Martha Stewart's Very Good Things

Book excerpt: Inside these pages Martha shares all her best good things--the original life hacks for the home--to make your life easier, more fun, more delicious, and more efficient. These practical tricks cover all areas of Martha's domestic expertise, including cooking, crafting, gardening, organizing, entertaining and more. From clever says to solve common problems (use lip balm to lubricate a stuck zipper) to time-saving tricks (label window screens to avoid confusion when they come down for cleaning) to stress reducers (color code kids' bathroom gear to make mornings less hectic), every one of these ideas will make you wonder, "Why didn't I think of that?" Also included are ways to use what you have (infuse vinegar with herb blossoms), streamline your stuff (use just a few handy tools for many different purposes), or just make life a little more luxurious (serve party snacks in pretty decanters). Whether functional, delightful, or a little bit of both, these are the details that enliven and inspire every day--that's a good thing
