One of my favorite posts to share with you each week is What I’m Reading This Week/ Being #Easter week I’ve included Easter Book Picks for Moms/ Which allows us to discover inspiring, comforting, and uplifting books perfect for Easter week. Including devotionals, fiction, parenting reads, and affiliate‑friendly recommendations for busy moms.
🌷 What I’m Reading This Week: Easter Edition for Moms Who Need a Little Escape
Easter week is always full — full of family, full of emotion, full of cooking, full of cleaning, full of expectations, and full of moments that stretch a mom’s heart in every direction.
That’s exactly why I love choosing a few good books to anchor me during this season. Books that remind me to breathe. Books that help me grow. Books that let me escape for a few minutes while the kids are playing or the house is finally quiet.
This week, I’m reading a mix of faith‑based encouragement, fiction escapes, and mom‑life sanity savers — and I’m sharing them here in case you need something new to curl up with after the Easter chaos settles.
✨ 1. 100 Days of Grace & Gratitude: A devotional journal
This journal offers a simple way to focus on being thankful for what we have, the big things in life, as well as the simple joys. Perfect for those just starting to journal in gratitude and want to start an easy daily habit.
Simply write down a quick notation of what you are thankful for each day and notice a shift in your mood. Over time you notice reduced levels of stress and increased clarity. Do it daily and make it a habit to focus on the blessings you have been given.
This journal will help re-center you and attract more positivity in your life. Perfect gifts for friends and family to celebrate birthday present, thanksgiving, Christmas day, or as gifts for Valentine’s day and new years.
It’s the kind of book you can read in 3 minutes while drinking your morning coffee or hiding in the bathroom for a moment of peace.
Why I Love It:
- No pressure
- No guilt
- No long chapters
- Just grace
🌼 2. A Fiction Escape: “The Secret Garden” (Spring‑Themed Classic)
There’s something magical about reading The Secret Garden in spring. It’s a story of renewal, healing, and unexpected beauty — which fits Easter perfectly. Isn’t that blue a pretty calming color?
Why Moms Love It:
- It’s cozy
- It’s hopeful
- It’s beautifully written
- It reminds us that growth often happens quietly
If you need a gentle escape after a long day, this is the book to reach for.
🌸 3. A Parenting Book That Doesn’t Shame You: “The 5 Love Languages of Children”
This book is a lifesaver when your kids are overstimulated, emotional, or bouncing off sugar highs (hello, Easter candy).
It helps you understand:
- How your child feels loved
- Why they act out
- How to connect with them
- How to communicate better
Why It’s Perfect for Easter Week:
Kids are tired. Kids are emotional. Kids are overwhelmed. And honestly? Moms are too.
This book helps you reconnect with compassion instead of frustration.
🌙 4. A Bedtime Read for Moms: “Present Over Perfect”
This book is a breath of fresh air for moms who feel stretched thin. It’s all about slowing down, letting go of perfection, and choosing presence over pressure.
Why It Speaks to Moms:
- It’s honest
- It’s relatable
- It’s comforting
- It gives permission to rest
If Easter left you feeling emotionally drained, this book will refill your cup.
💛 5. A Fun, Light Read: “The Little Book of Hygge”
After a busy holiday, this book is the perfect reset. It’s all about coziness, comfort, and creating small moments of joy.
Why It’s Perfect for Moms:
- Short chapters
- Beautiful photos
- Easy ideas
- Encourages slow living
It’s the kind of book you can flip through while the kids are playing or while you’re winding down for the night.
📚 How I Choose What to Read Each Week
I pick books that match my energy level:
When I’m tired → Devotionals
When I’m overwhelmed → Parenting books
When I need escape → Fiction
When I need comfort → Cozy lifestyle books
When I need inspiration → Memoirs or faith‑based reads
Reading isn’t about checking boxes — it’s about filling your heart.
🌷 Why Reading Matters for Moms
Reading gives moms:
- A break
- A breath
- A moment of quiet
- A sense of identity
- A spark of creativity
- A reminder that we are more than our to‑do lists
Books help us reset, refocus, and reconnect with ourselves.
And after a holiday like Easter? We need that more than ever.
