I'm...I'm seeing more backlash to this book. I'm like you. I have many interests and they all have specialized equipment. Canning, brewing, knitting, gardening, etc. Maybe I need to read the Radical Homemaking book instead. And do at least a little tidying to make room for a Kegerator--brewing is a hobby where there's always another piece of equipment one needs.Mary Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10206456507116373766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506305897742962637.post-58736656054611358082015-09-30T14:04:00.231-06:002015-09-30T14:04:00.231-06:00YES. To all of this. I read parts of that book bef...YES. To all of this. I read parts of that book before I chucked it as not applicable to me and my homesteading lifestyle. I need implements, soap making supplies, various stages of wardrobe, that giant water bath canner and oh, yeah, the pressure canner, too. And that dehydrator, and...on and on ad infinitum. <br />I read Radical Homemaking and that made me feel sane. That book reaffirmed my belief in home as project and and living centered. Where we try stuff, and cook, and preserve, and harvest and build forts and be messy. <br />I could be neat and tidy, but I got stuff to do. I'll be neat and tidy when I die. <br />Have a great week!!<br />lindsey @ HerbandFlowerSoapCohttp://www.herbandflowersoapco.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506305897742962637.post-27497091567983478972015-09-30T13:40:11.173-06:002015-09-30T13:40:11.173-06:00It's great that you've resolved, at least ...It's great that you've resolved, at least mentally, that there are some things that are totally out of your control and, therefore, not worth stressing over. Your house is definitely one of those things. No matter how much effort you put into it, it will always require more. The book just lets you know that you're spot on in setting your priorities. tu merenoreply@blogger.com
