"Working at home isn't something that everyone could do," according to Thomas, “but for those who have excellent office skills and need to be home for children or aged parents, it's an ideal way to keep those skills and still have an income.”
In addition to running her own successful business, Thomas is also an author who recently released her first book, "Worth More Than Rubies: The Value of a Work At Home Mum." She describes the book as a way to further encourage and assist women worldwide in their desire to return home.
