Book Review: Rattled by Trish Berg

**POST A COMMENT FOR A CHANCE TO WIN A COPY OF RATTLED BY TRISH BERG**

The first time I met Trish Berg, I liked her. She's upbeat and encouraging.

When I read Rattled, I could hear Trish's friendly voice in the words written on the pages of her book--and I smiled.

If you're a mom, you know how we moms need one another. Rattled is a huge dose of "You Can Do It!" encouragement, with ample amounts of honesty and humor thrown in. You've got to love a woman who describes motherhood as "a breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, twenty-four-hours-a-day on-demand job that will drain every ounce of energy you have--and then some."

Chapters include Mapping Out Motherhood (The First Three Trimesters), Camouflaging Your Imperfections (Becoming the Mom You Want to Be), and Reviving Your Friendships (The Emotional Life of a Mom).

Trish packs each chapter until it's overflowing with information: personal stories, helpful lists, quotes from other moms, Scripture quotes and even study questions.

Here's a favorite "Food for Thought" list from the Discovering Camp Palooza chapter, which focuses on finding fun in the every day.
