| 0:08.1 | That's where I share my personal deslabification process. As I figure out ways to keep my own home |
| 0:13.5 | under control, I share the truth about cleaning and organizing strategies that actually work in |
| 0:18.1 | real life for real people, people who love cleaning and organizing. I'm also the author of two books, |
