Remember when a home ran on know-how, not money?
There was a time when a whole house was kept spotless with vinegar, a lemon and a box of bicarb. When one wage fed a big family, with a little put by for Christmas — and everything was made, mended and made to last.
That wasn't luck. It was wisdom, passed from mother to daughter at the kitchen table. We gathered it all — every trick, recipe and penny-saving habit — into three little notebooks you can keep, print, and hand down to your own children and grandchildren.
— Because the old ways still work. They always did.
