The Hip Girls Guide to Homemaking: Decorating, Dining, and Gratifying Pleasures of Self-Sufficiency – on a Budget! by Kate Payne – published by Harper Design.

You think after 15 years of being a “homemaker” I’d have this ‘job’ down pat.  BWAHAHAHA…yeah well anyway.  I still don’t meal plan, organizing gets done when I have no room for anything else, and as for decorating… let’s just say I have no ‘style’ of any kind. 

I didn’t grow up with pets, well at least not any that didn’t have to be caged 24/7.  I actually was rarely around dogs of any kind growing up.  Our neighbors had a big Doberman Pincer and that was enough to make me scared of dogs for the better part of my life!  As an adult my sister got a cute little fluffy dog, and I let him wheedle his way into my heart.  That’s about as much as a dog lover as I got.
