The Ultimate Homemaking Bundle: 76 eBooks and More for Under $30
Hey.

Are the inmates running the asylum?

I hear you.

When you’re young, you think about what it’ll be like: getting married, becoming a mom, having your own home.

You want to make a special place that’s a magical mash-up:
- a school,
- a playground,
- a refuge,
- a “fix it” station,
- a “you can do it” pep rally, and
- a safe place for personal expression, sharing and growth.
Guess what? It’s hard when reality breaks in. Real life includes…

…laundry, diapers, and never-ending meal prep… money worries, gritty floors, soap scum, and stains that won’t come out of your favorite shirt… holiday stress, and teaching the kids to read (and master long division)… a husband who works long hours, a kid with the sniffles, stomach aches and a fever… and a secret dream to run your own little business from home.

Now, I don’t know about you, but I love reading books full of tips. It’s refreshing to get a new perspective, even if every tip or bit of advice isn’t quite right for your house and life. Just the process of trying new ways of doing things and examining what works, what doesn’t, and why can be an eye opening and transformative experience.

With this in mind, Erin and Stephanie created the Ultimate Homemaking Bundle. Because as rewarding as it is, homemaking is hard work and it doesn’t always come easily.

The Ultimate Homemaking Bundle is just for you. And me.

It’s a complete library of carefully selected eBooks, eCourses, audios, online conferences, and printable packs designed to help you turn your house into a home… without all the overwhelm.

Is the Ultimate Homemaking Bundle worth it?

In a word… yes!

To be absolutely certain, Erin and Stephanie asked questions, tried techniques and just about drove themselves crazy making sure that the Ultimate Homemaking Bundle was the very best homemaking resource anywhere.

They dug through hundreds of websites and connected with dozens of authors and teachers.

And worked together to make these resources the most affordable possible.

And They Were Delighted to Help…

Organics Live: Organic Delivery Service + Franchise Opportunity in PA, DE, NJ
Post written in partnership with Philly Social Media Moms for Organics Live.
Enter below to win a Vitamix S30 Blender!

Imagine what it would be if, as a national policy,
we said we would only be successful
if we had fewer people going to the hospital
next year than last year.

How about that for success?

The idea then would be to have such nutritionally dense,
unadulterated food that people who ate it
actually felt better, had more energy, and weren’t sick as much.

Now see, that’s a noble goal.

~Joel Salatin

Trying to eat in a way that’s healthy and sustainable for your body, your lifestyle and the earth? Invested in preserving and improving the world we share?

A logical first step is to incorporate more organic fruits and vegetables into your diet.

Local peeps, huddle up. Today we’ve featuring a company that delivers locally sourced, organic food right to your door— for less than retail.

And they’re offering opportunities to become a partner, so you can grow your own business while supporting organic.

And there’s a chance to win a Vitamix blender at the end of this post.

Read on, friend.

So, raise your hand if you or someone you know is making more of an effort to eat organic fruits and vegetables.

We hear all the time about the benefits of eating organic and supporting organic farmers. But for many of us, shopping for organic food can be a timesuck and a chore, requiring a stop at the farmer’s market or CSA plus a grocery store or two just to get the foods we feel good about feeding our families. In addition to these reasons, many people feel eating organic is too expensive for their family budget.

What if I told you there was an easier way?

What if there is an easier way to get affordable, fresh, certified organic fruits and vegetables: delivered right to your door every week?

Organics Live, a company founded in Canada, is coming to our area and will be offering their popular weekly delivery service to homes and businesses. Organics Live delivers certified organic, sustainably produced, and locally focused food and groceries for less than the cost of shopping retail! That and their 100% Satisfaction Guarantee is part of their very successful formula.

Right now, Organics Live is looking for the right partners in the Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware Areas as they expand to the U.S.
- Have you always dreamed about being in business for yourself?
- Did you leave the workforce to raise your kids and are now looking for something to generate income and a different type of satisfaction?
- Are you already passionate about health and wellness and interested in partnering with a company that has the same values?
- Are you a go-getter who works hard and feels it’s time to personally reap the rewards of the success you generate?
- Are you looking for a way to achieve work/life balance?
If you said yes to any of the above, you may be the one of the partners Organics Live is looking for.

Why Organics Live as a possible business venture?

Organics is growing!

Sales of organic products in the United States jumped to 35.1 billion in 2013, up 11.5% from the previous year’s 31.5 billion. 81% of U.S. families now choose organic food at least part of the time.

You can join a rapidly growing company founded by concerned dads with a shared belief that strong, prosperous communities can be fueled by good clean food!

“At Organics Live, everything we deliver is sustainably produced with a heavy focus on supporting local growers and producers. We run a carbon neutral operation, offsetting all parts of the businesses, from field to plate. Our boxes are “best-of-season”, meaning that we source the freshest, highest quality fruits and vegetables available at any given time and deliver to homes and business weekly. Our mission is to build sustainable local food systems by providing our franchisees the support they need to move sustainably produced goods and services from makers to consumers with as little waste as possible.”

Corporate makes it easy

No inventory, warehouse space, or product management. No receivables, billing, or collection. No sourcing, buying, receiving, packing, or deliveries. Corporate even provides your website, IT, sales hotline, and marketing materials!

Not the usual franchise start-up costs

Territory ownership of households and businesses, full franchise status with resale rights, no royalties, and no brick and mortar required means your investment is 1/10 of a typical franchise operation start-up cost.

If any of this appeals to you and you want to learn more or claim your desired territory before it’s taken, please visit Organics Live to learn more at www.franchising.organicslive.com.

As for the rest of you, Organics Live looks forward to making it easier and more affordable for you to eat the way you want to! We can’t wait to show you the Organics Live difference! Stay tuned!

Follow Organics Live on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to keep up with happenings, expansion and seasonal recipes.

To celebrate the U.S. expansion, one of you lucky readers will win this beautiful Vitamix S30 Blender! It is a powerhouse! Good luck!

Why We Become Environmentalists

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
Nothing is going to get better. It’s not.

― Dr. Seuss, The Lorax

The Washington Post ran a piece recently titled The surprising psychology behind why some people become environmentalists, but the takeaway wasn’t so surprising at all. The conclusion was that empathy was tied to environmental attitudes— “namely, a heightened sensitivity to the suffering of other people.”

The authors conclude that “compassion elicits moral judgments and actions across different moral domains” — in effect, that it’s infectious.

Is this surprising? Dr. Seuss nailed that years ago. Environmentalists care. They care about people, and the world around them, and how their actions affect both.

This of course invites that whole treehugger thing, the idea that people who care about the environment are overemotional bleeding hearts. This has never bothered me. I’m sensitive, and I’d like to stay that way.

(Sidenote: nature lovers also tend to be healthier and to be more open to new experiences. All good things.)

I’d also say, without any scientific backing whatsoever, that most environmentalists are dreamers that can envision a better world of our own making, while also being practical folks who are always looking for the next steps to make that world happen.

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

Henry David Thoreau

All in all, a group of people I’m fairly proud to be associated with.

Raise your kids to be environmentalists as soon as they’re old enough to hug a tree.

Compassion is infectious, and it reaches into all aspects in your life, if you’re doing it right.

P.S. This photo was one of the first on this blog, back in 2003. Where does the time go?
