Customer Reviews

Love, Love, Love It!

This book is such a refreshing break from the Martha Stewart-style tomes on home decor and management. Granted, it's not an in-depth account of how-tos; it's not supposed to be! It's a tongue-in-cheek, girl-power, do-it-with-panache look at modern home care. If you're looking for the perfect new homeowner book for your newlywed friends, this is it. By the way...the recipes for Cowboy Cookies and the lasagna (so simple!) are worth the price alone. My husband starts panting when he sees I've got the recipe out..

The MUST-HAVE Reference Book for Chicks

Love this book -- LOVE IT! I was the lucky recipient this Christmas and have read it already, cover to cover! Full of fun short stories, advice and quotes I'm sure to work into conversation some day. I plan on giving this book to my close chick-friends and am sure they will love it as much as I do!

A spurt of energy

Nesting is fun to do, fun to read, and fun to look at. Reading this gem will give any reluctant decorator or entertainer a spurt of energy to go for it. Whether you're throwing a girly party for a dozen or curling up with a cup of tea , this is an inspirational guide to refer to. A reference book for making one's house a home.

Chick-a-rific

Love it! I gave it to all my bridesmaids and reference it almost every day for the handy tips, recipes, and just plain old laughs. You have to check out Anna Quindlen's essay about not thawing the Thanksgiving turkey--hysterical! This is a book for all the chicks in your life--girlfriends, mother, grandmother, and sisters.

Great reading for the busy chick

Since Nesting is a collection of short stories, quotes, recipes, "how to's" etc., I find it convenient to read for a few minutes of "me" time without getting caught up in a plot. As I go through the book I get good ideas, enjoy a pleasant thought or even a good laugh. It is very entertaining and uplifting and can be enjoyed in small doses when time is short.
