Flexible Working Life

As I work from home and have a boisterous four year old to deal with, I jumped at the chance to review this book for Trashionista hoping for lots of ideas and advice. I’m happy to say that I wasn’t let down.

The title and by-line ‘Inspiring Ideas for making money when you have kids’ is tackled from all angles in a practical and realistic manner. The 10 Chapters cover a wide range of themes in the area of flexible working, from ‘Finding ways to work’ and ‘Growing your business’ to a very clear ‘How to guide.’

Unlike lots of other books in this field, Family Friendly Working draws on experiences from parents and carers at every opportunity, so the book is filled with real-life case studies of what people have done, more or less on every page. I did find this inspiring, but as there were more than a hundred parents featured in the book, there was a slight sense of over-kill to it.

That being said, the book is filled with good ideas, tips and advice. It’s a good read and a great starting point for anyone wondering how to achieve that work/life balance.
