Most busy working moms I know, don't have time to digest a thick
book telling them how to simplify their family's life. But, Sabrina's book is very simple...easy to digest...lightweight!...filled with encouragment(and humor;)and reminds us all that the best tip of all is to begin each and every day with a few minutes with God. As a very busy working mom, I have already seen the benefits from putting some of her tips to work in my life. And, we've shared Sabrina's tips and tools with with many of the women we minister to in the marketplace! Thanks Sabrina!

This review is from: Moms on the Job: 7 Secrets for Success at Home and Work (Paperback)

I read this in under an hour and it helped me to have an idea of a workable morning schedule with an infant and a new job. Avoids the at-home mom debate - yay - and the author is a Christian. This is just a "how to handle and schedule your morning, how to work with kids in the picture, and how to balance it all" book. Not overly preachy, but some folks may not like the chapter about prayer.

I liked it, some ideas were obvious, but I did get some good new ideas too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Much More Than a Self-Help Book!, May 22, 2006

By 

Cindy (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Moms on the Job: 7 Secrets for Success at Home and Work (Paperback)

Moms on the Job is much more than basic self-help book. Yes, the author gives us great tips and inspiration, but, as a woman and working mom, I was challenged to make changes. As I read, I found myself assessing my habits, my goals, and my priorities. I was also encouraged to seek help beyond myself--- to look to God. And working moms definitely need God. We also need mentors. This book left me feeling as though I'd been positively mentored on mulitiple levels. Good job, Sabrina O'Malone!
