¸  Outline monthly and seasonal goals and strategies

From the Publisher
Here's another winner from Kathy Peel. She's got tons of great ideas from decluttering to cleaning, from organizing child care to throwing great, stress-free parties! There's a comprehensive index in the back, and a complete table of contents in the front, so this one's terrific to keep around for a reference!
