Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
In this account of her decision to become a full-time homemaker, Minnesotan Dorn shares her guilts, doubts, pangs, and personal growth. A day of soap-opera viewing taught her that she needed to engage her children in mutual activities. Other revelations, from volunteerism as a substitute for work to compromises with her husband about sharing "free" Saturday mornings, will evoke sympathy, recognition, and, perhaps, discovery among a wide audience who read this originally self-published work.

I'm not alone!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: From Briefcase to Diaper Bag: How I Quit My Job,: Stayed Home with My Kids, and Lived to Tell About It (Paperback)
Thank you, Katie Dorn! What a reassurance that I am not alone in making the difficult transition from career woman to stay-at-home mom. Dorn hits the nail on the head on all major issues concerning wanting to be a "good mom" but feeling miserable while the "perfect moms" act as though being a stay-at-home mom is the easiest job in the world. Written humorously in a "easy-reading" style that is easily read in a few evenings or in bits and pieces. A MUST HAVE book for any transitional mom.

Delightful and reassuring for stay at home moms.,
By A Customer
This review is from: From Briefcase to Diaper Bag: How I Quit My Job,: Stayed Home with My Kids, and Lived to Tell About It (Paperback)
Dorn had a way of seeing the humor in a serious decision many women are making. I was happy to read that other moms had similar feelings of brain mush and boredom at times. It reassured me that I was doing the right thing for me and I wasn't alone.
