Simple Country Wisdom - Ideas to Simplify Your Life

I found another great book at the library! I think this is the perfect book to guide me through the process of finding simplicity in my life. I'm a Virgo... and a list maker... and I love having a "plan" for things. I'm sure I could do this on my own... but I find following a blueprint of sorts to be fun and easier than trying to think it all up on my own. I love books.

Here's the description from Amazon.com.

"Is modern life becoming too complicated and messy? Top-selling author Susan Waggoner is here to simplify it all. She shows how anyone can enjoy a more relaxed lifestyle filled with traditional country values—and save time, money, work, and frustration in the process—with household hints our foremothers knew well.

This ingenious and fun-to-read illustrated handbook presents tried-and-true household hints and practical solutions to everyday problems. And the superb organization—covering such topics as “Clutter Control,” “Better Living Through Baking,” and “In the Garden”—makes it easy to find the information you need. Whether it’s a no-scrub trick to make bathroom faucets gleam or advice on growing a garden guaranteed to attract birds and butterflies, Country Living Simple Country Wisdom is the key to creating a home that’s cheerful, welcoming, and warm."
 The first chapter is  "What Makes a Welcoming Home?" I'm going to read this chapter tonight.

Join me tomorrow for my thoughts.

Thanks for the book suggestion - I found it in our library system and just placed a hold for myself.
