Don't Make Me Come Up There (a very special book giveaway)

Remember my friend and real-life next door neighbor, Kristen?  
Well, she has a BOOK!!! 

{Yes, I live next door to a famous author...and sweet tea addict, but that's for another post.}

Let me tell you about the book....

Kristen's book is called Don't Make Me Come Up There: quiet moments for busy moms.  Moms, you are going to love this book.

If you read Kristen's blog, you already know that she can make you laugh and tug at your heartstrings all in the same post.  The book is the same.  In each short chapter, Kristen will have you laughing, crying or nodding along with her stories about family and faith.  Every chapter ends with a Bible verse and prayer....it's the perfect quiet escape in a busy mom's day.

 
{I keep a copy in my car and read a chapter or two while waiting for kiddo to come out of school.}

Oh!  And do you want to SEE sweet Kristen?  Here she is in her book promo video...isn't she adorable?!?

"Don't Make Me Come Up There" Blog Tour Promo from Derek Harvey on Vimeo.

    I would probably keep this for myself or my sister. I recently finished "A Mother's Heart" which was such an encouragement to me as a mama, and currently am searching for something new on my nightstand. Thank you!

    I would probably keep the book for myself. I don't have kids but I nanny and work with kids all the time. Then after I read it I'd probably give it to my friend who just had her little one.

    I would most likely keep this book for myself, as I am home alone with the kids most nights (hubby works late A LOT). I am usually in need of some quiet "me" time at the end of the day! After I read it though, I would share with another needy mom! (au93tgr@aol.com)

    I love her blog and was excited to see she had done this book. I would read it and then pass it on to a friend. In our book club we bring books to exchange each time so I would share it with as many people as I could who would enjoy her fantastic writing!

    I just became a mom when our sweet girl, Greta, was born a month ago. I would keep this book for myself and then share it with friends. It's going on my "to buy" list either way. It sounds fantastic!

    If I won, I would send it to my cousin's wife; she just had her 3rd boy (all under 6!) and could probably use the humor and would appreciate the verses. Then I'd probably have to buy a copy for myself... :)
    Thank you!

    If I won, I would definitely give it to my own mommy. I'm 19 years old and live at home to save money while going to school in DC, so I get to spend a lot of time with her. She's so great, I just want her to know how much me and my two siblings appreciate her.
