Opis

Rhonda Layton hadn't realized she was ready for motherhood until she was looking into the eyes of her stepson, Keelan. Since then, every day has been an adventure and a true blessing in her life. In this parenting memoir, Rhonda shares her story, starting when she first met this special little boy. Each chapter of her work is prefaced with a -Hey, Mommy- quote from her younger son, Jackson. Jacksonisms, as Rhonda calls them, can be hilarious or deeply profound. They are always exactly what she needs to hear. Rhonda uses these pearls of wisdom as introductions for the different areas of her life, from meeting her future husband to planning out their lives together. Keelan and Jackson are right by her side, patiently showing her how to be the parent they need. Rhonda's memoir doesn't focus on what she teaches her children; instead, it highlights what her children teach her about life, perseverance, hope, love, and happiness. She shares how her family inspired her to stop a career she hated and follow her true passions. As Jackson says, -Hey, Mommy, you're awesome. Every time you do something awesome, you should say, 'I just mommed that '-
