5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Christian perspective on maintaining a home, April 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Emilie Barnes' 15 Minute Home and Family Organizer (Hardcover)

This book gives practical advise not only on the mechanics of getting the home organized but how to direct your attitude to doing these things cheerfully. As a pack rat this book helped me to get it together. DON'T PUT IT DOWN, PUT IT AWAY!

If you implement 1/2 of the concepts your husband will be happy to come home to a house with a system of getting things done. Your children will have wonderful memories and have a step up on accomplishing the same things in their homes later in life.

The Holiday section of the book will help you to make life a celebration. The countdowns to Thanksgiving and Christmas are invaluable.

Fearing it was just another "do it my way or else" organization book - I was thrilled to read so many practical tips & hints for reducing clutter and finding purpose to my everyday living. Not only that, but the format is written in small pieces - short chapters - so it is easy to manage in my busy life. I have already applied many different suggestions and directions she offers and have found a little more peace in our home & family! I highly recommend this for busy women - wives, moms, career - for its ease of use and practical applications.

1.0 out of 5 stars Organizing what?, May 17, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Emilie Barnes' 15 Minute Home and Family Organizer (Hardcover)

I was very disappointed when I received this book. I had been looking forward to a book to help me improve my housekeeping and organization skills at home. What I received was a guide on how to add Christian values and traditions into the family. Every chapter is headed with Bible quotes and the section on Family Organization really only deals with Christian holidays and traditions. Very nice, perhaps, but not what I was looking for.
