Mom’s Night Out #bookreview @Litfuse

 

Moms’ Night Out is a novelization of the hilarious family comedy that celebrates real family life—where everything can go wrong and still turn out all right.

All Allyson and her friends want is a peaceful, grown-up evening of dinner and conversation . . . a long-needed moms’ night out. But in order to enjoy high heels, adult conversation and food not served in a bag, they need their husbands to watch the kids for a few hours-what could go wrong?

Chronicling one night out gone awry, three harried moms, their husbands, a sister-in-law with a misplaced baby, a tattoo parlor owner, a motorcycle gang, and a bewildered cabbie all learn to embrace the beautiful mess called parenting. This book spotlights the unfulfilled expectations and serial self-doubts many moms feel . . . then reassures us that the key is raising kids in a loving home.Mom’s Night Out is an endearing, true-to-life comedy.

Moms’ Night Out: Official Trailer

 My thoughts:  Mom’s Night Out is a great book for any Mom to read and think on.  I can’t wait to go see the movie too!  The book is a novelization of the movie and I want to see how close the two are.  The way this normally goes is that the book is first and then the movie so this is a first for me going the other way!  I have to say though of the two books I love the devotional more.  This is perfect for the busy mom and the mom who sometimes feels that she needs some time to herself.  The best way to centralize ourselves in our own lives is to center ourselves in God first.
