The book cover

Loogie the Booger Genie, A Very Nasty Cold by N.E. Castle is the 2nd book in the series about Loogie the Booger Genie.

In 14 chapters in the book we travel on an adventure with Charlie who has a genie who’s bottle was stuck in his nose. Loofie was a prince who had been imprisoned as a genie in a bottle by a wizard. To be freed from this curse he has to do good deeds and accumulate sufficient good deeds to be released from the curse.

In this installment Charlie comes down with a cold and it affects Loogie as he comes down with a cold too. Being a genie he could not take cold medicine like Charlie did for his cold to get better. Charlie goes all out to try to make Loogie feel better. He even makes a wish for the wizard Hendrick , who put the prince under such a curse, to appear so that he could brew up a concoction to make Loogie feel better.

Unfortunately this leads to a series of misheard wishes on the part of Loogie resulting in many magical creatures being invited from the magical world over to their world creating a bit of chaos which Charlie struggled to fix.

My thoughts

My 9yr old and I read the book and both of us loved it. I found it very entertaining and I couldn’t put down the book till I finished reading the whole book. It is certainly a storybook which I would recommend for kids to read.

{Book Review} Work Women Want by Jennifer Forest

Dominique Book Review, Parenting and Kids Book Review

Work Women Want Book cover

Work Women Want Work at Home or Go Part-Time by Jennifer Forest is a book which compiles the experiences of 12 mothers. Each of them were interviewed about their journey from being a full time work outside the house mom to a work at home or part time working mom.

It isn’t easy to make the conversion from FTWM to WAHM or even PTWM. There are a lot of decisions which have to be made and not many opportunities available for women who wish to work from home or to work part time. Sometimes one has to create their own opportunities and become an entrepreneur to set the ground work for flexibility needed in their chosen field.

Jennifer interviewed moms who were doing MLM Marketing and Party Planning, crafts and bakes and offering a whole range of services. Some of them were able to create jobs which worked around their kids schedules and flexible enough so that the moms were able to handle both family and job commitments without having to compromise one for the other.

Before you decide on which type of job is suitable for you there are seven key questions which you should ask yourself.

What kind of person are you?
How much time do you have?
How much money do you have?
What skills do you have?
Do you have the Mindset to do this?
Can you be true to yourself?
Are you prepared to learn?

Through answering these questions one will have a clear idea about which type of job would be the most suitable given the current situation one is in. After assessing the situation and knowing what secondary support system there is available would one be able to decide whether to work from home or to go part time.

My thoughts

I found this book an extremely refreshing read as there was even a section about the beauty of blogging and making money online. A lot of hard work is required irregardless of which type of job one chooses to pursue. There is a lot of ground work needed to be done to set up your own network or to grow it to a size where it can be self sustaining.

I love how honest the women who were interviewed were in their responses and there is no doubt that not all careers are suitable for everyone. One needs to find out what they are passionate in and actively pursue it if they are to be able to get the work they want.
