Busy Mama’s Guide to Self Improvement:
Conquer Thoughts/Habits/Attitudes
7 Habits of Highly Effective People
This book helps you take a step back and look at your life from an objective viewpoint: correcting negative thought patterns as well as setting and accomplishing goals. When I need to refocus, I reread this book!
Currently available free from Kindle unLimited!
can be listened to on Audible!
Order your life:
I’ve personally developed my own way of creating and implementing schedules and routines in our home that make life beautiful, but I still like the spiritual side of this book.
When my homemaking needs a bit of inspiration I’ll read the last few chapters as a sort of devotion.
READ: Read the Nourishing Routines series to help you create and use a workable routine to get your home and life in order!
I received a preview copy of this book before it was released. It helped me identify some areas of my life where I was overextending myself and not focusing on my priorities. Nothing earth shattering but a good reminder!
Get Your Money in Order:
This book is likeable for its down to earth yet foundational wisdom! Written for moms not financial wizards!
Dave Ramsey’s Total Money Makeover
I’m not a Dave Ramsey groupie or anything. In fact, I never learned much from him considering he is just packaging the wisdom Husband and I got from our parents which has allowed us to be 100% debt free since age 31 (yep, mortgage too!).
BUT if you have no financial grounding or are struggling with debt, following him may be the ticket!
Health and Wellness:
This book is not a nutrition book nor does it promote a particular style of eating but it looks at eating in moderation and health from a Godly perspective.
Not Catholic but an inspiring read none the less!
This book is by far the BEST book I have ever read on nutrition. It is a compelling and surprisingly fun read despite the fact that it is filled with studies revealing the best approaches to nutrition.
Parenting:
This book holds the timeless wisdom that we’ve been given by our parents. These methods/mentality allow us to sit through Mass without trouble and take our kids anywhere.
We and Our Children: How to Make a Catholic Home
Parenting and homemaking from a Catholic perspective. Not a practical help book, but inspirational!
The 5 Love Languages: Love that Lasts
This book is great for married couples and parents! It really opened my eyes on how to love someone in a way they actually appreciate!
It is the help that so many tired, struggling Catholic parents need now!
Further Inspiration to {Catholic} Self Improvement:
