· small, real-world changes that add up to a new outlook on life

In a social-media saturated world, it's all too easy to see the shiny lives of others and find your own less than lustrous. And while most women won't admit they're unhappy, they will tell you they just wish. "I love my life! I just wish ____." After 10-plus years of professional life online, Kate Strickler, founder of Naptime Kitchen, has experienced the many ways we see a life on the other side of the screen--and wish it were our own.
Setting out to fight the lie that what she had wasn't enough, Kate discovered simple perspective shifts that ultimately helped her fall in love with the life she already had. Here she shares the small changes you can make that add up to a whole new outlook on life. With her trademark real-life tips and life hacks mixed with humor and stories she's never shared before, Kate helps you identify and dismantle 10 lies about relationships, money, time, and home life. As you discover how to live and mother in ways that work for you and your family, you'll stop just wishing your life away--and begin to truly enjoy the one you already have.
Advance Praise
"Naptime Kitchen blogger Strickler details in her down-to-earth debut how the chronically dissatisfied can swap comparison for contentment. As a young mom, the author struggled with “knowing my life was a gift” while envying the spacious kitchens and attractive outfits she scrolled past on social media. Deciding to reframe her frustrations, she learned to transform her dreams of a bigger, cleaner kitchen (less a superficial desire than a hunger for domestic happiness, she writes) into gratitude for the messes and spills of a vibrant family life... The result is a welcome reminder to stop and smell the roses."
