Muwahh!
My mommy wakes me up with a hug and a kiss. Its time to get up and start my day. My mommy helps me get dressed and then we head downstairs for
breakfast. Pancakes and blueberries, please! She sings me funny songs and dances around the kitchen while I eat.
Vrooom!
Daddy drives me to school. I have a blast at my school. We play outside and I climb all over the jungle gym. We read stories,
do art projects and play, play, play. I miss my mommy and daddy while I am at school, but I am learning so many
interesting things and making lots of friends. Play is my work.
Yaya!
My school day is wrapping up and I am so excited to see my parents. I have one more snack and finish playing with the toys. Mommy walks
into my classroom and I run up to her with open arms for the world’s biggest hug.
Shhhh!
While I am sleeping and dreaming away, my mommy and daddy are still bustling about. Daddy works on the dishes and mows the lawn. Mommy throws in a load of laundry
and pays bills online. Daddy makes dinner for the two of them and they get some time together to relax.
Xoxo & ha aaa ha!
My mommy and daddy work hard at their jobs and around our house to make a beautiful life for our family. I am so proud of them and hope to have a career and family some day, too.
Because of their hard work our home is overflowing with love and laughter.

About the Book
Early in the morning, Mommy wakes her little one to get ready for school. Mornings are always cheerful occasions around their house, and then, it’s off to work. Both Mommy and Daddy have serious jobs, striving to build their careers while supporting the family. At the end of the day, school is over and fun time begins.
Nights are spent playing with Mommy and Daddy and taking a bath before bed. Even when the child sleeps, the parents work to take care of their lovely home before relaxing together. The weekends are the best time for play, because no one has to go to work. The weekend is the time for family entertainment, whether it’s watching football or doing yoga.
Mommy and Daddy work very hard to make a beautiful life for their family. They share the workload—at the office and at home—and, because of this, their home overflows with love and laughter. Just like the song says, “She works hard for the money,” but working moms can balance work, fun, and the joy of being a parent.
