Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Keeley, the founder of a line of organic baby spa products and a home-schooling mother of six children, gently urges harried women to organize their homes and lives through simple steps designed to complement their domestic personalities. A quiz helps them determine their type first: the Master Mind, whose home is her "laboratory"; the Creative Spirit, whose home is her "stage"; the Mother Hen, whose home is her "feathered nest"; and the Starry-Eyed Dreamer, whose home is her "dream world." When it comes to cleaning, for example, Keeley offers "prescriptions" for all types: e.g., Master Minds, who are already good at cleaning, should remember not to sweat a little clutter, while Creative Spirits should alternate between different cleaning techniques to keep from getting bored. Keeley delivers plenty of solid advice, much of it commonsensical but all of it useful. It’s too bad that the text wasn’t trimmed down, though: were this book distilled to half its size, it might have been twice as good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Humor Meets Practicality in "Hannah's Art of Home", January 9, 2005
By Laura G. Tyson (College Station, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you're like me, you have walked over that pile of dirty clothes behind your bedroom door (because there is no room for them in your closet) one too many times. This book offered the help I needed to get my living space in working order and so much more! Like a life-long friend, Keeley laughs you through a home overhaul....with a twist! By incorporating a little psychology (through a quick quiz)she offers helpful hints for your unique personality. Even if you actually have a place in your closet for your dirty clothes this book offers a great read, lots of understanding smiles and plenty of "laugh out loud" moments.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great motivator, December 27, 2004
By H. S. Higgenbottom (North Augusta SC USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I loved this book. Keeley manages to get me excited about something that I absolutely loathe...cleaning and organizing my house! There is a test you take at the beginning of the book and that test determines your personality (me? I was the starry eyed dreamer). Then at the end of each of her chapters, she has homework for each personality. My favorite was her chapter on AS IS organizing and the ten minute tidy. If you have a problem keeping your home under control or if you just want to be better organized I would strongly suggest buying this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Expressing yourself through homemaking, June 14, 2005
This book looks at homemaking with new eyes. Rather than approaching it as a chore, Hannah Keeley uses her background in Psychology and her love of homemaking to inspire and organize the daily household routines to compliment your personality. She focuses on how your personality affects your home environment and takes homemaking to a realistic, fun, and energetic place. Take a moment to determine your homemaking personality and see how to find time to enjoy the rest of your life.
