Description

In a social-media saturated world, it's all too easy to see the shiny lives of others and find your own less than lustrous. And while most women won't admit they're unhappy, they will tell you they just wish. "I love my life! I just wish ____." After ten-plus years of professional life online, Kate Strickler, founder of Naptime Kitchen, has experienced the many ways we see a life on the other side of the screen—and wish it were our own. Setting out to fight the lie that what she had wasn't enough, Kate discovered simple perspective shifts that ultimately helped her fall in love with the life she already had. Here she shares the small changes you can make that add up to a whole new outlook on life. With her trademark real-life tips and life hacks mixed with humor and stories she's never shared before, Kate helps you identify and dismantle ten lies about relationships, money, time, and home life. As you discover how to live and mother in ways that work for you and your family, you'll stop just wishing your life away—and begin to truly enjoy the one you already have. Read more

  • A great book to remember how to love yourself and others
Format: Hardcover
I've been a loyal Naptime Kitchen follower for years and Kate is everything the internet needs. She's honest and somehow makes you feel so seen. I feel like I have the world's tiniest kitchen, so it's fitting that I love a book called 'I Just Wish I Had A Bigger Kitchen' but its true, I love my home and I am okay with my crockpot being in my basement. I think moms have a tendency to feel so isolated and this is a really great read to let go of the weight of the world and love the life you live. She gives practical tips and mindset sifts at the end of each chapter. Is it better to skip hosting because your house isn’t big enough, or to embrace the mess, pull out the paper plates, and order a pizza? She reminds you that we don't have to love everyone (including ourselves) perfectly, we just have to keep showing up. I think this book does a great job encouraging to show up, for yourself, your spouse, your kids, your neighbors, and everyone you love. She's real, raw, and so relatable. The pinworm story making another round had me cackling. ... show more

  • Every woman should read this book. So relatable and validating.
Format: Hardcover
Really enjoyed this book. It is so relatable and I feel seen. I would recommend it to all women because I'm sure we all struggle with one or all of the topics that Kate addresses. It's a great reminder to look around and notice our blessings and be content. It's also comforting to know I'm not the only one struggling with these feelings. I also recommend the audiobook which is narrated by Kate. It feels like you are talking with your best friend and is a wonderful easy listen! ... show more

  • Very good read
Format: Hardcover
This book was very good. I really enjoyed the friendship and marriage chapters, and honestly cried and felt seen in her writing. The money chapter was lacking, I felt the book didn’t need it. Highly recommend this book to other moms who often feel alone in their struggles.
