This book touched me on so many levels. I'm a home schooling mom, I do the books for my husband's business, and I have my own business. This year has been rough one because my husband had cancer and I felt like I had to be strong for everyone. All of that on top of trying to keep everyone education, fed, clean…. you get the picture.This book was so good for my soul. It reminded me that yes I am important too that I can still be me – more than a wife, mom, and maid. I'm still Mandie… maybe. This book made me go search for her and I found myself. I'm working toward more me time. It is hard for me because I always carry that mommy guilt. I should be doing this with XXXX insert name. I'm letting that go. I still spend plenty of time with everyone but I'm spending time with ME too.Nourished was amazing because it was broken into little segments and you got different viewpoints. Not everyone is the same. I can't recommend this book enough!I received a copy for my honest review, no other compensation was receivedthe authors:

I like to sit and drink a couple cups of coffee before starting the day.
I try hard to balance my diet but sometimes I just don’t have time to prepare a nutritious meal. That’s why I would love to read this book. Even if I don’t win the book I plan to get it anyway. Thank you for the giveaway.
I try to get enough rest and drink lots of water,
