This book came at just the right time for me. The toughest part of adjusting to my full-time stay-at-home mom status is trying to find my boundaries, to know what to say yes to and what to say no, while still feeling productive and fruitful. So, without further ado, let me share with you my top 9 takeaways from Say Goodbye to Survival Mode! 1. Realize that SuperMom doesn’t exist. You cannot physically do it all. Even if you did, you would be so exhausted, you wouldn’t be doing it whole-heartedly anyway. Our kids need us to be present, not just going the the motions to get it all done. Less really is more. 2.
