    Extremely Helpful! Excellent Tips and Advice

    This book was instrumental in teaching me how to save money. I had never been able to stick to a budget before, but with my baby as an incentive I was able to quit my job and stay home.

    Great HOW-TO on being an at-home mom

    I found this book to be extremely helpful and friendly. I tell all my friends who want to stay home with their kids- Get Jonni McCoy's Miserly Mom's and Dr. Laura's Parenthood by Proxy. Jonni McCoy tells you how and Dr. Laura tells you why.
