I am looking for book recommendations to simplify/do more myself around the house (suburbia), basically self suffiency. However, I am not looking for a book that tells me how to keep chickens (our HOA would go ballistic, they don't even like vegetable gardens...), just things I can do myself around the house, food, laundry, soap, sewing, arts & crafts (and what to do with two kids home from school for the summer while I am eight months pregnant 
).
I guess I am looking for a cross between living greener (than we do now) mixed in with frugality. Sort of back to basics...
Thanks!

Don't be afraid to post whole lists of books you like
for a lot of info on self-sufficiency, but it might be more than what you're looking for
