This is your very last chance… it ends at midnight! and more...



Here's what's new: This is your very last chance… it ends at midnight! Free Strong Family Project Printable Pack This Week’s Freezer Cooking (yes, I’m *finally* back to it again!) This is your very last chance… it ends at midnight! If you missed it a few weeks ago, you have one final chance to purchase the Ultimate Homemaking Bundle! It’s back on a Flash Sale — but only through midnight tonight. After tonight, the package of amazing resources (over 93 ebooks & ecourses + bonuses!) will never be offered as a bundle again.  If you haven’t really paid attention to the Homemaking Bundle Sale thinking it wasn’t for you, or you’ve been feeling like you didn’t really have time to investigate whether it was a good deal, or maybe you’ve been thinking about getting it but you’re on the fence as to whether it’s worth the investment. Today, I wanted to share 8 reasons why I absolutely LOVED the Ultimate Homemaking Bundle — and why I think it’s very worth the price ($29.97). I hope that this will help you decide whether investing in this bundle is right for you. (Note: If you are not in a financial place to purchase the Ultimate Homemaking Bundle, will you do me a huge favor and just skip this post? The last thing I want to do is to encourage you to buy something that you can't afford.) Reason #1: When You Purchase, You’ll Get FREE Access to the Cozy Minimalist Mom Course I already sung the praises of The Nester and this course, but I couldn’t help mention it again! This course is so simple, but it's packed with helpful advice and wise encouragement. I especially love that it's coming from a mom who has three boys and who has survived and lived to tell about it. This course has 10 videos that teach her Core Concepts (and I promise, so much of it will be stuff that you've not read in other Organized Home type books!) + 10 videos with a young mom. It's a very balanced course that offers practical perspective no matter what ages or stages your children are at. The course is self-paced and you’ll get access to all the videos and projects as soon as you sign up for it. This course itself usually retails for $29 — the price of the entire bundle! Reason #2: When You Purchase, You Get to Choose a FREE Craftsy Class of Your Choice I feel like there's so much value in constantly learned and growing as a person. I don't ever want to become stagnant. And that's why I'm always trying new things, reading new books, and attempting to learn new skills. When you purchase the Homemaking Bundle, you get a FREE Craftsy Class of your choice — up to a $40 value! There are 24 difference classes to choose from on topics like: Cake Decorating, Food & Cooking, Gardening, Knitting, Slip Covers, Photography, Sewing, and more. With the Craftsy class, you can learn a new skill or improve in a skill you already know — from the comfort of your own home on your own time table. You might end up turning this skill into a part-time business or just use it as a way to bless others or refuel your own tank. The cost of one of these courses is usually $40 — $10 more than the cost of this entire bundle! Reason #3: When You Purchase, You’ll Get Access to Beautiful Coloring Pages You know I love me some adult coloring! So I was really excited when I found out that there are 3 different downloadable adult coloring books included as part of the Homemaking Bundle. I already printed out some of the pages and am excited to start coloring them! Reason #4: When You Purchase, You’ll Get Access to Tsh Oxenreider’s Upstream Field Guide Course I’m pumped about this because I’d been wanting to go through Tsh’s course! I love Tsh’s blog and have learned a lot from her over the years. I guess it was a good thing that I waited, because it meant I got a GREAT deal on her course — as in, it’s part of this bundle! Here’s the information on the course: If you feel overwhelmed by all the messages about how you should live your life, then join me as we paddle upstream to calmer, deeper waters. It's time to leave behind our culture's expectations and find out who you are, and what your purpose is. It's time to pick up your paddle. Wherever you're coming from in life, you have an inner map to guide you on your best path. It's meant to give you courage, determination, hope, and a strategy. It makes paddling upstream a whole lot easier. Let's unearth that map. I already signed up for the course and started in on the first lesson and am very impressed with it, as I was sure I would be! This course is usually $59, but you can get the Upstream Field Guide course + the entire Homemaking Bundle for just $29 — through the end of today only! Reason #5: When You Purchase, You’ll Get Fantastic Work-At-Home Resources! I receive many