Home Management K.I.T.

For most of us Moms who have a thousand-and-one things to do at home but can't seem to find sufficient time to do these tasks well, please get a copy of Frannie Daez's book, "Keep It Together".

I find the book to be well-written, nicely printed, and full of practical tips on home management. There are many good lists in the book that seem to streamline the complex responsibilities of running the household. I can identify with the management cycle, especially the part on mission-visioning, and roles and goals creation. I liked too how she applied the Japanese 5-S philosophy to her own experiences in home management. Try reading the book for the Househelper's Guide--with the difficulty in getting and keeping maids nowadays, the tips given are invaluable and so practical.
