This is a bibliography that I put together for a class on at-home parenting. While it is a work in progress, it might be of use to someone. I welcome any additions. Obviously, there are big gaps. I didn't include any parenting books per se, or anything on low-cost cookery, because there are other classes available in our community that handle those in-depth. What I *did* try to touch in this bibliography was lifestyle issues, stuff to do with kids, time and household management, saving money, and workplace re- entry. Hopefully they will be a supplement to the existing FAQs on Parenting Books and At-home Parenting. Colleen K.