emails from women wanting to find a way to earn an income from home. I also receive many emails from moms who have a home business and are struggling with figuring out how to juggle everything. The good news? This course has ebooks to help you with both. I’m especially excited about Abby Lawson’s book, Building a Framework: The Ultimate Blogging Handbook. If you’ve ever thought about starting a blog or you have a blog and you want to figure out how to make it more successful, you MUST read this book. It’s one of the best books on blogging I’ve ever read! These resources may be some of the most valuable resources in the whole bundle. Why? Because they might teach you ways to earn 5-10 times what you spent on the bundle — every. single. month. Now that's what I call a good return on your investment! Reason #6: It Will Save You Money on Gifts For Others One of my very favorite things about the Homemaking Bundle is that you are allowed to gift any resources or bonuses you don't plan on using or reading. Yes, you read that right! So if you only are interested in 10 of the ebooks, 2 of the courses, and 2 of the bonuses, you can give all the others away! You could use these as gifts for a friend's birthday or an upcoming special occasion. You could split them up as gifts for multiple friends. Or, you could just share them as a way to bless someone who is interested in healthy living. The bonuses would especially make great gifts! When you purchase the bundle, you'll get a FREE $15 Credit to Hope Ink PLUS 2 FREE 8×10 Art Prints and a FREE Mrs. Meyer’s gift set from Grove Collaborative — both items that would make great gifts! If you used three of the bonuses/ebooks as gifts for friends for upcoming occasions, that could pay for the cost of the bundle itself — because you wouldn't need to spend any money (but the cost of shipping) on gifts for those three occasions! Reason #7: You’ll Get FREE Motivated Moms Chore Planner + a Sweet Life Planner If you love printable planners or are looking for a really great chore/household planner, you are in for a treat! When you purchase the Homemaking Bundle, you’ll get access to both the Motivated Moms Chore Planner + the Sweet Life Planner. I’ve used and loved the Motivated Moms Planner in the past and wholeheartedly recommend it if you’re looking for a planner that will tell you exactly what you should do on what days and make it very simple to keep your home and life in order! Reason #8: It's a Risk-Free Purchase With a Money-Back Guarantee! If you are still sitting on the fence right now wondering whether or not you should take the plunge and buy the Ultimate Homemaking Bundle, here's why you should: it's a risk-free purchase. That's right! There's a 100% money-back guarantee on it for up to 30 days! So if you purchase it and then decide it's not as helpful as you'd hoped or that it's not worth the price you paid, you can get a full refund — no questions asked. So what are you waiting for? Through tomorrow at midnight only, you can get all of these items listed + much more (93 different ebooks, courses, and printables total + some cool bonuses) for just $29.97 total! This huge library of resources has something for pretty much everyone! It covers homemaking, mothering, DIY-ing, your marriage, organizing, budgeting, making money from home, plus much more!

So, as you may have noticed, after years of being a big advocate of Freezer Cooking, I had sort of fallen off the bandwagon. Well, “sort of fallen off the bandwagon” isn’t even close to accurate. I fell off hard and didn’t even attempt to get back up on the bandwagon. I kind of just laid on the side of the road and tried to pretend I wasn’t once such a hardcore freezer cooking proponent. I could state a dozen different reasons why I stopped freezer cooking, but the truth of the matter is that I let other things take a higher priority. And since Jesse’s been doing so much of the cooking, we’ve been surviving just fine without me regularly stocking the freezer. However, now that summer is here, school is finished, and I feel like I have more breathing room in our schedule, the freezer cooking itch resurfaced again. For a little while, I tried to ignore the itch. But then I thought of all the yummy things I used to stock the freezer with. And, well, my appetite got the better of me and I came to my senses and realized that I should stop ignoring the itch and actually get up and do something about it. So I looked through the refrigerator, cupboards, and freezer and made a real freezer cooking list. And I felt all domestic and homemaker-y just by writing the list. {Of course, I’m one of those weird people who just absolutely adores list-writing and lists. They make me so happy!