We wanted to call this chapter "The Way We Were," but, since that's a famous song, we figured we'd have to get permission from the writer and we didn't know his address or even his name. Read the first page

I read this back when we bought our first home. It really helped. And it's funny, too. We've moved and share a house with our parents. The whole place needs reorganizing.... I've got to have another copy of this book. I must have given my first copy away to a friend in need. I highly recommend the read and Hey... do it. It works!

This was entertaining reading with real help as the goal. As a homemaker, I have desperately needed steering in the organizational department since I was NOT born organized ! It got me going, kept me interested, and is truly a working plan. If you need to declutter, get your house under control, have a real working housekeeping plan... this is the book for you !!

If you suffer from CHAOS (can't have anyone over syndrome) or IGAD (I've got all day), this is the book for you! Pam Young and Peggy Jones tell the story of their search for organization and how they found it with a 3x5 card file system. Written from the viewpoint of a SHE (Sidetracked Home Executive), they blend humor with down to earth advice on getting your life together. They refer to themselves as reformed slobs and make you feel that if they can do, anyone can. Their system is easy to set up and implement--although for a SHE, it's not always easy to follow. But with the encouragement found in this book, it makes the process fun. I highly recommend it!!
