Love what you're doing! What sahm doesn't need LOTS of encouragement! And read your email...I am in the same boat, my husband not home since he went to the movies too! Probably 007. I am out of the loop.

Anyhow...I want to have your ebook whether or not I win...I will buy!

Fellow SAHM here. When my almost eleven month old goes down for the night, I often find myself in the bathroom doing something like filing my nails or tweeting my eyebrows - it's like a spa treatment! Seeing her dance to any jingle, whether radio, commercial, etc., cracks me up and makes me so happy! Please, "book me", I'd love to read your work!

Shell - hello fellow SAHM, and welcome to the blog! Love your tip for the spa treatment at night! I'm going to try that. And I love seeing my kids dance, too. Happy to add you to the contest drawing!

I love being there for my beautiful daughter, teaching her things, sharing quiet moments, seeing her learn, watching her sleep. It all makes me happy but it all wears me out!!

Hi Kylie! I totally hear you on relishing those sweet little moments with your child ... but it is a lot of giving. You're in good company! Thanks for commenting!

BOOK ME!!!! Please :)
Best part of being a stay at home mom is the bond I'm building with my son. I get to watch him grow up and be the first to see him learn to do something new. It's not always easy..but it's worth it!!! Becoming a mother is hands down the best thing that has ever happened to me!!!

Stefanie, I couldn't agree with you more. Being home to see my children grow up, and to be apart of their childhood memories, is my #1 favorite reason for being home. (And Amen! It's not always easy!!) I really appreciate your comment! Hope to see you around again!

Hi, it's Shell, the long-lost winner of Shannon's giveaway. Sad to say I have not managed to finish reading (can I blame the Holiday season and my baby's first birthday bash and have you all believe and forgive me?). I have definitely pinpointed myself as the Perfectionistic Polly that is probably not a lot of fun to be around at times; i don't even enjoy myself at times. My husband works ridiculous hours over 100 a week and I find this only revs up my perfectionism even more so. I'm reading on the find out how Shannon's wise words and experience can help...

Oh Shell, you are a honey! :) I was just thinking of you yesterday, wondering how you are! Glad to hear you're reading the book, and I know what you mean by life distracting good reading!

BTW, I have an idea for a product for SAHMconsulting. If you'd like to be my test subject, email me at Shannon@sahmconsulting.com. It's super fun (to me), but I need to know from a super-reader like you what you'd think.

Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
