Life doesn't come with an instruction book for the role of perfect wife and mother. However, as Naomi Davis discovered on her journey from newlywed Juilliard dancer to mother of five, a joyful life is a work of art that only you can create for yourself. When Naomi launched the popular blog Love Taza over a decade ago, she had no way of knowing where that first blog post would lead or the millions of lives she'd impact. In A Coat of Yellow Paint, Naomi shares all-new stories, time-stamped as intimate and vulnerable essays, exploring her faith, personal heartaches, challenges balancing a home life with career, motherhood, and her struggles with infertility. Along the way, Naomi illustrates the urgency of celebrating life's most important things--family, faith, friendship, and an upright piano painted bright yellow--ignoring the critics.Naomi shares life lessons she's learned, including how tocommunicate openly and honestly in your marriage and friendshipsbe confident in the choices you make as a mother--and why you're more than "just a mom"overcome criticism--including from yourself--on body image, infertility, and doing "enough"make childhood feel magical, and seek out adventures with your little onesnavigate spiritual upheaval and reclaim your faithfind more soulfulness in your social media and online experienceIf you dream of a life celebrating family, self, and work in a way that feels right for you, A Coat of Yellow Paint will inspire you to drown out the noise of others' opinions and expectations--so you can be empowered to love your life.
