Journey Companion to CTBHH
As I was doing some deep cleaning, I discovered that I still have several cases of these journal books. I would like to get these sold to make room for… um… make room.
Cmomb sells these books at just $1 profit over our cost. Not only are they less expensive than anywhere else, but they come Priority Mail, as well. (I’m sorry. We are not shipping out of the US.) I would love nothing more than to give you a discount to get these out, but they are already are discounted.
All monies from the sale of these go to pay for the cost of cmomb’s site and forum, as well as providing materials, such as this book for free to those that can pay little or nothing towards it. Nothing goes into the pockets of anyone.
From Chaos to Order
I want to share about an audio I listened to recently that may be a great help and encourager to other mothers who are trying to juggle family and home.
From Chaos to Order, Bringing Organization to Your Home (41 minute workshop) comes from www.homemaking911.com.
Malia shares, in a seminar-type approach, how you can get your home organized and cause less stress for yourself and give your home a new peace. I found it to be a shot in the arm, even for me! It is an exhortation with practical insights to get one going.
For $7, I think this resource is worth it. It is something you will want to listen to now, and then again in six months. You may not be able to implement everything at once, but she gives you step by step ideas to get you going. You will want to come back and glean more later. It is so practical and doable!
Malia is a great example of a Titus 2 woman. If nothing else, you will enjoy browsing her site! She is adding to it constantly!
