"I've learned my best tips from others...
and so can you!"
.........................Vicki Lansky

Feed Me I'm Yours, my first book, began as a local fund raising cookbook in 1974 and turned me into an author. I thought it was the only book I'd ever write and then for a while, I thought that each new book would be my last. Was I wrong!

    When you write parenting books, everyone glances critically at your children. Thank goodness mine had the good grace to turn out well. Despite my mistakes (and they'll be the first to point them out) my thirty-something twosome have survived and thrived in spite of having had a "professional" mother. Lucky me!

I think my mother would be astonished to know that I give out cleaning and household advice to millions of people as a columnist for Family Circle magazine. After all, she—not I—had made a career of homemaking.

    In 1988, when Family Circle asked me to be a contributing editor to their "Help" column, I was delighted. This would be a place for me to share "grown-up" tips. I was now moving beyond the days of needing to know that peanut butter removes gum from children's hair!


    Writing about household hints has been more of an education than I ever dreamt. I'm often asked what my favorite tip is. Usually it's the one I've not heard before, which is what keeps my work so interesting.


    Along the way I also became a publisher. Feed Me I'm Yours was first published from my husband's and my home on Meadowbrook Lane (i.e., Meadowbrook Press). Our company grew very fast as we learned the publishing business. After our divorce 8 years later, I left Meadowbook Press with no plans of being a publisher again. However, as the books I wrote for others went out of print, I established my own imprint, Book Peddlers, which now publishes over half of my 30 titles.

In 1996 I published my first non-VL title: The Littlest Christmas Tree by Janie Jasin which turned into a wonderful success story selling over 300,000 copies. Book Peddlers publishes other new titles by others now. I plan to keep my publishing company small, but it does seem to keep growing.

    Through my Practical Parentingª mail order catalog here electronically, (all that remains of a parenting newsletter I published between 1979 and 1987), I make sure that all my titles are always available. When you can't find them elsewhere or you prefer to order by mail, you'll find them here. If you'd rather have a hard copy of the catalog send me your request with your snail-mail address to DearVicki@aol.com

These books can be ordered from Practical Parenting by calling 1-800-255-3379. Or just click on the "shopping cart" words near the title you'd like and it will take you directly to our shopping site and we will ship you your request.
