My Favorite Resources To Share:
I get asked so frequently what my favorite resources so I want to share them with you in one area, and I will continue to update as I add new ones. If there is a post that I wrote about a particular resource, I will try and link it. Below you'll find products and books in various areas so take a look through when you have a moment to sit. I love book recommendations, so I hope you'll find those I've listed below helpful. I do use my Kindle quite frequently and love the lower prices sometimes available to get books in that format.
The resources I'm listing are ones I love and have used and benefitted greatly from. I think you'll love them too. I will continue to update this page on a regular basis.
I'd love you to grab a copy of my free eBook's: A Beginner's Guide to Assembling a Natural Medicine Cabinet and Motherhood: Delighting in Our Children and you can do that here.

Dayspring is my favorite for Christian themed gifts and decor. They have so many lovely cards, and I appreciate always having boxed card sets on hand to shoot our a quick note to someone.
iBloom Planner – I've used this planner and for years now and it just works well for me, but I always encourage ladies that you need to find one that works well for you. Many people use the Homemaker's Friend Daily Planner, and this is a good planner for homemakers and so economical too :). Here's a post I wrote on How I Plan My Days using the iBloom Planner.
