"Celebrate Home!" introduces women to the joys and adjustments of caring for children and the home. This book helps stay-at-home moms research their new job, plan for it, and understand better where... This description may be from another edition of this product.
First, I want to address the review of one star and a "warning" (about the God refs). I also tend to glaze over at too many references to God, as I am not overly religious. Having said that, I still buy plenty of homemaking books that have that element, and I simply skim/skip over the parts that do not interest me. No need to slam a book without reading it first. You know, "don't judge a book by its cover" and all, LOL. Unless of course, you are an easily offended kind of person (which I am not). ; ) This book was immensely helpful to me when I was just starting out as a SAHM. Gave me tons of ideas and really inspired me to love my new "job". I still flip it open now and then to get some new ideas or to hit the "refresh" button on my week/month. ; ) Good book altogether, really made me feel like what I was doing was important (now I have the confidence to know that without a book, but it was really helpful in those first months at home).
Excellent and realistic.

I have read parts of this book, and that which I have read has been really fun. There are handy, practical suggestions for making life at home interesting for both you and your children. It is definitely written from a Christian perspective, however one that many denominations would be more or less compatible with. If you are curious/positive about Christianity but don't consider yourself a formal believer, it will also probably work OK for you.
God Bless Angie Peters and "Celebrate Home!"

I met Angie at a "Stay-at-Home Mom's" Conference, and she was wonderful! She understand all the "stuff" that we at-home moms face. I believe that one of the best sections in the book deals with cutting back to one income. She gives some very practical advice on how to do this. I have just had my second child, and I just finished reading the book again! I would recommend this book to anyone who is even considering staying home with their kids!
Wonderful book for SAHM's

The most realistic book written for Christian at-home Moms

Angie Peters gets it! She has a very unique ability to put into words all of an at-home Mom's experiences and feelings. AND, make us feel OK about those feelings with plenty of information on resources to help. I recommend this book very highly, especially to those mothers-to-be who never stayed at home and are planning to.
