Friday Book Review~ Mom, Rediscovered by Jen Butler

Mom, Rediscovered
Author: Jen Butler
Publisher: Invisible Ink Books
Publication Date: October 21, 2025
Print Length: 308 pages
Mom, Rediscovered by Jen Butler, is her beautifully written
debut book. This heartfelt and honest book drew me in from the very
beginning. Jen’s story is raw but
extremely relatable. In Mom, Rediscovered, Jen shares with readers some of her
most personal and painful parts of her life. As soon as I started reading, I
immediately felt a connection to this story. I, too, was a child of divorce.
Our stories had similar experiences, but we each had our own, too. Her feelings
of not feeling good enough are so common for children of divorce. We often
wonder what we did wrong, and we become people pleasers. I’ll admit, I carried
a lot of baggage into my adult life, too. Jen’s story shows that we are not
alone, that there are people out there who do understand. It’s a shame that we
often hide our fears, doubts, worries, and pain. Jen lost herself in motherhood
(I can definitely relate).
Even if you can’t relate completely to Jen’s story, there
are parts of her struggles that we as wives and mothers can relate to. No
matter how strong and confident we may seem, we all struggle with self-doubt.
How we choose to handle that can look different, but we are all struggling to
find our way, especially in a world where so many people are ready to criticize
every little thing a mother does.
Mom, Redicovered shares the lonely path we often face as
mothers. In her story, Jen shares how she found her way out of the gray area of
drinking. A small glass of wine leads to another. Oddly, we see this
glorified in today's culture. All you have to do is open up Facebook or
Instagram, and you will see moms everywhere sharing their wine glasses. Jen
shares how hard it was to admit the truth and ask for help. I love how honest
Jen was about her struggle with drinking, diet culture, and being who you are.
I love how she shared her triumphs and setbacks. Her story is real. I’m so glad
she shared it with the world. I truly believe that so many women could benefit
from reading this memoir.

I received this book as an advanced reader's copy for my honest opinion.

I'm a week late, but I wanted to share a book review last week. I can't believe September has come and gone. Another month of reading has come to a close, and the end of 2025 is fast approaching. I have no doubt I'll reach my reading goal. In fact, I have a feeling I may exceed it this year.
2025 Reading Goal~ 125 Books
I've read 102 books so far this year. Good reads says I'm 11 books ahead of my schedule this year, so I'm thinking I'm going to exceed my goal.
Here's how my book recap goes~
~ I have included pictures if I have them and have provided links to them on Amazon so you can find out more about the books before you buy or check them out at your local library.
~ If I left a more detailed review for a book, I'll include the link under the book so you can check it out. I leave reviews for books I really like or have received for reviews on Amazon, Goodreads, and this blog.
~If I receive a preview book, I'll include the release date for you.
~ Each book will have a rating in bold. I rate each book with a numbered star.
The rating system I use is as follows ~
*5 This book was amazing! I couldn't put it down. I loved the book so much that I either bought the book or planned to buy it to add to my ever-growing collection so I could reread it.
*4 This means the book is definitely worth reading. I really enjoyed the book. I liked it, but not enough to buy it and add it to my collection.
*3 This book was good. It wasn't the best book I've read, but I did enjoy it. I wouldn't need to read it again.
*2 This book was okay. I finished it, but had to force myself to. I probably didn't like the plot or the characters. The story just didn't work for me.
*1 This means I didn't like the book at all, and I couldn't finish it.
Here are this month's books~
4****
This was the third book I read by Kim Davis. I love the sweet, quirky mysteries she writes. They are an easy read, but I just love the characters.
3***
This was an ARC review for boksirens. I really wanted to love this book. I enjoyed the characters, and the plot had so much potential. I just didn't enjoy the writing style and the mistakes throughout the book were distracting. You can read my full review on Goodreads.
Meet Me in The Dark by Laura Ahley Gallagher *ARC Review
4****
This was another ARC Review I received. This was my first time reading a book by this author. The characters are great! I loved the book. It's a spicy romance, so if you are not a fan of spice, this may not be for you. The story is great, though, and who doesn't want happily ever after? You can read my review here.
Mom, Rediscovered by Jen Butler *ARC Review
5*****
This is Jen's debut memoir, and it delivers. It is a must-read for moms of all ages. She recounts her life and struggles as a mom. I'll be posting a review in a few weeks!
3***
3***
This was another new author for me. I think I got these two books from a stuff your Kindle day. I honestly don't remember. I was in the mood to read a fall-themed book, so this one was the first one I came across on my Kindle. I then, of course, just followed up with the 2nd book (which is set during Christmas). Both books are about a small-town romance. They are cute and I liked all the characters. They were easy, quick reads.

