Does that sound a lot like your career?

Maybe it's time to read "Desperate Households", a very well written home management book by America's Family Manager, Kathy Peel.

I had the distinct honor to meet and have lunch with Kathy at last month's BlogHer Conference. This woman is so passionate about family management that it is hard not to lend her an ear. She passed along some fantastic tips, one being the four "F" words of motherhood. They are Fair, Firm, Fun, Flexible and they are all very reasonable expectations of a mother who is cool, calm, collected and in control of her and her family's lives.

Aside from her most important job of wife and mother of three, Kathy is also founder and CEO of Family Manager Network, Inc. and AOL Body's Kids & Family Coach. She also writes for popular magazines such as, Family Circle, Reader's Digest, Parenting and HomeLife. Kathy's signature "Family Manager Makeover" stories have been featured on Oprah and HGTV, among various other networks and programs. If that isn't enough, she is also a breast cancer survivor. Girl can multi-task!

Kathy's newest book, Desperate Households is just one of her 18 top selling family management books. It is full of realistic solutions to common problems that life is sure to throw your way. I know that I have much to accomplish if I am to succeed at my career as Family CEO but I am confident in my success because of the passion that exudes from someone like Kathy. I will continue to refer to this book on a regular basis as a means of reaffirming my career choice.
