New Ebook! Drumroll, please…
Today I am excited to introduce you to a brand new ebook written by my friend Anne at Modern Mrs. Darcy.
Work Shift: How to create a better blend of work, life and family.
I am excited for this, not only because I was interviewed for the book {ahem}…
but because I think it is totally relevant to today’s modern women. Most women I know help contribute to their family’s income. This book gives practical ways to make that work while still caring for children in the home. (Share Care)
My sister Hannah cuts hair two days a week at a busy salon in Plymouth. I paint and blog from home. My sister Beth makes crafts and sells them locally.
But my three sisters and I grew up in a totally traditional home.
My dad worked the cranberry bogs outside the home and my mom took care of us and all household related things. She put her nursing career aside for us, and this, during a time when the feminist movement was screeming that you needed to find a career to be fulfilled.
Turn back the clock a generation to my grandparents era, cranberry farmers in the early 1930’s. My grandfather worked outside, yes, but so did my grandmother. She did her housework, then helped on the family farm.
From the farms of yesteryear, to the industrial revolution, to the feminist movement–>today’s women have come full circle and have no axe to grind. We don’t want to choose family or work, we are seeking to blend it. And this is what Anne’s book is all about. How to go about doing this.
She interviews numerous women to see how this all works.
You’ll be fascinated and inspired to read how many blend home, work and life in today’s current situation.
And although the book is not necessarily Christian, I was reminded of the Proverbs 31 women who was industrious for the sake of her family and for the betterment of the poor as I was reading it.
You’ll love it, too. And you can get it here!!

It sounds like a great book to encourage women. Blessings, Diane Roark http://www.recipesforourdailybread.com