Teaching Tuesdays~ The Story of Creation

Welcome to another week of Teaching Tuesdays. Each week, I'm going to be sharing what we are learning in Sunday school.
Welcome to another week of Teaching Tuesdays. Each week, I'm going to be sharing what we are learning in Sunday school.
Our saint this week was Saint Martha. Saint Martha was a friend of Jesus. They had a very special friendship. Jesus often visited Martha's home. After reading a short biography about Martha. The children colored a picture of her. You can find it over at Catholic Playground.
Martha's virtue is faith. Faith is believing in God and all He has revealed.
After our saint and virtue lesson, we moved on to our first Old Testament Lesson... The Story of Creation. I read Alice in Bibleland The Story of Creation. The children enjoyed the story, especially since I had them make the animal sounds of all the animals mentioned in the story.
After our story, we worked on our craft for the day. It was a creation wheel. I used this one.
Source~Crafting the Word of God
We did an easy scavenger hunt around the room. I used a game from That Resource Site (the site is no longer around), called Know and Go Who Made It? Essentially, it consists of images of various objects, including trees, flowers, fireworks, bridges, skyscrapers, and animals. I cut the images out and taped them up around the room. The children then recorded their guesses on a worksheet. G for God and M for man.
After our Old Testament lessons, we moved on to our Catechism lesson. I showed the children a variety of Bibles, ranging from little children's Bibles all the way to my family Bible. They learned the Bible is broken up into two parts: The Old Testament(before Jesus) and the New Testament(after Jesus).
I had the children guess how many books are in the Bible. For Catholics, we have 73 books (Old 46/New 27). Each child is given a children's Bible to take home.
We hand out The Jesus Storybook Bible.
We ended class by working on the Sign of the Cross. We practiced together, and then I had each child do the Sign of the Cross on their own. This is the first year that every child already knew how to do it. I send home a coloring page with the movements home with each child. You can find it here.

Meet Me in the Dark
Author: Laura Ashley Gallagher
Publisher: Independently Published
Publication Date: September 5, 2025
Print Length: 395 pages
Meet Me in the Dark is the 3rd book in the
Skeptically in Love series. I haven’t read the first two books in the series
yet. I don’t feel like you need to read the books in order. I feel they can
easily be standalone books.
We first meet Celeste and her two best friends in a
hilarious exchange of conversation with Celeste’s doctor after her surgery for
endometriosis. Celeste, an architect, is a strong, independent woman who is
still trying to figure out what she wants out of life. After suffering from endometriosis
for years, she is hopeful that this surgery will change her life.
Celeste decides to go out of her comfort zone and attend a
secret, invite-only party. This is no ordinary party, though. Celeste never
expects to see him again. The man who has occupied her thoughts and dreams. But
life has a way of twisting our plans.
Julian Blackwood is a successful businessman. He likes to be
in control. After a difficult childhood, he knows what he wants and isn’t
afraid to get what he wants. He is shocked and intrigued when he realizes that
his new architect for his company project is none other than the woman he can’t
get out of his mind.
One night of passion leads them down a very interesting path. Both
characters are amazing. I love the banter between the two. I fell in love with
both of them and was rooting for them. I honestly enjoyed all the characters.
They were well-connected, and the relationships between them seemed real. You
can easily see yourself hanging out with them. I am looking forward to reading
the first two books in this series.
.png)
If you’re looking for a romance story with great, relatable
characters, this story is the one. The story is well written; the characters
are amazing, believable, and fun to get to know. The story does have some spice, so be prepared!
I had never
read any stories by this particular author before. I had no idea what to expect. I’m
so glad I was given the chance to review this book and get to know this author!
I received this book as an advanced copy for my honest review.
Enjoyed this post?

