My Thoughts:
Mom's Night Out is the the novelization for the movie with the same title written by Tricia Goyer. The book is a true to life look at the struggles and triumphs as a Mom we all feel. Allyson just wants a night out with her friends to go to a grown up restaurant to enjoy grown up company so she gets a GroupOn coupon and enlists the help of her husband to make it happen, someone has to watch the children. No one is prepared for the kind of night these families have including a missing child, a motorcycle gang from a tattoo parlor, and ending up at the police station.
Tricia Goyer's novelization of this movie is fantastic. I personally haven't seen the movie yet because I wanted to read the book first before seeing it. Mom's Night Out is a laugh out loud, keep your tissues close kind of book. As a Mom, I found myself relating to these women in almost all situations except I don't have twins. I loved all the characters in this story especially Bones, who is not what he seems. He is a big guy who is part of a motorcycle gang and owns a tattoo parlor. He does whatever he can to help the Moms in their search for a missing child and the husbands. Bones really gives of himself and definitely surprises Allyson. Once I started reading this book, I could not put it down. I spent much of my time laughing out loud and shaking my head as events unfolding were so familiar. I did also find myself crying in places where I could completely relate to feelings of being overwhelmed and undeserving of what I have with my family. This book really captures motherhood, parenting, and friendship. I truly enjoyed this book and highly recommend this book to anyone who reads Christian Fiction. You won't be disappointed! I give this book 5 STARS.
Mom's Night Out and Other Things I Miss Devotional to Help You Survive By Kerri Pomarolli is a great companion to the novel. Another laugh out loud, keep your tissues handy read. I found myself really looking inside myself and convicted on many of the issues and feelings brought up by this devotional. Kerri Pomarolli really captured things for Moms in all stages of life and all types of family situations whether married, single, stay at home, or working moms. Reading Kerri Pomarolli's anecdotes from her own life and family really helped to relate to her and what she was saying. I am personally a mom of two teenagers and a preteen and I really found myself relating to the things brought up in this devotional whether we were already through that season or not. I found myself thinking back to baby and toddler years remembering the good, bad, and the ugly. This devotional really opened my eyes to the fact I am not alone in my feelings and that it's alright to have these feelings. I learned a lot in this devotional and plan on reading it again especially when I am feeling inadequate. I found this devotional so inspiring and thought provoking and highly recommend reading it alongside Mom's Night Out. They really go hand in hand. I give this devotional 5 STARS.
