dr. laura
The one thing I miss about not having a car is listening to Dr. Laura on the AM everyday. Her talk show was by far our favorite program and we loved when a road trip was planned around the time of her show (Yes, Jason is a HUGE fan).
I love her straight forward approach to every situation and how she is not afraid to tell someone when they are being an idiot, but most of all I love her views on stay-at-home-moms, so I was very excited when I saw her promoting her new book on Larry King the other night. I am not one myself but hope to be someday and I hate that I have to defend that choice when coworkers ask me about my future career goals.
I just thought some of you SAHMs out their might appreciate her new book In Praise of Stay-at-Home Moms.
They number in the millions and they are incredibly important to families and to our society, yet they are underappreciated, little respected, and even controversial.
Who are they?
They are the stay-at-home moms.
These are women who know in their hearts that staying home to raise their children is the right choice for the whole family. Some do it from the outset of their marriages, while others make the difficult transition from career-driven women to homemakers. Either way, it is a choice that is incredibly rich and rewarding, not to mention challenging.
Now Dr. Laura, building on principles developed during her long career as a licensed marriage and family therapist, provides a wealth of advice and support, as well as compassion and inspiration, to women as they navigate the wonders and struggles of being stay-at-home moms.
Learn how:
to hold your head high and deal with naysayers;
to see the benefits of being home not only for your children but also for your marriage;
to understand the changes you see in yourself;
to realize that the sacrifices you endure now will make for lasting bonds and a stronger family, in addition to a more cohesive community.
In Praise of Stay-at-Home Moms is a special book, a profound and unique understanding of how important it is for mothers to raise their own children.

Thanks for sharing, I enjoy Dr. Laura too, but hadn't heard about this new book! By the way, I still don't spend much time in the car, so I listen to her online...www.kfi640.com. 12-3 pacific time, and you can enjoy the local LA news during her commercials. :o)

I guess I'm going to have to start listening to Dr. Laura. My brother has been trying to get me to forever. He is a fan too, he listens to her everyday at work. I want to read that book, and I loved 'The Mother in Me' that you guys gave me for Christmas. Cant wait to see you in a couple weeks!!
