Feel Satisfied with Who and Where You Are
In a world of comparison and discontent, it can feel impossible to be happy with life as we know it. Other people seem to have it all together, to be finding success, to be having more fun. But we weren't meant for a life characterized by dissatisfaction.
In this entertaining and relatable book, Alexandra Kuykendall chronicles her nine-month experiment to rekindle her love of her ordinary "actual" life. After wiping her calendar as clean as a mother of four can, Kuykendall focuses on one aspect of her life each month, searching for ways to more fully enjoy her current season. By intentionally adding one thing each month that will make her jump for joy, she provides a practical challenge women can easily replicate. With humor, poignancy, and plenty of personal stories, Kuykendall weaves together spiritual themes and practical application into a holy self-awareness, showing women how a few small changes in their routines can improve their enjoyment of this crazy-busy life.

"This just wasn't what I was expecting. It was more diary/journal format, without giving a ton of real practical advice that I felt like I could use. I admired her for making some changes and could relate to her crazy days as a working mom. Just wish it had more Scripture and gospel in ways to point me in that direction."

Loving My Actual Life An Experiment in Relishing What Right in Front of Me Alexandra Kuykendall 9780801007811 Books Reviews
- This just wasn't what I was expecting. It was more diary/journal format, without giving a ton of real practical advice that I felt like I could use. I admired her for making some changes and could relate to her crazy days as a working mom. Just wish it had more Scripture and gospel in ways to point me in that direction.
- Having no children of my own, I could tend to shy away from an author who is a busy mom of four but while the variables in our lives may be very different the basic challenges we face can tend to be very similar. Alex writes in a fresh way that so many women can relate to. I appreciate her transparency regarding the imperfections and stumbles that are a part of our actual lives. You'll enjoy this book!
- I really enjoyed this book. I love Alexandra's writing style and I love the experiment she did. The book read like a journal and I liked that. It was nice to be able to read one experiment at a time. I'm definitely going to add her to my list of favorite authors and keep an eye out for future books. She's so down to earth and easy to relate to.
- I heard about Alex in my MOPS group starting with her "Loving My Actual Christmas" book. After discussing the information in that, I decided to look her up on and found this book which was the catalysts to the second. I just love this book and all of her advice, wisdom, and real life experiences. It helps us to remember that although we as moms are amazing, we don't have to know everything or have it all together all the time. We are all just figuring it out as we go!
- Written more like a blog or diary than a book. Ideas similar to other Christian writers..but I appreciate her vulnerability and heart for God.
- If you are looking for a book that speaks right to your life as a mom...Loving My Actual Life by Alexandra Kuykendall is the perfect read for you! In this candid, real life experiment, she shares her journey during a 9 month experiment straight from the trenches. It is refreshingly real and not the Pinterest perfect or Facebook fabulous life. But the real life search for rekindling the joy and love for life God intended all along in the midst of the messy, mundane, busy life as a mom. I have been challenged, encouraged and blessed by her journey. This would be a perfect book to go through with a group of other moms, as a MOPS group or a women's Bible Study or Book Club...to read, journal and even do your own experiment. Thank you Alexandra for opening your life and sharing all the ups and downs with us so we can see that we are not alone!
- This book I couldn't wait to read again as soon as I set it down. It came to me at the perfect time in my life. If your a mom trying to find that balance in our busy "mom schedules" this book right here is for you. I love its Christian base, but also that down to earth feel of we are all human. It is a 5 star for me and I can't wait to pass it along to my other mommy friends!
- Overall, I found this book inspiring. Out has challenged me to look at my own life, and how I can grow to appreciate my life as it is. At times the book was a little drab, but I'm so glad I read it, and look forward to doing my own experiments.
