Almost everyone could use some de-cluttering in their lives, especially once you have kids. On any given day, the house might look like a tornado swept through it. Do you want to get organized, but not spend hours reading about “how-to’s”? This little book is packed with hundreds of tips for you and your kids to de-clutter your environment. The book is divided into three sections. “Getting Started” starts, not in the attic or the basement, but with your mindset – trying to change it from the “pack-rat” “I’ll use this someday” “someday I might...” person to the person that says “If I’m not using this now, somebody else could be.” It also shows you how to set limits and rules for your house to prevent clutter from getting a handhold because, as we all know, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” The first five chapters focus on your mindset, baby days, school days, teen clutter, and tips for your whole family on de-cluttering. The second section, “One Area at a Time,” goes room by room, organizing and straightening. The bedrooms, bathrooms, play areas, kitchen and dining rooms, cars, and more will be targeted and conquered. The third section “Outside Interests (and the Stuff They Spawn)” shows you how to hang onto important mementos without keeping everything, neatly store arts and crafts supplies, and organize your sport and hobby stuff. The book is easy to use and well organized (as you would expect from a book about organization). It is quick to point out that you don’t have to spend a bundle on storage tubs and bins, rather there are some common everyday items that can be utilized. Neither are you on your own – this book will show you how to organize and motivate your kids, making it easy for them to organize their own things. Don’t be a slave to clutter any longer – take control over your house! Paperback, 256 pages. ~ Megan
