We’ve reviewed quite a few of Sleeping Bear Press’s Alphabet books here. We love them. If babies and toddlers come to mind when you think of alphabet books, then you’ve never looked at one of their fantastic picture books that uses an amazing strategy to make them appeal to younger kids (4 – 6 year…

The Other Side of Organized
Honestly, organized is one of my very favorite words in the entire English language. So when the offer came in to review Linda Samuels’ book, The Other Side of Organized, I knew I couldn’t pass it up.

Amish Proverbs

Radical Homemakers
Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! What didn’t I love and enjoy about Radical Homemakers: Reclaiming Domesticity from a Consumer Culture!?!

Thrifty: Living the Frugal Life with Style
