Book Launch Giveaway: She Reads Truth
Welcome to The Fringe Hours launch party! With less than two weeks until the release of The Fringe Hours, I decided to host a series of giveaways that tie to the book’s message of making time for you. You are going to love what I have in store.
Celebrating YOU
This launch party is a celebration of you because frankly, without you, there wouldn’t be a Fringe Hours. The idea for the book came because so many of you have written and asked about how I make time for my passions. It then grew into so much more because thousands of you responded to a survey about how YOU spend your time.
I couldn’t be more proud of The Fringe Hours: Making Time for You. It contains a life-changing philosophy that can impact any woman – married, single, kids, no kids, working professional, SAHM. It’s honest, practical and useful. We all need fringe hours. We all need to practice self-care.
I am so grateful for all the ways you show up here on The Mom Creative. Your comments, your clicks, your emails. They don’t go unnoticed. I love you and I wrote this book is for you. Thank you for being such an important part of this community. I hope you are blessed by this fun series of giveaways, starting with the amazing one below.
Win a She Reads Truth Prize Pack

She Reads Truth is a community of women with one mission: Women in the Word of God every day. Women of all ages from around the world gather to read Truth together daily on the She Reads Truth app and at SheReadsTruth.com.
As I wrote about on Monday, community is so important. I love that SRT offers a virtual community for women, as well as the motivation to have quiet time and be in the word. Such a great use of fringe hours. 🙂 I love their resources and just started their Esther study today!

Share the excitement
1. Pre-order The Fringe Hours: If you haven’t already done so, will you pre-order a copy of The Fringe Hours. As I’ve said before, pre-orders are the only way for a retailer to know that people are interested in a book, especially from a first-time author like me. It’s just over $10 and I know you are going to be blessed by the book. (Many have told me that they have ordered a few copies to give to friends and family members. Thank you!)
2. Sign up for our launch week call: On February 18 at 9 pm EST, we are going to have a special call to chat about the topics in The Fringe Hours. What’s awesome is that you can join in the fun without having to leave your home. With having a newborn, I promise I will be in pajamas. It’s totally free – sign up here to join in live and/or to get the link to listen after the fact.
3. Tell your friends about The Fringe Hours: Anything you can do to share about The Fringe Hours with your community makes a difference. We have beautiful pins/instagram images, tweets and more here. You can also Instagram how you are making time for you with the hashtag #FringeHours. I check the feed every day and love seeing glimpses of your lives.
Of course, if you don’t have time to do any of these things, no worries! Still be sure to enter this incredible She Reads Truth giveaway below. One winner will be chosen and added to this post on Sunday.

Just took advantage of some fringe hours and finished reading a book. 🙂
I love to read!
Rarely have Fringe Hours, 🙁 but sometimes I usually pop up a game of Words with Friends/Solitaire (don’t judge lol). Now my ideal Fringe Hour space would be quiet, nothing badgering me from my to do list, a cup of tea or coffee and a book. Or crocheting/knitting. sigh..use to make myself, give myself time to sit and work on that stuff. Now I feel guilty. I have noticed since I’ve been beginning the book (currently behind in the reading), that I will occasionally sit and read in the evenings. Haven’t had evenings free to do that in quite a while. It’s rather nice. Get antsy when I don’t. 🙂
I LOVE to read 🙂
