Amazon Reviews:

“This book had me laughing throughout. Jenn Doucette is one funny lady, a gal who's not afraid to admit her quirks and foibles -- so that those of us who feel EXACTLY the same way can feel some relief. We're not alone! :)

Sprinkled with a healthy dose of hard-earned wisdom, Doucette has the comedic rhythm that makes this book a joy to read. In fact, it can be downright embarrassing when you burst out laughing "HA HA HA! ME TOO!" in the doctor's office. (oops.)

This would be a great pick-me-up gift for moms in the busy child-raising years. There seems to be no lack of books for moms-to-be and newborn moms -- as well as plenty of advice-giving parenting tomes. Doucette's book fills in the gap needed when we're feeling like we just need a girlfriend to say, "I'm with you. I'm tired, my car's a mess, but I love God, I love my kids, and I love being a mom!!"
-- Heather Ivester, Mom2Mom Connection “Jenn Doucette is a mom in the trenches, who writes with wisdom and humor about all the "stuff" of mommyhood. I loved her stories and the honesty with which she shared her own struggles and weaknesses. As an avid journaler, I also liked the questions for reflection she included at the end of each chapter. Moms who need a dose of encouragement will thoroughly enjoy this book. I recommend it wholeheartedly!”  -- Dena Dyer, Author and Speaker "Just wait till you have kids of your own!" How many mothers have ever said that when they are reaching their limit. When children are little, they think their mother knows everything. When they get older, they think their moms are totally out of touch. But as the years go by and you become a parent yourself, you start to realize that your mother was right all along. Your mother might have told you that "someday your time will come." If you are faced with the trials and tribulations of motherhood and just need to take a break, you have just the place to lose yourself. It's time to sit back and enjoy a book so you don't feel so alone.

In fact, your mother's knowledge has even been sung about in a popular old song written by Van Morrison and is the title song of his 1995 album. You probably have the chorus ringing in your head upon reading the title of the book. Jenn Doucette has created a wonderful book which will give exhausted and worn-out mothers a much needed rest. Through her many stories about her own experiences, Jenn offers you a friend to laugh with. Her book is laid out in a road trip type fashion. Each chapter offers a rest stop and explores reclaiming contentment and wonder, repairing relationships and rekindling romance just to name a few. Each chapter ends with what she calls "Tank Toppers," which are ideas which you can use to put the information into action. She encourages the readers to "Take a Break" which is a prayer, and "Getting Directions," which gives the readers a place to write down areas which you want to address.

I found myself laughing throughout this book and yet gaining all kinds of valuable information. Jenn Doucette is an excellent author and I hope to find more books by her. "Mama Said There'd Be Days Like This" is very true, but there is no need to crumple under the pressures of parenthood. Jenn is here with her book which will help you in your travels in every stage of parenthood and put a smile on your face in the process.”
-- Lori Plach for Reader Views “I'm privileged to know the author and she's as delightful and lively as her book. Keep Mama Said There'd Be Days Like This in your glovebox or under the car seat for a quick pick-me-up read between errands, stalled traffic, or waiting for the kids. You'll love it!”
