Book review: At Home with Madame Chic

I was lucky to receive a copy of At Home with Madame Chic. I have admired the author, Jennifer Scott, since her first book Lessons with Madame Chic and through her insightful blog posts and videos.

Her books are about living your life the best you can by presenting yourself, home and family well, celebrating everyday life and making the absolute most of what we have. 

One of my favorite quotes in this book is in reference to morning madness and learning to slow down, enjoy life:

"Life is in the present moment... Anxiety is caused by thinking about the future."

I feel like it's so important to enjoy all life's moments and processes, not only the destinations. This was such a great reminder for me...

In this book, the author also shares her perfected 10 item wardrobe pieces, brings new meaning to 'exercise' and why it's ok not be a 'gym person,' and provides yummy recipes and hostess tips. She has a fabulous brunch layout and music playlists that really make me want to be her next house guest!

I hope to implement many of the wonderful concepts and ideas into my own life and with my own family. I especially look forward to reading this book again (one day) when our family grows and learn how so many of these things will help us to be better parents and a stronger family.

Huge congrats to Jennifer Scott for her second book, which was released yesterday! It's a keeper... and you should definitely pick up a copy!
