Product Description
Everyone needs a home organizer and this one has a place to record everything you need to know about your home. Avoid the "Where'd I put that headache?" If you have ever purchased anything in the wrong size for your home, mixed the wrong color paint, lost a receipt, or made more than one trip back and forth to the store because you have the wrong measurements, then this is the book to use!

With the Sidekick you'll always know where and when you bought it, and how much you paid for it and the receipt is right there in the appropriate room section! You'll wish you had this book years ago, but it is never too late. Even if you're buying something as simple as a new pillow for your couch, you'll have the colors of the surrounding room with you - maybe even a picture - and you won't be mistaken!

The easy to carry Sidekick includes:
*18 tabbed sections; one for every room, including Decks & Porches, Laundry, and Heating and Cooling plus a blank section to use as you like.
*Clear, resealable pockets to hold receipts, fabric samples, paint colors, anything you need - and they won't fall out.
*Appliance and furniture purchase records section for each room.
*Great tips and ideas throughout the book.
*Website resources and directory.
*Insurance property checklist for entire home.
*Graph pages for each room.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do Away With All Your Lists!, March 15, 2004

By	Joanne Beaudette (Huron, SD United States) - See all my reviews

This home reference book is the best purchase I've made for years. As a homeowner who does most of the renovating/decorating of my own home and also as a rental property owner who does most of the work myself this book has been a God-send. I used to have so many lists that when it came time to buy something I could never find the right list or the right measurement. Now it's all in the Sidekick, a book that's easy to carry into the stores with me. I keep it handy at all times. When I work on the rental properties I have it with me so that I can record measurements, draw sketches of plans etc. I have two books right now and plan on buying a couple more so that it can accomodate the number of properties I own/manage. Thank you Diane for a great idea and a great book. This book should be in every home.

4.0 out of 5 stars A must for every homeowner!, March 13, 2004

By A Customer

This is the perfect system for any home owner. We've used the Sidekick with a new home as we were decorating - -it saved me from constant frustration and headache, trying to remember sizes, colors, etc. I left a completed Sidekick for the buyers of our home - - now we're starting again - and I am definitely using the Sidekick again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best home organizer I've seen, June 9, 2005

By	Fixer-upper (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews

This organizer has something all the others are missing - actually, many things. My favorite is all the clear pockets to hold samples and receipts. They reseal so even when I drop the book, nothing falls out. My wife does much of the entries, but I use it all the time. We never go shopping without it in our car. It has saved me many trips back home to check dimensions and colors. We are going to give these as housewarming gifts.
