This book discusses the many opportunities a stay-at-home Mother has to enjoy her life while being actively involved with her children.
In “Stay Home, Stay Happy”, the author takes us into her personal life and the different approaches a stay at home Mother can use to make her life easier and more fulfilled. From organization and getting hired help, to intimate time for you and your spouse, she covers topics in an easy to read style. One of the many objectives the book achieves is that the author shows stay at home Mothers that it is a job to be proud of.
The book is laid out in a format of 10 secrets. It is primarily for Mothers and very little content is directed to Fathers. “Stay Home, Stay Happy” is a self-help read for the stay at home Mothers that might be searching for better direction in their life.

Parent reviews posted on Proloquo2go site:
“This is an amazing app! I bought an iTouch and Proloquo2go yesterday to try it out on my 7 year old son who has a mitochondrial disorder, autism, is non-verbal and has pretty significant fine motor control problems too….. I am so excited to have something I can put in my purse and have with us all the time – its nice that I can put videos on the iTouch too. …. We have been using a Springboard and were in the queue to get a Dynavox but I think this will quickly become the preferred mode of communication due to its size and ease of use. Great job on this. You have changed our lives in just 1 day!”
“This is going to be lifechanging for so many people.” – Lora, Mother of AAC user, age 8
“Our son is 12 years old and non-verbal and our dream is to have him communicate ’on the go’ and be just as cool as the other kids. Proloquo2Go makes his iPod a total communication system for him and everyone wants to see what he is doing. He’s feels great!” – Karen and Peter, Parents
