About the Book
In 2002, Wendy Chamberlin resigned her post as U.S. ambassador to Pakistan stating that "There are many people who can be an ambassador . . . but nobody else can be my daughters' mother." Do you share Chamberlin's parenting philosophy? Are you among the 87% of women with a child or children under the age of 12 working outside the home who would really rather spend more time at home than away from it? Perhaps you want a greater sense of balance between your home and work lives but don't know where to start. And of course, there's the sticky issue of money--can your family thrive without your income?
The Smart Mom's Guide to Staying Home addresses in detail one of the most common fears that often prevents parents from shifting their full-time focus from the office to home: how not to sacrifice your standard of living when going from two incomes to one. Based on the philosophy that deprivation never worked for anyone, you will learn how your family can enjoy many of the riches they currently do and still prosper without missing a beat.
With real-world, every day approaches to spending decisions,
The Smart Mom's Guide to Staying Home provides 65 easy and
simple ways to keep more of your family's money and make the
money you have go further. From grocery shopping and eating
out to fashion and feedback, The Smart Mom's Guide to Staying Home is a terrific resource for planning and achieving financial
harmony, greater life balance and personal fulfillment.
Christine Walker spent over a decade
working in politics and business-to-business
sales before making the jump
to stay-at-home mom. Having made
this challenging transition herself, she
was inspired to help other parents who
wanted to spend more time with their
children. Christine lives in suburban
Chicago with her husband and three
young children, still amazed that she
was able to find time to write this book.
