Book Review of Working Mothers 101: How to Organize Your Life, Your Children, and Your Career to Stop Feeling Guilty and Start Enjoying it All

bethanybob avatar reviewed on


The title caught my eye -- being able to get organized and work *and* be a mom without feeling guilty? Sign me up! But when I read the book, I didn't see myself in it: it feels aimed toward women in two- or three-piece suits who are either single mothers or partnered, with a child or multiple children older than two. I gleaned a few helpful tidbits on organization, such as using an over-the-door plastic shoe organizer for my son's toys and accessories. It failed to get into the nitty-gritty details of organization, which I needed. I loved that the chapters are short and mostly comprised of quick lists -- perfect for reading inbetween chasing a toddler and doing housework. The bulk of the information just wasn't useful or a good fit for me.
