review 1: I really enjoyed the practicality and straight forwardness of this book. Mary Ostyn gives you a view into her life raising 10 kids and discusses how it works for them. She also shares others stories here and there to show different ways of doing things. I like that it is short, though in some respects I wish there had been more, particularly in the chapter dealing with money. I would have liked to have known a little more about her recipes to keep grocery costs down, but that is because of what I am seeking to do better in. My favorite chapter is on treating your kids as individuals. This was helpful and a good reminder. Overall I think this is a good book to get you thinking, I only wish for more specifics or a guide to further resources.
review 2: If I could
... morerate it 3 1/2 stars I would. The book was good, it just wasn't the kind of book I was looking for. I felt like it was reading her blog, in the paperback form. For me personally I was looking for more specific and detailed information to help organize and balance our family before it expanse more. It had a few good ideas, but that's about it It was a very quick read. I read in less than 2 days. I'm going to try and read Large Family Logistics, in the hope it gives me the information I'm looking for.******Revision, Once I got towards the end of the book, then it got better. It finally gave me the kind of informtion that I was looking for. So to change my review skip chapters until you find the one your looking for. less
