The things that make me laugh, weep, and live.
By Kathy Peel -- A Review

This is one of the few books I'm reading right now and I highly recommend you to read it with highlighter in hand!

It's a non-fiction book about how to get your household managed. I have learned countless amazing tips and it has completely inspired my spring cleaning. I'm decluttering my entire home right now. I'm using Kathy's tips in every area of my home and WOW is my home getting efficient. I'm seeing more time carved out for myself too. I'd never put all my sheets for one set into one of the pillowcases before -- it had just never crossed my mind -- but you can bet I am now.

It may sound silly to you, I know, but I'm always looking for efficiency. (Efficiency is, after all, an adapted form of laziness.) It's got tips on how to declutter, how to shop, how to set up a home office, get kids organized, get the most usage out of clothing, and so many insane little details.

Luckily, I'm a savant when it comes to memorizing tiny details and facts. I don't know why. (Geology three years ago -- I still remember several of the foraminifera and myriad facts about the grand canyon, the glacial systems, rock formations -- I'm like trivial pursuit.) So this really is useful to me. But even if you don't memorize facts when you read/highlight them, if you have the book you can easily go from area to area and revamp the part you need.

If you have a college/high school grad, I'd highly recommend this book for teaching them how to take care of every aspect of a home. (If they will read. I know how that is.)

If you've been looking for an end-all be-all on caring for a home guide, this is it my friend. This woman has done more housework homework than I imagined necessary. Kudos to her.Link
