If you’re ready to see yourself and your role in a whole new light…grab yourself a hot cozy beverage and let’s get started.
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.

This would be a great book especially for new Mothers making this decision- it isn’t an easy one!
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 am also at stay at home mom. Life can be tough even for us. Sounds like a good book to check into.
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!
