This is a book I've been desperately needing since I've become a new mom almost 2 and half months ago! Like anybody else, some days are better than others and being a postpartum first time mom dealing with a newborn and not knowing anything, I feel like I've been thrown to the wolves and said good luck. This has helped bring back my mentality and my spirituality to almost where it was before I had our daughter. This devotional has been truly amazing and I feel like it was God showing me the way to finding this book and being accepted to read this at my leisure. This has been truly inspirational and I couldn't be happier!

I would love to thank the author, publisher and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this ARC book in exchange for an honest review.

This is a great devotional for new moms but all moms really. We put so much pressure on ourselves to be all the things or do things the best way or a certain way. I love how the stories tie in with scripture and it’s all very encouraging.. would be a great gift!

I once saw a meme that said “it’s funny how our childhood punishments become our adult rewards!” I remember when my children were in that chaotic baby and toddler stage begging someone to send Mommy for a timeout too! During those early childhood seasons, mothers experience so much fatigue, stress, self doubt, overwhelm and guilt among other things. As a Christian mother you, feel guilty because you no longer have the capacity or time to sit down and have devotion time with God like you used to. “Two Minute Timeout” is the perfect remedy to meeting Christian mother’s spiritual and emotional needs. I used to say during those seasons of my life “you need to snack on God”. God doesn’t require a specific amount of time given to Him, he just asks that we are good stewards of what we have. He knows mothers have zero time, and is delighted that we would even choose to give him some of the crumbs that we have left. This book is so much more than giving time to God. It’s wonderful for any new mother’s mental health. It helps you apply your faith to challenges, encourages you in areas you feel inadequate or places we beat ourselves up over. It gives us perspective and even has opportunity to develop character. Each day’s devotion includes a scripture, a story of wisdom based on the scripture and a small prompt to get you to apply it. It will only take 2 minutes and it will be two minutes of respite every over stretched mother needs. It would be a perfect gift for any new mother or someone you know who needs a little encouragement in their day

I am a first time mom and we're hitting the terrible twos. I have never needed a two minutes time out for myself more than now.

I'll be coming back to this, and buying it for other first time mom's in my life.

Two-Minute Timeouts for New Moms is a valuable and insightful resource and tutorial for new mothers. whether feeling overwhelmed, stressed, invisible, or simply worried they might not meet everyone's demands and expectations, Andrea offers words of encouragement in a gentle and reassuring manner.

this is an amazing book, I can not wait for the publish date so I can buy my own copy and share it with my mom group. my only pet peeve was that it was hard to follow the digital version at some points. As a new mom with a little one under a year, the timeouts were the perfect amount to do at anytime of the day. In the car, during a meal, while nursing or feeding baby, while cooking, bedtime, morning or middle of the night.

Though this book is marketed towards new moms, I felt that it was a good read for myself who is definitely not a new mom, as I have two kids. Despite that, the short devotions spoke to me and the guided questions prompted me to see things differently too.

What a sweet book for a mom. I am adding this book to my list of things to give as gifts. I liked picking up this book when I had a moment or two during the first three months of my son's life and reading a devotion here and there. I may admit that I did put myself in time out once or twice with this book and escape it all for a moment of quiet peace.

Wow. What an absolute treasure this book is. I believed this to be for new moms based off of the title. After reading several devotions, I had to stop and text a few friends about it. What a gem this book is for all mothers, new, seasoned, adoptive, foster, etc. I especially love the scripture at the start of each day, the wisdom shared and the guided prayer. Two-Minute Timeouts for New Moms will be treasured and gifted to the mothers in my circle for sure. Well done!

A heartwarming, faith-filled devotional designed to support and encourage new mothers through the challenges and joys of early parenthood. Structured around the themes of faith, hope, and love, the book offers 100 short, uplifting reflections that speak directly to the exhaustion, doubts, and isolation many new mums experience.

Andrea’s writing is authentic and relatable, as she shares personal stories of her own struggles—from sleepless nights to moments of self-doubt—while grounding each lesson in Scripture. The faith section encourages mums to trust God in their weaknesses, the hope section reminds them they are never alone, and the love section celebrates the messy, beautiful reality of raising children. Each devotion ends with a prayer and reflective questions, making the book interactive and practical.

What makes this book stand out is its balance of honesty and hope. Andrea doesn’t shy away from the hard parts of motherhood but instead offers a perspective shift, helping mums see their struggles as opportunities to grow closer to God. Her warmth, humour, and wisdom make this devotional feel like a conversation with a trusted friend.

Perfect for busy mums, Two-Minute Timeouts for New Mums is a quick but profound source of encouragement. Whether you’re a first-time mum or a seasoned parent, this book will leave you feeling seen, supported, and inspired to embrace the sacred, chaotic, and beautiful journey of motherhood.
