*Sorry, this giveaway has ended. Check back for more great giveaways.*
Much to my surprise, a package arrived on my doorstep today with 4 copies of Be the Mom to give away to you all (thanks Tracey)!!! If you haven’t heard yet, this will be our next book club book (as soon as we finish Cleaning House–we have 2 weeks left).
Since I’ll be leaving town on Saturday and will be gone all next week, I wanted to get these books sent out in time for you all to have them for our book club. :)
Read more about this book here. I read it back in the spring (before it was published) and LOVED it! It completely changed my perspective on how I see myself as a mother (which I need a reminder of, once again). I can’t wait to read it while getting to hold it in my hands!

Blessings,

I really want to read this book. I think motherhood has so many ups and downs. Perhaps this book can help me to rise above the challenges and enjoy my children more. Thanks for the giveaway!
OH I definitely think I might benefit–I struggle all the time with being able to relax and just enjoy things. I’m a home daycare provider and my husband works two jobs so I’m soloing it about six days a week, from before they wake up until after they’re in bed! VERY tiring, VERY stressful, and I need every tool I can get to help overcome the stress.
I would love to win a copy of this book. I read this first 2 chapters online and absolutely love it! I have been a stay at home mom for 3 years now and sometimes I feel like I am in a rut and wish I still worked. Then I have those wonderful days when all I want to do it be at home with my kids. This book looks awesome and I know I can relate to the traps.
Yay, this is on my wish list! I am Mom to a 2, a 3, and a 4 year old and would love some encouragement to keep being intentional with my motherhood. Thanks for this opportunity!
I would love to win this!

