[.ca] The Working Mother's Guide to Life: Strategies, Secrets, ... (ISBN 0609807358)

excellent resource:
As an expecting mother, I found Mason's book to be immensely helpful. It gave me loads of great advice that I can start using right away. I found the stories of other mothers to be particularly engaging and reassuring. The book gave me a feeling of comfort and reassured me that yes, I will be able to balance it all. I can't wait to put her advice into action!

Very Helpful:
This is a wonderful book! Not only is Linda Mason's nonjudgmental approach to different mothering styles and support systems very refreshing, but mothers from all backgrounds will also be able to relate to the many touching and humorous stories shared by other women. I am sure my whole family will benefit from the workable suggestions about managing the morning and evening routines and getting household chores done! I would definitely recommend this book to any mother, especially if she is working or planning to go back to work in the near future.

Practical Guide for Working Mothers:
This book is a must for any mother considering joining the work force! The Working Mother's Guide to Life offers great tips on choosing child care, making the transition from maternity leave to work and balancing home and work life. I found it particulary easy to relate to the many working mom's that were interviewed. Their stories of struggles and successes are inspiring. I would recommend this book as a valuable resource not only for working Mom's, but for their families and employers as well!

Great for New Moms -- OK for older Moms:
Having two children ages 5 and 9, I've read many many books about managing work and family. This book didn't add much new information. But if you're a new Mom and just starting to try and figure out day care and work/life balance issues, then it's great.

Best Guide a Working Mom can have!:
This book is an absolute lifesaver for a busy working FAMILY. Tips for Moms and Dads, but mostly a supportive guide for the mothers trying to do it all. I've been a working mother for 5+ years and wish Linda Mason had published this book years ago. She is a truly inspirational woman making great improvements in the childcare field. I applaude Bright Horizons, Linda and her husband for creating such a great place for kids and parents to learn, grow and be nutured. I look forward to her next book!
