Is It Time to Tweak Your Homemaking Routines?

  • 5

When I was in college, I knocked the heel off my favorite pair of ballet flats in my rush to get to class. Since I didn’t have much time or money during that season of my life, I continued to wear the shoes for the rest of the semester, despite the mismatched heels.

The tops of the shoes still looked brand new and my pants hung down low enough to cover the backs, so I didn’t figure anyone would notice the difference.

And nobody did, until I had to see an orthopedic surgeon a few months later because of excruciating back pain. I’d tried Tylenol, Advil, Icy Hot, core-strengthening exercises, a firmer mattress. Nothing helped.

Fearing I might need a series of steroid injections or possibly even back surgery, my dad made the doctor’s appointment for me. Fortunately for all of us, I wore my favorite flats to my first appointment. The doctor had barely even begun his
examination of my back when he noticed the missing heel on my shoe and correctly identified that as the source of my problems.

His prescription? Throw my old shoes away and spend ten bucks on a new pair. So that’s what I did, and guess what? Within a day or two, my back felt as good as new. Problem solved. Who would have guessed that 3/8ths of an inch could make such a huge difference?

I’ve had similar things happen in other areas of my life, including marriage, parenting, housekeeping, and time management. Some problems require major overhauls in the way we approach them, but more often than not, small tweaks deliver incredible results.

Even after 30+ years of marriage and parenting, I’m constantly on the lookout for new tweaks and smarter ways to do my job. That’s one reason I buy The Ultimate Homemaking Bundle every year: it is always full of fresh ideas for managing well the things that matter most.

If you are anything like me, you want to a lead beautiful, joyful, meaningful life. You want your home to feel organized, functional and inviting. You want to be loving and intentional about the time you spend with your family. You want to be continually learning and growing and improving.

All of these things are good. But that doesn’t make them easy. The reality is, we can all use a little help along the way, from women who have strengths in areas where we struggle or who are a little further down the road than we are.

  • What if you could learn organizing and decluttering methods to keep your household running smoothly most of the time?
  • What if you could find strategies for balancing all the roles you need to fill – without going crazy and without compromising what’s most important to you?
  • What if you had meal planning help, and could serve your family quick & healthy meals?
  • What if you found ideas to improve your relationships – your faith, your marriage, and your parenting?
  • And what if you could find the support you need to create an intentional home and life – one that falls in line with your values and dreams?

Well, you can. ?The Ultimate Homemaking Bundle is a digital library of resources and tools to help you in all these areas and more!

It includes products like eBooks, online courses, printables and planners, audio files, membership sites and more, crammed into one unbelievable collection, for a ridiculously low price.

Ultimate Bundles creates a lot of different bundles, but this particular one has been running for 6 years (with brand new products each year!). It’s their most popular bundle EVER — well over 100,000 women have picked one up since 2013.

I love working with this family-run company because they care so much about the value and quality of each bundle and their customer service is amazing.

This year’s edition is the biggest and most valuable yet! It includes:

  • 62 ebooks (including a copy of my own Sit Down & Eat: Fun Ideas for Making Mealtimes Memorable)
  • 30 videos, audios, & eCourses
  • 34 printables & workbooks
  • and 3 membership sites

There’s only one catch: It’s available for just six days only. That’s how they convince all these amazing bloggers and product creators to include their products for so little!

For way less than the cost of an “oops” Target shopping trip, you’ll get a complete library to help you:

  • Achieve better balance and manage your schedule more efficiently
  • Declutter your home (and actually keep it that way!)
  • Create 100 frugal recipes with a pantry of just 26 ingredients
  • Conquer screen-time battles, and help kids learn coping strategies for stress, anxiety
    & anger
  • Print out gorgeous planners so you can stay organized in style
  • Rekindle the romance with a plan for everyday passion in your marriage
  • Refresh your wardrobe with 64 days of mix-and-match outfit ideas for every season of the year
    and so much more!

Plus, it comes with over $180 worth of bonus offers from companies you’ll love (this is one of my favorite parts). Order before midnight tomorrow (April 12) and you’ll get an early bird bonus from Get Your Pretty On worth an extra $39:

Here’s how it works:

  1. Visit their website, take a quick look at all the goodness that comes in this package, then click the “Get my copy now!” button to go through their simple and secure 3-step checkout process.
  2. You’ll receive an email with a login to their online access portal, where you’ll begin downloading your eBooks, signing up for your eCourses, and redeeming your free bonus offers.
  3. Use their Getting Started Guide to pick the topic you want to tackle first and start your stress-less homemaking journey!

The most important detail, though, is this bundle is available for just six days! After Monday night, April 16th, the sale ends and you’d have to buy all of these products individually.

I’d hate for you to miss out, so CLICK HERE to learn more or buy the bundle.

It’s even backed by a 100% happiness guarantee, so you can make sure it’s right for you.

Creating a home and life you love is not out of reach. Learn more or get your bundle HERE

Animal Farm. If you look closely enough, you can s Animal Farm. If you look closely enough, you can see Old Major in the barn addressing Boxer, Clover, Benjamin, Muriel, Jessie, Bluebell, Snowball, Squealer, Napoleon, and all the others. Abby arranged this scene  herself — proof that she was paying close attention when I read George Orwell’s classic aloud to my kids last week.  It has been more than 75 years since Orwell first penned this political fable, yet it remains as relevant today as ever. Wish our elected officials who seem so inexplicably enamored with Socialism would take time to read and ponder its message.  #fourlegsgood #twolegsbetter #flandersfamilyreads

I’m a list-maker by nature, and I’ve tried to I’m a list-maker by nature, and I’ve tried to teach my kids the value of making lists, as well.  For instance, sometimes when they’ve continued to squabble or butt heads even after I’ve called them down, I’ll send them to opposite corners of the house with a list-making assignment:  ✅ “Describe 3 better ways you could’ve responded in that situation than the one you chose.”  ✅ “Write down 5 things you love and appreciate about your sister. “  ✅ “List 10 ways you could show kindness to your brother. “  With that last one, I’d follow up by telling them to choose a different idea off their list every day for the next 10 days and do it.  Gradually, over time, those kind, loving deeds became their default behavior. And as a bonus, the kids not only learned to be kind to one another, but showed similar courtesies to friends, other family members, and strangers, alike.  Want to be more loving to the people God has placed in your life? Brainstorm ways to show kindness to them. Because love is kind.  #happyvalentinesday #bekind

What does patient love look like? It takes time to What does patient love look like? It takes time to listen. It doesn’t tap its toes, drum its  fingers, check its watch, or roll its eyes.  It doesn’t act irritated or annoyed when the object of its love needs time or attention. Patient love is selfless and long suffering — just as God is with us.  As Christians, this is the kind of love God calls us to demonstrate to our spouse, our children, our neighbors, and even our enemies — a constant, unruffled love that bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. A love that would be quite impossible apart from the endless grace and indwelling power of God.  #goals #radicallove

Jesus bids us, “ Continue in my love.” (John 1 Jesus bids us, “ Continue in my love.” (John 15:9) And what exactly does Christ’s kind of love look like?  He sums it up for us in Luke 6:27-28: “Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who despitefully use you.”  The good news is, we don’t have to look far for an opportunity to put this command into practice. Nor must we do any of this in our own strength.  God’s empowering grace enables us to forgive offenders, to extend kindness in response to rudeness, to show mercy to the unmerciful, and to point  unbelievers to a Savor who sees them, knows them, and loves them enough to die for them.  #jesuslovesme #thisiknow #forthebibletellsmeso
