Darling Hill

If you don't feel like reading headlines about the economy during your lunch break today, or if you're sitting in the carpool lane and reading Darling Hill on your BlackBerry while you wait for preschool to let out, hurry to your nearest magazine kiosk and grab the latest copy of Self.  At-home mom/lawyer/writer Bettina Elias Siegel has written My Office Fantasy which talks about at-home motherhood and the emotions (and daydreams!) that come along with a professional identity transition.  

The new book Staying at Home, Staying in the Law also speaks specifically about the emotions surrounding motherhood and the lawyer identity--namely, when lawyers step out of the law to pursue other interests like full-time parenthood.

And, if you're dreaming about shifting gears away from the law to freelance writing, maybe as an alternative while you stay at home to raise children, check out Inkthinker's How to Raise a Child Who Loves to Write for a light chuckle.
