My Thoughts:
In Staying Home and Staying You Cynthia Van Romondt-Mason takes you through the whole dilemma of choosing to stay home. When I say whole I mean such as the feeling f having”less” that you may experience. She helps you weigh the pros and cons and make a decision that is right for you and your family. I love her Daily Mantra and her chapter on Home Management really inspired me. This book is more a workbook than a sit down and read but I think it is something every mother should read and go through. You may find that you come out of it not only a better mother but also a better woman.
I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

When I was pregnant there was so many book but I don’t remember any of them about staying at home after the baby was born.. There was more talk. I think this book will be great if the mother is considering staying home after the baby is born

Wow, I know I struggle with those exact thoughts I’m a stay at home mom and sometimes I feel like my worth is valued in the home being cleaned and children fed and taught. I have lost my personal identity and I often think about going back to school and how the years pass me by it is becoming less and less likely

I would love to read this book. It was not easy to make a decision to stay home with my kids, but sometimes I think that being stay at home mom is harder than being a working mom.. especially since my husband works so much that some days I feel like a single mom!
It would be a great book for women expecting their first child!
