For years I have been thinking that I should write down some of the wisdom I have gained after years of trial and error motherhood. Afterall, I wouldn’t want my posterity to learn everything the hard way. Now that I’ve discovered this book I don’t have to. A Sane Woman’s Guide to Raising a Large Family covers much of what I myself have learned and beyond. A mother of ten children, Mary Ostyn writes about everthing from creative ways to find space in your home to how to avoid the guilt and headaches that can surround multiple children’s activities.
Whether you have one child, and are thinking of another, or have ten children and are still planning for more, Ostyn’s practical approach to motherhood is a must read. Her solutions to the challenges that mothers face every day range from the familiar to the wildly creative and back again. Some parenting books have a tendency to overwhelm the reader with information and lists of do’s and do not’s, this guide is different. It is well organized and concise making it an enjoyable read that encourages you to get creative with your crew however many that might be.
