The Velveteen Mommy

"With tongue in cheek, plunger in hand and Mr. Rogers video at the ready, Jenn Doucette lets us chuckle along with her in some of those all-too-familiar, and often all-too-mind-boggling, happenings of motherhood. Through it all, she sweetly reminds us that God uses motherhood to shape us, mold us--to make us Real--more like Him. If you're feeling a little worn out (in Velveteen Rabbit fashion), let Jenn help you get Real."

Rhonda Rhea

Humor columnist, radio personality and author of Who Put the Cat in the Fridge?

"If you feel like a worn-out mommy who is getting loose in the joints, with her patience thinning and her energy level depleted, read this book. Jenn Doucette reminds all of us that loving and being loved is a priceless gift."

Carol Kent

Founder and president of Speak Up Speaker Services, former radio show co-host, author of Detours, Tow Trucks, and Angels in Disguise (Finding Humor and Hope in Unexpected Places).

"I laughed and nodded my head in agreement and joy. The good news? This book will encourage and affirm you. The bad news? By the time all the kids sleep through the night, the eldest one gets his driver's license and sleep deprivation continues. Oh, well. Focus on the good news--the good news of The Velveteen Mommy."

Kendra Smiley

Writer, speaker, radio show host of Live Life Intentionally, and author of Aaron’s Way: The Journey of a Strong Willed Child.
