review 1: A collection of personal essays and poems about mothering young children. Each chapter is a different author and I was struck by the thought that all these women (and I) have different backgrounds, different strengths and weaknesses, and different perspectives, but we all have the same job. We all struggle with the job description sometimes and all have experienced tears and laughter in the same moment. None of the poems really spoke to me, and some essays I definitely connected with more than others (I may even suggest skipping the first one), but as a whole, this book helped me find a sisterhood in this tedious but fulfilling job I now have.
review 2: This book has been sitting on my dresser for several weeks. I was looking at the "clearance" books at Des... moreeret Book and found it foe $2.99. I vaguely remembered reading about on some websites and thought it was worth picking up. I'm so glad I did. The other day I stuck it in the car figuring that since it was essays, it would be perfect to read when I am waiting to pick up at pre-school or piano lessons. I started reading it today while I was waiting at pre-school, read through baseball practice and finished the last couple essays after the kids were in bed. I loved it. It was the perfect encouragement for the stay at home mom. The essays were honest and real, but encouraging at the same time. There is something so comforting about reading that other mothers struggle with the same things you do. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it really only applies to moms, particularly moms of young children. less