Hello friends! I'm joining Joyce over at From This Side of the Pond for Wednesday's Hodgepodge. Each week, she hosts a weekly link-up that is a collection of questions for bloggers to answer. It's to help bloggers get to know each other better and have a little bit of fun! It's a great way to hang out with friends. So grab a cup of coffee or tea if you prefer and join in on the fun.
So, what is a hodgepodge? A hodgepodge is an unorganized mixture of various things, a jumble of items that don't belong together.
Here are this week's questions and my answers for this week's Wednesday Hodgepodge~
1. What's your favorite fall scent? Would we find this in or around your home right now?
I love apple caramel, and pumpkin scents. Nothing with too much cinnamon. It triggers a migraine for me. I have candles and wax warmers. One of my favorite scents from Scentsy for the fall is called Scary Good. Unfortunately, they no longer make it, so I'll have to find a new favorite.
2. October is Country Music Month...are you a fan of country music? Do you have a favorite country artist? Ever been to Nashville? In terms of lifestyle, are you more country mouse or city mouse?
Country music is one of my favorite genres of music. I enjoy Kenny Chesney in the summer. I like a lot of the older classic artists like Alan Jackson, Toby Keith, Martina McBride, etc. I find a lot of the new country music isn't so country anymore.
I've never been to Nashville, but I've been to other areas of Tennessee.
I was once a city mouse; I lived right outside of New York City. I worked in the city during my college years. Now, I'm a country mouse. I prefer the quiet and calm that country life gives me.
3. How about 'country cooking'? (loosely defined as rich flavors, familiar foods, large portions, often fried, and often associated with the southern region of the US of A)?
chicken and dumplings-fried chicken-shrimp and grits-biscuits and gravy-mac and cheese-fried green tomatoes-cornbread-collard or turnip greens-deviled eggs-'barbecue'-gumbo-banana pudding
Which of the foods listed is your favorite? Any on the list you haven't tried or would say a firm no thank you to if offered?
I am not a fan of country cooking. I don't like fried food. Most of the country foods have flour which I can not have. I do like a good homemade mac and cheese, though.
4. What's something that always has a positive impact on your mood?
I love spending time outside working in my flower garden. It has a calming effect on me. Going to Mass always leaves me with a peaceful feeling. I walk out of Mass and feel sense of calm like I get from nothing else. My stress and worries seem to disappear.
5. As we say so long to September share a noun, a verb, and an adjective that tells us something about how that month looked for you.
Excitement~ I was able to go to one of my daughter's OBGYN appointments. I was able to see my sweet little grandson moving around. It was so special to see him. I know my daughter will be the most amazing mom.
6. My church's bible study for women started this month. We are reading through Colossians. It amazes me how relevant this book in the BIble is to today. It's sad that we as people don't seem to learn from our past mistakes. Is society doomed to repeat the same sins? When will we learn to accept one another? When will we start treating people with the same respect we deserve and want?

