Summary: bogged down in Christianity
Review: This book has great potential. After all, many post-feminist women are discovering, once children arrive, how valuable and precious is the choice to stay at home and nurture one's own family. There is a social movement afoot to reevaluate the traditional unpaid labor of women.

But this particular book is not as useful as it might have been, simply because a lot of the ideas and recommendations are bogged down in Christianity-based patriarchy, promoting the mythology of the apron-clad happy housewife who sacrifices for her children, and bows to her husband's God-condoned dominance in the family.

Sorry, even though our situations are similar, I can't apply this book to my own life. My choice to stay at home with the children was not based upon any religious feeling. So I can't get into tidying and organizing based upon a bible verse. Those with more religious feeling may get something more of this book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent Encouragement for Those Considering Being At-Home
Review: This book provides helpful insight for women struggling with the decision to stay home with their children. The best part of this book is a section of things to pray for your children that was truly inspiring and thoughtful!
