5 Books That Changed Me As A Mother

[@janetta5827]

Andrea, the interruptions were real moments and I actually enjoyed them. Thank you for leaving them in so others can see it is not all roses in any home. I am a grandma and loved the words about all women of all seasons blessing one another. I so enjoy many of you young gals here on youtube and I learn from each of you. Have a wonderfully blessed day.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you so much Janetta!

[@rebakz3049]

Thank you Andrea. In a deep spiritual friend kind of way, thank you. Moms need to support moms and that’s what you are doing for me.

[@patriciabritton5917]

Hey Andrea, Dont worry about your kids ever feeling like a interuption. They are not. It is just you living real life. So many youtubers want perfect videos and honestly that is not real life. Real life is real life and the fact you can multi task making a video a new born and 3 more boys is amazing. God bless you as you raise and nurture 4 boys. Your brave ha ha. I had 2 daughters and that was plenty for me but God has blessed us all with different Journeys. I can tell you are a great mom . Gods blessings on you and your family. Thanks for sharing the books. I will share them with our daughter. She has a almost 20 month old and another one on the way a little girl. So we are grandparents to almost 2.

[@PineandProspectHome]

That is so special that you share them, thank you so much!

[@michelehayes9509]

I enjoy the moments your children are around. Your channel is one of my favorites along with Our Oily House, Farmhouse on Boone and She Holds Dearly. A beautiful bunch of ladies.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Yes, I enjoy each of those sweet ladies as well!

[@burkies8273]

Yes! They are sisters!

Thank you Marisa!

I love this real life video :) . I love seeing the little boys being themselves, and just showing up covered in a blanket. It brings back memories, of our 2 grown sons. We have lots of videos of them when they were little. Sometimes we take them out and have a laugh. Children grow up too fast, enjoy them. Our youngest grandchild will be 10 next week! God bless.

[@curban616]

There were no interruptions that I saw, my dear. Life happens and being a Mom is the most amazing job in the whole world. Don’t worry about a messy home, or someone not sleeping long enough, or someone ready for a snack. Squeeze thos miracles you have in your home. Your love for your family is so obvious. Love your videos!

[@juliaharris7240]

I liked to see all the real-life moments you left in and the informal coffee date feel. Also, appreciate all the book recommendations. I actually cried at the end of your video. not even sure why.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Aw, thank you so so much, so happy to hear you enjoyed it!

[@margaretterracciano7620]

Thank you so much Margaret!

[@AP-gz6nq]

Just got home from an awful grocery shopping trip with my 3 and 5 year old after a particularly bad week. I can’t tell you how badly I needed a video like this. So looking forward to picking up some of these books.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Aw, we have all been there. Praying for you momma!

[@katypugh6492]

I really love all your motherhood and daily life videos soooo much! They are my favorite that you post! Your peaceful lifestyle is so encouraging in the Lord.

[@UpstateGrammy]

Andrea, you modeled how to handle interruptions with poise and grace. Good for you! Your family is truly blessed.💖

[@shelley_quilts]

Not frustrating at all ... your the mama to very little boys!! I am looking forward to getting "Adorned" as I am one of the "older" women!! It's hard for me to say that I will be 65 (shhhhhh) in just about 5 weeks!! I enjoyed your video very much Thank you for sharing a bit of your day & your family with all of us!!

[@PineandProspectHome]

I am so happy it was an encouragement to you, thank you Michele!

[@GardenMinistry.]

This was so cute, I am a huge pumpkin spice person, I love all.the.things! I truly didn't mind the little stops in there with the kids, that's real motherhood and it's adorable. Thanks for the book recommendations, I will have to put these on my list!

[@PineandProspectHome]

You are welcome, they are so good, I hope you enjoy them!

“As long as we are here on this earth, we are able to learn “ and to embrace /love the learning process. Thank you for encouraging me. You are beautiful 💖

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you!

[@cbb90945]

Thank you for sharing this selection of books! I love Sally Clarkson too! I have only read one of the books you mentioned though. I know you love your boys dearly but I also know that feeling of dread/frustration/sadness when you are expecting to get something accomplished during nap time but nap time ends abruptly 😞 Please give yourself grace during this postpartum time. Take a break if you need to(there is no way I was as put together as you are during those first few months). We will be here when you come back. You are beautiful and have such a kind heart. Take care of yourself sweet mama!!

[@beckylsparks]

This was one of my favorites of yours. It was just wonderful. Thank you. 🌹🌹🌹

[@chericook7575]

Thanks for sharing.. at almost 69 I’m still learning… I’m always keeping an eye out for new books.

[@burkies8273]

Thank you the recommenations! I struggle with reading, but find in the colder months I tend to gravitate towards them more. I'll have to put these on my list! Love your coffee mug!

[@PineandProspectHome]

I do as well, there is just something about cuddling up with a blanket and a book!

