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.

Stock Up on Christmas Clearance to Repurpose Throughout the Year

December 26, 2013 By: amyswandering1 Comment

repurposing christmas clearance
This time of year, shelves & shelves of Christmas fun are marked down 50-75% off. Put on your creative thinking cap and you can stock up for several holidays to come.

Christmas food can be stored for future holidays:

  • Holiday M&Ms can be sorted and bagged to be used for Valentine’s Day & St. Patrick’s Day
  • Divide up things like sprinkles & icing from baking kits
  • Candy canes make adorable Valentine treats when put in the oven
  • Chocolate candy and stocking stuffers are good for Easter baskets – many items have Christmas packaging, but just take them out of the package

Christmas decorations can be used for all sorts of things:

  • New Year’s Eve- shiny tinsel to drape everywhere, silver or gold tablecloths
  • January- we leave our non-Christmasy snowmen and snowflakes out for the whole month
  • Valentine’s Day – heart decorations, red ribbon, red tablecloth, napkins, plates, cups
  • St. Patrick’s Day – green tablecloths, napkins, plates, cups
  • Easter – crosses, anything pastel, cellophane for baskets
  • Fourth of July – anything red, white, blue or silver – tablecloths, plates, napkins, cups, strings of lights, garland, anything with stars on it
  • Birthday parties – candy & toys for goody bags, non-Christmasy gift bags & wrapping paper. Target will have a major toy clearance in January so you can stock up on gifts too.

Snag a few gift sets for:

  • upcoming birthday gifts
  • Easter baskets
  • Mother’s Day & Father’s Day
  • party favors – lip gloss, character figurines
  • craft projects (bead kits, etc.)
  • everyday use – razors, shower gel, lotion, Burt’s Bees sets, sauces & seasonings
  • homeschool activities – model kits, experiments

A few more everyday items to grab:

  • candles
  • tissue paper
  • blank cards & envelopes
  • baskets
  • napkins & plates
  • flannel sheets
  • ribbon
  • dishes – a couple years a go I bought a set of plain ivory dishes for 12, gravy boats, and platters at Walmart for around $30

Get a head start on next year with:

  • wrapping paper and bows
  • containers for homemade goodies
  • Christmas cards – get them filled out over the summer
  • Christmas pajamas, shirts, and socks

I also like to venture out when the clearance gets down to 80-90% off. The selection is smaller, but I always find some fun goodies at Michaels to kick off the next Christmas season. I love being able to hand my kids a basket full of craft supplies & kits and truly not care what they do with it because it cost me less than $5!
