This Month’s Topic: Get Organized! Ever feel like you’re slowly sinking in a quicksand pool made of toys, clothes, dishes, papers, pets, kids’ schoolwork, etc., etc.? Ever feel like it’ll never get better and you’ll never get it organized? Or if you do get it organized, ever wonder how it could possibly get so bad again so quickly? If you answered yes to any of these questions, congratulations – you’re one of millions of struggling parents going through the exact same thing!!
Single parent Abby Golman is also in this elite group of struggling parents, and through trial and error she has come up with some quick, easy, and surprisingly long-lasting solutions to the chaos. Go from cluttered chaos to peacefully productive.
