New York Times bestseller 10 Simple Mindset Shifts to Love the Life You're Already Living · Identifies and dismantles 10 lies about the so-called good life · Make small, real-world changes that add up to a new outlook on life · Learn to live and mother in ways that work for you and your family 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 10-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 10 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

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

    • 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.

    • 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

    • Not for me
Format: Audiobook
While I think the intent of this book was great, I found the author's perceptions and privileged background to be so out-of-touch that it was distracting and off-putting.

This book is like having coffee with an old friend. The advice and perspective that Kate gives isn’t mind blowing, but that is why it resonates. It is practical.

    • well written book, mixed feelings on social media aspect
Format: Hardcover
I really enjoyed this book from Kate Strickler of Naptime Kitchen on Instagram. This easy-to-read book was a good mix of memoir, self-help, faith, and mom-encouragement that really resonated with me. It felt like a conversation with a friend where she shared challenges in her life and how she has (begun) to overcome them. I especially enjoyed the first three chapters (about having a better kitchen, being a better mom, and having a better husband) and also the chapters about time and control. These chapters helped me consider the lies I believe in these areas of my life and also how I've let social media, culture, blogs, Pinterest, etc. shape my expectations and desires. I appreciated that the author admitted she was young and didn't have all the answers, that she was figuring this out alongside everyone else. This made her writing feel more authentic and approachable to me, while still being encouraging and challenging. She seems like a fun and genuine person in this book, just as she appears to be online. I thought her faith and belief in God comes across very clearly in this book, more so than she shares online, which is something I liked, but it did not seem preachy. Each chapter includes a "mindset shift" at the end, as well as some reflection questions that Strickler encourages readers to answer solo or with friends. Personally, I have an on-again, off-again relationship with social media. It has its benefits and its drawbacks, and largely I am leaning more and more towards staying off it entirely. One thought I had while reading this book was that the author never really proposes getting off social media as a way to cure these lies she's believed... and that seems like the natural solution. I understand why she would not propose this--it would affect her family's livelihood! Strickler's argument seems to be more like, "use social media in a healthier way by keeping it and changing yourself" which is also possibly helpful for some, but not all. I do feel that not acknowledging this is a missed opportunity for exploring how we may need to set these firm boundaries in our lives (or even decide to obey a calling from God to change the way we live). Maybe that is beyond the scope of her book. There were at least one or two times she briefly mentions people not on social media or other things related to internet habits, but I would have liked to see her go farther in this discussion. Regardless of that criticism, I did enjoy this book! I found it well written, engaging, and a great mix of humor and reflection. I'll continue to follow Naptime Kitchen when I'm on Instagram and look forward to this book's release. :) Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for this eARC.
