PLAY IT AGAIN, SAHM is compilation of emails, texts and instant messages between a group of Christian stay-at-home-moms who have formed a support group named - [SAHM I AM].

Their questions and drama remind me of when my kids were little and the issues I faced as a stay-at-home-mom:
• what kind of birthday party to throw - to –
• do we need to give all of our kids equal number Christmas presents – to –
• feeling inadequate because I don’t make my own baby food, etc.

These quirky Christian women are from all over the country and each have a distinct personality. Each woman shares her daily struggles with the group and as a result they try help each other by offering advice. Mayhem often follows as they try to solve their everyday problems.

Play It Again [SAHM I AM] is a fun fast paced book that made me laugh. It doesn't have any chapters which makes makes the flow of the book feel quick.

SERIES:

3rd in the SAHM series. Not as good as the first 2. Still an entertaining and easy read. I thought the new characters were unnecessary. They seemed to jump into the group too quickly.

I enjoyed the first two books in this series, and this was no exception. I obtained this book via PBS and wasn't planning to read it right away; however, the email format makes it an easy, quick read, and once I picked it up, I couldn't stop. :)

I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't more about their "retreat" once they got there. Overall I enjoyed reading about the SAHMs lives all over again. Hannah, although irritating, was an enjoyable addition. Her emails made me laugh out loud more than once.

This was actually better then I thought it would be . It kept me entertained and I probably will go find the other 2 books in this series . I wish it did have some more spiritual stuff in it though since it was from steeple hill .

Not a lot to say about this book. I had read the other two in the series. Never really got a lot out of them other than some mindless entertainment. Same can be said for the final book.\n\nI will say this, a book of nothing but emails is an interesting format�and quick to read.\n

Great ending to Efken's SAHM series. So many things that she says resonate with me as a mom.

Efken had me laughing before I even got through the first five pages. This was a great conclusion to the series!

Such a wonderful book. This was a great completion to the series...I wish she would write one more for it!

At first when I opened the book I didn't think I would like the format. My daughter told me I would get used to it. After I did, I thought it was a great book!
