Chicken Soup for the Soul: Stay-at-Home Moms

Chicken Soup for the Soul books have been around for as long as I can remember. Each edition contains 101 stories that are frequently inspirational in nature and each book has its own theme. One of the newest editions, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Stay-at-Home Moms: 101 Inspirational Stories for Mothers about Hard Work and Happy Families focuses on the love and chaos experienced by real stay-at-home mothers.  Common themes include making the decision to be a stay-at-home mom, learning how to multitask, finding joy and self-esteem, and more. 

The book is organized into the following chapters:

1. Decisions, Decisions....

2. The Daily Grind

3. Outside the Box

4. Becoming a Specialist

5. Working from Home

6. Ladies Who Launch

7. Gender Benders

8. The Dividends

9. Pink Slips

10. Looking Back

Review: As with other Chicken Soup for the Soul books, this edition does a great job of mixing story themes so from one story to the next you can go from laughing to crying.  These books have an amazing way of evoking emotions and when you can relate to the main theme, it becomes that much more special.  Being a stay-at-home mom, I would imagine, would be one of the most difficult and unappreciated careers.  However, while you are not rewarded with a paycheck, I can see by reading these stories that you are rewarded with much more...the extra time with your children.
