You know how toddlers and preschoolers often have a favorite blanket or plush toy that they use as a comforter? That's what I want to do with the pages of this book: Wrap them around me until I feel better.

Laura Sabin Riley has crafted a meaningful book of spiritual simplicity for busy women and maxed out moms. The easy-to-read devotionals remind me daily not just of how important motherhood is, but also how important my relationship to God is! Each is contained on a single page and consists of a relevant Scripture, a real-life example from Laura's own life and a short but honest prayer. No where is there a condeming word or pointing finger. Every where, there is a brief brush with grace -- just enough to make me feel that a really good friend has patted my hand and told me that yes, the orange juice will come out of the car upholstery and no, these intense days of parenting won't last forever.

All Mothers Are Working Mothers is divided into twelve sections (one for each month) that address "home-is-my-workplace" issues. I especially like November's theme: "Job Security -- What Do You Mean I'm Not Replaceable If I Decide to Quit?" If you're a mom, get this book. If you know a mom, get this book for her. The benefits of reading it could literally be felt for generations to come.

Laura Sabin Riley offers a quiet moment away from the challenges, joys, and duties of a working mom. After all, all mothers are working moms and need a breather to enjoy a quiet word from God to boost their day. It's right by my bedside where I can start with a daily devotion each morning.

Way to go Laura! As a working Father of two, Laura has inspired me to focus on the needs and challenges faced by my wife everyday. When does the sequel ship?

I've read alot of devotional books over the past twelve years as a mother. This is one, if not, THE best. Laura packs each day full of encouragment--I truly felt refreshed after reading each days thoughts and challenges.

You won't be disappointed in this book, and it won't collect dust . You'll be using it far to often and then passing it along to another mother you love.

Wonderful devotional for SAHMs. Laura gives wonderful insight & outstanding, practical prayers.

This book is so helpful for a stay-at-home mom! Ms. Riley has a way of writing that makes the reader feel as if she knows exactly what you are going through as a mom! I felt that my self worth as both a woman/wife and mother were instantly enhanced! I was encouraged by her devotionals. Each day I learn a little bit more of how to be a better mom and find it difficult to not read ahead!!! Thanks Laura!!!!

Laura Sabin Riley has truly touched my life with her wonderful book. It got me through my first year as a SAHM. Her insight is right on target and she makes you feel like she is your new best friend. I would DEFINITELY recommend this book to other moms! I promise, you won't want to put it down!

This book is A+++ Laura Sabin Riley hits it right on the nose! Being a stay-at-home-mom herself, she speaks from the heart and knows how it is. I haven't had the book long, but I absolutely love it!!! I recommend it to anyone who feels the frustrations that go along with being a SAHM.

Six months ago I went from being a full-time medical professional to an around-the-clock SAHM. Not being familiar with the range of devotionals available, I looked to the reader reviews to help me choose a book that would provide me perspective and encouragement, and would help me incorporate a time of spiritual reflection (no matter how brief) into my daily routine.

I have been reading this book daily for almost a month now, and I have not been disappointed! Laura Sabin Riley's devotions are poignant, relevant, and warm my heart each day. I often share her message with my husband when he gets home from work as it is relevant for him too. His contribution to this review is that her message is not at all "cheesy" like some devotionals can be. I plan on buying a nice supply of these books to have on hand for when my girlfriends and sisters-in-law become moms too.
