“A must-have for any new or expecting parent." —Jesse Tyler Ferguson
Learn how to safely and conveniently prepare your home for life with a baby or toddler.
As a new or expecting parent, you’re bombarded with seemingly endless advice—from how to nurse or feed your child to how to sleep and potty train them.
But conventional guidance misses a crucial aspect of the early years of parenting: how to organize your home for life with your little one. From dirty dishes piling up to heaps of new toys and clothes in every corner of your home, life with young kids can be, well, a lot.
Thankfully celebrity organizing expert and mom of three Ría Safford is here to help with her new book The Organized Home for New Parents. After learning and mastering her own systems of home organization, she has made a career out of helping parents create functional, routine-ready spaces to make more time for what matters most.
The Postpartum Nutrition Cookbook is a helpful and approachable guide and cookbook designed for new moms. It provides over 100 easy and nutrient-packed recipes, along with meal plans and shopping lists, to replenish their bodies during the postpartum period.
While caring for a newborn is challenging, it's crucial for mothers to prioritize self-care and focus on healing their bodies after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. Unlike many resources that solely focus on caring for the baby, this book, written by registered dietitians Diana Licalzi and Ashley Reaver, puts the mom's recovery first and guides them through the crucial 4th trimester, highlighting the key nutrients necessary for restoration.

Grace in Chaos | 5 Week Bible Study | Biblical Hope for the Hard Days of Motherhood
He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young. Isaiah 40:11 (NIV)
Do you ever feel overwhelmed as a mom—struggling with anxiety, despair, or comparison? For many women, motherhood feels like simultaneously the greatest responsibility in the world and the most difficult one.
Thankfully, we do not walk alone. God is with us in our motherhood—gently strengthening, helping, and restoring us. He is tender and compassionate with us on our hard days of mothering, our very present help in every season.
As a mom, you know two things to be true: motherhood is wonderful, and motherhood is hard. We have the privilege of shepherding little hearts and pointing them toward the love of the Father. And at the same time, motherhood often requires greater self-sacrifice than many of us have ever experienced. Steadfast Motherhood is a 60-day devotional for mamas who are balancing the joys and trials of motherhood.
So, whether you love your role as “mama” or are currently wrestling through this weighty calling, whether you are a new mama reading this devotional during nap time with spit-up on your shirt and coffee in your hand, or whether your children are fully grown and out of the house, our hope is that this book will point you to the love of Christ and the contentment that can be found in Him alone.
Bestselling author Abbie Halberstadt helps parents see how God can use the everyday trials of child raising to radically transform how they view hardship and grow to become more like Jesus.
"Why me, Lord?"
Amid the toddler tantrums, the mealtime melees, and the backseat blowups, have you found yourself asking God that same question? Maybe even screaming it into a couch pillow? You're not alone.
Your most trying moments as a parent can quickly spiral into discouragement, hopelessness, and sometimes even resentment toward God or your family—partly because our culture has conditioned us to believe that anything this hard can't possibly be good for us.
Abbie Halberstadt, author of the bestselling M Is for Mama, shares scriptural wisdom and lessons learned from her own challenges as a mama of ten to help shift your perspective on the hardships of parenting and of life, in general.
When you begin to see struggles as a necessary part of God's plan for your spiritual growth, you can discover supernatural peace and purpose, even when you're down in the deepest trenches of parenthood.
Every motherhood moment matters. Why? Because you matter. And your children matter. God knows every moment of your motherhood, and He cares about them all. This collection of curated and updated writings on motherhood from Emily A. Jensen and Laura Wifler is like a quick reference for gospel encouragement that is full of relability and hope for when you feel tired, afraid, limited, angry, overwhelmed and more.
A Million Tiny Moments reminds you that there is no motherhood moment too small to bring to God.
Bestselling authors Emily A. Jensen and Laura Wifler show moms how to navigate their everyday decisions and current circumstances through a biblical lens, and experience the freedom and confidence in who God made them to be.
If there’s one thing moms love, it’s a formula. Give us the three-step process, the instruction manual, the straightforward solution for how to mother with excellence and we’ll give it our best shot.
