What’s on My Book Stack : 13 Homekeeping Books to Inspire Organization
Fall is the perfect time of year to do a little cleaning, decluttering, and getting ready for the ‘long winter’. I find that I’m always a little more motivated once fall hits – maybe you are too? The books I’m sharing today are ones some of my favorites and have a little something for everyone. I’m breaking them down a bit so you can see if a book will fit your personality and needs.

Thank you for this list! I have been following your blog for a while and bought your book last spring. Don’t mean to be dramatic, but it has been a life changer!! The book has become my cleaning “bible.” Finally, I feel like am getting control of my house and…sooner or later…I’ll be able to keep it clean and organized without devoting my life to it. The best, best part is how much calmer it has made me feel. Thank you so much!

LOL “cleaning bible” is the perfect way to describe your book! Mine sits in the drawer with my dishcloths for easy reference. I save so much money on cleaning products now because I make my own and they work even better! I’ve recommended your book to many and am still working on my grown up daughter to take the plunge and make her own products.

I probably need these! I’m trying to get more organised in my life! I use my Bullet Journal but it’s useless for things like cleaning, bills etc! haha!

I’m reading “Your Life Can Be Better: using strategies for Adult ADD/ADHD” by Douglas Puryear. I don’t have ADD/ADHD, but he has wonderfully practical ideas for staying on track.

I have requested every book from my library. I have to wait on some of them, but hopefully this will help spur some organizing and some cleaning. Do you have suggestions for tweens who hate to clean? Cleaning & organizing doesn’t come naturally to me, and my daughter has taken after me in that area. I love the feel of a clean house, especially when it’s my house!!
