"Wanda E. Brunstetter’s Amish Friends Life Hacks has hundreds of helpful tips on cooking, cleaning, gardening, laundry, and so much more. This book is a compilation of life hacks (shortcuts, tips, and tricks) that will make life a tad easier. There are natural remedies, a natural bleach, planting tips, natural food coloring, canning and preserving tips, baking tips, crafting tips, and pest deterrents (plus much, much more). I especially liked the section on cleaning alternatives. I am sensitive to smells (I have asthma, allergies, and fibromyalgia) and it is hard to find cleaning products without scents (too many have lavender). I enjoyed the miscellaneous tips at the end which included my favorite tip which was the secret to an amazing life. There is Amish wisdom sprinkled throughout the book. Amish Friends Life Hacks is a handy book to have around the home."
