Useful in getting my act together with meals as it was in cleaning my home was from their other book.

Once again, I enjoyed the vulnerability and insights into these ladies lives through this book and I am interested in adapting the system they’ve outlined. However, this book in comparison with the first S.H.E manual really delves into some 70s diet culture that was not fun to read and for that reason I wouldn’t keep a copy in my house. Some truly sweet insights into parenting and personal growth of the two authors, and of course a fascinating observation of gender roles in their community but unfortunately I couldn’t enjoy it as much as the original and I found that the system outlined was a bit more dated and specific to elements of life no longer relevant to me so it will need to be more heavily adapted.

I changed my life with 3x5's. Pam and Peggy's method of organizing your life using 3 x 5 cards revolutionized my life when I was a totalling disorganized young mother. I no longer follow much of their plan, but that is because I got organized (sort of)
