I just started reading this housekeeping book..

... and I'm loving it. I thought I'd share it with the homies here on the forum.

I wish I'd purchased the hardcover, rather than the Kindle version. I especially love it because the author's heritage is half Greene County PA where my DH is from and half Italian-American as I am.

Anyway, those of you who enjoy housekeeping might want to check it out.

Here it is on Amazon

Oh that looks lovely!  I think I'll ask DH for a copy for Christmas.  I do enjoy housekeeping.

Ooohhh!! I'd like to take a look at that!

 

I usually make a trip or two to the bookstores this season, and I'll be sure to look for it!

 

Thanks for posting.

Does it give any better cleaning solutions than other books or is it mainly a story with an idea here and there. I hate cleaning

Re: I just started reading this housekeeping book..

I've only read the first three chapters. It's inspiring to those of us who care about homemaking in a world where it is no longer valued. (That's my opinion, the author doesn't say that.)  I have the Kindle version so I haven't browsed through the whole book, but the author clearly says that it is not a housekeeping shortcuts book.

It sounds lovely...I love housekeeping books. I've been decluttering like made to make it easier to clean up around here.
