There are many issues facing families today - parenting,
education, employment, health care to name just a few. Our Editors
are pleased to recommend on this page and on the pages listed
in the drop-down menu above quality books related to various aspects
of Family Life. Unfortunately, we've found no easy solutions
to life's challenges. As Erma Bombeck said, "If life is a bowl
of cherries what am I doing in the pits?" However, with perseverance
and a little help from a friend, things always seem to work out.
I'm sure you will find many of the books on these pages to be
more than a little help, even if only for a pleasant afternoon's
diversion.

Good
Things : The Best of Martha Stewart Living
Book Description More like this
Martha Stewart's decorating ideas are deceptively simple.
The materials are readily available and the instructions
are easy, masking the sophistication it takes to realize
the simplistic beauty of a plain white plate with a single
maple leaf as a place card. "Good Things" is what Martha
Stewart calls the "easy tips" segment of her television
show, and, in fact, all of the tips in this book are remarkably
easy (at least, in comparison to some of her other projects).
Martha's potato, sweet potato, and onion latkes are remarkably
good, and are particularly recommended for those who may
still doubt whether they can match Martha in their own kitchens.
