Book Review - A Home Companion by Wendyl Nissen

I couldn't help myself and purchased this book on Saturday and have read it already hehe. It's flippin fantastic, I love how it is written and can relate to nearly everything in the book.

Most books I've got out from the library on a lot of subjects Wendyl covers are down right boring and I lose interest very very quickly. This book however was in my hands everytime I sat down from making up orders over the weekend or digging in the garden. I went to bed early so I could read it and read it over breakfast in the morning.

I plan on re-reading it over this weekend coming and I think that each month for the next year I am going to follow what Wendyl has done, not necessarily to the letter but will change a few things each month. So many of the things she has done in this book are on my 'to do' list anyway so why not?

That's what I love about how this book is written, each chapter is a new month and will cover a few different topics. Very easy to read and has some really funny bits in it.

If you don't know what you want for Christmas and are sick of all the toxins that seem to make it into the house and into our bodies then this is a must have for you.

Right now off to find where I can get a few of the ingredients she uses :)

Her website is fantastic. I must check my library for her books. SHe makes the topic so much more fun than most green/eco books.
