Homekeeping book?

Vicki_T · 06-22-2014, 09:42 AM

I'm *sure* I've seen a book recommended on here, possibly a Christian book, with housekeeping schedules and things in it for people like me who struggle with these things. But I can't remember what it was called and now I can't even find any threads about it. Can anyone help me please?

The House that Cleans Itself?

Following. I do better when I follow some sort of schedule, but haven't found one that really fits me yet, and have been lacking motivation lately.

There are a bunch of options, really.
Sidetracked Home Executives, for instance, for a cardfile version.
Flylady, for a more routine-based version.
Motivated Moms.
There are probably lots of others. Any of these the one you were thinking of?

I need something for unmotivated people

I need to re-read it. It made a massive difference the first time around

then I had to move things around in my house and broke it.

I've just ordered it, so I'm glad to hear that it worked!

I tried FlyLady years ago but then drifted off....might have to start this up again.

Thanks for all the suggestions
