Ladies, I know how hard it is to work, cook, clean house, do laundry, etc. The task seem never ending, you barely find a few minutes to your self. If this sounds like you; I cannot recommend this book high enough. Ms. Bernstein intricately combines biblical teachings from Psalms with taking care of your home in way you've never heard. She manages to encourage and uplift you no matter what your style of cleaning or schedule looks like. How? With grace and blessings from God. This book is easy to follow with many Tension Tamers. You'll find yourself going back to it time & again. I read her book while I was going through Infusions at the Hospital...I must say my spirits were lifted!

Better than I imagined
Confession time: I had procrastinated reading this book because I didn’t want to feel any more guilty than I already did! I was so wrong! Hilary does an amazing job of encouraging women through the many seasons of their lives. In the process, through scripture and inspiring quotes, she draws the reader closer to God and His plans for them. Highly recommend for all those who have the tendency to feel the tension of trying to do it all.
