How much can you tell about someone by what’s in their fridge?

More importantly, what can you learn from snooping around in other women’s fridges that might help to make your own life easier?

That’s the concept behind a new e-book just out from 2 Paupers, Inside the Fridge. It takes a little tour of the kitchen supplies and food-serving habits of various busy WAHMs (work-at-home mothers) you may have run into here and there online, for a bit of insight into the juggling act that so many women must do.

Yeah, you guessed it… your friendly neighbourhood Domestik Goddess was interviewed for the book — and somehow, it makes me sound ever so much more organized than I really am!

2 Paupers are two Australian mums, Anne Maybus & Kathie Holmes, who are raising families and living on tight budgets. In addition to Inside the Fridge, their “Making Life Easy” series of e-books tackles the topics of Halloween party food, ideas for fancy dress costumes, Christmas food, recipes for dips, and even a guide to having (or helping with) a stress-free wedding.

I just can’t say enough about clicker training as a reward-based method of training a dog — in fact, I can’t imagine even trying to train my retired racing greyhound by the old-fashioned methods, because the big sookie-baby would have curled up in terror if I tried to physically force him into position.

With clicker training, it was a breeze.

Strangers remark on what a well-behaved dog he is; and he’s just joined the therapy dog team! Even my brother-in-law’s Husky-mix “pound puppy” learned to walk politely on a leash — without pulling like the sled dog she was born to be — and the improvement in her manners came within 10 minutes of starting the training.

What a pleasure to see that Karen Pryor, the originator of clicker training for dogs, is now offering her books in a downloadable format!

ClickBooks will include new titles, old favorites, and a-la-carte positive training solutions that provide access to the information you want anytime, anywhere. You can purchase entire books for less than the price of a paperback, or individual chapters for only $1.99, which makes this the most convenient and cost-effective way to get training information from the experts.

Or, just print them out and read them like any other book! There’s no shipping, no waiting; just the best training information available exactly when and where you need it.
