In the 21st century there is pressure like never before - we want to make an impression, do the 'right thing'. Being smart, being able to cook, furnish one's house stylishly, have a beautiful garden and entertain while being green at the same time is highly desirable. However, many of us just don't have a clue where to go for advice. Who better to turn to than our own homemaking guru, Tonia Todman. Two generations have now passed with no real instruction either at home or in schools about the domestic arts. Couple this with the high percentage of parents who work long hours and who are not at home to demonstrate how to run a household (except by guess or panic) and you have a whole generation of potential homemakers searching for answers. Nowadays you can't even call upon your grandmother or aunt – they are likely to be in either Tuscany or Provence with their new best friends! With thoroughly modern, fresh ideas, Tonia Todman makes it all possible. In SMART LIVING Tonia incorporates much of her wisdom bringing together the best of the classics of yesteryear and 21st century contemporary ideas. Achieving a comfortable home, garden and stylish lifestyle isn't difficult – you just have to know where to go for guidance.
