in the same way. I'm hoping by the time I'm done with the book my home and things will be better organized and I'll be more educated on this subject. (It would also be cool to do it with this book

I've heard of people using Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking as a sort of textbook. Well I've just started using Martha Stewart's Homekeeping Handbook in the same way. I'm hoping by the time I'm done with the book my home and things will be better organized and I'll be more educated on this subject. (It would also be cool to do it with this book or this book or this book .)

I did the same thing. I started off just printing her cleaning checklists, then I moved on to the book.
ReplyDeleteI should try this...maybe I could finally learn how to fold a fitted sheet!
ReplyDeletei got this book for christmas and just love it- i've been using it more as a resource lately, but i love the idea of employing it as a textbook!
ReplyDeleteI have the Martha Cooking School book; it really is a great reference tool for cooking techniques, with lovely photos (of course!) and simple but classic, delicious recipes. Highly recommended!
ReplyDeleteSame here- I got this for my birthday last year and started reading it, but then fell off the wagon and have been using it mostly as a reference. I look forward to making some time this summer to really get through it.
ReplyDeletei've been thinking a lot about one tip i learned from martha stewart that has changed my life: sweep your kitchen floor at least once a day. maybe it's a no brainer to everyone else, but it helped me a lot. i may have to check out this book. thx!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I am going to keep my eyes peeled for this book while I am out thrifting... my house could certainly use it!
ReplyDeleteI bought it for my mum and i want to steal it every time im at her place. great idea about the text book.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea as well. I have all of those Martha books, and I have been thinking about using them in that way. Her Baking Handbook is great for the same purpose as well. Now I need a gardening text!
ReplyDeleteAdd me to the list of people who think this is a great idea. I have this book, actually. Have I cracked the spine? Negative.
ReplyDeleteAnother great book about home keeping is called Home Comforts. I gave a copy to all my bridesmaids at my wedding (10 years ago) and I have to say, maybe we are all nerds, but it was a huge hit.
I've thought about doing the same thing. I hate cleaning. I hate it sooo much. you've inspired me to try to be better about it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! You've inspired me...thanks!
ReplyDeleteCooking Light's Way To Cook would also be awesome for this. It reads more like a (very colorful, beautifully photographed) textbook as opposed to just a cookbook anyway.

I have this book too and have spent very little time with it. However, a complete apartment overhaul cleaning is about to start so this is a great idea to base my projects on! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWe should start a group or something and do it all together.
I've been thinking about purchasing this book, it seemed like it had sooo much great info in it but my local B&N closed. I guess I could buy online. lol
ReplyDeleteI would love to hear how it goes!
