Freebie of the Month from NotebookingPages.com: Spring Pages for Mom's Home Journal

From NotebookingPages.com:

"Inside this sampling, you'll find pages I am using in my own Home Journal... You'll find cover and spine art for your notebook as well as some of the basic templates I use for Menu Planning, Financial Record Keeping, and General House Cleaning (samples of how I use the templates are included). All of the pages have been decorated with fantastic spring-themed art. I have included two types of divider pages, by days of the week and by types of tasks (homeschooling, financial, business, ministry, etc.). There are also a variety of "to-do" type pages, calendar pages, journal pages, & more."

The Penny Pantry: Money Saving Strategies for Building a Gigantic Home Pantry for Pennies!

Here is a brand new e-book by homeschooling mother of 8, Bethany Vaughn. At 75 pages long this book is packed with information on how to drastically slash your grocery bill (thereby leaving more room in your budget for books heh, heh.;-)) while stocking a large pantry.

The book is well laid out and covers a range of ways to reduce spending from couponing (which Bethany explains in very helpful detail) to buying in bulk. I also appreciated the fact that she makes it clear that one can still eat healthy,whole foods on a small budget.

The book is currently on sale here for $9.95, but is well worth the non-sale price of $14.95 as well. Be sure to subscribe to Bethany's new blog

Chore Card System

Recently, I have been praying for ideas for a good, but simple, chore system for our young ones. Tonight I came across this wonderful and inexpensive idea for chore cards. This is exactly what I've been looking for and is so simple I feel a bit sheepish that I didn't think of it on my own. ;-).

I can't wait to get this system up and running and am thanking the Lord for answering my prayer.
