Cheers
to the Diaper Years: 10 Truths for Thriving While Barely Surviving by Erin Brown Hollis is a Christian
non-fiction book on the topic of motherhood.
I gave this
book 3 out of 5 stars. It was okay. I am sorry to say that I found her voice to
be choppy and often like she is trying too hard to be “our friend.” I also
found myself frequently confused by how she phrased things. On top of that,
sometimes it felt like she was making references (maybe to movies? music?) that
I just didn’t get.
However, the
main content was helpful, encouraging, valuable and timely for me. I needed
reminders like it not being a mistake that I am mother to my kids and that God
cares more about the state of my heart than the state of my house. Hollis had
some very important truths here; some that we either forget to apply to our
motherhood status or we kind of know in the back of our mind but never stopped
to really dwell on, etc.
Overall, I
appreciated what she had to say, just didn’t mesh well with her voice.
