Truly you all, I am VERY excited to share the Ultimate Homemaking Bundle sale with you! There is SO much included in the bundle (including the Weekly Homeschool Planner) – and I know that the bundle will be a HUGE blessing to many of you! I’ve been adding ebooks to my iPad and really enjoying some new (to me) authors and resources.

This week I’ve had a chance to preview the bundle and trust me – you are going to want to pinch pennies and take advantage of this sale!

A Few You Will Love (Because I Do!)

Before sharing the entire list of what is included in the Ultimate Homemaking Bundle, I want to share a few things that you might find helpful as a homeschooler and mom. Many of these are ones that I have personally read, used, and love – or know the ladies who created them.

• Weekly Homeschool Planner ($20)
• Discipleship & Discipline: Practical Parenting Help for the Desperate Mom eCourse ($17.99)
• The Busy Homeschool Mom’s Guide to Daylight: Managing Your Days Through the Homeschool Years  ($10.00)
• You Can Read ($10.00)
• The Preschool Journey ($6.99)
• 21 Days to a More Disciplined Life  ($4.99)
• The Homemaker’s Guide to Creating the Perfect Schedule ($4.99)
• Steady Days: A Journey Toward Intentional, Professional Motherhood  ($9.55)
• 101 Independent Activities for Toddlers and Preschoolers ($4.99)

The Discipleship & Discipline class with Sally Clarkson (which I would HIGHLY recommend!!) together with my Weekly Homeschool Planner are valued at more than the bundle sale price! Together all of the above books are worth more than $75 – this really is such a GREAT deal!

What’s in the Ultimate Homemaking Bundle? ($698 value!)

Don’t let the word ‘homemaking’ fool you or scare you away or the ‘bundle’ part overwhelm you! There are a LOT of ebooks included in the bundle, and many of are ones that you will find helpful for different areas of your life, including parenting, cooking, marriage, homeschooling, and more.

Balancing everyday life while homeschooling can be tough, so here are some resources to help you along the way – as you teach, raise your kids, and grow as a mom and wife! I’m confident you won’t find a more comprehensive set of homemaking resources anywhere — and certainly not at this price.

• A LARGE library – over $675 value for less than $30 in one single purchase
• Bonuses worth over $200 from some amazing companies (see below)
• 78 eBooks, 2 eCourses, 2 audio files, and 2 printable packs – 35 cents a piece!
• Books from over 100 authors and bloggers.
• The option to purchase two and get another one free – that’s 3 for the price of 2 (making each bundle less than $20 each)

This bundle will only be available for SIX days (ends 4/28).

Grab yours before it’s gone!

It’s homeschool convention season! Are you ready and planning to attend any?  Personally, I LOVE this time of year because it gives me a hands-on look at curriculum, a chance to hear some fabulous speakers, gain lots of inspiration and ideas, recharge for the rest of the year – and prep for the upcoming year as well.

This year I am so excited (and nervous!) to be speaking at three locations with Teach Them Diligently: Nashville, TN: Spartansburg, SC; and Washington, DC. I’d love to meet you at one!

A peek at the sessions that I will be sharing:

Tips for Attending a Homeschool Convention

There are definitely a few things to consider before packing up and heading out to a convention – especially to make sure you get the MOST out of it! Last year I shared my ten tips for attending a homeschool convention. You can read the full post here, but this is the nutshell version:

1. Determine your budget before you go.
2. Bring your spouse or a friend.
3. Review the speaker and workshop schedule before you arriving.
4. Attend workshops and take notes.
5. Ask lots of questions!
6. Make a list of what you are looking for and know the prices before heading out the door.
7. Bring a rolling cart or something to haul around all of your goodies.
8. Register ahead of time (and save money!).
9. Wear comfortable shoes.
10. Take a deep breath, relax, and enjoy it!

Are you taking the time to attend a homeschool convention this year? Where will you be going? (and if it’s one of the ones I’ll be at – I’d love to meet you!)
