Tiny Tips books review and GIVEAWAY!

Happy Monday everyone! Personally I don't mind Mondays. I'm sure the fact that I'm a SAHM has a major part to do with that! But after busy weekends, it's nice to get things re-organized, re-clean, and just start fresh. Last night I sat down to read these two cute little books that Gooseberry Patch sent me for review...
 
These books are made up of the little tips and tricks that are sprinkled throughout GP's cookbooks. For me, the tips and the illustrations (also included) are the best parts! There are other titles in the "Tiny Tips" series as well. Of these two, one focuses on little touches for your home; the other focuses on kitchen hints. Here are some samples from "Tiny Tips for a Cozy Home:"
  • Need a tablecloth fast? Simply toss a quilt on the table!
  • Keep an eye open at tag sales for a wicker backpack. Filled to the brim with seasonal foliage, it makes an inviting back-door greeting.
  • Small candles floating in water-filled glass goblets add sparkle to the dinner table.
There are so many but those are my favorites! Here's a sampling from "Tiny Tips for the Kitchen:"
  • For thick and creamy casseroles, try using dry bread crumbs instead of adding flour.
  • Did you know bread will stay freshest if it's stored on the counter, not refrigerated?
  • For quick clean-up, lightly spritz the outside of a grater with non-stick vegetable spray.
Little books, but big on charm! Would you like to win one? I only have these two, no doubles...so I will part with ONE of them, I can't be too selfish. LOL Just leave me a comment and tell me which one you'd prefer. I'll choose a winner on September 29th. Please please please, make sure your contact info is linked to your name, or at least email me your info...otherwise I can't include you in the drawing. These books are also in-stock on Gooseberry Patch's website if you just can't wait!

Thanks for playing and have a great day!

♥ Jen

    You are very sweet to share one of your books. I would pick the kitchen one as I always need help to cook up something special. I always say I am a recipe person, not someone who just throws everything together. So I can use all the help I can get.

    Gooseberry Patch books are the best! I love the little tips you shared. I haven't visited in a while so I thought I would take a minute to see how you are doing. I sounds like you are very busy with Birthday celebrations.

    I would LOVE to win both books, but since I have to choose just one, I'd probably go with Tiny Tips for the Kitchen.

    I would like to say that I would prefer Tiny Tips for the Kitchen. I am recently unemployed wife and mother of 4. I am trying to learn all that I can to help my family now from the inside out. I have been enjoying looking at the recipes on their website. Thanks for sharing the opportunity to own one of their books.
