If you're reading this article you are either interested in being a stay-at-home mom or know someone who is. Ellie Kay's book is hopping off store shelves as the public becomes more and more aware of the good the book can do for them.

Here is what the publisher had to say about the book:

"A recent online survey found that 86% of working moms said they would stay at home if they were financially able to do so. Ellie Kay, "America's Family Financial Expert"- and mom of many, has written (Half) 1/2 Price Living in response to the working mom's desire to stay at home with her children. Kay has taken her financial background and combined it with her real-world mom experience to write a book that is filled with her professional and personal insights.

This book features Kay's trademark wry humor. It also gives a step-by-step plan to downsize from two incomes to one with practical instruction, true life stories, comprehensive charts, worksheets, and a plan to make it work. But this isn't a book about deprivation--it's filled with painless tips to make living on one income a pleasure."The book retails for $12.99 (US), but will save you thousands of dollars and a lifetime of stress. The book focuses on use of coupons and comparison shopping along with shopping at the right times to save money. It also focuses on running a small business from your home to offset your husbands income if the one income isn't quite doing it. While this isn't necessary, Kay gives the reader hundreds of options for making a little cash on the side to supplement the one income.

Kay has been a guest on a number of talk shows and has even made a guest appearance on TLC's Simplify My Life. Her website is filled with money-saving links and personal information about the author herself. You might be interested in learning about the personal life of a woman such as Ellie Kay.
