Book Review.....Money Secrets of the Amish by Lorilee Craker

Image
Use it up, wear it out, make do, or do without!  Money Secrets of the Amish  by: Lorilee Craker Finding True Abundance in Simplicity, Sharing, and Saving! rating: 5 Stars "Money Secrets of the Amish" by author Lorilee Craker, was a quick read. At first, I was a little bored, but by the time I got a few chapters in, I was really enjoying it and didn’t want to put the book down! What I love about this book isn't so much the information – there isn’t much that I don't already do - but I love the enthusiastic way in which the author shares it. Lorilee Craker hasn't just found ways to save money – her joy and excitement at the fun of it is all throughout the book. Originally, I chose this book because of my love for living the simple lifestyle. But, in these hard economic times, who couldn't use a little extra scratch at the end of the month? You're not going to find any truly mind boggling ideas or get rich quick schemes in the pages of this book, but you ...

Jewelry Hanger

Image
                                                                I have a jewelry box that sits on top my dresser. It really isn't too bad looking......until you open the lid!  The part I've always disliked about a jewelry box was that the necklace's are always tangled and I can never find a matching pair of earrings!  I've been brain storming for a while about this, so finally decided to do something about it!  I found a plastic coated wire hanger, an old picture frame (minus the glass and backing) black spray paint and a piece of window screen. I painted the old picture frame black and let dry, then hot glued the screen to the back of it. I used wire cutters to cut the clothes hanger and bent it with a pair of pliers, so that the wire would bend around the back of the frame and hot glued them into pla...

Book Review......Save Your Marriage in Five Minutes a Day by Bonnie Jacobson and Alexia Paul

Image
Save Your Marriage in Five Minutes a Day by: Bonnie Jacobson and Alexia Paul "Simple Strategies to Transform Your Relationship" Rating: 2 Stars Save Your Marriage in Five Minutes a Day is about quick (5 minute) methods of improving a relationship that can be used by anyone. By incorporating these small gestures into each day, one can make a great difference in their marriage. The book is broken into sections that addresses issues such as communication, children, physical and sexual relationships.  The Authors often include a possible dialogue for each technique they recommend. However, it seemed that the way it was worded was how you would speak to a child, not a spouse and I don't see the conversations happening in real life. In these "Say This" sections of the book, the spouse who is being confronted with something immediately agrees with what the other is saying and they 'ride off into the sunset, and live happily ever after...
