Real Stories for the Overwhelmed Mom
Finding Grace, Peace & Humor in the Beautiful Chaos of Motherhood
About the book
Motherhood is beautiful, but it can also be messy, exhausting, and overwhelming. If you’ve ever felt like an overwhelmed mom trying to balance family, marriage, work, and the endless mental load of motherhood, you’re not alone.
In Knee Deep in Donuts, Emily Montgomery Hunt shares heartfelt stories from her own journey through motherhood with honesty, humor, and grace. From mom guilt and mental overload to losing her patience, finding herself again, and learning that perfection was never the goal, Emily invites readers into the real moments that so many overwhelmed moms experience but rarely talk about.
This isn’t a parenting manual or a book about having it all together. It’s a reminder that you are not alone. Through relatable stories, practical encouragement, and simple “Donut Truths” at the end of each chapter, Knee Deep in Donuts offers hope for every overwhelmed mom who has ever felt like she’s carrying too much.
Because sometimes life leaves us knee deep in donuts, but it doesn’t have to leave us there.
