The movie “Home Alone” does not even begin to explain my life as I was left home alone with five teenage daughters, while my husband worked out of town one particular week.Like the movie, I wished robbers would have come and stolen all of my daughters' belongings out of the small, two bedroom house that we were renting – at least until we found a bigger place.Alas, no robbers came, so I had to save my sanity and take it upon myself to get my home organized.After almost getting arrested over laundry (seriously!) and a long week full of Bloody Mary’s, I WON!I don’t care if you have one child; are childless or have thirteen or more children, this story, based on a true life situation, will help you to get your life in order - as told through my adventurous single week of simple, basic and quick solutions that I created to organize my own family.Seem unlikely? Come along for the ride and I'll prove that these solutions work (and maybe even put a smile on your face and some money in your pockets along the way!)...
The title is misleading. I was expecting a thorough step by step guide to cleaning, decluttering, and organizing the home. What I found was a delightful, funny short story with tidbits of decluttering information and motivation to get the job done.
I was expecting more of a how to do it type book. This was a funny story about a woman with a husband and five daughters in a two bedroom house. Loved that she did some day drinking, too! lol. A very quick read that had me laughing out loud.
