MaryJane's Ideabook, Cookbook, Lifebook (Abridged): For the Farmgirl in All of Us Audiobook

" Made me yearn for the simple life. Very enjoyable and relaxing to read. Prompted me to get back to some simple hand working (ie, crocheting). "

" This book is full of great stories of the past. It is filled with cooking recipes and cleaning detergent recipes. It has good embroidery and sewing patterns, tips on livestock and the outdoors and just about anything else you need to know about! Oh..it has BEAUTIFUL pictures and quotes!! I was so excited by how interesting this book was that i was able to sit down and read the first 300 pages of it. "

" This book makes me wish I'd grown up on a farm. I've always been a crafty, home-maker type person, and this book is packed full of the stuff! Recipes, gardening, and frugal living. "

" Christmas gift hint: Do yourself & your loved ones a favor & go buy about 15 of these books & give them to your female family members & close girlfriends. Country girl, city girl, it doesn't matter; everyone will adore this book. The only problem is that the MALES (young & old) in their households will swipe it to read & the ladies will have to wrangle it away from them! "

" I grew weary of her "I used to be a Mormon" stuff and threw the book away. "

" On my bookshelf. Inspirational, uplifting and full of great ideas. "

" I can't believe I hadn't heard of this woman till now: wilderness ranger, carpenter, organic farmer, general all around awesome lady. MaryJane Butters, I like your idea book. "

" such a pretty book- farmgirls rule! "

" Kind of like Better Homes and Gardens with a smattering of LDS Enrichment meeting. It's funny how she mentions her LDS upbringing, yet declines to explain why she left the LDS church. Mormon culture is all over the place in her stories and ideas. "

" I want to be a farm girl now and I want to raise chickens. "

" I feel like I do after conference while reading.....uplifted and edified! "

" I loved this book. I am trying so hard to eat organically, stay chemical free and keep some of the old "arts" alive and this book gave me some great recipes, ideas and an overall good feeling of trying to live simply. "

" Brought back such memories as she told how to make the clothes-pin holder for the outdoor clothes line, and the day of the weekday dish cloths. The food recipes were great also. Homemade Smores from the ground up, except for the chocolate. I never even imagined one could make marshmallows. "

" Fun and very educational. She is one hard-working lady with not only great ideas but follow-through. Like an organic Martha Stewart :) "

" I think I have read every word in this book. It's inspirational, and chock full of wonderful things to do. "

" I don't know... there were some interesting sections, but overall, I found it disjointed, too much reminiscing- too much "lifebook," not enough "ideabook" or "cookbook." "

" I loved reading bits and pieces of Maryjane's life mixed in with crafts, recipes, gardening, quilting, all things I love. It as an unusual format and quite appealing. "
