Book Review: This Book Changed My Life!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am so happy to have found this book when I did! It changed my life almost 13 years ago, and so many times I wonder how my life might be different if I hadn't read it. I strongly encourage every mom to read it, whether you are a new or seasoned mom, whether your currently work full-time or part-time or have chosen to be home to raise your children. I guarantee that you will find it thought-provoking! I was a career woman when I became pregnant with twins. I believed the ever-popular myth that women could easily "have it all," happily juggling the perfect family life with the perfect full-time career. As soon as I became a mother, I realized more than ever before that life is full of trade-offs: there are only so many hours in a day, so many days in a week, so many years at home in a child's life. I knew I had to choose my priorities carefully. This unique book includes material not easily found in the mainstream media. Through its commentary and essays, it begged me to think through my short and long-term priorities and choose what was right for me and my family. What's A Smart Woman Like You Doing at Home? helped me to see the "big picture" and helped me realize the path I wanted and needed to take to fulfill my wish of becoming the best mother I could be. Reading the material covered in the three sections, Searching for Supermom and Discovering Home * Startling Realizations and Gentle Discoveries * Mothers and Society -- Perceptions and Possibilities, was an eye-opener and a much-cherished gift! My thanks to the authors and the many mothers who shared their heartfelt stories.
