Good Book
It's a good book, full of insight. Quick & easy to read, which is important to me since time is limited.
Great Read for Moms
This is a very good book for all Moms. It covers many "need to know" things that are essential to raising children, regardless of whether the mother works outside the home or decides to be a stay-at-home mom. It is an easy and fun read by a dynamic mother.
Puts things in perspective
I rarely write reviews, but thought this book was worthy of a good review. The book is honest, written by a mom willing to say here are some great ideas, but sometimes things can't go picture perfect, but this is what you can strive for. Instead of making you feel like an inadequate mom, she gives you examples of how you can be better and how you can use your own skills to be better. I plan to keep this book and reread it every few years because she addresses raising kids of all different ages.
for Moms of any age!!
Both my daughter and daughter in law really enjoyed this book and have passed it on to even their "working" friends.It is of value for even the older ladies/Moms (per the one in my household!!!
Not what I expected
As a new at-home mom on a very limited budget, I was interested in reading this book in hopes that the author would provide creative ways to stay upbeat and enjoy being home without breaking the bank. Unfortunately, the author and her family clearly have much disposable income, enough for vacations and "hired help" twice a week. It is written from the perspective of a mom who desperately wanted to be in the working world but when she didn't receive the job she was hoping for, she ended up staying home with her kids instead. She makes it clear that at-home motherhood chose her, she did not choose it. I, on the other hand, have always wanted to be home with my children and have never been career driven. I have no problem telling people I'm an at-home mom, but the author seems to take this as a personal failure and a conversation killer. As difficult as it is, I am very satisfied to be home with my baby, doing my own cooking and cleaning, and figuring out how to make it on only one income. It isn't a bad book, simply not what I expected and clearly written by someone very different than me.
