Introducing…..

“Worth More Than Rubies: The Value of a Work At Home Mom” is all about women, just like you, who want to be home for their families, while still contributing to the household income.

Hi, I’m Kathie M. Thomas and I’ve been working at home for over 14 years. In that time I have been able to watch my five daughters grow into young women whilst also running a full time business at home. It is a decision I’ve never regretted and I know it will be the same for you too!

This book will inspire you and give you ideas to return home to work and the gifts below should help you on your way with various aspects of your business.

What you will learn in Worth More Than Rubies: The Value of a Work At Home Mom:

• The value of women working at home and being present for their families.

• The benefits both children and spouses receive from a mother home fulltime.

• Cost savings from being at home.

• Examples of connections you can make outside of the home so you don’t feel all alone.

• A list of 64 different types of businesses that you can operate from home, … and much much more!
