Keeping House while Keeping Sane + Giveaway

Giveaway extended until Monday 11/7/11

due to being away at a conference with my Wonderful Husband

I had the privilege of reviewing the Book Keeping House While Keeping Sane

by Ashley Schnarr

This book is quick read but is packed with valuable information.

Ashley is a stay at home daughter doing what the Lord has called her to do at this time and serve her family.

In this book you will find a wealth of information on organization, tips & tricks, cleaning and scheduling. 

There is also a companion CD with sample schedules, cleaning charts and a lot of valuable printables that you can customize yourself to meet your families needs.

This book is like a fresh breeze to a frustrated mom needing help with details of daily life.  Or to a young woman needing some direction how she can serve her family and glorify the Lord wither her time.  I wish I had been able to read a book like this when I was a young lady.

Ashley has graciously provided a copy for me to giveaway.

Thank you Ashley for your generosity.

Warrior Prayers - GIVEAWAY

My desire is to raise my children to Love and Glorify the Lord. 

Part of that is holding them up in prayer. 

Sometimes it is easy to think they are just children but they are human too and they face real struggles in their lives as well.

I want to do my part in bringing my children to God in prayer on a daily basis.

Oh do I have a treat for you.

I have had the privilege of reviewing Warrior Prayers.

Brooke has such a heart for praying for boys.  And not just praying any prayers but the deep prayers we can find in the Scriptures.  Our Sons need their mothers prayers for them more then we Will probably know.

I can't wait to start really digging into this ebook and getting more serous about praying for my sons.

You will not want to miss out on this ebook.  

Starting June 8, 2011 there is also a 21 days prayer for Son's you can join in on.

To enter:

Leave a comment telling me something you want the Lord to do in your son or sons lives.

Also tell me the ages of your son or sons.

or

What you see the Lord doing in his life at this time.

Don't forget to list their age.

This ebook would not have to be just for mothers of young sons but sons of any age.  If you do not have a son that is ok too feel free to enter.  It would give you great ideas of how you could pray for your future son in laws.

31 days to Clean GIVEAWAY

I don't know if you are anything like me but somedays, no most days it is a struggle for me to keep my house clean.  I know when my house is clean I am happier my children are more content and my dear husband is so pleased.  It is a struggle though homeschooling, cleaning. laundry. mothering. etc, etc,  etc.  It seems like sometimes the list never ends and I will never get done.

I was so thrilled to be able to get to review this book 31 days to clean by Sarah May who writes as Like a Warm Cup of Coffee.

This book is not your typical cleaning, organizing book.  When I read some of those types of books I feel so guilty.  This books is so much more than that.

I really desire to keep a clean house to bring Glory to the Lord as well as to Honor my Husband.

Here is what Sarah May says about her book 31 days to clean:

 I am not a natural when it comes to cleaning. In fact, sometimes I think my DNA is allergic to it! However, I know that if I am to care for my home, and more importantly my family, I need to persevere in creating a clean, peaceful home environment (not a perfect one!).

31 Days to Clean is about the “why” and the vision and the heart for taking care of our domains. Each day I encourage you with some thoughts and ideas, and then we put those ideas to action.

After each days reading, you will be given two challenges:

The Mary Challenge -Something you do that encourages/engages your heart

The Martha Challenge – Specific cleaning tasks

Friends, 31 Days to Clean is a faith journey towards ruling, subduing, and loving. We are forgoing perfection; we are choosing life.

I also plan to join the challenge you can join as well:

I am pleased to announce that I have 2 copies of this ebook to give away.
Giveaway Ends May 2nd at Midnight.
