I was not sure what I was expecting when I first started to read this book. Quaint, yes, but life changing, this I had not expected. This book is an inspiration in simple, mindful, practical, manageable, money saving, realistic living with small impact on the earth. I have reread this book numerous times. It has inspired me to change my life, less materialistic, more meaningful, less rushed, more meaningful. I cannot recommend this book enough. Have a read, you too will find inspiration in this friendly, well written and positive book

I recently bought this book as I am very much into being self sufficient and living simply. This book has some really useful information, no matter your stage in life. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in becoming a self sufficient home maker. A really great read!

I was given this book as a gift and it has been a valuable resource (recipes for food, cleaning products), homemaking tips, and general encouragement that it is, in fact, very much ok to be a homemaker and do it well. I really recommend this book for anyone who needs inspiration and guidance in their homemaking.
