Minus a star for the constant Calvinism and other logical fallacies but made a lot of really good points and was helpfully convicting

I do not pray as such, but I thoroughly enjoyed this view on motherhood, the reminder that hard is not the same as bad. How on earth did we start to think hard was bad.

5 stars isn’t enough for this book. M is for Mama (Abbie’s first book) was fantastic. This one is icing on the cake! Praise the Lord for the truth and teaching in HINTSTAB.

Abbie takes us through how society today looks for the easy way out of everything, and also acts like every hard thing is suffering. HOWEVER. She proves by scripture and personal experience that hard is not the same thing as bad. It’s her “motto” and now it’s mine too.

This book is full of truth, convicting, encouraging, 100% worth the read. And probably a re-read too. This is one that’ll stay out in the open to refer back to on the hard days of mama-hood!
