Staff Pick
I am neither a mom nor an author nor an Emmy Award-winning TV host... nonetheless, I feel like Lisa Quinn and I have a lot in common. We are both recovering perfectionist control freaks, looking for ways to clean, decorate, and entertain like Martha Stewart without breaking the bank or tearing our hair out. In Life's Too Short to Fold Fitted Sheets, Quinn helps like-minded domestic overachievers lower the bar and regain their sanity without sacrificing style, offering tips on "not-so-good housekeeping," "slacker chic" decorating, and "half-assed hostessing." At once useful and hilarious, Life's Too Short to Fold Fitted Sheets is a must-read for anyone seeking domestic liberation. Recommended By Tove H., Powells.com
