New York Times Bestseller

The internationally syndicated radio host celebrates a group of critically important yet usually overlooked women—stay-at-home moms—and offers them words of inspiration and wisdom.

“I’m scared out of my mind.”

Dr. Laura hears this frequently from women who know that staying home to raise their children is the right thing for their family. Building on the principles developed during her long career as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Dr. Laura provides a wealth of advice and support as well as compassion and inspiration to help them attain this goal. She pays special attention to the outrageous fact that stay-at-home moms are actually controversial! Dr. Laura offers a profound and unique understanding of how important it is for many mothers to raise their own children, and how stay-at-home moms benefit society.

Life changing read. Great words of wisdom. Thanks for this wonderful book!!!! A++ a must read

a must have for a SAHM

i loved it. being a stay at home mom is hard and the world seems against us. Dr Laura helps us not to feel alone and gives great advice on why this is the best option for our family. she helps us over come trials and hard times..

Wow wow wow!! THANK YOU!!!!

Where has this woman been for the past 6 years and 3 kids? You’re the mother I never had, Dr. Laura!!! Thank you for the confidence I needed so very much.

Zeal is officially renewed!!

I needed some real encouragement because I was getting stuck in a rut. I’d gotten so caught up in the drudgery that I was losing my zeal. There were still wonderfully joyful and happy moments but they were easily eclipsed by repeated bad behavior (my children) and feelings of frustration and incompetence.

As hard as being a SAHM is, this book helped remind me that the rewards are priceless. My girls always want to know “where is mommy? Where did mommy go?” If I’m out of sight. It’s heartwarming although at times agitating as I’m just trying to get a few moments to brush my teeth or compose myself.

I have already shared and recommended this book. I will continue to do so and I’ll likely listen to select chapters when needed. Excellent book.

Wonderful Perspective

A great reminder about the importance of being your kid's mom. Uplifting and encouraging to those who have chosen or are considering being full time moms.
