The Stepmom's Guide to Simplifying Your LIfe (The Stepmom's Guide) 12 reviews
Karon Phillips Goodman
Equilibrium Press, 2002
Very helpful
This is one of the most useful self-help books I've encountered. Along with Stepmotherhood, by Claire Burns, it helped me to refocus my energy from the undifferentiated desires for things I could not change (e.g., I wish my stepchildren were more independent), to specific items that I could (an adult living in my house cannot leave empty food dishes on my bed). Sounds self-evident, but it helps ...

Nancy Stewart Ging
Xlibris Corporation, 2002
Full of wisdom, insight, and practical advice
Nancy Ging has written a book that introduces a new paradigm for approaching the life-work of being a whole, individuated person. Starting from the premise that each of us IS whole at the level of the Greater Self, or soul, she shows how life may be envisioned as an act of balancing our physical, temporary, bodily self with our spiritual, eternal, energy self. The book includes not only advice ...

Simplifying Las Vegas (A Travel Guide for Everyone)1 review, 2008
Entertaining and useful
Much more practical than typical travel guides, and completely unpretentious. This will be useful for regular folks looking for the most fun for their money; it would be especially great for Vegas rookies. Not aimed at really sophisticated or high end travelers.
Lots of good reference material and some solid gambling advice.
The writing style is entertaining and highly readable.

Simplifying Accounting Language: Don't Lose Your Balance1 review
Jeffrey Slater
Kendall Hunt Pub Co, 1983
Simply Wonderful!
The last time I had an economics course was during the academic year 1967-68. Since then, many of my courses included major components of economic theory and readings in economics. In addition, as a director of a program, I am held responsible for the managing a budget. I've never had an accounting course. I am able to manage my budget with my computer knowledge and by directing questions ...

Writing Essentials: Raising Expectations and Results While Simplifying Teaching7 reviews
Regie Routman
Heinemann, 2004
Content, NOT conventions!
I purchased this book a few months ago as a textbook requirement for a graduate course I took. Little did I know that I would end up dog-earing practically every page! Regie's approach to teaching writing resounded with me on so many levels. As a kindergarten teacher coming off her first year in a classroom, I had felt a nagging dissatisfaction with our school's packaged writing "program", but ...

From Clutter to Clarity: Simplifying Life from the Inside Out8 reviews
Nancy Twigg
Standard Publishing Company, 2007
A very valuable resource!
The book "From Clutter to Clarity" has been life-changing. Even before I finished the book, I started implementing many of the suggestions that author Nancy Twigg writes about. This was especially true in the section "From Cluttered Thoughts and Attitudes to Inner Clarity." As Nancy states, clutter is an issue of the heart. This book is not a how-to guide on cleaning out your closets, ...

5 1/2 months and still breastfeeding my twins....
I found this book very helpful. I am a mom of 4 boys - and exclusively breastfed my first two boys for one year each. When I found out I was pregnant w/ twins I was nervous thinking I would not be able to nurse them. I heard about April's book - and bought it. The book helped me so much and made me realize I can breastfeed them - and I have been doing great for 5 1/2 months now. It was just ...

Simplifying Complex Scenes in Watercolor5 reviews
Malcolm Beattie
International Artist, 2003
This one's a keeper.
As a beginner-to-intermediate painter, I have bought several watercolor books and this seems to be one of the best ones for me. It is not a beginner book, as it is targeted more for the intermediate painter; short on fundamentals and long on technique. In reading it, I had more than one "light-bulb moment". The book sets some realistic goals, and accomplishes them. I really enjoy the painting ...

Tom Clark Clarifies Storage Virtualization Very Well!
Tom Clark is one of most lucid, current writers on storage networking topics. His books on Designing Storage Area Networks and IP SANS are good introductions to these topics. His latest book, Storage Virtualization (2005 Addison Wesley press), provides a much-needed Rosetta Stone for interpreting and putting into perspective the various meanings for this much ballyhooed concept.

It is filled to the brim with valuable information, and it is also filled with stunning artwork by the author.

Kathy Waddill
McGraw-Hill, 2001
Good Organizing Advice
Some things to think about from this book:
*If things are too hard to put back, they usually just stay out.
*Have a place for everything so you can keep everything
in its place.
*Store things as close to their point of use as possible.
*The more steps it takes to do something, the less likely
it is to get done.
You can read the first chapter if you go to the author's website.

Simplifying Sugar Flowers4 reviews
Alison Margaret Procter
AP Cutters, 2005
Beautiful, impressive and easy to make flowers.
Contrary to the opinion of some reviewers, this book does not teach flowers taught in Wilton classes. I was a Wilton instructor for 5 years and taught all of their classes including the new fondant and gumpaste class. These gumpaste flowers are incredibly lifelike and easy to make if you have any experience with gumpaste. The cake designs suggested are also very creative and impressive. I am ...

The Expectant Parents' Companion: Simplifying What to Do, Buy or Borrow for an Easy Life with Baby5 reviews
Kathleen Huggins
Harvard Common Press, 2006
If you're lost in the prenatal fog like me...
I have never written a review on Amazon before, but this book compelled me to do so because I have found it so helpful. While I agree with the reviewer who said the book is biased (Huggins' preferences for breastfeeding, natural birth, etc. come out loud and clear), it is still an incredibly useful resource for someone like me--a first-time mom who knows absolutely nothing! I have no younger ...
