5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book!, February 26, 2001
By A Customer
This is an awfully warm and cozy book that encourages the reader to create a beautiful and comforting home. She emphasizes making each corner of a house appealing and gives practical suggestions for making that happen. And while I've heard criticisms for her use of the word *frugal*, I guess it depends on what you consider frugal to be. Cheapskate she's not, but her suggestions are mostly in the reach of the average joe.

The recipes are fun and I esp. enjoyed the quotes given at the beginning of each section. She also covers the topic of clutter and how it can bog the homemaker down. She never makes a suggestion without giving you an out for it. Excellent!

I think Mrs. McBride has a great grasp on making a house feel like a home. Greatly recommend it for other *cozy* types!

4.0 out of 5 stars Frugal Martha? So what?, March 8, 2001
By Kevin Hull "mhull20" (Savannah, GA USA) - See all my reviews
Some reviews of her other books disparagingly refer to her as a frugal Martha Stewart and say who needs all this "luxurious" stuff. So? I really like this book. Living frugally doesn't necessarily have to mean living spartanly. I like nice things like bath salts, drawer fresheners, etc., and since I'm a mom, I like to make things myself and know that there aren't nasty chemicals or anything articifical in the things in my home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple Smiles and Things from Days Past, February 11, 2006
By L. Lord (Boulder, CO United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you live with a rat race mentality this book is not for you. If you are desperately seeking simple treasures to bring smiles to your day and others this is a RARE GEM! There is a focus on fun gifts to give others. Many of the gifts use items recycled from the kitchen combined with items from your garden. You will not spend much money but will need to invest your time to create the items. I loved this sense they are very inexpensive I can share more gifts with others. There is a real touch of sharing family traditions and togetherness.

3.0 out of 5 stars A little disappointing
This was a little disappointing to me. I have Tracey's first book "Frugal Luxuries" and totally love that. I do not like this one as much.
Published 18 months ago by Coffee Monkey

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as useful as it could be
You have to read through McBride's sermons before you get to the practical aspects, of which there are not many. Read more
