Today, as this experience was floating around my mind, a friend, Pete Peterman walked into my office. No one would know by his outward expressions. As soon as Pete walked through the doorway I could feel of his giving spirit. How many of you have heard this or offered it yourself as a point of conversation? I have, and I will tell you historically it has gone in one ear and out the other without much emotion. As did Dale walking up to learn he once was paralyzed, Pete making this point hit me hard!

Metaphors have meaning and add to understanding, however when they are spoken by one who truly is living the message, it occupies a different spot in your heart. Stunned, I sat back wanting to absorb his wisdom. That was okay, nothing was needed. I thought of things that may be on bucket lists such as skydiving, rocky mountain climbing, and riding Fu Man Chew, yet these seemed empty sitting there with a man living the title.

Pete, what is it like? Out came a long drawn out — w e l l — followed by a pleasant pause and then words of wisdom we all should take to heart. Besides, with where technology is going today, who knows; someone may come up with a cure while I am still living! I loved his response and the joy I could see that filled his heart as he expressed this to me. You see, he had just come from spending time with his daughter doing nothing but hanging out. You're gonna stand by that one? Her cheats for entertaining we I almost loved this book. Her cheats for entertaining were way more than I ever do or would even consider.

Her ideas for catering events are much more complicated than my from scratch home cooked meal. I'd hate to see her before she embraced the "good enough" life. Mar 23, Holly rated it it was ok. I got seventeen recipes that use a deli chicken out of this book and that is about it. Her language is abominable the whole time yes, like, swearing and intentionally or not, she makes herself sound like an alcoholic.

She contradicts herself by saying "stop caring abou what other people think" and then giving tip after tip to put on the facade of being on top of things when you aren't.

If us supermoms out there are going to cure our craziness, the only way is to allow the other moms in our self-appointed Mommy Competition see us without our hair done, with dirty dishes in the sink every once in a while.

Author Lisa Quinn made me promises she, ultimately, did't keep. Oct 06, Kristen Nace rated it liked it. I was only going to give this book 2 stars because its really not that great a book, she has all this random stuff- most of it not that helpful or different from anything I've read before in women's magazines- HOWEVER- She had one tip where you can get ink off a painted wall with a magic eraser and I had a wall where SOMEBODY had written the word No.

Quinn and magic eraser! Aug 30, Elissa Washuta rated it liked it. Very cute, funny book. Like other commenters, I didn't exactly learn anything new, but I did appreciate Quinn's attitude and angle--that half-assed is totally good enough. I think I'm actually going to remember many of her tips because of it. I was surprised to see so much of a focus on motherhood--it seemed to be assumed that the reader would be a mom, which alienated me somewhat, as I'm a live-alone twenty-something who needs some guidance on keeping things in good enough order, even though I d Very cute, funny book.

Life's Too Short to Fold Fitted Sheets by Lisa Quinn

Jan 17, Tiffany Whitelatch rated it liked it. I liked a lot of her advice, she does make you feel like life is too short to fold fitted sheets. But some of the things she gets upset at could be fun to others. Yes it may take time to make little sandwiches in shapes for a party, but what if you want to make those shapes? I felt like she just assumed you would be tired of certain homemaking techniques. Maybe I wasn't in the right frame of mind when reading the book, but I did feel like I was getting harped on for caring too much at times.

Jun 03, Celia rated it really liked it. I really enjoyed this book. I didn't laugh out loud but her writting style is really fun and like talking to a good friend rather than a lecture.

How to fold a fitted sheet - Life Changing !

The book is layed out in different sections which is helpful for getting to the parts you really care about. I adored the "decor" section and took notes like a nerd but skipped the kids parties section all together. Great book for anyone who feels bad about their less than perfect life.

Moms with too little time on their hands so May 04, Glenda Lynne rated it liked it. I have read so many books on this subject that I didn't find many tips that were new to me. Nevertheless, it is a good book for a person who is just venturing into this way of approaching the daily chores of life. I DO fold my fitted sheets so they will fit into my linen closet, but there are other ideas within the book that are nifty.

I especially loved the tips for entertaining. I will refer back to those later.

It was worth my time and money, just not a lot of new information. May 16, Ginny rated it liked it Shelves: Quick read, though I skimmed some parts. I pretty much agree with most of the reviews that I saw about this one. No big surprises or really great tips that I haven't heard or tried before. The book is coming at a good time for me though, with trying to clear out clutter, and affirming that just because women "can have it all! I didn't really need a book to tell me how to do it. Jul 29, Tracy rated it liked it.

I'm a sucker for books on organization. This one was touted as "your ultimate guide to domestic liberation" and I do truly hate to fold fitted sheets, but I got put off by the over use of the word "half-assed" and didn't really find anything new. However, that might be because I do enjoy books on organization. Oct 08, Jenny rated it it was ok Shelves: Another book that wasn't what I was expecting.

A quick, light read. No earth-shattering insights here, but a likeable voice and definitely some good tips.

In that vein, she gives ideas for quick-cleaning, suggestions for low maintenance elements for your home, domestic shortcuts, and more. May 30, C rated it really liked it. Fun book that read like a reality check on the Martha Stewart culture. The introduction is entitled "Confessions of a Disullusioned Domestic Diva" gives an idea of what the reader is in for.

A very easy and funny read. The author a former HGTV host , gives some great and easy tricks about housekeeping, decorating and hostessing without all of the work work and stress. A lot of fun. Jan 03, Mallory Hall rated it liked it Shelves: While there were lots of fun ideas for decorating and entertaining I think the appeal of this book is the author's message - don't be a control freak.

I'm sure lots of ladies can recognize themselves in some of the stories Lisa tells about herself.

This book is divided up into sections that give tips on how to manage various home issues. Cleaning, decorating, hosting events for kids or adults, and how to wean yourself off being a perfectionist. It's well written, and the tips are really useful.
