Customer Reviews

simply life-changing

I bought this book at a homeschool conference about 15 years ago. It literally changed my life. I have fond memories of sitting down at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee and my "Bonnie" book. Bonnie became like a friend, offering great advice and encouragement. Her writing style is warm and uplifting. She made me want to succeed at organizing my home. I learned how to organize my kitchen cabinets, and ever since my mom has recommended ME to organize the kitchen when someone in the family moves! And I was the family "messy!" Her suggestion on implementing Minimum Maintenance made the difference for me in keeping my house clean and presentable. I highly recommend this book for anyone who struggles as I did with managing all the STUFF/CHORES in her home.

Wonderfully Helpful for the Disorganised Homemaker

I just loved this book. I would give it ten stars if I could. It was so full of down to earth and helpful advice and very entertaining to read. There were hints on clutter clearing and how to tackle a home that has got a bit out of control. Lists of daily jobs and what Bonnie calls minimum maintenance were a great help. If you find it hard to keep on top of the house and it seems forever in a cluttered mess (like mine) this is the book for you.

It'll Change Your Life

I first read this book about fifteen years ago, and it had such an impact, I re-read it about once a year. It's almost time to buy one that's not so dog-eared. Bonnie's way of doing things are down-to-earth and fit into real life. Her knack for organizing things shows in the way she has organized her thoughts and methods. This book will make a difference in your life.

Wonderful!

Bonnie's books are all great! This was the first one I ever read and it changed how I did things around the house. I got so organized that I eventually wrote my own book - Marnie's Kitchen Shortcuts. Thanks, Bonnie, for the excellent tips and for the help with the kids, too (401 Ways to Get Your Kids to Work at Home)!