I would love a copy! Read the first two chapters online and I think it could really help me. Thanks for the giveaway!!!
With 3 kids under the age of 2, I often feel invisible and wonder what am I doing half the time. I really think that this book could help me.
I just recently became a mother of two (my oldest is two and the new babe is three weeks) and find myself (once again) struggling to “let things go” and put others’ needs before my own. I would LOVE to win this book to gain some fresh insight and perspective…pretty please! :)
This book is on my TBR list. On the days when the kids snipping at each other all.day.long. and the laundry is ne.vah.ending I *know* I would benefit from this wisdom I feel this book has to offer. I have a friend debating between staying home and going back to work. I know she would also gain some help from the book and will happily let her read it first.
Pick me! I never win anything, and lord knows I could use the mom reality check. :)
This book looks amazing. Hope to win one! :)
I read the first two chapters, from the link you gave on FB, and was very impressed. I think her advice is really good and I’ve already learned that, at least, I’m not the only woman (mom) who thinks these ways. I would love to win a copy!
this book sounds like exactly what I need right now. Funds are very limited- I am a SAHM, my husband works on- call and we are currently in the middle of moving and buying a house.. some days I feel like I would love to walk away from it all. I pray that this book would give me some strength and insight needed to keep going.
I would LOVE to read this.. always need encouragement in parenting!
With 2 boys (3 and 1) I could definitely use this book every day!! I hope I hope :)
Looks like a great read!
I would love to win a copy! I read the first two chapters (that we could for free) and really wanted to read more. I currently have a 4 year old, 2 year old and a 6 week old. The past couple of weeks have been difficult and I think this book would really help me change my view on just being a mom. Granted some sleep might help too!
I downloaded the first chapter and want to read this book! I hope that it helps me not compare myself to other moms!
My friend is reading this, I’d love to win it and join her and the book club!
I would love to win a copy of the book. We are starting a mom’s support group at my church and it would be great to tell the women about this book. I have read some of the first chapter and it seems like it is a great encouragement to all moms.
I would love to win this. Us moms need lots of encouragement.
I would love to read this book! I’m definitely “in the trenches” right now with two kids under two, so I think this book would really encourage me in this season of life!
I’d definitely read this book. If it’s a no-win I think I’ll be checking the library. Looks good! Oh, and while I’m actually commenting, I have been loving your website! Thanks so much for sharing all of your ideas with others. I have been building an activity list for my son this year, using a lot of your ideas to implement with his pre-school curriculum. :)
I can use some encouragement right now! Thanks for this giveaway
I would love to win a copy because I recently became a stay at home mom to my 7 month old daughter.
Would definitely enjoy a copy of this book; especially with such a positive endorsement!
I can already think of more than 7 mom traps I fall into and would love advice on how to get out!
Sounds like a great book to read!
I would love to win this book! as a mom of four I am always looking for ways to help me stay on top of my game! :)
I think this book would help me adjust my attitude and perspective on those really hard days. : )
This book would benefit me because it would help me to be a better mom while not losing touch of me.
I would love to win a copy of this book! I currently have a 3 year old son and I’m pregnant (and on bed rest) with twins.
Yay! Would love to win this since our local library doesn’t have it yet! I sounds like it would be really encouraging during tough times!
I, too, would love to win a copy of this book! Awesome giveaway!
I would love this book to help with some struggles right now.
I sure could use some positive reinforcement in parenting. The book club sounds like a lot of fun!
This looks like such a great book! I would love to win it and participate in the book club! ;-)
A few hours after you posted that this was the next book choice, I stumbled upon an interview with Tracey on my Focus on the Family app about “Understanding Your Role as a Mom” and I really enjoyed listening to her easy and helpful tips! She has such a positive attitude toward Motherhood! This book would benefit me by teaching me ways to relax during stressful days or situations with my Little Ones. Very excited to read it!
I heard her on the radio the other day but didn’t get to write down the name of the book or author. I would love to get ahold of this book.
I haven’t heard of this but it looks great! I need some lessons on patience… :)
I would love to win-I need some encouragement right now
I’ve always been the auntie and loved spoiling all the kids. I’m trying hard not to spoil my 1 year old and need to start putting some limits on myself.
I’ve been thinking of joining your “reading club”, this looks like a great book! I have a 2-year-old and a 3-day-old! :)
Would love it!
I would love to win this book so that I can read about how to become the best mom that I can be. I have a 5 yr. old son whom I love dearly. The last 3 1/2 years have been challenging with the 5 miscarriages I have had. I have found that I am becoming frustrated and not as positive as I would like to be in my role as a mother. I think that this book world be a great source of encouragement for me.
I just saw a blurb about this in the Thriving Family magazine. Even if I don’t win, I’ll probably pick up a copy to see if it something the playgroup mommies would enjoy.
I heard Tracey on the Focus on the Family radio program talking about her book the other day. She talked about how you have to put your To Do list aside and just Be with your child. I struggle with that a lot. I was excited to hear about her book and would love a copy :)
I could definitely use a refocus on mommahood. :)
I read the description of this book and could definitely use it. I hope I win.
I love books for moms….and I love book clubs. It’s a perfect combo.
This book sounds like just what I need right now:) Great giveaway!
I am so thrilled to find this book, I have already downloaded the first chapter to read tonight after my little one goes to bed. I think I will definitely benefit from reading this book, because despite how important my being a “stay home mom” is to me and my husband, I have been recently grieving for the loss of my “me time” and have been tempted to “quit my job” (as she put it in the excerpt that you posted.) I think every mom needs a reminder of how important their job is every now and then, and this book has come just in time for me it seems.
Would love to win a copy…looking for something new to start with the ladies at church this fall
I would benefit from this book b/c it would be one more reminder of what I am doing has a purpose.
I’m a stay-at-home mom of a 4 year old . When he tells me “I love you mommy” it keeps me going everyday. Thank you for the chance! I love to read.
I would love to win this book :) It’s easy to get trapped into thinking that being a stay at home mom is not important, or that staying at home means you don’t work, or are unsuccessful. I would love to learn more about her ideas!
I would LOVE to win a copy of this book, just saw it at a homeschool convention :) I could use a fresh perspective and to remind me of the blessings God has bestowed on me as a mother. Thank you for giving us all the opportunity to win.
