"Being a mom can sometimes feel like an overwhelming job with endless tasks and lofty, unattainable goals. It's not easy mothering children. In the throes of motherhood, moms often find themselves forgetting something foundational to their own identity: moms are people too. This is a book for mothers, but not about mothering. It's a book about education, but not about teaching children. This is a book about self-education. It is a book about how a mother can capture her moments and days in such a way that they add up to a life worth living. Her life. In Beyond Mere Motherhood, Cindy Rollins shows moms how they can develop their own personhood--how they can keep thinking, growing, and playing. She casts a vision for them to cultivate beauty and wisdom in themselves, even as they faithfully--and busily--mother their children. Cindy shows moms how to pursue their ideal in the midst of reality."--Amazon website.
