Solveig Varn

I have kept house for fifty-eight years and taught home economics for more than thirty. Somewhere along the way, we were all taught to buy more and keep everything. Nobody taught us how to let go, how to waste nothing, or how to make a small house feel warm.

That is what we do together: what to keep and what to give away, simple habits that save money every month, cozy ways through a long winter, and how to leave things easy for the people you love.
