Steady Days: Book Review and Giveaway

Steady Days: Book Review and Giveaway

ByKeeper of the Home

“I am not a perfect mother. Often I struggle with impatience; sometimes I lack the enthusiasm I long for. I make many mistakes, just like my children. As they are maturing as children, I am maturing as a mother… We need to equip ourselves with practical tools that allow us to give our personal best to our young children, helping us thrive in our strengths and overcome our weaknesses. We aim for professionalism in every other area of our lives; why should our children get anything less?”

Infused Cover Color smlThis month I had the extreme pleasure of reviewing the book Steady Days: A Journey Toward Intentional, Professional Motherhood, by Jamie C. Martin. The quote above is from the beginning of the book, setting the stage for an exploration of what it takes to be a professional mother.

There is one message that rings out strong and clear throughout the entirety of Steady Days and it is this… mothering requires intentionality. To maintain peace and order, we must be purposeful about how we achieve that. To maintain our enthusiasm, we must plan activities and encouragement into our days that inspire us. To capture memories and special moments with our children, we must have a plan for what we will do and how we will remember what we’ve enjoyed and experienced.

Over and over again, this one thought. To be successful in achieving my goals as a mother, I must be intentional. Purposeful. Prepared. Well-planned. Goal-oriented.

Let’s face it. It can be easy to go on auto-pilot as a mom. Sometimes our days are so full and overwhelming that we just go with the flow, without being intentional about how we are spending these precious years with our children.

As a home educating mother, I make more of an effort to be intentional about how I educate my children, what learning resources I expose them to, how many books we read, etc. And yet, throughout the rest of my day I can sometimes get so focused on other aspects of my roles as mother, wife, homemaker and more that I cease to be purposeful about all the other realms of my mothering.

If you can relate to what I’m saying, I think that you would be blessed by Steady Days. Jamie is encouraging and upbeat, and yet consistently challenging us to consider how we are doing things, what our motivations are, what could be changed, how we could grow as mothers.

A few other practical things I loved:

  • Short, simple chapters. If bite-sized is what you need to make it through a book and really implement its strategies, then you will just love how Jamie has organized Steady Days into 40 short chapters.
  • Steady Days Planner. This is Jamie’s version of a homemaking binder, and she has so many wonderful suggestions for adding to it. A few that I was particularly inspired by were a Steady Blessings page (for recording our blessings, special moments, thoughts of gratefulness), Special Date Organizer, Shopping Lists, and Children’s Goals. Many of the particular pages she discusses and shows throughout the book can actually be found on her website, at http://www.steadydays.com/resources.html.
  • Room Time. A clever technique for achieving a bit of quiet time for Mom to get some things done, while each child plays/reads productively in their own space (no more sibling squabbles, at least for 20-30 minutes!). Love it!

Final thoughts: I really enjoyed this book and I know that I will reference it again and again. I love Jamie’s encouragement to just implement new things or small changes bit by bit. For moms who are feeling overwhelmed and in need of someone to help you get more organized and intentional in your mothering, Steady Days is for you!

To get to know Jamie a little better and find more tips, strategies and thoughts for bringing steadiness and professionalism to your days, you can find her at her blog, Steady Mom.

  1. Oh my goodness, this is EXACTLY the encouragement I need right now! I am a SAHM of 3 boys, two of which are only 10 months apart…thought it would be easy, but boy was I wrong! I am feeling really overwhelmed and tired right now, so I would love to read this book! Thanks for this post!

  2. I need to read this book because I’m still having a tough time adjusting from the working world to the mothering world. I often get the mindset that since I’m at home, I’m “on vacation,” so things get neglected. I really want to make motherhood my career, and I think this would help me to figure out how.

  16. Why would I need to read this book? Please excuse my laughing ;p. I have a four year old son, I’m pregnant, married, have 4 dogs, a goat, a brand new house on six acres of jungle… I guess in short because I need all the help I can get! Thank you for the chance!!

