Three Steps to Organizing Your Closet - My New Book!

    
I'm happy to announce that I've written another small book for the organizationally overwhelmed: Three Steps to Organizing Your Closet - a step-by-step guide to a functional and efficient closet.  Included are hints for your linen closets and resources for maximizing closet storage.

It is available exclusively through Amazon's Kindle. If you're a member of Amazon Prime, you can read it for free. Otherwise it's $2.99. But ... on March 11, 18, 25 and April 1 and 22 non-Prime Kindle readers can get it for free as part of a Kindle promotion. 

As you may know, most of my other books in the 1-2-3 ... Get Organized series are available on Kindle as well. If you prefer print books, they are available at my website.

Spring is coming! Time to get organized. J

Just in Time for Get Organized Month - More of My Books on Kindle!

   
Happy New Year! I wish you many blessings and exciting opportunities in 2012!

Our family has had a wonderful time together over the holidays. Our daughter Comfort and her husband Steve put a bid on a house during this time. Sadly, our daughter Sara is leaving us tomorrow.  But I guess we all need to get on with our lives. Couldn't have asked for a sweeter time as a family. 

I'm excited for 2012, as I have some new adventures going on. As I mentioned in an earlier blog, my Three Steps to Decluttering is on Kindle. Well, I've been busy ...

I now have five books on Kindle:
Three Steps to Decluttering
Three Steps to Organizing Your Office
Three Steps to Organizing Your Kitchen
Three Steps to Organizing Your Child's Room
Three Steps to Time Management for the  Stay-at-Home Mom

I'm hoping to put the rest of my books on Kindle in the next week or so. These were written for the organizationally overwhelmed. Pretty appropriate for Get Organized month, don't you think? :)  We're all kind of ready to get life back under control after the holidays. 

I'll be posting more ideas on getting organized in the new year this month.

Three Steps to Decluttering is on Kindle!

    
I'm happy to announce that my book Three Steps to Decluttering is now available on Kindle! 

As always, it is still available in print and as a download on 1-2-3 ... Get Organized. Happy decluttering!

Air Times for "5 Under $50" Segments on Channel 3

Today I taped four 45-second segments promoting "5 Under $50" - a program about cooking economical meals sponsored by Channel 3 in Cleveland and www.Cleveland.MomsLikeMe.com. I selected the menus, cooked four of them, and the other one will be cooked live on the show. Most of the recipes came from my Hassle Free Dinners, a year's worth of dinner menus, instructions, and grocery lists.

One segment will be aired each 30 minutes from 5 to 7 am Thursday morning. I simply describe each meal and why it's interesting. You will be able to find the recipes at www.Cleveland.MomsLikeMe.com. I'll record the program, and if I'm not too dorky, I'll consider putting a segment or two here on the blog. :)

It was fascinating seeing Channel 3's beautiful headquarters overlooking Lake Erie. And I so enjoyed working with the gracious and encouraging Jacquie Chakirelis, co-host of Family Matters Radio and site manager for Cleveland Moms Like Me!

Thanks so much for your kind emails and comments!

If you're inspired to save money by planning meals and cooking at home, Three Steps to Planning Dinner is now available as an eworkbook in addition to being a printed workbook. Hassle Free Dinners is available as a CD or downloadable PDF.
