This is "Clean Mama's" guide to having a clean, peaceful and enjoyable home. It's pretty formulaic and there's not much new if you've read her other books, but it was a good reminder of her general processes.

Basically, what was newish here was to identify "pain points" in each room and then either fix them or pair them with something pleasurable. Her pleasurable options almost always include aromatherapy. I don't recall that she mentioned that essential oils can be harmful to animals so if you have pets, I recommend that you investigate what is safe for them before using them in your home. I think when I looked up what ones were safe with cats that there were only four! And I don't care for two of them, so I use them rarely.

People who want some ideas on how to be more efficient home cleaners, organizers and have some peaceful moments in their homes too.

The refresher of her cleaning schedule.

There was a lot of repetition.

Wave a magic wand and have my home perfect. Ha! That's not what the book was about though, for sure.

Like Becky was talking to me. Even though the narrator was someone different, she did a good job impersonating Becky, just more confident. I actually wondered if she'd watched some of Becky's videos to get a feel for her style.

It was enjoyable, even though there wasn't much (if anything at all) that was new to me.

If you've already read her other books and don't like repetition, you can skip this one.

I'm surprised, very pleasantly, that I'm finally able to do an official product review again! The paperback didn't work, but the Kindle version did. Maybe this knowledge will help someone.

I bought the audio and kindle versions of this book to support Becky, the author. I listened to the audio version.
