This was so sweet, part-memoir, part-self-help, but more in a way where it just felt like your grandma was sitting at the table with you, recounting her past & present in a casual, charming way. I especially enjoyed the drawings that occurred every page or so, so special that the author could also bring in her storied life as an artist to the pages too. 

The chapter that stood out to me the most was “Don’t Leave Empty Handed”, which focuses on the little things we do every day to make your home and the world a better place. The piece of advice on not leaving a room without taking something with you (an empty glass, mail that needs to be opened, etc.) is one I hope to put into effect in my household right away! 

I didn’t read the author’s first book The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning, and there were many references to it that peppered the pages, which made me keen to pick that one as well.
