Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Summary of the book: Pay someone to do it for you. I wholeheartedly agree with abloome below. This book offers absolutely nothing other than "pay anyone you can to do it for you." It also assumes that by "working mother" you are the CEO of a very large corporation, work from morning until night and never have a spare second. The alleged helpful hints in this book are things like this: Get you and your child's belonging together the night before so you are not running all over the house looking for stuff in the morning. NO KIDDING. Unless ... Read More Rating: - If you have enough money to hire people, buy this book I am a working mother with a one year old daughter. I commute 3 hours a day, work full time and go to school. I was very disappointed in this book. I was hoping for some hands on practical tips to balancing motherhood and work. The author's solution to challenging problems is to hire someone else, which I can't afford. If you really want some good advice go to BlueSuitMom.com or buy an organizational book to help you get more organized. You will save tons of time and be happier. Rating: - Not bad, very focused on the American lifestyle. I found that this book had some excellent suggestions to make a family household more organised and I will be making use of these. However, I found that the book is aiming at women who are at a higher level in the corporate business structure than myself (perhaps at a middle to senior management level), and assumes that they will have a lot of money available to help resolve their time problems. The section on travelling when you are a working mother seemed rather poor to me, I have done a ... Read More Rating: - Practical and easy-to-read! I'm a new working mom with a ten-month-old daughter! I have been searching for resources to support my decision and all I'd found has been stay-at-home mom information! This book is a godsend! Although alot of it has to do with school-age children, which I know I can use for years to come, it has given me tips and ideas to use immediately as well as reassuring me that I can do it all and have my kids turn out ok! I'd rather be home, but for those of us who can't be, this is a the book to read! Rating: - A Must Have For Any Working Mom Returning to the Workplace I think this book will be very, very useful to any mom who is first returning to the workplace. While it definitely will be useful to all working moms, I have a feeling that the longer you have worked, the less likely it will be you will find really useful pointers in this book. However, if you're about to go back to work, you've got to read this book. Personally, I have been working for 4 years after having my kids, so I didn't really find the beginning chapters on organization all that helpful. I ...
