40 Days to a Joyful Motherhood - Devotions and Coloring Book by Sarah Humphrey

{More about 40 Days to a Joyful Motherhood}

40 Days to a Joyful Motherhood: Devotions and Coloring Book to Nourish Mom (Abingdon Press, August 2016)
Nourishment for a mother’s soul through 40 days of devotion and . . . doodling!
Wouldn’t it be marvelous if mothering came with a concrete set of instructions—an easy recipe we could follow? Instead, motherhood challenges women to find their faith, their true selves, and their family through daily doses of trial and error. It is a brilliant and healing time of life that is full of joy, pain, and beauty with a small side of crisis (and humor). What mothers do not know, they learn. And through this lifelong process of learning, they nurture and care for the most precious gifts on earth: children. In a modern society where moms often have a full and busy plate, these 10 minute daily devotions focus on six key topics of motherhood:
—Self-acceptance
—Self-care
—Reconciling with grief, hope and expectations
—Generosity
—Presence
—Forgiveness
In addition to the devotions, these beautiful pages are adorned with handmade illustrations to help you refresh from long days or even occasional sleepless nights. So, grab your colors and a little quiet time for yourself while doodling at the kitchen table. You will be grateful you did!

My Thoughts:

I am a gramma now, way past having small children at home, but I found this devotional/coloring book to be very relaxing and encouraging. I didn't color all of the pages in the book as I know I will go back and spend more time coloring. I like the big illustrations, they weren't super intricate and I enjoyed the simpleness of them.
This would be a great baby gift for that expectant mom you may know.
Highly recommended!

 This is one of the pictures I colored. Big, and fun!
