Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic copy to read and review.

An ode to mothers and the endless amount of love they provide! Cute says that you can browse for times when you wonder 'why did I choose this life' as you tire from unending laundry piles, spit ups, and toddler tantrums.

If you are a mother, this book is for you. This book is filled with pictures of a quick memes about what a mother goes through. The whole book is just each page a new meme. I liked it but wished that there was more to it then just a picture on each page.

Fun book of short illustrated quotes about motherhood. Each page sort of feels like something you would find on Instagram, which I like. Some of them are funny, some encouraging, and some supportive or inspirational. This would be a good book to give a mom friend as a gift. I think my favorite part is that the book is strictly about motherhood and mom's relationship with kids, so it is universally applicable to moms whether they are biological, adoptive, foster, no matter how many kids they have, and whether or not they have a partner.

I would like to thank NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this ebook.

Filled with relatable mommy quotes in colourful fonts and illustrations, What It Means to Be a Mom by Jewel Nunez is certainly a fun book to flip through. Years from now, when your kids are all grown up, you could read this again and be surprised by all the hardships and sacrifices that you went through in the early years and feel proud of how far you've come. Also, it would make you yearn for those simple days when you were your kids' superheroes.

I thought that this book was brilliant!

The book is well laid out and I loved the phrases used and the little snippets here and there, it was funny, positive, made me check myself in relation to how much my little person loves me irrespective or everything that happens too and I am doing as much and all I can for her as well.

I read the book in February, in the middle of lockdown, whilst working from home full time, and being home alone with a three year old a lot of the time as my husband works shifts for the Police - It was like a very very welcome warm hug to remind me of all the positives and it gave me a real smile and a well needed boost.

This would be a great present to give to any mum friends and mum relatives too - a great present to celebrate those mummies out there whatever stage they are at in their journey, expecting, with toddlers and preschool age like myself or teenagers too - it is a really positive read and it is 5 stars from me for this one - very highly recommended!

If you're a mom...then you need this book. I don't think I stopped smiling while reading this. Every mom truth in here seemed to resonate with me on some level. And almost every mom truth brought forth a memory of my kids that made me think of them. Jewel has done a great job on capturing what it means to be a mom. The humor and truth behind it was spot on.

What It Means to Be a Mom is an inspirational and motivational book that will touch the heart of any mom. This book contains 150 easy-to-read entries that are perfect for a smile. It’s also a quick read since most Moms don’t have time for long books.... Each is told with real humor and really touches on both the pain points of being a mom (endless love and patience required!) and humor (it really DOES take a village to raise a kid and it WOULD help if it has ample vineyards)!

Whether a new or seasoned parent, any mom will enjoy this book on what being a mom really means. Because Jewel is right—there really is nothing better than having a child tell you “I love you” to make the mommy journey worthwhile! I may just gift this one for the moms in my life this Mother’s Day.
