Slow Down Book Review

Title: Slow Down

Author: Nichole

Genre: Christian, Nonfiction, Motherhood, Parenting, Children

Plot: During the hectic busyness of raising children, in this day and age especially, we often find ourselves rushing through beautiful moments or focused on trivial details or so scheduled with one activity after another that we blink and suddenly those adorable chubby babies are grown and heading off to college. And we're left with momentos, shadows of the past and memories.

In her book, mother of two Nichole Nordeman lets us know that we are not alone in the daily struggles of raising children, of dealing with headache after headache mixed in with sticky kisses, clinging hugs that end too soon and the sheer amazement of watching God shape and develope these beautiful,little people He gave us. Every day can be treasured if we slow down and taste each precious fleeting moment.

Likes/Dislikes: I loved the flow of the writing. I could connect with Nichole's parenting struggles and  her cry for more time is echoed with mine. I loved the journal spaces and the questions were very thoughtful. The whole tone of the book read for new moms though, not necessarily moms of older children. I have a three and one year old so I'm right in the hectic "Please just slow down and let me rest!" Moments right now but I'm certain I'll miss these days and I want to look back confident that I did my best and gave my girls plenty of time and attention, not just a clean house and cooked food.

Rating: G - all ages. Highly recommended.
