Bootcamp for Lousy Housekeepers

Bootcamp for Lousy Housekeepers

You're buried under piles of unfolded laundry. You can't set the table because all your dishes are dirty. You need to dust, but every countertop is covered in newspapers and last month's unpaid bills. Every drawer in your home is a junk drawer. Does this sound familiar? Do you want to manage your home better, but just don't know where to start? Bootcamp for Lousy Housekeepers is the book that can help you transform your home from "messed" to "blessed" in a month (or less!) and keep it clean For Good! Heidi Schaap teaches you what to clean, how often to clean it, how to maintain your newly-cleaned home and more!
Heidi is a wife and mother of eight children, all of whom are educated at home. She believes any woman can exercise dominion over her home with the help of the Holy Spirit, a bottle of Windex, and a good plan. Chocolate doesn't hurt, either.

"As someone who has tried them all (and I really do mean "all"â€¦), I have to thank you for your book. The other programs all have some very valuable things to offerâ€¦But your approach works best for me because 1) I love the focus on pleasing God and fulfilling our calling 2) the daily focus blocks and maintenance blocks break the tasks into manageable sub-sets 3) it's delightfully old-fashioned and sensible to establish a rhythm for our days and group similar chores together so you can say, as you wrote in your book, "Good has been done here," plan ahead knowing what each day will hold, and rest in the knowledge that everything will be taken care of 4) it's flexible and you can tailor the lists to your needs, and 5) there aren't any emails to keep up with or products to buyâ€¦I also really appreciate the encouragement and motivation. This is a well-written book that speaks to me like a sister or friend. For anyone who is overwhelmed looking at the lists, just remember that things are broken out step-by-step, but you can reduce the number of items on the lists by simplifying (for example, "clean bathroom" instead of "spray tub, scrub toilets, clean windows" etc.). Also, you don't have to be a stay-at-home mom to use this system. I am a working mom out of necessity and I just shorten the daily focus block to half an hour to an hour, have a morning and evening routine, and one daily maintenance block that involves a five-minute clean-up in each room, and am grateful for what I do get done instead of dwelling on what I don't get doneâ€¦ I highly recommend Bootcamp for anyone looking for a doable plan for household management. Thank you, Heidi, for a wonderful system!" - Cheyenne

"Bootcamp for Lousy Housekeepers has helped me break down the task of running a household into manageable pieces. Unlike other books, this gives step-by-step guidance in setting up a system AND the how-to's of actually getting things clean and keeping them that way. It's a homemaker's goldmine of information about everything from menu-planning, cleaning, organizing, and so much more." - Amy

"We had someone come over for a meeting. I did not panic. I did not spend all day madly cleaning. I did not hide laundry in my room. I said, "Cool". I love Bootcamp!" - Sharon

"Bootcamp for Lousy Housekeepers is the perfect book for homemakers who want to do better, but have no idea where to start. It revolutionized my understanding of how to conquer the dirty house beast and gave me the vision for where I wanted to end up. This book is not a gimmick or a magic pill, but the guide that takes the thinking and planning out of working smarter. I cannot recommend this book enough!" - Adrienne

"This is one book that NEEDS to be in every housekeeper's home, or should I say in every home. It really will work if you put the small amount of effort in it in the beginning." - Theresa