Blessings,
Mama Alsbury :)
I want to keep learning how to be a better mommy everyday to my son. Thank you for the chance!
I am a stay at home mom to my one year old son. I am always looking for new mom/parenting books to read. It sounds like this book has some great advice and tips for staying refreshed and positive so that I can be the best mom I can be! It will especially be helpful to think about on those days when nothing seems to go right! Can’t wait to read it!
Reading this book will be a double whammy benefit. Not only do I get some reading alone time, but the things I will be able to take away from this book as I read it. I have two toddlers, so alone time to read would be awesome, but learning how to be a supermom is ever more awesome.
I could definitely use some inspiration. I haven’t been enjoying playing, etc. with the kids for a few months. I need to get some motivation back.
I would love this book! I am juggling being a SAHM with a 1 year old and an almost 3 year old – the days are long!
I really need this book right now. Have been struggling the past 2 years ever since leaving grad school and focusing on my mom career rather than the career I had initially envisioned for myself. Would love to win!
How interesting! I have a 2 and 3yr old and jumped feet-first into attachment parenting and positive discipline. I’ve slowly been realizing that I have to find a balance because I’m burned out. I would love to read this!
I am a teacher and will be starting back to work next week…I sure will be able to get ideas for being a better Momma as I will be tired from the long day of work.
I’m still a new stay at home — transitioning from working full time to stay home with my now 3.5 year old last fall. I need all the positive reminders I can get! And then I’ll share it with mom-friends at my MOPS group :)
I love the subject of this book and definitely struggle with focusing on my role as mother with all of the other distractions in life! Excited to read it.
I’m still trying to transition from working full time to staying at home. I could really use this book!
I think I’d benefit because I have a 4 year old, we just got a 3 year old, and I have a baby due in November. I think I could use the help.
Thanks for the opportunity! Just beginning to explore parenting and “mom” books more, and I would love to be a part of the next book club discussions.
I definately need some reminders of how to enjoy my kids a little more right now. Maybe it’s because it’s the end of the summer and we’ve been trapped inside for most of it, but my good mommy skills seem to have been completely depleted!
I’d love to read this!
I read the first two chapters that you told us about, and honestly I wasn’t sure what direction the author was headed. So it would be an interesting read to see what she says, and what her experiences have been.
I would love to win a copy-I have heard SO much about it. Thanks for the giveaway!
If you say its good and has really helped you as a mom that is enough for me! Would love to win a copy.
Too many times at the end of the day, I look back…wishing I had lived more fully, enjoyed the little moments, and made more memories…instead of just making it through! I’d love to read Tracey’s book and be inspired to focus on my priorities and live a joy-filled life!
This book is sitting in my cart on amazon…with 2 toddlers, I may never get around to checking out!
I would LOVE to win. I could use some good reminders of how to be a loving mom. I am afraid too many times I just get too frustrated with them and forget that sometimes they just need some love.
Would LOVE to win this copy—I just dogeared my Thriving Family magazine to check this book out further!
I downloaded the sample chapters and really enjoyed them. I would love to win a copy and join your book club. :-)
I really think ALL moms struggle with feelings of failure and inadequacy from time to time – both working and stay-at-home mommies. This sounds like such a wonderful read! I know it sure would have a positive impact on me as a mom of 3 under the age of 4 :)
I too looked at the sample chapters and would love to win a copy.
I downloaded the first chapter and have gotten myself hooked. I’m a working mom and want to be a full time mom, I’m hoping this book can help me know that I can feel as great in that job as I want to be.
I am a stay at home mother of two and one on the way. I’ll have three kids ages 3 and under. I love being a mother, but it is not the easiest job (as we all have found out on our own). I would love to win a copy of this book! I feel like it will bring inspiration and lots of help! And I need all the help I can get! After reading the first chapter they allow you to for free, I am excited and want to read more!!
I homeschool 4 kids and could always use help to be a better mom.
Thanks
I’ve been in a spiritual rut ever since our 7 year old son passed away two years ago. This sounds like a refreshing read to rejuvenate my spirit, and my God-given role to be the best mommy possible! Thank you!
I can always use mom encouragement. would be excited to win. :)
Congrats! You are a winner! Please e-mail me your address at [email protected] ASAP. If I don’t get your address before tomorrow morning, it will be a little more than a week before I can get it sent out. :) Thanks!
Looks great! Thanks for the give-a-way Jenae! : )
As a part time single mom (my husband works out of town for a month at a time, every other month) I have some days that i feel like I am a complete failure to my kids…
I have a 3.5 year old, an 18 month old, and just found out I am expecting. So many days I feel I am just surviving, this book seems like it may be the extra guidance and motivation I need for more intentional parenting.
This book looks great! I’d love to win it.
I would love to win this book as I try to figure out who I am as a Mom.
I am curious about the mom traps and how to get out. I know I have the most important job in the world, but I could use a little help with those traps, I think! I’d love to win – thanks for the chance!
I am a new mom and I know I have lots to learn!
As soon as I saw your post about this book, I put it on my goodreads list!
I think I fall into those “traps” every other day with this crazy thing called motherhood!
I’d love a copy of this book. Thank you for a great giveaway!
As a mom I definitely doubt my role and what I am supposed to do. I feel like this book sounds SO inspiring and just may help me get out of this bad attitude I have about my duties as a mother sometimes.
I would love to read this book to learn how to be a better mom an dhow to avoid the “traps.” Thanks for the opportunity to win.
This book would come at the best time in my life right now.lately everyday i feel as if im constantly failing to do my best as a mother. Hope i win:)
Ugh….so many comments already. I know my chances are so slim, but I stayed up late last night reading the first few chapters of this book after you linked to it. I would be so encouraged and challenged to “be the mom” I have always wanted to be. I have four boys, the oldest is four. Days are long and hard, but they are each a special gift and I pray that I treat them as such each moment.
Always looking for any resources that can help me be a better parent! What a blessin it would be to win this
I would love this book! Some days I need to be reminded of why I do what I do!
I would LOVE to win this book! I recently deleted my FB page because I spent way too much time on there and I was missing out on my kids lives but I am still struggling with REALLY being in there lives. REALLY playing with them and not rushing in to the next thing. I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to win this book!!!

I’d love to win. I could use some tips on being a better mom.
I have found myself falling into so many of those very mom traps lately. It never used to be that way, and I can’t remember when or how the slope started, but lately I’ve felt so disconnected from my family. I would love to get this book and receive the encouragement of the book club as well!
The first thing I do when I have a tough day with the kids: look over my resume. I am hoping that “Be the Mom” will give me a new perspective about making motherhood the priority. Thank you as always Janae for thinking of your readers with your giveaways.

I would love to win a copy
I would love a copy of this book. I always need a reminder to live in the now, and enjoy my children for who they are right now and not fall into the trap of thinking what we can do when they are older….
I recently became a stay-at-home Mom, and every once in a while on especially tough days I find myself second-guessing my decision and, worst of all, second-guessing myself as a Mom. I don’t want to be that kind of Mom!! I would LOVE to read this book. Sometimes it’s lonely being a Mom, and I feel like this book will help me connect. Thanks, Janae!
As a mommy of two girls with another girl on the way, I’d hugely benefit from reading this book. Thanks for the giveaway!
I’d love to win this book! This is my downfall in motherhood. My kids are awesome! They are smart, cool, happy, creative, compassionate. But, I keep forgetting to ENJOY them, or I get lost in all I have to do and get too busy to remember to enjoy them!
I would love to win a copy of this book!
I would love to win this!

I love reading books about being a mom! As of June, I am now a SAHM to my 2 little boys (ages 4 and 2) and have one more on the way due in January! I would really enjoy this book as I start my new journey!!
The past 7 months have truly been a struggle in every way possible for me and my husband and our 6 year old son. My biggest struggle through it all has been defining my role as “mom” in this family and being confident in the decisions I make about our son. I saw your pin of this on Pinterest yesterday, and just by the title alone, I knew it was a book I need to read as soon as possible. I would be extremely grateful to win one of these copies and join in on the book club discussions!

