When they named The Ultimate Homemaking Ebook Bundle, they weren’t kidding about the “ultimate” part. The collection of 97 ebooks covers a huge range of topics including: mothering, organization and cleaning, recipes and kitchen helps, [...]
Today’s post is a fun gift basket giveaway! If you know me, you aren’t be surprised my give-away is tea-themed. This gift includes: polka-dot tea mug (teacups are cute but mugs hold more tea!) tea samples from two of my favorite tea shops infuser ball for loose-leaf tea tea measuring spoon mini notebook (because my [...]
Many items on my list of gifts for neighbors are homemade because of cost-effectiveness, but also because homemade gifts seem more from-the-heart. However, keeping in mind the hectic pace of the season, I’ve also included some non-homemade gifts! Either way, I hope you’ll find some great ideas here that you can use to bless your [...]
The apple barns in north Georgia have just finished having their annual festivals, so it’s the perfect time of year for this apple muffin recipe. These muffins go over well in our house, even with picky eaters. Sometimes we eat them for breakfast, or sometimes just a yummy mid-day snack. Apple Oat Muffins Ingredients: 2 [...]
I’m working towards making our home more creativity-encouraging. Part of my plan involves providing plenty of art and craft supplies — and making it easy to find things, and easy to put them away! A major step towards that goal was finding a chest of drawers to store art/craft supplies neatly but out of sight [...]
I love antiques. I love the style of new furniture that looks antique, but I love the real thing even more. I think my fondness for these old things comes from knowing they have a rich history. I’ve been on the hunt for some sort of cabinet for the breakfast area so I’d have a [...]
You know that runner’s high people talk about? Or even a shopper’s high? I don’t get those (because I don’t run and I’d just feel guilty if I went on a big shopping spree), but I do get a sort of euphoria from a seriously clean and organized home. In fact, clutter makes me temporarily [...]
It’s spring, y’all, and here in Georgia, we are evidently high achievers because we’ve had record-breaking high temps and record-breaking high pollen counts, even before spring officially sprung! We’re already having to mow the lawn, too, or else Lacy the WonderDog will get lost out there in the tall grass (and weeds). The other day, [...]
I’m always on the lookout for relatively easy handicrafts we can do around here, but I’m sometimes short on ideas. Do you ever have that problem? Anyway, I’m sharing today about our latest handiwork projects at Raising Homemakers. This is something you can do with your daughters even if you aren’t a homemaking/handiwork pro — [...]
Over our Christmas break, I began a mass war-on-clutter/organize-my-life project. I’m not one to make “new year’s” resolutions, but it seems like the holidays are a time of year I end up pondering what has been going well, and what changes I ought to make in the fresh new year. This year, the two words [...]
A few weeks before the end of the year, I started a list of all those things I intend to do but usually forget when I actually have a bit of free time. Most were in some way related to organizing and/or de-cluttering. After Christmas, I didn’t have many other obligations, and Ken was at [...]
It’s coming! The holidays will be upon us SOON! Are you ready? I’m not entirely ready, but I always start planning our family’s Christmas cards way in advance. Memories of my grandparent’s home covered in the Christmas cards they received each year impressed upon me the delight of receiving holiday cards from family and friends, [...]
