After much waiting and years of hard work, I am so excited to share with you that, “The Good Life for Less,” (my first book, published by Penguin) is now available in bookstores nationwide. This is, perhaps, one of the most surreal moments of my life and I am so proud that I finally get to share it with all of you. It is such an honor to have my family on the cover (shot by Nancy Lary Studios) of this book and it was one of the most special days of our lives and one I will forever remember.
This book is the handbook that I wish someone had given to me when I started my family. It is a book rooted in great family traditions on a dime, how to get delicious and inexpensive meals on the table, how to care and decorate your home for less, how to have fabulous family celebrations without spending a lot, and truly living the good life for less! It is nine years of hard research and sharing the very best gems of wisdom I have learned over the years, much learned through my own trial and error, as well as the beautiful words of wisdom you have shared with me over the years that have helped to shape our family.
Even as a child, I also wanted to be a writer and to write my own book. I used to type furiously on an old typewriter in my parent’s basement, writing my own little books of stories of my own imagination. I am fascinated with writers and have often admitted out loud that the main reason I have a Twitter account is simply to talk to my favorite writers. I am the girl that sends fan mail to my favorite writers. I am forever a bookworm. To be among them, is a childhood dream come true.
We so appreciate your love and support. Without you, a moment like this would have never been possible. This is one of those projects though that I truly need your help supporting- please share about it with your friends, tweet it, pin it, Facebook it, share it, buy it, etc… It would mean so much to my family!
The book is NOW AVAILABLE for ordering, both print and digital versions! Here are some options for great places to order it! I also encourage you to hit your local bookstore to pick it up!
I am so thankful for you and your belief in me over the years. Nine years ago, I would have never envisioned where this journey would take us and it has far surpassed anything I could have ever dreamed.
I thank you and love you all dearly!

Amy

I just got my copy in the mail yesterday and I love it! This is a great book full of fun ideas for parties and all different recipes and decorating ideas I want to try and I can actually afford them for once, usually magazines and books are full of recipes with odd expensive ingredients and thousand dollar rugs so then I don’t even want to bother with any of it. You book has me excited about being creative and having some fun as well. Thank you so much for your hard work, the book is awesome! Congratulations!
