What's A Smart Woman Like You Doing At Home?

Once upon a time there was a wonderful magazine for stay-at-home moms called Welcome Home. I read that magazine long after I first became a mom because I found it so realistically encouraging.

The founders of that magazine wrote this book to encourage the mom "who has decided to put her family first without putting herself last."

This book is written for all moms, not just homeschooling moms, and would be especially appropriate for a mom who's having a hard time justifying her decision to others.

This book is softcover, 192 pages, printed in 1986, and is in very good condition. Sorry, this one's sold.

101 More Devotions for Homeschool Moms

I had the pleasure of hearing Jackie Wellwood speak to a large homeschool support group some years back, and she was so down-to-earth yet spiritual that I just had to have one of her books.

That said, I never got around to reading the whole book. I skimmed it a few times, and I see from a post-it note stuck to one page that I used it for a devotional with a group of parents of homeschooled teens. But other than that (and my name and old address stamped inside the front cover), it's pristine.

I'd keep it if I thought I would get around to reading it, but I have a large stack of books I want to get around to reading next to my chair in the living room, and they're collecting dust. So I will have to part with this lovely book.

It's softcover, printed in 2002, 224 pages and, like I said, in like-new condition. Sorry.....this one's sold.
