Download or read book How She Really Does It written by Wendy Sachs and published by Da Capo Lifelong Books. This book was released on 2009-04-27 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The kids are sick but the boss needs the presentation on her desk by ten. The parent-child kindergarten brunch can't be missed, yet the business meeting beckons. When the only thing she knows for sure is that her day will bring a new set of challenges and priorities to be juggled, how does a stay-at-work mom do it all?Wendy Sachs, stay-at-work mother of two, has interviewed women from every walk of life-- from celebrities like makeup maven Bobbi Brown, designer Vera Wang, CNN's Soledad O'Brien, the Today Show Ann Curry to everyday moms from all over the country--and has uncovered some inspiring answers. For starters, some stay-at-work moms have given up striving for balance; for true happiness and sanity, integration is the real key. Others have discovered that compartmentalization--wearing different hats at different times of day--is the only way to thrive. For all, the psychological, emotional, and financial payback of work is what keeps them feeling alive; even if they could afford not to work (and many can afford the choice), they wouldn't have it any other way.Demonstrating that a byproduct of having career ambition is a happier marriage and family, How She Really Does It will validate the millions of women now attempting to "have it all," or at least some of it all the time. Revealing the keys to staying-at-work, staying sane, staying satisfied, and staying at the heart of her family as well, How She Really Does It is a modern working woman's handbook.

Most moms are grateful they make the choice to be a stay-at-home mom (SAHM), but after a couple of years, they may feel like they’re losing their mind.

This third way is to be the primary caregiver for their children while deliberately creating a path that fuels their passions – leaving them fulfilled and confident.

Download or read book Happy Motherhood and Its Secrets written by Peter London and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-08-16 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is for all new moms and those who are just expecting their beloved child! Did you know that back in the 19th century, children were treated like little adults and that no special importance was attached to how they are raised, fed, or often what happens to them after birth? It was fashionable to leave children to be brought up by mothers - poor rural women, who, apart from a small group of their own children, looked after other people's offspring. Parents picked up their children only when they could go to school (preferably boarding, so that they would still not disturb the adults). A lot has changed since then. Currently, breastfeeding is being promoted and the ideal of a well-groomed mother who realizes herself professionally, and in addition takes photos with her baby, priding herself on her motherhood, as celebrities often do. For some women, unfortunately, a child is still an unnecessary burden on the way to a career, although deep in their hearts they would love to have one, and when they get pregnant, they are terrified of "what will happen now". I invite you to read my book .
