Summary: Strange book....
Review: I've read several household organization books and although this one is funny, there are better ones out there. (check out "confessions of an organized homemaker".) The organizational advice essentially revolves around the use of index cards and motivational games to get your family to pick up after themselves. While these are good ideas, the last couple of chapters go off course and delve into the authors personal lives and marital woes. A few lengthy, bad poems by one of the authors are thrown in as well. Buy something else.

Summary: Reading this book is one of the BEST things I've ever done!
Review: In addition to being funny, light, and easy to read, reading this book was a life-changing experience for me. Although it's written for all sidetracked people, I recommend it also for women with ADD (attention deficit disorder).

Summary: What century is it?
Review: Index cards to organize household chores? You gotta be kidding! What century is this? I don't need to write down "Change kitty litter". I KNOW when that needs to be done! Plan 2 hours on one day a week for "desk day" (i.e. pay bills, clip coupons)? Please.... I have to keep on top of it everyday, or I will spend 10 hours on it one day a week! And the droning on and on of poems and family problems. I got ZERO out of this book. You will, too.

Summary: One of the classics
Review: Okay, obviously some of the people writing reviews here are not the kind of people it was written for. ("why would I need a card to tell me when to change the kitty litter?) We all know that lots of people in the world cannot even imagine that some people struggle with the simple routines of life. They think that people with messy houses just don't care. Really, even those of us who struggle sometimes can't understand why we can't manage those things that seem so simple for other people. Well, if you are the kind of person who can't understand why someone would need a reminder to make up the bed, do laundry, etc. -- you just won't get this book. If you are the kind of person who hates living in chaos but can't figure out how to get out of it, you just might love this book. Also, I highly recommend Sink Reflections and The Messies Manual.

Summary: I couldn't put it down!
Review: Once I saw this book I couldn't put it down. I felt as if they were peeking into my home and writing about me! After reading many other home organization books and feeling like an utter failure I finally realized that I didn't fail, the system failed. Pam and Peggys book certainly helped me to see that. Their system showed me step by step how to become organized in a way that I understand and they did it without being strict and serious. The humor in this book kept me laughing as I imagined myself in similar situations. I am well on my way to having my home become a warm and welcoming place, my familys haven from the world.
