This book shows them how it can be done. Aimed at women who would like to become a housewife or have already taken the plunge, The Smart Woman's Guide to Staying at Home shows how financially it can work and also how it doesn't have to be all drudgery and boredom.. It tells you how to prioritise your time so that once the traditional household tasks have been taken care of, there is still time to nurture your children, your creativity and above all, to enjoy yourself.
