, or anyone that what’s a cute read with some reset ideas!

This is a very lovely book!
Kristin talks about each season, sharing her own insights and stories. She has a few DIY projects that she loves to do such as bringing nature inside her home and using pieces as decoration. She has really great recipes that I want to tackle myself (definitely been wanting to make my own sourdough starter for one thing). She even shares stories around the recipes. I enjoyed learning about Kristin Johns, as I had never heard of her before (I'll have to check out her YouTube channel now).

This book was nice and the recipes look really delicious, but this is by no means a devotional or even "religious" book. I guess I went in expecting some mention of God during each month (each chapter is divided by the months of the year), but she only talks about God once and mentioned Scripture I think twice.

Definitely not a deal-breaker, but it would have been perfect to add in as a reminder for every season we go through, He is always with us. Not a bad read and I will try out some of the recipes I tagged.

Oh how I loved this book. Kristin is one of my most favorite influencers and I loved the creative format of this book - unlike anything I’ve ever read! The book is 12 chapters long, one for each month of the year. Each month has a recipe, home making tip, and an essay from Kristin about her life. It was cozy, special, and everything I’ve been wanting from her! Grab a copy. Cannot wait to make her sourdough cinnamon rolls!!!

[Catherine Clark · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 maybe? It was cute & sweet, as you’d expect from Kristin Johns, but there wasn’t as much content as I would’ve enjoyed. The idea of making a book to go through the seasons with different recipes & ideas for things to do/try each month was smart! Her stories were cute but not terribly profound. I liked it but I wouldn’t say you GOTTA GET IT….unless you’re a big fan of hers (which I am).

[Trish · Rating 1 out of 5]

Utter drivel. Content creator? Maybe, but nothing original so maybe it should be content re-creator. I’d never heard of her so I checked out her IG account. 70,000+ likes on a picture of her haircut? Wow, people.

Her content is about as interesting as a second grade math book.

[Brandi Burns · Rating 5 out of 5]

An easy read that keeps you interested with so much change in the type of reading. Gives you hope for life and helps excite you for the next season of life and different ideas for change in your own life.

[Catherine · Rating 5 out of 5]

Definitely the best influencer-written book I've read so far. Kristin is not only my favorite YouTube girly, but she is a very talented writer. The reader can feel her love and passion for food, coziness, and life in general through the pages.

[Caroline Thies · Rating 4 out of 5]

Such a great coffee table book, cookbook, and collection of anecdotes.

[Megan Arnesen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved reading all of Kristin’s stories! So many fun ideas and words of encouragement and positivity.

[Maggie Pace · Rating 4 out of 5]

Would be a great coffee table book! I enjoyed the book all in all. It was an easy read, and I enjoyed some of the recipes and activities she writes about.

[Kim McCoy · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5. The writing was nice but nothing amazingly profound. I saw several recipes I’d like to try though and the photos are beautiful.

[Emily Houston · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’m so glad Kristin wrote a book. I loved every page and can’t wait to come back to it in different seasons!

[Brooklynn · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a sweet, heartwarming book! This has GREAT recipes, inspo for home decor, crafts and parties and is so wholesome. It’s like a cozy blanket.

[Monica Rowe · Rating 5 out of 5]

Five stars, nothing more, nothing less!

[Nicole Lillie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’ve been reading this book each month throughout the year and making all the recipes and I’m so obsessed! I love Kristin Johns 🤍

[Chantille · Rating 4 out of 5]

As an 21 year old I would have loved this. As a 31 year old it doesn't seem like it's for my demographic. The recipes all look delicious though. I want to make Cece's gumbo.

[Aleah Larson · Rating 3 out of 5]

A lovely book to have on your coffee table for guests to flip through.

[Erika Edwards · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely adore Kristin, I surely adore this book. What I’ve always loved about Kristin is her ability to make life beautiful in every season, the brightest of springs and dark cozies of winter. She embraces each detail of life’s most sacred moments through her steadfast faith and love for intentionality. This book brings all of that to life in practical recipes and curated home making. Glad to carry of piece of her love for life in my home.
