You include tips for some rather out-of-the box activities, like how to transport an elaborate cake.
How did you decide what to include here?Well, its just people ask me things like that.
Weve kept a list of most of the questions that people have asked me.
We have a column in our monthly magazine,Martha Stewart Living, called Ask Martha.
They are not unusual questions.
Who do you think this book is for?I think its for everybody.
And if they read the book, theyll have a good basis in home organization and just growing up.
What tip in here was hardest for you to master?
I like doing all of these things, and I dont find any of them terribly hard.
What kind of book would you want to write but havent?Definitely my autobiography.
More to come on that in the future.