But we all know motherhood isn’t that simple. Each decision seems to present a thousand overwhelming options, or our circumstances suddenly change and we can’t keep up with “the plan,” or we see another mom making different choices and begin to doubt our own. All of this leaves us questioning our decision-making in motherhood.
So how can we find a secure identity in motherhood and know we’re “good” before the throne of God? By understanding the gospel story and how all of scripture applies to our lives. We need more than just to know what to do.
We need to know who to be.
Join Emily and Laura as together you explore what it truly means to be a gospel mom, a woman who is renewed by Christ’s righteousness, knows her mission and purpose, and lives free from guilt and unhealthy comparison.
As friends, fellow moms, and expert guides, Emily and Laura walk you step-by-step through the practices and thinking of how to rest in the grace of Christ, gaining peace and assurance in your motherhood.
As moms, we spend a lot of time looking down: at our phones, at the toddler at our feet, at our mounting to-do lists. We also gaze to the side, envious of what others have. We might even look behind us, nostalgic about the past or ahead in hope for a more manageable future. But what if God, through His Word, is gently placing His hand under our chins and lifting our eyes toward Him?
Derived from Psalm 121, these 40 devotions will help you lift your eyes from motherhood’s trials and fix them upon God’s character and strength. Alongside stunning original watercolor illustrations, Whitney Newby provides Bible verses, personal stories, and Scripture-based reflections that will encourage you amid motherhood's unique challenges.
These concise devotions offer powerful reminders of God's promises whenever and wherever you need them. When you fix your eyes on Him, you can move forward with purpose and hope in your mothering journey.
Motherhood is hard. In a world of five-step lists and silver-bullet solutions to become perfect parents, mothers are burdened with mixed messages about who they are and what choices they should make. If you feel pulled between high-fives and hard words, with culture’s solutions only raising more questions, you’re not alone.
But there is hope.
You might think that Scripture doesn’t have much to say about the food you make for breakfast, how you view your postpartum body, or what school choice you make for your children, but a deeper look reveals that the Bible provides the framework for finding answers to your specific questions about modern motherhood.
Emily Jensen and Laura Wifler help you understand and apply the gospel to common issues moms face so you can connect your Sunday morning faith to the Monday morning tantrum.
Discover how closely the gospel connects with today’s motherhood. Join Emily and Laura as they walk through the redemptive story and reveal how the gospel applies to your everyday life, bringing hope, freedom, and joy in every area of motherhood.
If discipling your children sounds like a daunting, shame-filled impossibility, you’re not alone. As a children’s pastor and father of four, Chris Ammen has experienced your frustration firsthand and understands that most parents feel inadequate for the task. But what if our inadequacy isn’t a failure, but is just the place from which God chooses to work?
In his debut book, Chris celebrates the freedom we have to disciple our children from a place of weakness and dependency on God while uncovering these key truths . . .
Truth #1: You are not the lynchpin of your child’s journey of discipleship. God is.
Truth #2: Discipleship is nothing less than God molding and shaping the entirety of our personhood into his image as those who delight in him and bring him glory.
Truth #3: You’re not qualified to disciple your children. But God is. And he can work through you to move your children closer to becoming more like his son, Jesus.
Let’s explore together what discipleship is and isn’t and what we can do to partner with God in loving and discipling our kids.
Mama of ten Abbie Halberstadt helps women humbly and gracefully rise to the high calling of motherhood without settling for mediocrity or losing their minds in the process.
Motherhood is a challenge. Unfortunately, our worldly culture offers moms little in the way of real help. Mamas only connect to celebrate surviving another day and to share in their misery rather than rejoice in what God has done and to build each other up in hard times. There has a be a better way, a biblical way, for mamas to grow and thrive.
As a daughter of Christ, you have been called to be more than an average mama. Attaining excellence doesn’t have to be unsettling but it will take committed focus and a desire to parent well according to God’s grace and for His glory.
M is for Mama offers advice, encouragement, and scripturally sound strategies seasoned with a little bit of humor to help you embrace the challenge of biblical motherhood and raise your children with love and wisdom.
Mama, you are worthy of the awesome responsibility God has given you. Now it’s time to start believing you can live up to it.
