Day 6 of 30 Days of Give Aways
Hello! It’s our very first day of school, and I’ve got to admit I’m happy the kids are heading back. I look forward to whipping the house back into shape– it gets a bit grimy when we’re home all day every day eating every snack and every meal at home and then wiping sticky hands on every wall.
this happens in your house too, right?
I wrote this book. I started it over nine years ago when my eldest was still a baby. I took her to work with me while I was running a drop-in childcare center in the local county courthouse. When I didn’t have clients, I listened to books on tape and spent a lot of time pontificating how I could somehow work from home (legitimately!) while raising my children.
It took a long time, but I feel like I’m living my dream. I really do.
at some point I’ll type out my over-nine-year timeline—- but this book was what I really wanted to bring to the world, and I’d like to share it with you.
If you’d like to read more about Totally Together, I wrote about it here
and there are a bunch of positive online reviews (I’ll link to them below). I’m touched by the emails I’ve been receiving, and I’m just so happy to be able to help busy families in any way I can.
I have 5 books to give away today. To enter, please leave a comment below and 5 winners will be chosen randomly. You may garner an additional two entries by tweeting about this giveaway with the hashtag #totallytogether and leaving me a comment saying so, and by pressing the “like” facebook button on my facebook fan page (please note that I do NOT run this site, it was set up and is maintained by a wonderful fan) and then leaving a comment below.
This contest will end at 7am on September 7th. Here is the Amazon link if you’d like to order the book directly. Thank you for your support!
