Ellen Gets It Done & Real Simple Book Giveaway
Real Simple just came out with a new organizing tome, The Real Simple Method to Organizing Every Room and How to Keep It That Way, and our good friend and expert organizer, Ellen Madere, is a contributor. What I like about this book is the concrete advice: exactly where to donate outdated denim and well-worn sneakers (Nike Reuse-A-Shoe program grounds the shoes into material used to make playground surfaces!). You’ll find handy tips on how to get the family involved, a chapter covering every room in the house, and a list of inspirational resources. If you can’t go it alone, hire Ellen, who has been helping everyone from hapless collectors to hoarders streamline their lives for years. She knows what should stay, what should go, where it belongs and she’ll make sure the giveaways get a good home. She’s offered up these resources for E List readers:
