Tuesday Title - Mom’s Memories and Reflections on Motherhood

Introducing Mom’s Memories and Reflections on Motherhood: A Guided Journal  by J. Q. Rose, released just in time for Mother’s Day on Sunday, May 12. This perfect gift is adorned with bright yellow sunflowers and created with pages to chronicle mom's unique journey, capturing the laughter, tears, and growth that define motherhood. Once filled out, it is a precious gift to have and you won't know you need it until too late and there is no one left who has experienced the events.

According to J. Q., she knew she wanted to write her memoir, Arranging a Dream, about the first year she and Ted were in the flower business.

"I had no idea the book would also be about motherhood. A new baby, a new business. I had no skills for either one of these jobs!" You can imagine the stress of trying to balance the life of a mom, wife, and businesswoman. So yes, the joys and difficulties of being a mom are in the memoir. 

Because the theme of motherhood was woven throughout the narrative about the business, the idea to create a journal for moms bloomed. Those who come after us can understand the joys and sorrows we experience in a lifetime if we record those memories. 

Mom’s Memories and Reflections on Motherhood: A Guided Journal  includes a topic to write about with a writing prompt and a quotation to inspire the writer. Each topic is thoughtfully designed with prompts that inspire reflection on daily joys and challenges, accompanied by insightful quotations that resonate within a mother's heart. There are plenty of fun, as well as difficult topics in the journal to write about. Teaching your child to ride a bike, the first lost tooth, the first heartbreak, the handmade gifts, bedtime fears, the legacy of love, the role of grandmother to name a few. 

Use it to 

• sketch scenes, pets, or persons who are important in your life
• scribble notes and memories you want to be reminded to write
• ask questions,
• recall snippets of conversations
• and reflect on new understandings revealed during the writing.

This is the first hardcover book J.Q. has published. It is available now at Amazon in premium color to show off the cheery, bright sunflowers that decorate the pages. The eBook will be available soon at all major online booksellers.
