Come, mi amor.
Let's make home a little easier.
On my YouTube channel I share the house tricks my mother taught me, one ordinary problem at a time. Here is where I keep them on paper, in big letters, so you can have them on your kitchen table.
The book
Nobody Wrote It Down
Simple house tricks, my mother's secrets, and the stories that came with them
- 168 pages
- 12 chapters
- 74 house tricks
- Large, clear print
My mother cleaned a whole kitchen with half a lime and a saucer of salt. She never wrote any of it down. So I did.
This book holds the tricks from my videos and many new ones: greasy stove grates, sour-smelling laundry, yellow mattress stains, cloudy shower glass, tarnished silver, fruit flies, and what to do when the storm comes. Between the tricks I tell you the stories from my kitchen, and you will see the pictures from my album.

Made with care
Checked, not guessed
- The facts were checked against published sources, listed at the back of the book.
- Tricks come with “Be careful” notes, and one page lists the cleaning products you should never mix.
- The paintings and album pictures are artistic images made to bring the stories to life.
A little note from Carmen
Thank you for watching my videos, mi amor. If you have a question about the book, or a trick your own mother taught you, write to me. I like to read them with my coffee.
