• 9.2.2008 - Book Study - The Mission of Motherhood

Posted in This and That

Lindsay over at Passionate Homemaking is hosting a book study on the book, The Mission of Motherhood. I have actually read this book about 4 years ago and it changed my mothering and my view on motherhood. I actually found my copy of this book about a month ago and wanted to read it again - so the timing on this book study is perfect! I would highly recomend this book! Who is going to join me??!
