A must have for stay at home moms. A different way to look at doing motherhood.

From the back cover: " 'Just a mom?' There's no such thing. Motherhood isn't a second-rate occupation. It is a career that can maximize your talents and strengths to their fullest. Look past the surface of mothering - the endless tasks and frantic pace - to the incredible skills required to raise your children and nurture your marriage. The truth is clear: You're a professional in one of the most dignified, demanding, and rewarding fields any woman can find."

I really don't know if I liked or disliked this book - it was just OK for me. I expected some good ideas about how to run my home more efficiently, but most of the book was about how to spiritually become a better mother. I enjoyed reading this and it really helped me refocus on areas I need to work on, but it wasn't that helpful in the household part.
