Using the Ultimate Homemaking Bundle as Curriculum

April 28, 2014 By: amyswanderingcomment

Have you purchased your Ultimate Homemaking Bundle? Today is the last day!

{See the Complete List of ebooks HERE}

I am having such a good time looking through mine and working out different ways to use it throughout the year. Here are a few of the ideas I’ve come up with so far:

Homemaking Curriculum – These are the titles my dd16 & dd15 will enjoy. I want to send them out of our home and into their own fully prepared. They love to make healthy snacks and desserts, so I think I know which two ebooks will be read first. 😉

  • Hospitality: The Duty of the Christian Home by Kathy @ Teaching Good Things ($4.97)
  • Sewing School 101: Simple Tips to Get You Stitching by Nicole @ Gidget Goes Home ($11.99)
  • Taming the Laundry Monster by Angi @ SchneiderPeeps ($3.99)
  • Bliss Balls for Beginners: 21 Recipes to Get You Started by Luschka @ Keeper of the Kitchen ($3.50)
  • Just Making Ice Cream: Over 70 Delicious Recipes Made with Nourishing Ingredients – 2nd edition by Marillyn @ Just Making Noise ($12.00)
  • Meal Planning Made Easy by Kelly @ The Nourishing Home ($6.99)
  • No Cook Freezer Meals by Kelly @ New Leaf Wellness ($5.99)
  • The ABC’s of Freezer Cooking by K.M. @ KMLogan.com ($2.99)
  • Real Food on a Real Budget: How to Eat Healthy for Less by Stephanie @ Keeper of the Home ($18.97)
  • Advanced Penny Pinching: Stockpile – Strategize – Save by Tabitha @ Meet Penny ($3.99)
  • My Simple Healthy Life: A Minimalist Approach to Herbal Remedies, Beauty & Natural Cleaning by Tammie @ Simple. Healthy. Tasty. ($5.95)

MY Curriculum – I am continually learning as well, looking for ways to improve and grow. I can’t wait to dive into these:

  • Discipleship & Discipline: Practical Parenting Help for the Desperate Mom eCourse by Sally Clarkson and Sarah Mae ($17.99).
  • Steady Days: A Journey Toward Intentional, Professional Motherhood by Jamie @ Steady Mom ($9.55)
  • The Homemaker’s Guide to Creating the Perfect Schedule by Amy @ Raising Arrows ($4.99)
  • Filling Hearts While Cleaning Homes: Five Minute Devotions for Families by Jenn Thorson & Lindsey Stomberg ($8.00)
  • The Frugal Secrets of Real Foodies by Shannon Miles, Sarah Nichols, Kristen Smith, Kate Tietje, and Katherine (Katie Mae) Stanley ($9.97)
  • How To Manage Your Mouth: A 30 Day Wholesome Talk Challenge by Connie @ Smockity Frocks ($5.97)
  • Cash Flow Your College: Knowledge in Your Head Without Getting in the Red by Kayla @ Renown and Crowned ($2.99)
  • Simple Natural Health: Wellness Made Easy by Nina @ Shalom Mama ($10.00)
  • Feast! Real Food, Reflections, and Simple Living for the Christian Year by Daniel & Haley @ Carrots for Michaelmas ($7.99)
  • Equipped: Because You’ve Been Made to Live On Purpose by Elisa @ More to Be ($6.99)
  • Your Retreat: A Guide to Giving Yourself a Personal Planning Day by Erin @ The Humbled Homemaker
  • Monkey See, Monkey Do: A Tutorial to Using PicMonkey with Professional Results by Richele @ Under the Golden Apple Tree ($8.00)
  • The Blog Planning Kit: A System to Maximize Your Blogging Efforts by Kat @ How They Blog ($15.00)

That’s around $200 for the ebooks I just listed, which are only about one third of the ebooks in the set. This list doesn’t include the ones I will use with my younger kids, like More Than a Holiday: A 25-Day Christmas Devotional for the Whole Family and More Than Candy: A 25-Day Christmas Countdown that Counts. And it only cost me $29.97!

Don’t forget the gift possibilities! Any ebooks or bonus offers that I don’t want can be given away. I love the idea of loading them onto a pretty USB flash drive necklace for gift-giving.

Add Some Seasonal Fun to Dinnertime + Giveaway

February 15, 2014 By: amyswandering1 Comment

My family loves to put together fun dinners for each holiday! We plan out the menu, decorate with a bit of whimsy, and sometimes invite friends over to join in the celebration.

You don’t have to spend a lot of money or time on your festive meal. Dollar Tree and Target’s Dollar Spot are great places to pick up table scatter or confetti, paper plates & napkins, and some festive decor like garlands and streamers.

We hang swirly cutouts from our chandelier.

I will use St.Patrick’s Day to give you an idea of what one of our seasonal dinners looks like. Green is the name of the game! It is a minor holiday to some, but Hubby and I lived in Dublin for a year before we got married and we make a big deal out of it.

Here are some ideas to create a festive atmosphere:

  • Make a Leprechaun Trap
  • Cover the table with a shamrock tablecloth
  • Grow some Shamrocks (best to start by the end of February)
  • Turn a green plastic derby hat upside down and use it for a bread basket
  • Glue together some Paper Shamrocks for a centerpiece
  • Do some St. Patrick’s Day Mad Libs
  • Wear green (of course!)

We have the same meal every year: Beef in Guinness, Cabbage and Bacon, Boiled Potatoes, and Irish Brown Bread. After dinner, we have tea with imported biscuits (cookies) and sweets (candy) that we buy in the British foods section at the grocery store. We eat these while having a rousing sing-along with our High Kings DVD.

To start off your St.Patrick’s Day dinner tradition, I would love to give one of you this beautiful Irish Shamrock Table Runner.

My Word of the Year

January 23, 2012 By: amyswandering4 Comments

Last year was my first time to name the year.

It was a perfect fit for 2011.

As the new year rolled around, themes started running through my head.

I once again asked God to show me and He was quick to reply.

S-T-R-E-T-C-H

Oh how appropriate … and oh how uncomfortable!!

The ideas started tumbling in my head.

I want to STRETCH …

… my FAITH

  • give Christ His rightful position as ruler of my time
  • encourage others with the Word of God
  • banish the fears I still carry around after losing a child

… my BLOG

  • share more of our daily life
  • cheer on homeschooling moms
  • build up community

… my FINANCES

  • play the Drugstore Game
  • start selling at consignment sales
  • drag myself out of bed early on Saturdays to hit the garage sales

… my HABITS

  • continue our shift towards whole foods
  • 30 minutes of exercise 5 days a week
  • force myself into an earlier bedtime

… my HOMEMAKING

  • scatter scripture throughout our home
  • decorate for my family, not for a design mag
  • shop my house and re-purpose what we have

… my CREATIVITY

  • start doodling
  • learn how to quill
  • put my new watercolor pencils to use

… my COMFORT ZONE

  • offer guidance to a group of future homeschoolers
  • teach a Couponing 101 class
  • promote my husband’s business

I hope that posting this long list will hold me accountable (gulp)!!

Did you name your year?

Please leave a link to your post, or tell us in the comments.

I would love to know!!
