Product Description

When you decided to stay at home, you probably thought about the quality time you'd spend with your kids and the wonderful meals you would cook. Maybe you even thought you would do some decorating or take up yoga. Later you realized things would be different. Your house is messier. You still have days where the kids drive you crazy. And then you wonder - what did I get myself into? Relax. Domestically Challenged can help. Written as a humorous guidebook, this book will show new stay at home moms how to: . Keep the kids entertained without hiring a circus . Find ways to keep up with housework, short of hiring a housekeeper (though we'd like to!) . Deal with the emotional aspects of her new job (including boredom and every mom's favorite - guilt) . And do such outlandish things such as finding time for herself.

Customer Reviews

Very Funny and Informative!!
I just received this book and couldn't put it down until I finished it! It was very funny but with great tips and insights. I too was a working mom and decided to stay home after my third child. Alana is right on when she informs her readers of the different challenges that exist when you decide to stay home (example - your house is never clean)! I didn't realize when I was a working mom how much less time I would have when I decided to stay home. But the rewards are great and Alana shows you how to enjoy your kids and your time staying at home!

Easy to read
This book was a very useful guide for me as I changed from a full time professional to a full time professional mom. It brought up a lot of good questions and things to consider as I made the transisiton.
