Reviews

"This book is an incredible reminder to be happy loving the ones who are most important in our lifeour family. Through Michelles wit and wisdom, I found myself looking at my family with a clearer perspective of what happiness means in this reality were living. I ditched the rose-colored glasses long ago, but Michelles book provided the window cleaner I needed to see that its okay if everything doesnt turn out right as long as we realize that happiness can be found within the simple things. And sometimes the simplest moments hold the most joy.
Family Ever Afteris a must-read for every happily married Cinderella who wonders why shes still holding the broom."
