I found the idea of faithfulness instead of futility incredibly helpful, because feeling like nothing I do matters - I'll just have to do it again tomorrow - is a besetting sin of mine. Her perspective is one that I need to remember and work towards!Emily (Laundry and Lullabies)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16367630628716619991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6210913620206544383.post-38562909170807635432010-03-13T12:35:55.221-08:002010-03-13T12:35:55.221-08:00Thanks for participating in the Saturday Review at...Thanks for participating in the Saturday Review at Semicolon, and thanks for your kind comment.<br /><br />If you're a poetry lover, I'd like to invite you (and your readers) to participate in the poetry survey that I'm doing.

I'm glad I didn't read it right after we brought the twins home.Jessica Snellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17185831697537364088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6210913620206544383.post-13503310549280995912010-03-11T12:27:00.281-08:002010-03-11T12:27:00.281-08:00My friend recommended this awhile ago, and-- like ...My friend recommended this awhile ago, and-- like Amy-- I wasn't in a place to receive it. I just read Cofnessions of an Organized Homemaker (Denisse Schoefield) and found it lacking a why among all the how-tos. Thanks for the recommendation. Now would be a good time for me to read this.<br />AnnieMomCO3https://www.blogger.com/profile/07231541513973893466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6210913620206544383.post-83784091116325162992010-03-11T10:25:34.860-08:002010-03-11T10:25:34.860-08:00I read this last year right before my baby was bor...I read this last year right before my baby was born and just wasn't in the right place to receive it. We'd moved across the country and I was 8 months into a high-risk pregnancy. I was struggling just to create some sort of order and sense of home for us. Thanks for such a good review to return to the book again as the content is close to my heart as you say, "the kind that feel absolutely familiar when you read them, but that you know you've never been able to say so well yourself." RJ works with the Petersons at Eastern and they were one of the first to reach out in welcome to us.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07936654106657579364noreply@blogger.com
