I just received this book and couldn't put it down until I finished it! It was very funny but with great tips and insights. I too was a working mom and decided to stay home after my third child. Alana is right on when she informs her readers of the different challenges that exist when you decide to stay home (example - your house is never clean)! I didn't realize when I was a working mom how much less time I would have when I decided to stay home. But the rewards are great and Alana shows you how to enjoy your kids and your time staying at home!

This book is a light read, humorous, but irritating. I hated how she kept referring to "Julia Childs" -- it's Julia CHILD, no S. And by the way, Julia Child never had any children, so why are you referring to her in terms of being some sort of perfect mother? I would say take a pass on this book. There's not much substance here. If you must, borrow it from the library.

This book was a very useful guide for me as I changed from a full time professional to a full time professional mom. It brought up a lot of good questions and things to consider as I made the transisiton.

This book is light hearted, fun, and easy to read. It made me laugh and realize everything will be ok.
