""Reading Ann’s book was like dipping my cup into a well of stories filled with the authentic trials and triumphs of motherhood.  Thank you, Ann, for allowing the reader to peek beyond the veil of your experience so we can better appreciate our own.  What an encouragement!"" -Jill Kelly, Mom, Speaker, Author of Without a Word ""Ann Van De Water is an exceptional woman of God.  Her outgoing and bubbly personality is infectious.  She has a unique ability to relate to women of all ages.  Her book is full of real-life anecdotes that will have you laughing one minute and tearing up the next.  Ann knows what it is like to be a “real” mom and her audience will be blessed by her honesty and wisdom."" -Michelle Borrello, Current Director of Preschool, Wesleyan Church of Hamburg   ""There is nobody quite like Ann Van De Water.  Her wonderful blend of humor, common sense and spiritual insight have made her beloved by many.  No woman has loved her husband or children better.  Her priorities of God, family and others have yielded beautiful fruit--in her own family and in many other couples and families.  In these vignettes of her mothering  experiences, she relates real life “in the trenches,” and she faces it all with teachability, tenderness, practicality and joy. She’s the real deal---with wisdom to share."" -Sue McClain, Former Teacher/Pastor’s Wife   ""What a refreshing view of motherhood!  From the early season of diapers and drooling to the process of sending her young men off to their own adventures with a purpose and prayer, Ann Van De Water has captured the essence of motherhood.   Enjoy walking through her world with stories that illustrate that armed with a sense of humor and the wisdom of scripture, motherhood is a true joy for those who are brave enough to embark on the journey.  Ann’s humor is reminiscent of Erma Bombeck and her attitude demonstrates that Christ is the solid rock on which she stands."" -Krista Schwartzott, MOPS Coordinator ""Ann’s book is a “LOL” book!  The sincerity about her hectic life as a mother of three boys shows us that it is okay to laugh at ourselves, admit to our imperfections and learn from them...all with God’s help.  Ann is a role model for other mothers to look up to because she allows Jesus’ light to shine through her."" -Karen H., MOPS Coordinator