Teaching Tuesdays~ Getting to Know One Another
Please note that posts may contain affiliate links. If you choose to click on a link, add it to your cart, and complete your purchase, I will receive a small percentage. We are very grateful for this additional source of income. Thank you.
Good Morning, friends! Well, our first class was a success. I have nine adorable little ones this year. There are 6 boys and 3 girls in my class this year. I like having a smaller class. I feel like I get to know them a little better when there are not so many little ones needing help.
Our first class is always an introduction class. We door a room tour. I explain our theme, the prayer wall, our prayer table, and the good deeds jar, and we go over the expectations and rules for the year.
I shared our theme in my previous post. I did a farm theme this year.
Our prayer wall has posters of the 5 prayers we will be learning this year: The Sign of the Cross, The Our Father, The Hail Mary, The Glory Be, and the Guardian Angel.
Each student has a progress chart that goes along with our farm theme.
To get to know one another, I start with simple introductions. I have everyone, including myself, share our name, our favorite color, any pets we may have, and any sports we may play. The children love learning about each other and enjoy finding out that they have similar likes and dislikes.
After our introductions, we play a Get To Know You Bingo game. I couldn't find the link to the one I use; I've used it for years, but a simple Google search will pop up tons of choices that would work for children of various ages.
After our game, we talked a little bit about what a saint is and what a virtue is. I showed them our posters, where we will add a new saint and virtue each week.
We then read the introduction and Seeing the Lord from Little Acts of Grace 2. These are a great introduction to God and how He loves us and is always with us.
After our story, it was time to line up and head home.

Here we are, and it's already the last Monday of September. So long summer, hello fall! As much as I love the holiday seasons, I am missing the beautiful, sunny days of summer. The leaves are changing colors, and they have started to fall softly to the ground. Some of my flowers have started to die, so the garden is looking a little sad. The mums are still going strong. We had a busy weekend. Michael and Therese both worked on Saturday. I spent the day with the hubby. On Sunday, I went to Mass and then taught my little ones about Adam and Eve. We had a fun class!
So, let's get started with Happy Homemaker Monday with our beautiful hostess, Sandra from Diary of a Stay at Home Mom. Be sure to stop in, grab a cup of coffee or tea, and say hi.
The Weather in My Neck of the Woods~
We've had some cloudy, dreary days here. We did get some much-needed rain, though. The temperatures are getting cooler, and they seem to be staying there. I may need to pull out my winter clothes. It's going to get down to 45 one night this week!
Monday~ Cloudy, 74*
Tuesday~ Cloudy, 71*
Wednesday ~ Partly Sunny, 69*
Thursday~ Sunny, 63*
Friday~ Sunny, 66*
Saturday~ Cloudy, 67*
Sunday~ Cloudy, 70*
As I Look Out My Window~
It's still dark as I type up this post, so there isn't much to see yet. It's supposed to be cloudy today, so I'll be missing the sunshine.
Thinking and Pondering~
To be honest, my mind is all over the place. I'm still trying to understand all that has been going on in the world today. I started my Bible study last week, and it is so relevant to what we are going through right now. I feel like God knew we needed to read Colossians to deal with what we are facing day in and day out. I'm hoping this helps heal my heart and gives me the strength that I need. I know he is here with me. I just need to rely on Him more.
How I'm Feeling~
I've gotten back into eating healthy again. I always feel so much better when I'm putting good food into my body. My plan this week is to get back into walking. Ruby needs some exercise (and so do I). I'm just hoping the rain holds off so we can hike through he neighborhood.
What's on My Nightstand~
My Bible and the Catholic Mom's Prayer Companion: A Book of Daily Reflections.
Morning and Evening Prayers by Charles Spurgeon.
My kindle
Rooted and Radient
What's for Breakfast~
I started out with coffee with brown sugar oat creamer and collagen. I ate 2 eggs with cheese on a gluten-free English muffin. The gluten-free English muffins from Trader Joe's are the best.
Looking Around the House~
I need to take off the couch covers and wash them. I wanted to do them last week, but with the cloudy skies and rain, I couldn't hang them out to dry.
On My To-Do List This Week~
Laundry
Clean the bathroom
Sweep the front porch
Vacuum and Mop
Clean out the chicken coop. I need to prep it for winter.
Happening This Week~
Monday~ Chiro
Thursday~ Bible Study

What Book Did I Buy/Borrow This Week?

What is the Book I Most Want to Read Right Now?
I have The Bookseller of Dachau and The Lost Bookshop on my TBR list for next month.

