My Take:

Who doesn't struggle with keeping up with all involved in keeping an organized, clean, and happy home? I personally struggle with all the paperwork that stockpiles weekly. This includes school information, bills, everyday mail, my favorite magazines and recipes. One of my downfalls is seeing something in a magazine or online that I want to save for (maybe) future use. I'm old-school and like an actual hard-copy available, so needless to say this adds to my clutter.

I also have a couple good points (redeeming myself).. I need to clean my kitchen every evening and do general pickup of our home. I'm not a happy person if I wake up and start my day with a mess. I also actually like doing laundry, and this definitely helps out with three girls in sports.

Whether we are blessed with great habits from the get-go or are in need of a jump start, this "tool" will optimize our time and cleaning. Don't let that scare you! Both Sandra and Marsha provide us with clutter buster tips, and mild daily adjustments that empower!

One of the entries regarding cleaning the garage immediately caught my eye. This is a huge obstacle facing our family and needs to be dealt with soon. Keywords to remember.. Consistent and Organized. I know we'll accomplish this!

I luv how the Authors give us a practical approach that actually works and is something we can stick with. Here's to a Beautiful Home!
