and Creativity - Minimalist Living - Decluttering for Joy

Review:I read this book through in one day because I'm surrounded by clutter, mostly paper, and needed badly to be motivated to start the thinning process. It definitely had an effect on me and I've already started the job! I've had past experience clearing the decks before emigrating a few times, but seemed somehow to "clutter up" again, though it took a few years! It's the paper clutter that really gets to me and I would have liked something on that subject. Thank you for reminding me about the wisdo... Read more

and Loving Your Home Every Day - The Secret to Cleaning Better

Review:Great cleaning advice and tips even for those seasoned cleaners. Love the recipes for easy, environmentally safe and healthier products. I have been watching Melissa Maker's YouTube videos for a long time so it was an easy decision to buy her book. Whether you are familiar with her or not, this book is a must! Especially for younger adults, or any one starting out with no idea how to clean. Even though I have been a wife and mother for a long time, I still greatly benefitted from this book.... Read more

I Love You Rituals

Review:The first three chapters alone are well worth the price. Dive in with an open mind. I usual wince when authors are out to save the world (the last statement in Chapter 1 is "The healing of ourselves, of each other, of our children, and of society begins one bond at a time.") but I put that aside and really was moved by the view the author gives.

I put "Noticing" (pg 31) to the test immediately, and was amazed at the reaction from my 2 year-old (a recent adoptive placement) as well as a ... Read more

2015 International Building Code Commentary - Volume 1

Review:ICC system of organization & cross referencing seems to be set up so that the authors can prove how obtuse they can make something. I have worked with Building Codes for 40-years and they just seem to get more illogical in organization each issue. Going to multiple locations to try to piece together the requirements for an issue often leads to varying interpretations of the intent to no one's benefit. Read more