What is Feeding My Creativity Right Now?
The fall colors and music. I've been listening to fall-inspired music from the 40s and 50s. I'm loving it. It brings back so many memories of my grandparents. I miss them dearly. I guess I'm longing for a time when the world felt calm, peaceful, and safe.
I'm linking up with The Sunday Salon, Stacking the Shelves, It's Monday! What are you reading?, and The Sunday Post.

Wednesday Hodpodge~ September 17, 2025

Hello friends! I'm joining Joyce over at From This Side of the Pond for Wednesday's Hodgepodge. Each week, she hosts a weekly link-up that is a collection of questions for bloggers to answer. It's to help bloggers get to know each other better and have a little bit of fun! It's a great way to hang out with friends. So grab a cup of coffee or tea if you prefer and join in on the fun.
So, what is a hodgepodge? A hodgepodge is an unorganized mixture of various things, a jumble of items that don't belong together.
Here are this week's questions and my answers for this week's Wednesday Hodgepodge~
1. Are you more the life of the party or more party pooper? If your answer is somewhere in the middle, which side of the middle do you lean towards more?
I have to admit, I'm probably more of a party pooper. As I've gotten older, I don't mind a good party, but I tend to want to leave early. I get frustrated with too many people, and I'm more of a homebody now. Now, if I'm enjoying the party and I am having a good time, then I most definitely will stay. I'm quieter and reserved, so I don't think I've ever been the life of the party.
Birthday party, beach party, cocktail party, dinner party, charity fundraiser, surprise party, costume party, garden party, Christmas party, reunion...what's your favorite kind of party?
Christmas and birthday parties are the best! Christmas, well, it's Christmas. I love Christmas. I love baking and decorating. It's such a joyous and happy time. The only costume parties I ever went to were when I was in middle school. I had a friend who threw a party every year for our class. It was a lot of fun back then.
2. Cheese, wine, and balsamic vinegar all improve with age. What would you personally add to the list?
Maturity! Yes, there are exceptions, but I truly do believe that as we age and live, we experience more and our maturity grows. We've learned life's hard lessons. We experienced the ups and downs of life. We've seen goodness and badness. We've felt love and pain. The experiences we go through over the years shape us, mold us, and help us grow into the person we are today. If we let it, these journeys will help us mature and grow as a person. Or at least I hope they do.
3. How do you feel about your birthday? How do you want to be celebrated? Or don't you?
When I was little, I loved birthday parties. I loved having friends over and eating cake. Now at 51, I'd much rather do something simple. This past year, I went to a Lavender farm, and it was wonderful. The gardens were beautiful. I spent the day with my family, and I got two new plants for my garden. Definitely, no surprise parties...I hate them!
4. What remarkable feat, interesting piece of trivia, or historical event occurred on your birth day and month? Not necessarily your same birth year, just the same date/month.
D-Day...the Allied Invasion of Normandy. I don't think anything else can really top that. Whenever I tell people my birthday, they immediately say D-Day. Well, the older people do. I don't get it too much from younger people. Maybe they don't know about it anymore. I was born really close to Uncle's birthday (3 days) and my grandfather's birthday (7 days).
5. Share two good things about your life right now.
Well, the most exciting thing right now is I'm going to be a grandma. So that's huge! I'm looking forward to this journey.
My hubby has been working on repairing and upgrading our covered porch. It needed it, so I'm excited to see the finished project when he's done!
6. I've been thinking of my late grandmother lately. It's probably because I'm going to be a grandmother soon. She passed away when I was 14, so she's been gone longer than I had her in my life. She was an amazing woman. Loving, caring, and always putting her family first. We lived with her and my grandfather when my parents were getting divorced. She was the glue for the family. I want to be that grandma. I want to spend time with my family. Cherish them. Play with the little ones. Bake cookies with them. I want my family to know that I love them and that they are the most important things in this world to me. I think we need to be more focused on our families and God during these difficult times. God and family first....my new motto to live by.