  17. This book sounds right up my alley. I am a single mom of two 8,5 and I run an in home child care program and care for up to six children plus my own to be home with them. With very little help its hard to find steadness in my days at times and I struggle with this. I am new in my faith and would hope to grow there this year. I think this book would be a good read for me.
    Thanks for your posting I enjoy checking in with your blog.

  25. I have been reevaluating somethings lately and when asked what my “Dream for life” was I realized that it wasn’t for fame or fortune but really just a peaceful safe home for my girls. Not that it’s not safe and loving now but it’s not at the level of peace I would like it to be. I really had to step back and look at things about our home and mostly myself that I need to change to accomplish this…Tis book sounds great and I would LOVE to read it!

  58. Wow, this sounds like an amazing book. We just found out that we are expecting number three and it has prompted me to take a look at our days and how we spend them (anticipating a general upheaval when another kiddo is added). I was surprised to find how UNintentional our days are.

  61. I had my first child 9 months ago and with a series of disappointments, i suffered post partum depression for 2 months. Adjusting to new motherhood and my husband working extra hours so I could be a Stay at home mom made me feel like I lost my best friend, which added to the depression. I am slowly adjusting to my new positions as mom and homemaker, but it has been a real trial for me. Since i was a child all i wanted was to be a stay at home mom, but have found it is a great deal more than I realized it to be! I love being at home with my baby girl, but it has been a rough road personally for me which has left me with a lot of guilty feelings. I feel I could definitely benefit from this book to become a better wife, mom, and homemaker. Thanks for the chance!

  86. I I have been following along with Steady mom for quite some time and have always been so inspired by her! I would just LOVE this book, as i am soon to be (in 3 months) a Stay At Home Mum of 3 boys under 3 years. Im so thankful that its the beginning of a new year because many NEW things are taking place around here… including my NEED to have more organization!.. particuarly with the boys. I have always been very routined with them and we have a great schedule. But I realised last week as i sat on the couch almost every night in tears that i needed more than just a great schedule. I need to have goals, and a purpose and more practical detailed stuff prepared and planned ahead on a daily basis! So to me, this book sounds like it would be a wonderful help in the area i need right now.

  99. My goal as a mother is to become more patient – with my children, with my husband and especially with myself. Some month ago we visited my mother- in -law. It was such a stressful day with children without naptime, our house full of chaos, because we had to leave early,…
    When we drove back home, I asked my husband to stop at our church. I sit there, in the dark church, for half an hour and promised to myself that I want to change some things: Get more organised, cut out some time for myself, enjoy my kids more and look out for people and books to help me with this. Steady days is on the list, I wrote, so it would be wonderful to win it!

  102. How timely. My hubby is in the military and will be leaving this week for four months in Haiti. I’ll be home hoemschooling 3 kids. Intentional mothering is something I’ve heard about, but this book seems to teach ow to do it in practical ways. Trying to be mom and dad the next several months, I need to be intentnional so every moment is used the best way to glorify God. It sounds like an awesome read. I’m heading to her site now. – Kathy

  107. Wow, this sounds like a great book! I’m really working on intentionality with my kids right now. I have 2 boys (5 &3) and we’re thinking about homeschooling next year, so I’m trying to slowly work things into my day, so when we get to next fall I’m not freaking out. This sounds like a good book to help me do that! 🙂

  117. I need to read this book because it sounds like it is exactly what the type of encouragement and motivation I need to be intentional and focused on my children. When I first started out as a mom, it was a lot easier for me to be focused and intentional, but as I’ve added another child and have now another one on the way, I find it harder to be intentional and often beat myself up about it. I stay at home in order to make the most of the time with my children, yet I find it hard to balance time with them and time doing chores or things I need to achieve. This sounds like the very thing that could help me organize and intentionalize my time at home!

  160. I’ve been drooling over this one for a few weeks =) Love Jamie’s blog – only just discovered it.

    The concept of “purposefulness” could summarize what God has been teaching me this past year. My mothering has taken on a new peace. It’s amazing what being intentional can do, not only for your children, but for yourself. Instead of letting the days happen to me, I’ve realized that simply by choosing to not let that happen, I change the day completely. When I claim each hour, suddenly I have energy and direction, and my children pick up on that in an amazing way.

