The Frantic Woman's Guide to Life: A Year's Worth of Hints, Tips, and Tricks

Rating:
Summary: Finally - a "practical" book for "all" women!
Review: I love this book because there is something in it for everyone--single or married women of all ages, with or without kids. I'm married without kids, but my life can get "frantic" at times, too, and there's so much in this book that I can put to use in my everyday life. The checklists are great because I'm a checklist kind of person. The "Hidden gems" are little practical tips that come in so handy. But I think what I like most about it are the month-by-month reminders--so many ideas that I've never thought of before that I can't wait to try out this year!

Summary: Great Ideas!
Review: Love the reminders in February about how to keep that love light burning, and the furniture primer in April that sets out all the things I feel I'm supposed to know about buying wood furniture, but can never remember. But the neatest tip I've found so far might be the piece on page 280 about how to use department store coupons before the date. I tried it yesterday on some rather pricey bed linens. It really works! Thanks Mary Jo and Judith for organizing all these goodies.

Summary: Simple things I never thought of
Review: Sometimes the ways to simplify things are right in front of you, but we get lazy and forget to think. This book gave me great ideas for my real, everyday life. The issues are real and the solutions are so easy. It just took reading this book to make me get a little more organized by doing very simple things. I would suggest reading this book to any busy women who feels they are streached to thin.

Summary: A Busy Lady
Review: This book helps the busy woman to make every minute count. From cover to cover it is packed with terrific tips and super strategies. Simple to use and very readable, it will be referred to often. And it even has a recipe for caramel corn. How sweet is that?

Summary: Solves the Frantic Woman's Catch-22!
Review: You're too frantic to get your life organized, but if your life were better organized you wouldn't be so frantic. This book has the answer: tons of simple ways to get a handle on your life, divided by month and written in quick-read sections so you're not overwhelmed. Open the book to any page and I promise you'll find at least one AHA! idea that makes so much sense you'll wonder why you hadn't thought of it before. Like bringing a basket with you as you clean from room to room, to collect the items that don't belong there (I used to take the item to its proper room and then get side-tracked straightening up that room). Get this book and keep it somewhere handy so when you have a free second (waiting in the car at the bus stop or maybe in the bathroom) you can pick up another tip to make life a little less franzzled!
