I'd highly recommend this book to anyone who really enjoys crafts and cooking, as there are many creative ideas for projects and recipes you can make yourself. Unfortunately I don't really have the patience for either of those things, or for reading stories that are mostly about mundane happenings, as these are. Focusing on the mundane doesn't necessarily make this a terrible anthology, there were a number of talented people involved who seemed satisfied with the end result of their contributions, but personally I felt it tedious to read through all of them. Again, from an arts perspective this book is really a feat of teamwork and creativity, especially since it was compiled and shipped during the height of the pandemic, but if you're looking for something that's exciting storywise you may want to look elsewhere. If I ever am babysitting or raising kids of my own I'd definitely revisit this anthology to utilize some of the craft ideas provided though.