[@micheledryden1057]

I understand that you're producing content for multiple accounts and channels each week. Also, homeschooling your boys; cooking; cleaning; studying for Bible study; decorating; nursing a wee one; and healing from a C-section. No apologies needed ever, Andrea!! You are special, appreciated, and loved!! Hugs, Wonderful Mama! P.S. I've been reading your mom's blog, which is inspiring to me and edifying to our Savior. I also follow Laura and her sister, Lisa!

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you so so much Michele! It's so encouraging that you are following my mother as well, thank you for those book suggestions!

[@staciefreeman4396]

Thank you Andrea for the book recommendations. Interruptions can be divine, like your sister coming by to take the boys out for a while. Savor the little things, time speeds by with small children. Mine are 24 and 21 now, I have to look at pictures sometimes to remember those moments being a new and older mom. You are doing a great job loving them as you serve Christ.

[@averagegirl358]

Thank you Shannon!

[@itsmekaren1884]

Loved today’s Post ❤️ you are such a beautiful example for all mothers at any age.

[@maeb7723]

As a mom with 3 young children, watching you get "interrupted" was honestly such a relief. Sometimes I think I must be doing something wrong because quiet times never lasts as long as I want/need it to, and my kids still need me so much, although none of them are babies anymore. Seeing this gave me a little more peace, honestly. Thank you for leaving those moments in your videos. Those were some of my favorite parts. ❤️

[@CherieZack]

Such a great list of books. Thank you for taking the time to share them along with your boys. Such a sweet video. 😊

[@jostewart7446]

What a great pleasure to encounter a young woman of faith, parenting and homemaking with intention. And with such a cute home, too! Bless you! Also, will you share where you found the cantalevered floor lamp and plaid rug in your living room. So cute!

[@tammyr6669]

Hi Andrea, you live a real life like all mothers. We can relate and it's comforting to see how you handle your own situations. You are a beautiful role model and don't ever apologize for your family...we get it❤ Don't be hard on yourself. You are doing an awesome job!! Now, how another cup of coffee and breathe. Love the book suggestions.

[@ellef4812]

Such a sweet video! We’ve been catching up on so much reading as the fall weather has start to set it. I love Laura too! I made that pumpkin spice latte This morning from some pumpkins we roasted yesterday 🍂 Thanks for sharing your book list. I love listening to Sally Clarkson on Focus on The Family! She has blessed my motherhood journey! Another woman, and book that changed me as a mom, is 8 Great Smarts by Kathy Koch. It absolutely transformed my mind towards homeschooling my children. I highly recommend it for you if you have time. I discovered her on Focus on The Family too and have listened to her in person several times. I’ve even had the privilege of meeting her and chatting with her in person. God is using her ministry in such great ways. God bless you Andrea. Thanks for sharing!

I like gloomy days too especially in the Fall and since I’m a Michigander right along with you it is gray, rainy and gloomy today. Right now I’m all about my pumpkin spice coffee! ☕️☕️☕️ I’m going to have to force myself to drink my water today instead of coffee! All five books sound like they would be wonderful gifts for new moms! I enjoyed seeing the boys being boys before your commercial break, lol! As I’ve said before you are wise beyond your years, honey! I am so proud of how you put God and family first! Your heart is as big as the world! Thank you as always for sharing...love you!!! 🍁🧡🍁☕️

Oh man, I totally felt you when your kids came out of the room. Lol! Patience mama. 😊 Okay, continuing... I love Laura! I’m actually making her shampoo and conditioner recipes as I’m watching this! I was actually just thinking about finding a good recipe for a pumpkin spice latte and I haven’t seen her recipe yet! Yum! Thanks for sharing!

[@carolyost6733]

Your videos are real because life happens and little boys come out of room with a blanket on their head and cut quite time short. That makes it real. And cute for us viewers, maybe not so much for you. Another book needed with all those good choices would be GRACE AND MOTHERHOOD! Grace to start again when we fall flat on our face and dont behave how we want to. We babysit grandaughter,4, twice a week and believe me it wasnt our best week She was in a mood. And it took God's Strength to have the patience needed. 🙏

[@PineandProspectHome]

Aw, thank you Carol, I hope next week is better for you both!

You are such a beautiful woman! Inside and out!❤ I love watching your channel! Praise God 🙌for how you give Him glory in all that you do!❤❤❤ Also just wondering, I had my 6th baby just before you. Are you able to drink coffee ☕without it affecting Isaiah? Does he get fussy at all? The coffee drink you made looks wonderful but I had given up coffee because I thought it would make her fussy, I would love to have coffee.

[@PineandProspectHome]

I think each baby is different, my 2nd, Gabe was SO sensitive to every thing, but so far Isaiah doesn't seem to be. I would try a little bit and see, you never know!

[@gegeschannel8836]

We love whatever you share. Don’t worry. And I personally love when you are patty your baby on its bottom. I did the same and knew what you were doing. If others complained, they have never had a baby.
