Life's Work: Confessions of an Unbalanced Mom


Life’s Work: Confessions of an Unbalanced Mom


$3.99


A few years ago, while trying to make sense of her own hectic world, award-winning journalist Lisa Belkin was asked to write a very personal column for The New York Times. She called it “Life’s Work” because it was about the intersection – or, more accurately, the collision – of life and work. Since then she’s been inundated with stories of other people trying to catch their “balance”: the CEO father-to-be who restructured his entire company so he would have time to see his baby, the divorced mom who thought she might have to give away the family iguana because the store that sold live food closed before she got home from work. But after hundreds of columns and thousands of reader e-mails, Belkin has yet to hear from a single person who has everything neatly under control. With natural wit and hard-won wisdom, Belkin takes on the myth of the Supermom. Fans of her “Life’s Work” columns will find them at the heart of this book, but they will also find the life lived behind those columns – stories of her husband, who really deserves more attention; of her two young sons, who might eat more vegetables and fewer chicken nuggets if she had more energy; of her editors, who expect her to fit some work into a day filled with school plays and science projects; and of her mother, who is always happy to offer advice about how things used to be.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A work at home parent is an entrepreneur who works from home and integrates parenting into his or her business activities. They are sometimes referred to as a WAHM (work at home mom) or a WAHD. Entrepreneurs choose to run businesses from home for a variety of reasons, including lower business expenses, personal health limitations, eliminating commuting or in order to have a more flexible schedule. This flexibility can give an entrepreneur more options when planning tasks, business and nonbusiness, including parenting duties. While some homebased entrepreneurs opt for childcare outside the home, others integrate child rearing into their work day and workspace. The latter are considered workathome parents.

I’m much older than my computer–are you suggesting that the older something is, the more uselss it becomes? Because that’s what I’m hearing (although I’m not hearing it very well…..) Love, your old mom Yes, I am a pest, but I just looked at Iowa weather and it will be 5 below Tuesday night. Hope you have a hat with ears. Love you, Mom Sweet, funny, endearing, slightly technologically inept, and always just a little nagging, emails from mothers to their adult children are much more fun to read when it’ s somebody else’ s mother. PostcardsFromYoMomma.com is proof of that- when it launched, this repository of reader-submitted missives from Mom received more than 100,000 unique visitors in just the first two weeks. In Love, Mom , editors Doree Shafrir and Jessica Grose have assembled more than two hundred of the best never-before-seen submissions. From school, sex, technology, and appearance to health, work, holidays, and food- and complete with a selection of celebrity emails (including Oscar-winner Diablo Cody’ s mom on her daughter’ s " blob" ), and sidebars throughout- Love, Mom is ultimately a reflection on how our moms are always our moms . . . no matter how the message is sent.

Mom-in-Chief


Mom-in-Chief


$22.95


We work so hard to build our management and leadership skills in our careers, but we often feel like blithering idiots when faced with a child who won’t cooperate, a husband who doesn’t pay attention and a household that seems ready to collapse from the weight of our anxiety about chores. “Why can’t I be as smart at home as I am at work?” I have often found myself wondering. These words—written by Carol Evans and excerpted from the Foreword of Mom-in-Chief —sum up why leadership expert Jamie Woolf wrote this book. They reflect the sentiments of countless professional women who feel great about our accomplishments in the workplace but not so great about how we run our homes. In this one-of-a-kind book, Woolf sets out to help readers bridge the gap between corner office and kitchen counter. Along the way she shares inspiring stories, practical strategies and interactive assessment tools to illustrate how the best workplace practices can bring more joy and success to family life. Drawing from two decades of experience, she lays out her “best practices” to improve your communication, create a healthy family culture, discover your parent leadership style, manage crises, thrive during adolescence, and juggle work and family priorities. Readers will explore common leadership dilemmas, including: When to step in and when to step back How to maximize the learning opportunities that come from mistakes How to stay connected with a pesky toddler or testy teenager How to create rituals that strengthen the family’s esprit de corps When to push kids and when to let them quit How to feel less like a maid or short-order cook and more like a skilled leader capable of unleashing the potential of others. Mom-in-Chief addresses real quandaries and covers everything that smart career-oriented women need to know in order to fulfill their parenting potential and navigate challenges with skill and grace. This book is a welcome reminder that leading a family doesn’t mean churning out living masterpieces, or indulging children with the perfect everything. It does mean inspiring without pushing your own agenda, nurturing without micromanaging, encouraging without aiming to win a best-of-show competition, and expecting the best without ignoring the joyful ordinariness of childhood.

