This book covers all the bases; I implemented the Family Notebook idea -- it's terrific! It helped me greatly, and now I'm ready to pass it on.

Better than your average home organization book.
I read many home organization books and this one is in my top 5 favorites. The author doesn't preach and admits to IWAH (Items Without A Home) of her own. There are some very good cleaning tips in the book, but the focus is more on getting to the root of the dirt in our homes and changing what you can. While I'm not willing to change what I cook to keep my kitchen cleaner, it's an example of the type of thinking presented in this book.
