Be Your Best, The Family Manager's Guide to Personal Success

I was skeptical at first.I am a Stay at Home Mom and so Kathy Peel's other books did not apply. This one is for all Moms. It addresses "burn-out" and what and how to do about it. Loved it so much, I am buying one for my best friend.

Free Up Time and Money

I never seemed to have enough time or money. This book showed me how to prioritize and get more done in less time."SIMPLE MONEY SOLUTIONS," by Nancy Lloyd, also a Family Circle columnist, showed me how to stretch my money with original ways not just to pinch pennies, but to pinch dollars! It will work for you too.

Solving Time and Money Robbers the Family Circle Way

Family Circle's Kathy Peel did a great job (as always) showing us how to solve the time shortage in our busy lives. This book is sure helping here! But my other time bandit was the energy and money I was wasting because my financial life wasn't in order. To solve the money issues I got a book from another Family Circle columnist, Nancy Lloyd. Her book, "SIMPLE MONEY SOLUTIONS: 10 Ways You Can Stop Feeling Overwhelmed By Money and Start Making It Work For You" has come to my rescue. Stop wasting time or money. Get both books!

Great book again!

Thanks Kathy for your timely tips, inspiration, and perspiration. You really know how to help me in my every day life.

Peel Does It Again

Kathy Peel's previous books did a great deal to help me with thinking about myself as someone who's tasks in the home are valuable. Her new books helps me understand that I have to value myself first in order to function as a super family manager. She reminds us that she can't simply wave her wand over us to make us successful home managers, but that we can take steps in order to acheive this ourselves. For me the most helpful chapter is "Finding Time for You" -- I have spent the better part of year "working" on projects only to sit down this past weekend and realize that I haven't really done anything. She gives you bunches of tricks to make your life work better for you. Another great feature of this book is "The Bottom Line" -- for those of us who simply don't have enought time to read her thorough and detailed chapters, she summarizes her main points. The thing about this book is that it packages things that on some level we all know, and presents them so that we don't feel stupid when it seems new. Kathy Peel is an absolute inspiration -- and human to boot. I would rather emulate her than the know-it-all from the Northeast any day.
