Wonderful

I loved this book because it addresses all women, even those of us that stay home full-time. Most books deal primarly with women working outside of the home. Forgetting the old debate, working is working. However, I really did find this book quite funny. It made me realize that we all must do these things to have a decent home. For now, unfortuantly most visitors to the home, still beleive that what they see and smell are a relection on how well the women keeps the home. I know this stinks, but for my generation age 48, this is for the most part true. Hopefully, the next generation gets better at sharing!
Well worth the read!

I bought the book on impulse, intrigued by the title. It was well worth it. The book is informative while treating the subjects irreverently and humorously. The tongue-in-cheek advise appears, at times, so genuine, that you read it aloud several times, asking: Does she mean it?
Really enjoyed this book

A friend of mind told me about this new book that I had to read. I LOVED it. From the title, I assumed that it would be funny - which it is. But I didn't think I would find so many great tips on how to be better at all those tasks we all have to do, but don't particularily put much thought into. What I took for a light summer read, turns out to be a really helpful how-to book for meal prep & planning, laundry, home organizing & cleaning. Anyway, I just bought 3 more copies to give to friends for upcoming birthdays & a hostess present.
