Book Launch Giveaway: She Reads Truth

The Fringe Hours Launch Party

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

Share the excitement

The Fringe Hours

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.

    Early mornings are my happy hour….sitting in a quiet house with a cup of coffee before everyone else is up. That and running!!!

    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 reading… and crafting… and often to make the very most of my fringe hours, I listen to audiobooks while crafting! Ha!

    I read this book in 2 days (during my fringe hours in January). I absolutely LOVED it. It was such a good reminder that if you have 5 minutes or 5 hours, you can take time for those things you enjoy. One of my favorite things to do is to pour myself a cup of coffee, put on some good music and work on my Project Life album. It is so satisfying to me and I am reminded of all of my blessings. Thank you for a wonderful book!!

    I read, and do some writing. I also like journalling and working on my bible readings/passages for the day….

    I like to spend my fringe hours reading and leading my daughters’ schools’ PTA. It’s a passion I didn’t know I had until God opened the door for me and led me through it.

    I find time to create. Most often I choose to scrapbook to document our family’s story. Love your book, it’s a must read for all busy females! Read for a new perspective and ideas to take time for you!

    I read every minute I can squeeze it in! My husband has even teased me about reading while I’m stirring a pot fixing dinner 🙂

    My favorite thing to do in my fringe hours is paint…furniture, canvases, signs. Love expressing myself creatively and having something tangible to show for my work.

    Since I read Fringe Hours (yay launch team), it’s really changed the way that I think about using my time! I love finding pockets of time to read and do crafts. Things I really hadn’t done enough of!

    I love to read and write, and to head outside with camera in hand. And I really enjoy making movies for special occasions, like birthdays and anniversaries.

    I’ve discovered so many passions through reading “Fringe Hours”! (I’m part of the launch team! WooHoo!) My favorite is to read and spend time in the morning reading my Bible. 🙂

    I’m my most creative in my fringe hours – it’s when I write, when I design graphics, when I get inspired and have time to dream, because it’s ME time, not time someone else has expectations over 🙂

    I’m learning to create fringe hours that make me feel alive. I’m getting more into the creative zone and filling that time with painting, sewing, cooking, etc.

    I have a Sunday evening routine where I prepare my lunches for the week & usually prep some things to make meals easier in the week. This used to stress me out, but now it’s such a pleasure.

    Reading is my go-to for unwinding and relaxing. Can’t imagine being without a book or two or five waiting to be read.
