I remember when Mark and I were writing the Hearts at Home book Living With Less So Your Family Has More. We'd been knee deep in research, edits, and fleshing out the chapters. I said to him one afternoon, "You know what this book is really about? It's about standing up to adult peer pressure!" 

Peer pressure is usually a concept we reserve for the teen years. Tweens and teens are still trying to figure out who they are and they are often tempted to cave into what everyone else is doing in an effort to fit in. 

However, peer pressure doesn't stop after you turn 18 or graduate from college. It continues right into adulthood as we still find ourselves trying to fit in as moms. 

We look around and determine that someone is prettier, more organized, skinnier, more patient, a better cook, more creative, or a better housekeeper than we are. 

We spend so much time looking at others and lamenting who we aren't, that we completely miss seeing who we are! In fact, that's what the entire No More Perfect Moms book is all about! It's a call to freedom and authenticity in our daily walk as a mom. 

If you haven't already, it's time for you to unleash the power to be yourself! You are the only one who can be the best you! You are the only one God designed to be the mother of your children. 

Don't get caught up in the peer pressure trap. Celebrate who you are and let go of who you are not! (Tweet this!) 

And when you're able to do that, you'll have the freedom to be the best YOU, you can be!
