I am Cindy Rollins author of Mere Motherhood, A Handbook to Morning Time, and Hallelujah A Journey Through Advent with Handel's Messiah. From December 2016 to December 2018, I put out a newsletter. It contained some of my best writing. After I moved on to other projects, it occurred to me that those newsletters might be helpful to others if they were collected together. Here they are complete with poems in the public domain and recipes, which were often the best part of the newsletter. In these newsletters I ponder significant moments in the life a mother, the ups and downs, realities, joys, and sorrows. I even have a bookslist or two! You will find laughter and tears and recipes month by month. Many people asked me where they could find these newsletters once they vanished from their inboxes. Here, for the first time, they are collated together. You can buy them as an ebook or even print them out. I am deeply indebted to Elizabeth Sage for the cover art.

    Cindy has been one of my favorite sources for mothering encouragement for quite some time now. I had no idea she is such a wonderful writer as well! My dear friend loves her just as much as I do, if not more. This book has already had me laugh out loud several times and I’ve barely put a dent in it. And the recipes look very practical and delicious. I can’t wait to read the book I should have read many recommendations ago-Mere Motherhood!

    I’m such a fan of Cindy Rollins. This collection is wonderful writing. It has brought me to tears multiple times. After reading Mere Motherhood, I wanted to get my hands on more of her writing and this really came through! I love that it feels seasonal, as the newsletters are monthly installments. It’s nice to read one a month and then mull over it for a few weeks.

    Love anything Cindy writes. Makes me feel like I'm not alone on the journey. I glean so many little tidbits from her and all so warmly delivered like I'm chatting with my best friend over coffee. Love love love!

    I don’t normally write reviews, as I am a busy home educating mama and time is limited, but I felt this book needed reviewing. I purchased this copy after excitedly finding out Cindy Rollins had another book out I wasn’t aware of, and because her writing is so refreshing and gives me such a sense of “you can do this!”, I went ahead and ordered that same day. I didn’t even have to think twice.

    I am trying to pace myself and not gobble it up, since she can’t possibly write as fast as I read :) so I am coming here after only reading the second portion (newsletter two) and while both were spectacularly written, the second one was so powerful I spent minutes sobbing with the truth shared and encouragement given. She has been there, you guys!

    It is worth the price of the book for even just one newsletter.

    I am ordering several more copies to give to my mom friends. The world needs these truths!