I recently discovered that my mom has Narcissistic Personality Disorder, a disorder in which her needs always come first. This disorder prevented her from being there for me while growing up. Everything was about her and what she needed. I missed out on the joy and innocence that I think childhood should be. Now that I have two young children of my own, I want to be sure I avoid the trap my mom fell into and be sure they never know what it’s like to be put second. This book seems like an excellent resource.
I would love to win a copy of this book, anything that helps me be a better mom is great!
I’d love to read this… I feel lately that I struggle to do too much and not enjoy my child as much as I should
The title says it all.
I am hoping to win the “Be the Mom” book and participate in the Book Club. I have 4yo, 2yo and 4mo boys and going through a challenging time after my 3rd c-section. Praying a lot, trying to get some sort of schedule going so I can run our house efficiently and with joy but struggling a lot with grumpiness, being short with my babies and mom-stresses. This book would indeed be a great encouragement. Thanks for the opportunity! Your blog is a blesssing to us!
Congrats Kat! You are a winner! Please e-mail me your address at [email protected] ASAP. If I don’t get your address before tomorrow morning, it will be a little more than a week before I can get it sent out. :) Thanks!
I would love to win a copy and could use the Godly encouragement.
i am the coordinator of our local MOPS group, and this looks like something that would be great to change the attitudes of the moms in our group!!
I’m trying not to get caught up in the busyness of the moments and enjoy my kids. I can see how this book could give some great encouragement. Thanks for the opportunity to join you in reading this book!
I downloaded the sample from Thriving Family after you mentioned it several days ago. What I read was encouraging. I plan to buy it when it comes out. It would be even cooler to win a copy.
I have been having trouble with my two boys and am hoping this book can help!
As we contemplate, discuss, and pray about expanding our family, I’ve been really reflecting on my role as “mother”, the one God called me to. Thank you for the opportunity and your encouragement
I am striving to have my dedication to my children and family show more in my actions. I would like to have a “servant’s heart” in my role as mother to them and wife to my husband and I am not there yet.
As a single mom, some days are Just really hard! I would love a copy of this book to elp me through those days
I read the first chapter online, and can’t wait to read the entire book!
I’m a SAHM of 5 with a husband with crazy working hours and a part-time job myself. I think this would really help me look past the craziness and busyness of many of our days. I try hard to focus on enjoying my kids but this would definitely help on those days when it’s just HARD.
I would love to read this book!! It sounds like a great book and that it would help me more fully accept being a stay-at-home mom after working out of the house for the past 6 years! I love being home, but sometimes I wonder if I’m doing things right. THanks for the opportunity to win such a great booK!
I would love to win a copy to read along with the book club! I need to find the balance between “mommy” and “me” and learn to take time out from all of the responsibilities of life and just enjoy my children!

Balance between motherhood, marriage, and teaching full time – that is what I’m striving for.

This is a great Blog I am so glad I was sent a link to it.
I could use a good perspective change, been in a funk and have heard this book is excellent!
I am currently struggling to define myself as a mother. Prior to having my son, I was a successful high school teacher. I finished my contract and am now a stay at home mom, which had always been my dream. However the dream is not living up to my expectations. I find myself trying to escape my son at times especially when he does not meet my expectations. I hope this book would help me find my identity as a mother and feel successful in this endeavor.
After 5.5 years, I’m still trying to figure out how to “Be the Mom”. It feels like an ever-changing role.
I would love to win a copy!
Looks like a fabulous book. I think it would be great as sometimes with little ones you stop enjoying the little years and just wish they would grow to the next stage.
Thanks for the chance.
I’d love to win one to help my mommy perspective.

I would benefit from reading this book through the seven “mom-traps” that the book trailer talks about which can prevent a mom from living a joy-filled life. I would really enjoy reading this book and passing what I learn from it onto other mothers.

As a mom of a wild & crazy 5 year old daughter, with a very busy husband; I find myself often wanting to hide under the covers or under the bed (if I could fit with all of the stuff crammed under it).

I am always interested in new mommy and parenting books – I read any one I can get my hands on! :)
Not only am I a parent of 2 children. I work with parents through our local literacy program, these parents are mostly young people who had to drop out of high school when they became parents so they are working at getting their GEDs. I work with their children in a preschool setting while they are busy in class. I also provide parenting tips & workshops for them as part of our program.
Thanks!!
I just had #3 and know it’s gonna be yet another eye-opener to how selfish I can be! I could really use this book!
I am changing jobs or actually leaving my job to become a stay-at-home mom after sending my children to daycare for the past 3.5 years. I KNOW I will have many challenges ahead of me with such a life-style change (and believe me, I know there will be more good than bad in those changes). I’m sure this book will give me GREAT insight to my new life and make me a better mom and person.
This book looks like a great encouragement. I could use that. :)
I’m always looking for parenting advice and inspiration.
