Great Read for Moms

This is a very good book for all Moms. It covers many "need to know" things that are essential to raising children, regardless of whether the mother works outside the home or decides to be a stay-at-home mom. It is an easy and fun read by a dynamic mother.

Puts things in perspective

I rarely write reviews, but thought this book was worthy of a good review. The book is honest, written by a mom willing to say here are some great ideas, but sometimes things can't go picture perfect, but this is what you can strive for. Instead of making you feel like an inadequate mom, she gives you examples of how you can be better and how you can use your own skills to be better. I plan to keep this book and reread it every few years because she addresses raising kids of all different ages.

Helpful and honest - a must read for moms

I am a stay at home mom who recently stopped working. This book is well written, quick and easy to read (essential for me these days), and most importantly filled with great tips on how to stay sane, and, well, "happy" in my new at home role (though a lot of these tips would work equally well if I were still going to the office). I also enjoyed the way that the author intermingled her personal stories with practical advice, which makes this book less dry than some of the other mommy "how-to" books I have read. The author doesn't claim everything is a bed of roses (which I really appreciated) but offers great advice on how to navigate through tough issues without getting too bogged down. The book isn't just about parenting but offers lots of tips on how to take care of myself while taking care of my family (which I believe is what sets this book apart from many of the books out there covering similar topics). Stay Home Stay Happy was well worth the read and I look forward to referring back to it again and again over the coming months.

Great read for all mommies

I LOVE this book. I have read about 5 other books on staying at home, and this one is by far my favorite, and will stay on my bookshelf for future reference (unlike the others). The author is upbeat and fun, and I found the book to be a good mix of advice and her own personal experiences. I am new to staying at home, and am having a little bit of difficulty adjusting. I had expected to immediately fall into a routine and to have loved staying home from the beginning, and was surprised when I found myself doubting my skills as a mother and wondering if we wouldn't all be happier and better off if I went back to work. I felt much better after reading this book. Not only did this book let me know that that was okay and normal, but it changed my perspective and gave me some tools to help with the transition. I particularly liked that the author said that she didn't just want to survive staying at home, she wanted to thrive, and make it a wonderful and positive experience for herself and the rest of her family. That's exactly what I want! The tips that the author gave in this book have already changed my outlook and my perspective on this stage in our lives, and my home is already a more positive and loving place. I also liked that there was no sense that the author thought poorly of women who did not stay at home - we all do what we can when we can. I am sure I would have benefited from reading this book when I was a working mother as well. It helps that, like the author, I have an incredibly supportive and helpful husband. However, I think this would be a useful read for all moms, regardless of the level of support from their spouse, or whether or not they work outside the home. It's a fun, quick read that's positive and helpful at the same time. Good job!

Wonderful book; a great read!

I just finished reading this book, and excitedly purchased copies for my friends. I have to admit to expecting this book to be just another indictment on mothers who work - but was pleasantly surprised to find a heartwarming story of a woman who found herself staying at home with her children and learned to love and cherish it!! I'm a working mother, and was actually expecting to write a scathing review - instead, I'm humbled to write that I LOVED THIS BOOK!! The tips and ideas the author gives mothers, while particularly applicable to at-home mothers - are insightful and fun for those of us who work, but still value and love our role as mother! The author writes extremely well; you'll find yourself unable to put the book down - and you'll end up really appreciative that this mother allowed you such a personal glimpse into her home to share her experience in the wonderful world of motherhood!!! Makes a great gift for an expectant mother, girlfriend, ladies' book club, etc.!!
