Very inspiring and encouraging
Kathy has a wonderful writing style which begs you to keep on reading. Her suggestions are 'doable' and inspire you to get started immediately. For stay-at-home Moms, Kathy adds to your self-esteem. As a working Mom, whose been 'on the other side,' it made me feel a bit guilty (she's got a book for working moms too, though!) I especially love how Kathy doesn't claim Martha Stewartitis: she ...

Wow I'm glad I got this book
I'm psyched for summer. I'm a SAHM and just read this tonight (I did do a lot of skimming as far as the actual crafts and stuff but read all the introductory text in each section). I have no idea why someone would say this is geared toward working moms. There is a part in the beginning saying how to ADAPT it to working moms, but most if it deals with what to do with your kids on a ...

Really enjoyed this book
I had a "lightbulb moment" when I read this book, specifically the part about some of us being right-brained, and some left. I always just assumed I should be (would be) organized, because I am Type A. But that's really not how I'm wired...not what "fills me up"...I'd much rather paint a wall or make a scrapbook than organize a closet. A lot of this you've heard before, but I think the ...

Things I never thought to do (or never knew how)
I just got this book a few days ago, and have been reading it in my spare time, but already I've organized the office, my daughter's closet, and the kitchen cupboards with Kathy Peel's advice. This book not only gives great tips and advice, but gets you motivated to keep a clean, organized and orderly home. I'm only in the 4th or 5th chapter so far, and have gotten so many great ideas for ...

Kathy Peel fans (and others) gotta have this book!
If you've read Kathy's books, you know they are based on her Family Manager "system" she created over 10 years ago. If you've hesitated to purchase her recent books thinking they're all the same info., don't hesitate anymore! This is the book I've been waiting for by Kathy. It is organized by the 7 departments she teaches about, and is an excellent reference. It has a great index for quick finds, ...

Thomas Nelson, 1994

Great book!
This book has a wide variety of suggestions, from practical, to giving to putting in that extra effort. No one will use all the suggestions, but there's plenty of good ones for anyone. (My favorite is dancing with your partner with just the Christmas lights on to White Christmas). I review this book at the beginning of every season & some have become things integrated into our traditions. ...

Must reading for those wanting to do more with their lives.
I have to agree with Marc from Pennsylvania below. This is one of the most important books ever written for Christians--it deserves a much wider reputation than it has thus far. In 1997, I turned 40. My father had just lost his final battle with cancer, and I was questioning my career direction. I'd read Kathy Peel's "Do Plastic Surgeons Take Visa?" and loved how she combined humor with ...

Free Up Time and Money
I never seemed to have enough time or money. This book showed me how to prioritize and get more done in less time. "SIMPLE MONEY SOLUTIONS," by Nancy Lloyd, also a Family Circle columnist, showed me how to stretch my money with original ways not just to pinch pennies, but to pinch dollars! It will work for you too.

You may be the boss, but are you the Family Manager?
It's so easy to feel like we stay-at-home moms do so little in the world. Everyone else has titles at their job: "assistant product developer", "marketing coordinator", "research and design engineer". We're simply "Mom". And often as we sit around in our jeans with banana mash stuck on them juggling a baby and figuring out when we need to leave to pick up our older ones from school, we wonder ...
