Mama Said There'd Be Days Like This (2007)
Mothers often feel they are running as fast as they can to keep up or to stay just ahead of those who want a piece of their time, energy, and self. Author, speaker, and mother Jenn Doucette offers a humorous and insightful look at how every mom on the run can head for much-needed rest stops by:
experiencing girl time
choosing contentment
setting boundaries and achieve freedom
getting a grip on emotions
giving themselves a break
With comedic flair, Doucette confesses to her own failings as well as God's successes in the face of them, reminding mothers that it is healthy to laugh, take a break, and practice grace.

Up! Devotions for Faith that Connects (2007)
Teens can leave behind those complicated devotionals with lessons that go in one ear and out the other! Up follows Tim Baker's Go with twelve weeks of Bible studies that address topics relevant to today's adolescents. From honesty with God, self, and others to being humble, praying, and defending one's faith, Up teaches and challenges young readers in a style they can relate to. Using Scripture, meditation questions, and a straightforward approach, Tim Baker and Jenn Doucette cover a new soul-searching subject each week. Up will help teens examine their walk with Christ in a real way rather than leave them yawning or scratching their heads.

The Velveteen Mommy (2005)
As a stay-at-home mom, Jenn Doucette enjoys the smallest excuse to get away from her beloved duties, even for an hour. She calls it "running away from home to find my marbles."
Over time, the everyday tension builds and the inevitable mommy mania rears its ugly head. But just about the time she threatens to superglue her kids' shoes to their perpetually sockless feet, she gets booted out of the house to find her marbles-maybe to meet a friend at a coffee shop, browse at her favorite bookstore, or find restoration at a church retreat.
Whether you're a mom of toddlers or teens, you can probably identify. If you need a little change of pace, some comforting conversation, a sympathetic shoulder for a tear or two, and lots of laughter to lighten your load, you'll find it all within the covers of this book. The Velveteen Mommy can help every mother become real again.

I'm a wife, mom, author, speaker, and caregiver to 1 cat, 5 chickens, 1 hamster, and 2 beta fish named Gary and Larry. I love reading, writing, shopping, watching chick flicks and eating takeout. I've recently discovered I am NOT a dog person, nor do I enjoy outdoorsy stuff like camping and hiking (much to my husband's dismay). I've lived in the Northwest my whole life and have a penchant for seafood, Starbucks, and SUNNY days. In my spare time when I'm not reading, I love learning how to play guitar and learning from comedy greats like Lucille Ball, Bill Cosby, Chonda Pierce, Carlos Oscar, Bob Hope, Jerry Seinfeld, and Patsy Clairmont. Most importantly I love Jesus and love how He speaks to me through His Word and through my kids.
I write books to encourage other women with hope and humor. I have two books out currently:
The Velveteen Mommy
Mama Said There'd Be Days Like This
Right now I'm working on my first novel, a christian chick lit! Just finished up the first draft and will be sending it along to my agent asap. Stay tuned, I'll let you know what happens next . . .
