Family Management books

mrsmccardell – I think the review was unfair on that topic. Or, at the very least I’d say that is a narrow way of looking at the “me” issue. The point that is emphasized is that we can’t expect to be the best mothers, teachers or wives that God calls us to be if we don’t look after ourselves both spiritually and physically. Now the author does put forth some ideas about caring for ourselves as woman and mother that I didn’t feel were the big answer for me (bi-weekly mother’s retreat for a day as one example). But if there were TWO or THREE ideas that I didn’t care for there were FIFTY that I loved, were inspired by, or felt called to explore further. To me, that made the book a winner.
