I was so fortunate to able to stay home with my daughter full-time. Before I stayed home full-time, I had had a varied and lucrative career life. But being a mom was my priority. When my daughter went to pre-school, I started working part-time and now that she's in kindergarten, I'm working full-time as a librarian, and my career choice allows me to work around my daughter's school schedule. I can take her to school and pick her up after school. I am now working in my dream field, and my job is only going to continue to grow and allow me to advance. If I hadn't been able to take the time off for my daughter, I don't think I would have found such fulfillment in my career life once I decided to re-enter the workforce. This book is great support for Moms who choose to stay home full-time and put their career life on hold for a few years!

This book and philosophy have become the basisof a national organization called "Mothers & More"(formerly known as F.E.M.A.L.E.) that works as a support group forSAHMs and as an advocate for their rights as members of theworkforce...I can't say enough about this organization!
