 | Uplifting and motivating! Feb 6, 2007 |
| This book is full of inspiration. One does not go to college to get a special degree in mothering, nor can one add important letters to the ends of their title. Sadly, the title of "mom" often doesn't feel like enough. That's why this book is so great! The everyday tasks that never end--such as cleaning the kitchen and doing the laundry--suddenly take on a new light when one thinks about their eternal implications. I made the transition from career to stay at home mom about 2 years ago, and this book has helped me to take pride in my endeavor (I used to fear the question: "what do you do?"). The questions at the end of each chapter have helped me to become more organized as a mom. I will never look at laundry the same way again! Staying home with my son is a gift, and I want to be the best at my profession as his mom--and this book has been an invaluable resource for me. My family is better for it! | | | | Great book for personal study or for a moms group Oct 26, 2005 |
| I purchased this book this past spring while searching for something to use as a tool for a book discussion in our moms group at church. I loved reading it from the minute I started the book and now our moms group is having a great time reading it and having discussions. Her perspective is so refreshing. I greatly appreciate her encouragement from a Christian perspective. It has been a true blessing to see how our moms group has responded to it! | | | | This is an amazing book! Sep 29, 2005 |
| I was totally losing my motivation with being home, and this book helped turn that around. It introduces such practical ways to make your staying home more of a job and therefore gives you more confidence and pride in what you do. I was losing that and feeling worthless at times, but now I know what I do is extremely important and valuable, and it feels like that too. From planning meals for the week to organizing your days, etc., this book helps you feel more in control of a job that can sometimes feel out of control! :) Enjoy!! | | | | THIS BOOK CHANGED MY LIFE !!! Mar 23, 2005 |
I stumbled upon this book in the library 2 years ago, after the birth of my first child. I was drowning in my tears, frustrated because I had left my teaching position to be a "stay-at-home-mom" and didn't have a clue about how to do it.
The title caught my eye and I began to read the introduction. I was HOOKED! A quick glance at the table of contents only added to my eagerness to begin reading. The chapters "So what did you do today?" and "Where are my coworkers" really hit home with my recent "career shift".
With the recent birth of my second child, I have continued to turn to this book and the "Hearts-at-Home" website for encouragement. | | |  | Not for non-Christians Aug 4, 2003 |
| Nowhere in the description or in any of the reviews did I find any mention of the emphasis on faith and religion that this book has. I was a little disappointed upon first skimming the book, but even after reading here and there, it didn't seem like it had much value, even for what I wanted. I don't have any particular qualms about staying at home, and a good portion of the book seemed to be devoted to making SAHMs try to feel better about their decision. Then there were the sections about how to use prayer and how to bring up godly children. Um? How exactly is this going to help me treat my daily life like a profession, and not just a mind-numbing time-waste that others think it is? I'm not a particularly religious person, and I found this book to be pretty much unreadable. I am sure that there is good advice in there somewhere, but I just couldn't get past the very religious underpinings of this book. Are there any books devoted to advice about adjusting to SAHM life that are not written from an annoyingly Christian perspective? | | | Write your own review about Professionalizing Motherhood (Hearts At Home Work)
