45,397.
That’s how many words Kristine and I reviewed yesterday.
Kristine, for those of you that don’t know, is my right hand.
She’s my dear friend, my assistant extraordinaire, and darn near like one of my kids.
Except, she’s 6’4 and blonde. So it’s not very likely she could be my daughter. You can see her beautiful face in this photo, standing between Daly Kay and Ryli!
And yesterday, we reviewed every word in my book…and finally sent off the first rough draft to the editor.
We did it.
We…meaning Kristine, myself and…you.
You were there too, mama.
You were in my thoughts every minute of the process. Those of you just starting out with your first baby, all of you mamas with little toddlers and every one of you that has tweens and teens. You spurred me on and encouraged me to keep writing with every glance at our website, comment on the blog, every like and share on social media — so THANK YOU. Thank you very much for all you have done to get the word out about our ministry, the blog, and our video series!
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your prayers and encouragement. I ask you to continue to Believe With Me that God can and will use our families to do something amazing in this country. Please keep our family in your prayers…and keep spreading the word about our website and the upcoming book! Thank you again so very much for taking us along on your parenting journey! God bless you all!

Super, super excited!! I hope you do a printed one and not just an ebook because I know I will have a few moms to share it with! I’ll read it either way, though!
Lyette Reback says
There will be printed and ebook Emily! So glad you are looking forward to it!
