Opening “The Working Woman’s Guide to Balancing Career, House and Spouse” led to the most enjoyable plane ride I can remember! I chuckled, laughed out loud, commisserated and felt I had a friend and soul-mate in Mimi O’Bara. I didn’t care that I was not offered anything worthy of eating. I didn’t care who was sitting next to me, invading my space. Upon landing, a man sitting across the aisle from me, tapped my shoulder and asked what I was reading that had entertained me so completely for the last few hours. I looked at him, summing up that he fit the description of every scenario described in the book, and told him it was really nothing he would enjoy. He looked a bit hurt and left out, which only made me love my reading diversion even more!
I have read excerpts from this book to friends at parties, given it as gifts to girlfriends coast to coast, office compatriots and relatives. To realize I am not alone out there in the corporate world of men, kids, balancing it all and keeping a smile on my face, was like breathing for the first time in a long time.
I feel that I have a friend in Mimi O’Bara. I hope she is encouraged to continue writing. I’m sure there’s more stories to tell. Her humor, insight and reality keeps me smiling!

Not only is this book hysterical but I want to thank Mimi O’Bara for writing the truth about balancing a career, kids, house and spouse so I can pass it on to my daughter. Although she is hopefully many years from marching down the aisle, it doesn’t hurt to have some knowledge of the ups and downs so they can slowly begin to take affect. I would say it is right up there with the discussion about the birds and the bees. Thank you Mimi for your honesty and humor.

This book is fantastic for people of all ages and genders. I bought this book for my mother and she read it within a week and liked it so much she bought 12 copies for her friends. This book describes the trials and tribulations a working woman has to go through while trying to balance her children, her job, her husband and her house. If you are looking for a comedic masterpiece for either your mom, your wife or even your girlfriend this book is perfect.
I was wondering why my mother was laughing so hard and I picked it up and read it. Even I thought it was hilarious, a 24 year old law student. Buy this book if you are in for a bucket of laughs!

Mimi O’Bara gives new meaning to multi-tasking. I recognize her family! This book hits home and is a must read for women who think the balls in the air are hitting them on their heads too often. Order two; one for you and one as a gift to give your career colleague who is also super mom and adoring wife and thinks no one understands her plight. Nothing takes the sting out of a bad day better than a good laugh. Mimi O’Bara provides more humor than the Comedy Channel. Kick off those heels and give yourself a fun break. This book made me laugh more than I can explain.
