 2008-12-30 - Complete and at your fingertips
This is a compendium of homekeeping that everyone needs. Not all of us were raised with a "Martha" mom and can't call home to find out how to do all those necessary tasks well or at least not incorrectly. And alas, you CAN do things wrong - which might be worse that not at all. (I washed everything together my first time on my own and voila! grey whites, size 0000 woolens, etc.) Get this for yourself, give this to all children on their own (yours or not). It makes a great housewarming gift, as well, and will be much appreciated for years to come.
2008-12-21 - Invaluable information
This resource homekeeping book provides the latest up to date information about safe and green home products and procedures. Invaluable information.
2008-12-20 - So much info included, just a few pages are worth the entire book.
Great ideas to re-set your home care. There is a list of what to do every day, week, season that is worth the whole book.
2008-10-24 - Now I make my bed while still in it - save tons on cleaning products too
Two suggestions alone made my life easier. First, after making my bed using Martha's method, all it takes in the morning is a tug at one side, folding the sheet over the covers, then doing the same on the other (one I get out of), fluffing the pillows and I am done! Second, the vinegar and water solution is truly the best for cleaning laminate floors - no longer any residue build up left by commercial cleaners - and costs just pennies.
Plus the daily, weekly etc. schedules for the various tasks are practical and easily adaptable to personal lifestyles and regional climate needs. Last, but not least, the intro may be longer than is customary, but I strongly suggest reading it first to get a complete picture of Martha's philosophy for this book. I bought this copy as a gift for one of my granddaughters, after she saw my copy and expressed interest in borrowing it. This truly is a homekeeping book for all ages and stages in one's life.

I've given this book twice as a bridal shower gift. Both girls said it will be their bible. One is now married for a year and has already referred to this book three times for helpful information.
