Why I love Martha...

Ok I have to admit as I said I do love Martha Stewart. I truly believe she made housekeeping home keeping or whatever you want to call it something to take pride in. Now she does take things to the extreme in many ways but that's what makes her, well Martha. Now it seems as though taking time to iron clothes, clean out your closet, bake and decorate amazing cookies is something to enjoy and be proud of and not just thought of as meaningless and filled with drudgery or worse a waste of time. Being a 'house wife' 'home economist' or 'domsestic diva' is no longer something to be ashamed of because you didn't work outside the home. Instead, its go to work? great. stay at home with kids pets or whatever? great too. And here is a gigantic 500 page book on how to take care of your very own domain with an amazing attention to detail and creativity. The book I borrowed today 'The Housekeeping Handbook 'is a meticulously detailed book on how to take care of and clean and store everything that you could possibly have in your home. (and a whole lot of crap we dont have) I have just barely scratched the surface (Im sure Martha would have a handy tip to help me fix that ) of what this book contains... Some of it I love, some of it is a stretch and some if it is totally insane. Here is my take on just a few things I saw today....

 Martha's complete set of whisks.....

 MY complete set of whisks....

Marthas set of forks... now mind you she did NOT take all of her forks out of her plastic divider we ALL have and lay them out. Each of these forks serves a specific purpose such as a pastry fork, oyster fork four tined fish fork. and last but not least a table fork.

  My forks consist of.. wait for it... wait for it. A large and small fork. Beware oyster fork... you are not the coolest one by far... o no.

Ok I have reached my blogging limit for today. Stay tuned tomorrow as we explore the wild and wacky world of spoons linen closets cleaning supplies and most excitedly how to properly fold the dreaded fitted sheet!! can you stand the excitement? I know I cant!!