} Here’s what I put on this list: Southwest Rollups Berry Crisp Make Ahead Mac & Cheese Freeze Strawberries for Smoothies Freezer-Friendly PB&J Sandwiches Italian Chicken Barbecued Chicken (not listed; I made it for dinner that night) I made the Barbecued Chicken first because I wanted to get it in the oven for dinner. This is literally the easiest recipe on the planet. A bottle of barbecue sauce dumped over chicken breasts. (I used frozen chicken breasts and stuck it all straight in the oven. Which meant it had to cook longer and probably goes against all the cooking rules. But whatever. I’m a cooking rebel like that. ;)) You can also cook this in the crockpot or on the grill. It’s yummy however you cook it! Berries have been on sale at Aldi and elsewhere recently, so we’ve been in berry heaven around here. We had some extras and I wanted to freeze them for smoothies. Why? Because my kids down smoothies in summer like their life depends upon it! Okay, I sort of lied. Because I told you Barbecued Chicken was the easiest recipe on the planet. Except, I think Italian Chicken might tie for first place when it comes to the Easiest Recipes on the Planet Contest. {If there really was such a contest, you know that I could enter pretty much all my recipes in it. Because, well, I’m the cook who likes one-bowl recipes with fewer than seven ingredients and two steps, thank you very much!} This recipe is such a winner and every time I serve it to people they rave about it. And then I’m kind of embarrassed when they ask me for the recipe. People always wonder how I can make so many different recipes in such a short amount of time. Well, it’s because my “recipes” are so crazy easy that we probably shouldn’t even call them recipes. But they are food that my people eat and love and that I make with ingredients (even if there are only two or three of said ingredients!), so that qualifies them as “recipes”, right? {If you just said “wrong”, please don’t tell me. I don’t want to be wrong! I never like to be wrong, ever, but especially not if it means I have to start using multiple bowls and steps and ingredients I can’t pronounce. No, ma’am!} This Southwest Rollups recipe has been a family favorite since the beginning of our marriage. It’s easy (of course!), frugal, and filling.  I got lazy and decided to change things up a little this time around. Instead of rolling up the filling inside the tortillas, I tried making it like a sort of Southwest Rollup Lasagna. It was super easy, but we haven’t tasted it yet to see if we like it this way or not. (That’s the only downside to posting about my freezer cooking the week I cook… We haven’t actually tried everything yet! Because the point of freezer cooking is so I have things in the freezer for later! ;)) I think it will work well, but it does kind of negate the whole “being able to pop a rollup in the microwave at any time of the day or night” thing that the usual way of making the recipe allows you to. However, I don’t think my family will complain. Plus, it will guarantee that no one sneaks rollups without me knowing about it and then me going to serve my family rollups and finding that they are all G-O-N-E! Don’t ask me how many times that has happened! I loved this Mac & Cheese recipe so much that I had to write a whole post swooning over it already. You can go read it here. And I made Freezer-Friendly PB&J Sandwiches — a perfect thing to have in the freezer on busy summer days! I even did a quick video about it because so many people have asked me about this “recipe” recently. Watch the video here. And I saved the best for last! This Berry Crisp is amazing. Amazing, I tell you. (I used blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries. I also added some almonds to the crust and used flour instead of almond meal.) Truth be told, I had no plans to put this beauty in the freezer. It was going straight into my stomach as soon as it was done. I had it for dessert last night and then again for breakfast this morning. I told myself it was basically like eating a bowl of oatmeal with fruit. Ahem. {I’m so good at justifying eating dessert for breakfast. I mean, don’t you know that chocolate cake is basically like eating a cupcake which is basically like a muffin? And muffins are healthy and 100% breakfast food. Therefore, you can totally eat chocolate cake for breakfast! ;)} So there you have the full scoop on my freezer cooking from this week! It felt so good to be making ahead food in the kitchen and it feels SO good to have food at-the-ready in the freezer. Now tell me, why on earth did I ever think it was okay to fall off the Freezer Cooking bandwagon?? I have no idea… but I can tell you this: I’ve hopped back up on the train and plan to be sharing lots more freezer cooking posts with you in the coming weeks and months!