    Thanks for another great giveaway, Stephanie.

  209. One thing I see as a challenge is not comparing myself to those moms who always seem to have everything together. They are clean o matics, their kids hair never moves out of place no matter how many times they jump on the trampoline, their clothes are up to date and stylish and their kids only wear children’s place or ‘higher end’ brands and never get one spot on them. Their home could be in better homes and gardens tours at any time of the day or night, they always display an appropriate attutude to their kids and always know exactly what to do in every situation, and etc. Realistically, their families have problems just like mine at some point. So this steady days book seems like it would be an encouraging read. After all, it isn’t the absence of problems that makes one happy, it is the joy that God gives deep down. It would still be cool to have motionless hair though 🙂

    I think my biggest challenge is just perseverance. I can get excited about trying something new to be a better mommy, and I start off with a bang, but somewhere along the way I get discouraged and it all goes by the wayside. My goal: to persevere.

  226. Entry 1: I would love to read this book to help me complete one of my goals of motherhood. I have a plaque in my kitchen that says “May the lilt of Irish laughter fill your home.” Without intentional motherhood, chaos ensues. With chaos, there is no laughter, only stress and tension. I believe that my learning more about intentional motherhood will help my children have a home filled with Irish laughter. Growing up in such a house, I know how precious that is to pass on.

  246. I really, really need to work on patience. I have such a hard time when everything’s happening at once. And I feel like every mom on earth manages to be patient and purposeful except me. I sit there yelling at them to both be quiet and wait a minute and I know it’s not even their fault and that yelling is the wrong choice, but I still do it. Of course that’s in my weak moments…. But I need to find better ways to deal with those weaknesses than going on emotion alone. That is why I need to read more about this.

  251. I am a mother of 6 and wife of a small store owner. Our lives are busy and I am often disappointed that we have not gotten to what I know is important. I would appreciate this author’s thoughts on a steady small bite approach to this problem.

  252. How many reasons can I include?!?!? I love my daughter more than I ever believed I could love anything or anyone. I work full-time as the director of a non-profit school for at-risk youth…a job I adore and am so proud to have attained. I look so forward to the moment at the end of the day when I get to come home and be with my almost 4-year-old and my husband, yet within minutes of arriving home, I can feel my blood pressure and anxiety rising. I’ve just spent the 25-minute drive home trying to transition and prepare myself for the joys and responsibilities that will be on my plate the moment I get out of the car, and then my beautiful family, including my dog, rush me at the door, showering me with affection and I feel like I want to run away. And then I want to cry because how could I feel like that? How could I possibly not revel in this? The constant self-doubt and fear that comes with motherhood never ceases to amaze me and just reading the opening passage of this book filled me with a sense of relief and calm. I would LOVE to read this book and am so grateful to Sarah of sagefemmemama.blogspot.com for exposing me to this blog! It is so helpful to know that other wonderful mamas question themselves and feel overwhelmed!

  258. I am the SAHM home educating mom of 4 kids. I was having a horrible afternoon this past Monday. I suddenly felt overwhelmed, unappreciated and taken for granted. I went to the grocery store by myself just to get a break. When I got home, my husband and I put the kids to bed and then we talked for a while about what I was feeling. I told him that I needed something, I just didn’t know what it was. I decided to go to bed very early, so I went into the office to turn off my computer. With almost NO energy left, I decided to do one more thing…. visit your blog. When I saw your review for Steady Days, I said “That’s what I need!!” I would love to win this book, as neither of my local libraries have it. It would be such a blessing to me.

  263. I need this book.
    I struggle with impatience too. I often lack hope or energy to go forward, and I am sure my children are paying the price.
    With three kids two jobs and a house, I need it.

  271. I feel like I really need this book because 1) I am new to mothering and often feel very lost/overwhelmed, 2) I want a game plan for my day, and 3) I work with a lot of moms so this looks like an excellent resource.

  275. I need this book because I am a momma of 4 kids ages 4 and under! My youngest is 3 months so I am pretty recovered and he’s slowly getting more of a schedule, so this is perfect timing for us.
