The Proven Method for Keeping Your Home Organized - and Beautiful in Just 10 Minutes a Day

Review:Lots of good, practical ideas. Love the idea of safe, natural products. The thing I liked least was a lack of index at back of the book. Have to look more than one place to find what I want. Her website is awesome too. Products are high quality too Read more

The Six-Week Total-Life Slim Down - Lose the Clutter

Review:Recently, I moved home to assist with my disabled parents. In that move, two houses were combined into one. Because of the short amount of time between my lease ending and having to move, everything just got shoved into the garage and other free space. You know the old adage - I'll just get to it later. Well later has lead to some serious stress about where to go now. To try and make some headway, I decided to purchase a book. Something to try and give me a starting point since I am seriously ov...

I'm waiting to finish the third reading till I get my eager fingers on the hard cover book. Thanks, KariAnne, Tyndale, and all involved for giving the world a lovely book. Read more

Simple Ways to Create a Natural Home - The Made-from-Scratch Life

Review:When I started gardening almost three years ago, I also started listening to some podcasts. Those two interests combined when I found Melissa K. Norris ([...]). I learned many gardening tips, food preservation tips and, very importantly, seed-saving tips. I couldn’t have learned to save tomato seeds the right way without her.
When I found out she was writing a book, I added it to my Amazon cart right away – four months before the release date. I am so glad I did.
The size of the book is de... Read more

Review:This book is a must-have for serious gardeners and those that live off the land. It shows you how to make your own root cellar from scratch, or how to convert a small room into a food storage room.

Unf*ck Your Habitat: You're Better Than Your Mess
Unf*ck Your Habitat: You're Better Than Your Mess

Review:I have really enjoyed this book! I have no problems with the author's liberal use of words that some readers might object to, and for my taste they just add to the in-your-face truth telling. I am trying to think of as many people as I can who also need this book to improve their lives. Her concept for using "20/10s" might make the difference between success and failure for some people. If a family friendly version were available I would make sure some of my younger friends and relatives got... Read more

I highly recommend this book i... Read more
