More About the Author

Stephanie O'Dea is a New York Times best selling author, award-winning blogger, and a mom of three.

O'Dea likes shortcuts. A LOT. Her websites and books have reached more than 12 million people from all over the world.

She shared her number one cooking shortcut in 2008 when she made a New Year's Resolution to use her Crock-Pot slow cooker everyday for a year and write about it on the Internet.

Her award-winning blog resulted in two cookbooks: Make it Fast, Cook it Slow and More Make it Fast, Cook it Slow. Due to a family allergy, all of the recipes happen to be completely gluten free.

O'Dea compiled her housekeeping, parenting, and meal planning shortcuts in Totally Together: Shortcuts to an Organized Life.

In this book/organizational guide, O'Dea tackles how to organize a busy household so anyone can have a "tidy and tranquil home in just minutes a day". The format for this book will be a weekly planner (with checklists!) that can begin anytime during the calendar year.

4.0 out of 5 stars Organizing for "Normal" People August 5, 2011

By S. Rittenberg

Format:Spiral-bound

I need help organizing my cleaning and my life. Fly Lady overwhelms me and leaves me feeling like a failure before I complete one day! No so Stephanie and Totally Together. I've found a schedule I can live with plus a system to keep my house clean and myself sane. I love that Stephanie understands that life happens and you're not always going to get to everything everyday. Her system is flawless in that it allows for that, it's easy to pick up, keep going and keep making good choices to make life easier. I really recommend the Totally Together system.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Have! September 8, 2011

By kdh135

Format:Spiral-bound|Amazon Verified Purchase

I have found Stephanie's crockpot cookbooks especially helpful and to be signficant time savers, so I had high expectations for her latest work. Thankfully, she delivered! The book takes the overwhelming tasks of keeping a household organized & breaks down the tasks by week. I feel like I can now manage the household tasks now that someone else has told me which ones to do & when. I highly recommend this book and know that as the weeks pass, my book is going to become tattered from all of the use!

I just have to say I received my copy the 3rd of August and have been striving to apply the daily 7 and what a huge help just that has been so you can imagine how great the rest of this is!
Thanks Stephanie and keep going with this.
