Updated with winners: Thanks for entering! Here are the two random winners: Care-in and Miki! Congratulations!
One of the most fabulous parts of blogging is meeting other moms. Moms that rock (yes, Moms like you).
I met Steady Mom (Jamie Martin) via Works For Me Wednesday.
Her new book, Steady Days is a journey toward intentional professional motherhood. It includes practical ideas, inspiration, schedules, worksheets and more!
“You already have the skills you need to be an incredible mother. Empower yourself by reading Steady Days and implementing the ideas to benefit those important little people who call you mom,” Jamie Martin.
Simply put, this book is a handbook for mothers.
And hello, if your kids are like mine (I’m currently scrubbing marker off my toddler’s door) than a manual sounds SPLENDID.
It’s an easy read that helps moms develop an organized parenting plan.
A manual sounds good to me, I need all the help I can get! Thanks!
Me! Me! Me! Pick meeeee!
Oh that sounds heavenly right about now! I need all the help I can get!
I'll take all the help I can get:o)
I have scrubbed alot of marker in my days. Thank you so much.

Love this…I have a marker-weilding toddler, too! They sound like they'd have great fun together driving their Mommas nuts! I could use this book on more than one occassion!
I need the help!!
Maybe this would work for me.
That book sounds soooo interesting! If I don't win it, I may have to go out and buy it!

I read an interview with the author and it sounds like a good book. Sign me up for a giveaway!
I am ALWAYS open to new ideas with regard to parenting. Sure would have been nice to receive a manual with the birth of each child though!! lol
I'd love a copy. I love the concept of intentional parenting and strive for it daily. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome idea! I'd love to read this!
Hi. I need to read this. Please.
You would think I have this "mothering" thing down pat…I have an almost 13 year old. But today. Oh Today! Another day off of school and it drove me crazy, they drove each other crazy and my house is just driving me crazy. Too many hours inside it this winter.
Get me this book quick!
You're only giving away 1 book, because the other one is mine. Seriously – that book was written for me – read this and you'll see how badly I need it!

I love reading your blog. My 5 are all grown up, but I would love to share this book with a special young mom in my life. Good luck with the marker. I once had a large ship crayoned on the cream colored living room carpet.
I would love to read this book!
A manual! A manual! I'd love a manual!
Everyone is giving away this book. Maybe third time's a charm?

After 5 children, you'd think I could write that kind of book….oh, no, not me, I am sure open to all sorts of advice and inspiration. Thanks for the chance to learn more about being the mother God has called me to be.
A manual…finally! There are days when I know I am doing it all wrong and need new ideas and encouragement!

I would love to win a copy. And even if I don't, sounds like I need to go buy it!!
I feel awfully hasty asking for a free give-a-way book [that you most likely purchased] when there are all of these other moms here pleading for it.
I just want to thank you so much though for posting and sharing this. A dear friend of mine follows your blog and immediate forwarded this to me.
I've been a stay at home mom for a year now.. and still haven't found my groove. I've been praying for guidance, patience, and… well… I'm getting somewhere. And I feel that this is just another message to help me further.
Thanks for sharing this book with all of us moms clearly seeking something. You have a beautiful family!
I love to read and need help with organizing my parenting plan! Sounds great !

I really want to read this book! It looks great. Now, I just have to decide how many times I will try to win it before I break down and buy a copy.
Intentional motherhood! I love that expression. I heard a lady speak on intentional parenting one time. It has changed my thinking in many ways. I bet this is a great book. By the way, I also have a hubby with a secret. I'm still praying that God will work to heal our marriage.
Sounds like a great book! I'm a planner/organizer and I love lists and schedules, so this sounds like the book for me. B @ http://frymanfour.blogspot.com

Please! I want to read this desperately! And wow … does this fit perfectly with what I'll be sharing over the next few weeks on my blog about purposeful living! How exciting!!
Oh Heavens, I would take anything that would help me be a better mother. Somedays I feel like I am failing miserably. Yikes
Hope I didn't enter too late…. Looks like a great book!
I so need a manual! My 18 month old daughter is a tad on the unruly side and is killing her mama. I love your blog. It helps me remember I'm not the only one at battle with life.
I need this book BAD! I always feel like I'm not getting everything done that I need to in a day. I'm usually very organized but I guess now that I have a toddler that went away
sounds wonderful. thanks for the chance to win!
blessings,
shana

I have been watching the release date come closer and closer. I really want to read this book. Far too often there are books full of advice without practical examples of how to implement it. I (think?) it sounds like this book will be a good one!!
