Confessions of an Organized Homemaker

Eureka!

Feeling desperate and so very frustrated, I found this book at my local library. I've been homeschooling for thirteen years and with seven children from kindergarten to high school, housework was a constant challenge. I was feeling so inadequate and yet I didn't want to surrender and believe there was no way I could keep my house under control.

Most homeschoolers recognize that homeschooling is a full-time job and when you throw in laundry, meal preparation and just picking up, it can be so overwhelming. I tried, but I just couldn't keep up with the mess that was my house. I found myself picking up, moving things from one room to another, but rarely getting my house truly clean. It was an endless cycle of straightening, doing the same work over and over as I tried to organize the mess. It was so frustrating and my house wasn't really getting clean. I knew my husband was disappointed with the state of our house but I didn't know what to do. I felt like a hamster on a wheel.

Thanks to "Confessions of an Organized Homemaker" by Deniece Schofield I have a plan I can follow. I started using the techniques I learned in the book three weeks ago, and even though we started school after the first week, I am getting my house under control. My kitchen is clean; not just straightened, but truly clean and organized. Everything has a designated place. It's like my house had a makeover by an organizational expert. I love the book so much that I bought the book and two others by the same author. I plan to use them with my girls to teach them how to manage a house. If you're overwhelmed trying to homeschool and keep your house and schedule under control, I highly recommend this book.

You'll have a EUREKA moment, too!
