Summary: Practical Help for Packrats
Review: As a single parent, I thought I knew every time saving organization trick in the book -- but not every one in THIS book! I found the segments on space organization (closets, bedrooms) particularly helpful, since I have limited space and tend to be a packrat. What I loved best about the book, though, is the non-judgemental tone. I half expected to feel guilty about all of the things I HAVEN'T done, but Tinglof's wit and style immediately put those fears to rest. Even better, the ability to choose between "Major Tune-Ups" and "Quick Fixes" allows me to tailor her suggestions to my own life and ever-changing circumstances. Bravo!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This book's a good read and a terrific resource.
Review: I found this book to be very well organized; a plus for a book with this title. There are many good ideas; I especially like the personal notes shared by parents. I plan to hold on to this book as a resource, too, for when I move, if I have more children, and if I ever travel with little ones again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: thank you ms. tinglof!
Review: I have read every organizing book on this planet. All of them had good ideas but The Organized Parent is much better suited to my needs. I like that it is divided up into sections identifying different areas of my home and my life (I especially liked the sections on finances and travel). This format doesn't overwhelm me. I can go to any section i need help with and pick and choose from the ideas listed there. After reading other organizing books, i feel defeated when I can't live up to the author's standards! Then I add the book to the clutter pile! Ms. Tinglof's book shares a lot of common sense, parent experiences and humor.

I highly recommend this book to everyone - but especially fellow clutter-holics.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A parenting bible.
Review: I should have read this book sooner!!!! From A to Z this book will help you budget your time better and be more efficient. Thus giving you more time for your family and yourself. The suggestions and tips are very helpful.

A great reference book to keep on the shelf to pick up again and again.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Basic at best
Review: I was rather disappointed in this book. The tips are mostly quite basic (although a handy reference if you don't have a similar book) - store things where you use them, make the kids help clean up. I didn't feel that it lived up to its title of 'the organized *parent*' but was more of a general organizing book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My Review
Review: This was a great book! As a busy mom with three kids, I need all of the organizational tips I can get! I think the kitchen tips and meal preparation tips were the most helpful!
