When I was a young mother, my own mother gave me two books: “A
Family Raised on Rainbows” and “A Family Raised on Sunshine,” both by Beverly K.
Nye. These books were treasure troves filled with shopping tips, homemaking
ideas, money-saving hints and recipes. So many of the things I do every day I
learned from those two books. For the most part, I buy fruits and vegetables
when they’re in season. They’re fresher and cost less that way. I make a daily
list of things that should be done, and I arrange them in order of importance.
Even the recipe for homemade play dough that entertained my kids for years came
from those two books. I had home economics teachers in middle school and high school,
but I can’t remember a single thing they taught me. The books went out of print
years ago and my own copies have fallen apart. But I wish I could pass them
along today.
