Your kids won’t remember who cleaned the kitchen. They’ll remember how you were.

Between work, school runs, homework, laundry and the endless to-do list in your head, too many moms are running on empty, and feeling guilty about it. You were told a good mother does it all. But trying to do it all leaves you exhausted, short-tempered and too busy to enjoy the people you’re doing it for.

The Outsourced Mom offers a simple, freeing idea: do only what you love and what only you can do, and let others help with the rest.

In this warm, practical and refreshingly honest book, Phedra Bouvier, a mother of two boys, shares how she stopped trying to do everything and started enjoying her family. You’ll discover:

• Three simple rules, joy, peace and value, to decide what to keep and what to hand over
• How to let go of mom guilt and the myth of the supermom
• Practical ways to outsource cleaning, cooking, homework and the mental load
• Why homework belongs to your child, and how a tutor can bring peace back to your evenings
• How to get help on any budget, including swapping services with other moms
• How to spend the time you win back on what truly matters: your children, your partner and yourself

Whether you work outside the home, stay at home or raise your kids alone, this book gives you permission to rest, ask for help and stop apologizing for it.

Short chapters, real stories and simple action steps make it easy to read, even for the busiest mom.

You can’t do it all, but you can have it all.
