Domestically Challenged: A Working Mom's Survival Guide to Becoming a Stay-at-home Mom

When you decided to stay at home, you probably thought about the quality time you'd spend with your kids and the wonderful meals you would cook. Maybe you even thought you would do some decorating or take up yoga.

Later you realized things would be different. Your house is messier. You still have days where the kids drive you crazy. And then you wonder - what did I get myself into?

Relax. Domestically Challenged can help. Written as a humorous guidebook, this book will show new stay at home moms how to:

• Keep the kids entertained without hiring a circus
• Find ways to keep up with housework, short of hiring a housekeeper (though we'd like to!)
• Deal with the emotional aspects of her new job (including boredom and every mom's favorite – guilt)
• And do such outlandish things such as finding time for herself.

When she is not chasing after her kids, Alana Morales manages to find time to write. She has been published in numerous places, both online and off. She received a Bachelors degree in Psychology from Arizona State University and went on to teach English for six years before staying home with her kids.

She began her writing career with a parenting humor column, which she still writes to this day.

Alana is also the host of the online radio show Mom Writer's Talk Radio and runs a business copywriting business called The Write Decision. When she is not volunteering in her son's classroom or trying to potty train a reluctant toddler, she also teaches an online class for new at home parents.

Alana resides in Arizona with her two very active kids and husband of ten years.
