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.

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.

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.
