As mothers, grandmothers, nurturers, and caregivers, we’re often tempted to view our ordinary little daily contributions as an endless string of undersized tasks, none of which seem worthy of any special consideration. But they are.
Find out why even our smallest efforts really do make a difference in the lives of those we love…

I want to share this! (Deseret Book reviews)

“What a tribute DeAnne has written! I think all mothers should read this book. Each chapter is a story emphasizing a tiny life lesson learned from a mom. And together all of the accounts add up to remind us what a vital role we play as caregivers, women and nurturers- that every little act of service orchestrates a big impact in the lives of those we touch. There are recipes, definitions and quotes intermixed in the pages. I read it in one sitting on Sunday and by the end was in tears.
I would recommend this as a perfect gift for Mother’s Day or just a thoughtful token to a friend in need of a pick me up. Five stars and a smile to Mrs. Flynn, mother of seven children, speaker and talented journalist.”

“What a fabulous tribute to mothers! I enjoyed the layout and simplicity of the book because, as a busy mom myself, I barely have time to take a shower – let alone read a long book. Not only did it make me appreciate my mother, it helped me to realize the importance of the small, everyday acts that we as mothers give. I am looking forward to giving this book to my mother for Mother’s Day. I cannot think of a better way to show my love to her and celebrate motherhood.”
Lindie (mother of 4) _______________________________________________________________________ “Thank you for your wonderful book, DeAnne. I loved reading it and it helped me remember many things my Mother did for me that matter so much even now, though she passed on many years ago. Reading your book also made me more aware of the need for me to be more thoughtful of my children and grandchildren and create memories they can cherish when I am gone.”
Carol (grandmother to 18) _______________________________________________________________________ “Thanks so much for your precious book The Mother’s Mite. I loved every page! The cover, the recipes, pictures and, most importantly, the stories captured my heart. I know it will help all mothers to realize that the little things can and do make a valuable difference in our children’s lives!”
Debra (grandmother to 6) _______________________________________________________________________ I LOVE YOUR BOOK! I just love the way it makes everyday mothering a wonderful experience as you reflect back on the times It is just a warm fuzzy for moms. It also gives great ideas for parenting children and (hopefully someday grandchildren). I have often said that 99.1% of parents want to be good parents, but just don’t know how. This book gives some wonderful “instead” ideas (or things people can do instead of negative parenting) without sounding preachy. Can’t wait to try some of the recipes.
Laura (mother of 1) ______________________________________________________________________ “I loved this book and the message it gives to all mothers: slow down, celebrate life, express love every day in small and simple ways! Snuggling with this book on the couch was a terrific way to spend my afternoon… it has inspired me to break out the china tea cups, jump on more trampolines and learn to make asparagus soup!”
Suzy (mother of 4) _______________________________________________________________________ “I love everything about this book. The stories touch your “mother heart”. I especially love the short little examples from children given every few pages. Show us moms that our kids really do notice the little things we do”
Allyson (mother of 4) _______________________________________________________________________ “DeAnne’s book is an effort to encourage all of us to do the little things that come to mind when we think about our children. I know it has helped me think of taking the extra time to show them my life through little acts of kindness or moments spontaneously given to my children throughout my day. Thank you!”
Katie (mother of 6) _______________________________________________________________________ “DeAnne, thank you for this book! What a gift to mothers everywhere. I read it in one sitting and loved it! I hope it opens the floodgates of affirmation and support for all the unknown, unheralded, unspoken ‘mites’ we mothers do each day while raising our children.”
Martsie (grandmother to 7) _______________________________________________________________________ “Thank you DeAnne for making me and every mother feel the magnitude of our actions!”
