From "The Guide"

"Stay-at-Home motherhood is certainly not something a woman needs to survive in the same way one survives disease or trauma or disaster or extreme hardship. Still, the constant demands that come from being the sole adult charged with the care of little minds and bodies (and the surroundings in which they exist) call for a daily routine that many Stay-at-Home moms need both skill and fortitude to survive."

FIELD-TESTED STRATEGIES FOR STAYING SMART, SANE, AND CONNECTED WHILE CARING FOR YOUR KIDS

The Stay-at-Home Survival Guide is a lively, intelligent, and insightful book specifically written for and with women who are currently employed as the hands-on, 24/7 caregivers of their children. Unlike many other books on the subject, The Stay-at-Home Survival Guide does not sugarcoat, sentimentalize, or reduce to slapstick the realities of Stay-at-Home motherhood. Instead, author Melissa Stanton (a Stay-at-Home mother of three) and the women she has interviewed acknowledge and address the perks and pitfalls of managing, enjoying and, yes, surviving their Stay-at-Home careers.

A must have book for any Stay-at-Home mom. Don't stay home without it!