Carnegie Hall, look out! Zoe Elias has big musical dreams. As soon as she gets a glossy baby grand piano, she’ll be on her way. Trouble is, what Zoe gets is a wood-grained, vinyl-seated, wheeze-bag organ. The Perfectone D-60. How will she ever be discovered as a prodigy when her lesson book is The Hits of the Seventies ? Not even a cha-cha beat can make the theme song from The Brady Bunch sound like Beethoven. If you add to that problem a mom who’s always at work, a dad who’s afraid to leave the house, and an odd boy who follows her home from school every day, Zoe’s big dreams are looking pretty lopsided. But when she enters the annual Perform-O-Rama organ competition, Zoe discovers that life is full of surprises-and that maybe a little lopsidedness will help her find what she’s really hoping for.

From her fame as the Oscar-winning actress who uttered the famous line in Moonstruck, I know who I am, to her lauded role as Mrs. Madrigal, the landlord of indeterminate gender in Tales of the City, to being the cousin of presidential candidate Michael Dukakis, Olympia Dukakis has captured the imagination of a broad audience. Known for her straightforward talk, her lack of pretension, and her ongoing quest to explore ever more aspects of herself and her art, she is a role model to women of all ages.Olympia Dukakis’s award-winning role in Moonstruck made her a household name, but before that overnight success came twenty-eight years of hard work. For nineteen of those years, she was an integral part of running the Whole Theatre Company in Montclair, New Jersey, while she and her husband raised their three children. She managed to have it all — career, family, home — before having it all became fashionable (even if she did root for the wrong team at her sons’ soccer games — We’re in the blue shirts, Mom ). She also managed to care for her aging mother, who developed Alzheimer’s and moved into the family home, completing Olympia’s three-generation family.In Ask Me Again Tomorrow, this internationally renowned film and stage star reveals her struggle to assimilate as a first-generation Greek-American, her long alienation from her mother and how that finally resolved itself, her battles with addiction and her volatile personal relationships, and the efforts it took for her to overcome all of this and achieve excellence in her professional calling. A story told with honesty, humor, and the sincere desire to be shared, Ask Me Again Tomorrow is more than a celebrity memoir –it’s a book that will endure.During a career that has spanned more than forty years, Olympia Dukakis has worked as an actress, director, producer, teacher, and activist. She received an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, the New York Film Critics Award, the Los Angeles Film Cr

Extreme Teens

It’s easy to make assumptions about teens–high school, dating, Mom and Dad in the background, along with a house, a few siblings, and a beloved pet. But many of today’s teens don’t fit this All-American image, and designing teen library services based on preconceptions leaves many teens out–from home-schooled and gifted teens to pregnant teens, immigrants, juvenile delinquents, homeless teens, and many others. Anderson, a YALSA Serving the Underserved (SUS) Trainer, shatters the stereotypes, showing you how to customize your library service to fit the needs of diverse teens. After explaining why it’s important to reach out to these kids, and contrasting the myths about teens with the realities, Anderson details the diverse groups that make up the category of teen: and the many situations and experiences that define their library needs. She provides step-by-step plans for connecting with these young adults–from creating a positive atmosphere through policies and staff training to building a collection, designing library services and programs, and providing outreach. Interspersed with anecdotes, pertinent statistics, and useful information, this practical work will change the way you think about and work with teens.
