Excerpted from a review by Ginny Silva in Christian Parenting Today: "This book offers much-needed encouragement to families who are tired of hearing society's endless whine about the impossibility of mothers staying home to raise their own children. The fact is, it can be done, and it is being done, with ingenuity and good cheer. The book is short on sermonizing,it assumes a readership that is already convinced that staying home is best, but doesn't quite know how to make it work. Her Eleven Miserly Guidelines are completely practical, and at the top of the list is the most important: "Don't confuse frugality with depriving yourself."
