Enjoy this excerpt from The Life is Too Short Collection, my new Mother’s Day book, and as part of a series running on KSL “Motherhood Matters” blog (see below).
Thank you so much, ladies, for your wonderful motherhood submissions for our “Life is Too Short” contest. This week’s winner was Jamie Black-Smith, see her post on our website.
I’m loving this celebration of motherhood and hope that you take a moment today to celebrate ALL you do as a mother—the good, the mundane, and the wow-did-I-learn-from-that!
Enjoy,
Connie
Latest review of The Life is Too Short Collection:
“Connie is right. There. I said it. She says it like it is. Being a Woman, a Wife, a Mom is H.A.R.D. We make it harder. Connie points out what we can do to help ourselves, make life easier and ourselves (thus everyone around us) happier. She even gives examples and does all of this with love and humor. I read it in like less than two hours front to back. I know I will want to read it again and again as well. I certainly will be singing its praises as it is an awesome book! One not to be missed!” Cami Checketts, Book Reviewer

Say When
In the movie “Regarding Henry,” a high-powered lawyer suffers a gunshot to the brain and afterward has to learn basic motor and life skills all over again. When he returns to work, the secretary pours him some tea and tells him to say when. As the milk is rising rapidly in the cup, she realizes the need to explain the concept and tells him, “When you’ve had enough, you say when.”
As parents, especially mothers, we need to do the same. A few months ago I experienced a crazy week filled with after school activities, homework projects, deep cleaning, and attempting to tackle the yard. Never mind scouts, dinner on the table, and of course, trying to exercise.
Pulled in too many different directions, I breathed my way through until Thursday. And then, I rebelled. Click HERE to read more.
