“For every mom who feels spent, finished, bankrupt by bedtime. Eryn reminds us with humor, honesty, and relatable experience that what you spent in time, patience, energy, memories, and do-overs was worth every penny. Literally. The investment of a lifetime made by mothers everywhere. Every day. Often without even realizing it. Read on and take heart. Because every exhausted minute you’ve spent today was deposited in ways you may never have imagined.”
