Diary of a Sahm

By Jess Newman and Rick Menard

Jess is a stay-at-home-mum.
With three children she deals daily with the dramas that result from babies refusing to sleep, tantrums thrown in shopping centres, and her own melodramatic tendencies.
Sometimes she's sure her children were sent to test her, and to prove she's not exactly the best person for the job.
She's also certain that God blessed her with these little monkeys and is doing His best to help her raise them for His glory. Which in her mind, is the highest calling in life.

This is her diary; always authentic, generally hopeful, and more than a little crazy.
