Slob Proof: Real-Life Design Solutions

March 1, 2010 by Jennifer

slobproofOne of the lovely byproducts of being a bookworm is that you can find out anything that you need to know. You can get help in the kitchen, help with disciplining your children, strengthening your marriage, growing a garden, or planning a trip.

Anything — there for you to discover within the pages of a book!

Unfortunately, for me, another not-so-lovely effect is letting some things go because of all that time spent reading. You know, some things like housekeeping, laundry and basic hygiene.

I jest — sort of. But seriously, I want my home to be nice and inviting, but I’ve never gone for the stuff high-class look that some designers seem so fond of. It just doesn’t seem practical. Did I mention that I have two kids and a dog and lots of stuff, and I don’t have time to walk around after them with a broom and feather duster 24 hours a day?

If this sounds like the way you live, please click through to 5 Minutes for Mom to read my full review and enter the giveaway of Slob Proof: Real-Life Design Solutions.
