Her books are about living your life the best you can by presenting yourself, home and family well, celebrating everyday life and making the absolute most of what we have.
One of my favorite quotes in this book is in reference to morning madness and learning to slow down, enjoy life:
"Life is in the present moment... Anxiety is caused by thinking about the future."

I feel like it's so important to enjoy all life's moments and processes, not only the destinations. This was such a great reminder for me...
In this book, the author also shares her perfected 10 item wardrobe pieces, brings new meaning to 'exercise' and why it's ok not be a 'gym person,' and provides yummy recipes and hostess tips. She has a fabulous brunch layout and music playlists that really make me want to be her next house guest!
I hope to implement many of the wonderful concepts and ideas into my own life and with my own family. I especially look forward to reading this book again (one day) when our family grows and learn how so many of these things will help us to be better parents and a stronger family.

Love the sound of this book! Brunch should, most definitely, always be festive :)
Ah! This sounds like my kind of book! There was a book I read in college (man, I can't remember the name of it now) that was basically like this for young women about to enter life. Wardrobe staples. How to handle certain situations with grace, etc. I think I could benefit from the "make use of what you have" part. We're on such a tight budget that I sometimes refrain from entertaining because it can be such a money suck but I love doing it!
I absolutely want to get this book - from this quote alone - "Life is in the present moment... Anxiety is caused by thinking about the future." Thanks so much for sharing!!
