Love Your Home Again
by Ann Lightfoot

When people first move into their homes, they have clear ideas about what they want from every room. The bedrooms will be peaceful and cozy. The dining room will work well for entertaining friends and family. The kitchen will be a hub of activity of course, but it will be high functioning and easy to manage. Time passes and clutter happens. Drawers, closets and cabinets get full of stuff making it difficult to put things away. Everyday tasks become dreadful. A few years later, when people look around, the home they dreamt of is far from the reality. In Love Your Home Again, mother-daughter organizing duo Ann Lightfoot and Kate Pawlowski will teach our readers how to manage their homes in a way that is modern, kind, effective, and fair. No one wants to spend all their free time doing chores. Through their signature systems of decluttering, organizing, and maintaining, Ann and Kate guide readers through the steps needed to resolve the issues behind the excess stuff and how to clear it out of their home to create the space to consider what they really want from their home. Through stories (and photos?) of clients' successes, readers will learn how to achieve their dream home through the power of organizing.

Anthony Bourdain always downplayed his skills as a chef (many disagreed).

He regularly dispenses arresting insight about how what’s on your plate reveals much of history and politics. And perhaps best of all, the heartfelt empathy he developed travelling the world for his TV shows is always in the fore, as these talks make the “Hemingway of gastronomy,” as chef Marco Pierre White called him, live again.
