Thankful Homemaker and $50 Vision Forum Gift Certificate Giveaway!

How many of you have heard about Marci over at Thankful Homemaker? She is such a sweet gal and she loves to blog about many of the same things I do such as:

• Homemaking
• Biblical Womanhood
• Parenting
• Education
• Grandparenting (I don't blog on this yet, but hope to one day!)
• Health and more

 (Marci and her husband, Doug)

I got a chance to get to know Marci a bit more since we both co-authored (along with 10 others) the newly released eBook, The Heart of Simplicity. Here is a recent fun video she made recently with her daughter on how to make homemade sunscreen:









She also did a series on how to organize your home called the Room by Room , has tips for memorizing scripture and evangelism, a Homemaking Binder you won't want to miss including a fun weekly linkup on Tuesdays. Here is an excerpt from her blog post entitled The Beauty of Self Control:

"Our emotions were given to us by God to glorify Him and enjoy Him.  Think of how our emotions enrich our lives everyday.  When we are happy to see our husbands come home from work, the joy we feel from hugging our children, the surprise in receiving flowers from our husband, the excitement of getting all the laundry caught up.  Imagine life without these emotions - you can't - emotions make our lives meaningful.  They are a gift from God.

Let's look at the negative emotions such as fear, despair, guilt and loneliness.  These serve a purpose too - they reveal the state of our hearts and our hearts govern our feelings.  When I am feeling loneliness I need to bring my emotions back to the truth of God's Word - His Word says, "I will never leave you or forsake you."  "I am with you always".  When I am feeling guilt, "there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."  We need to bring our emotions in line with the truth of His Word and glorify God in our emotions. "

Marci is generously giving away a gift certificate for $50 to Vision Forum (our favorite Christian online store) to one of our special readers!

Delicious Avodah Coffee Giveaway and Wise Woman Linkup!

Something you might not know about me, is that I am a morning person. I love getting up sometimes at the crack of dawn and beginning the day with the Lord and a good cup of coffee in my teacup. I love a good coffee to go along with my favorite Baileys Creme Brulee creamer, so when I heard about Avodah Coffee, I knew I had to give it a try.

Jessica sent me some Morning Brew and Monsoon Malabar- yummy, roasted blends that were just delightful! It was so good that I even shared it with all my church friends who came over to my house this past Sunday (we had a packed house and they really enjoyed it too!).

Here is a peek of the family behind Avodah Coffee:

What does Avodah mean?

"The word Avodah is Hebrew, and describes action that is simultaneously work, worship and service. It means that the work we do is more than a job – that bringing the awesome to our customers is about serving you, the farmers who grow the coffee, and those who benefit from the organizations we support.  All this combines under a lifestyle of Avodah, through which all we do becomes an offering.  When you see Avodah, you know you’re getting great coffee with a great purpose. All this combines under a lifestyle of Avodah, through which all we do becomes an offering.  When you see Avodah, you know you’re getting great coffee with a great purpose."

 I just love that they give a portion of the proceeds from every sale to charitable organizations that exist to change the world!  What a blessing to see Christian families helping the needy near and far.

The Giveaway

Avodah Coffee would like to give away to two winners their choice between a full size coffee bag or a sample pack!

I *Love*Blessings Unlimited (& Giveaway!)

Here at the blog we love to share wonderful Christian companies with our readers and I have to tell you that I cannot wait to tell you about Blessings Unlimited.

Do you see that beautiful apron above? Well, it was sent to me recently and I'm telling you, it is so pretty I don't want to take it off! You can't tell in the picture but at the bottom of the apron you will also find a multi-colored 3-tier ruffle...

*I love ruffles!*

I posted this picture on Facebook and someone actually thought it was an outfit and thought it would look pretty with leggings. Ladies, I am telling you, this apron looks fabulous with everything and I am even tempted to wear it to the store, to the library, and to church (yes, I am that weird) because it is that cute.

And they also carry some other beautiful items that caught my eye like these lovely, inspiring cups:

With darling matching plates:

And there was so much goodness to share with you, I knew I couldn't fit it all in so I had to make a collage:

Don't you just love it?

Many of you know that I am a blog consultant. In my free time I work with other bloggers to teach them how to monetize, advertise, and set up new blogs, and I really do love it!

I've included visuals for each step, and made the installation process a painless ordeal by providing codes you can simply Copy & Paste. You don't need Photoshop or any other expensive tools since everything is designed using a free, online photo editor.

I am so excited to announce a NEW ebook by my husband, Steve of The Male Domain.

 He recently watched the popular movie Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead and felt challenged to make healthier choices in his life. We are so proud of him!

While this book shares his story through 60 days, it is also a great book for those who are thinking about going for shorter lengths as well. He gives his advice on juicers, recipes, and just how to take it day by day. He also answers many common questions about juice fasting. It is also a quick read, and won't leave you feeling overwhelmed trying to read it! Watch the trailer:

Douglas Wilson's Standing on the Promises brings clarity, providing parents with an insightful handbook on biblical childrearing. It's not another paint-by-numbers method for parenting; it's about grace and covenantal blessings.

    ~Standing on the Promises by Douglas Wilson

As parents our greatest calling is the raising of our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Yet for many Christian parents, the promise of God's blessing to his people and their children is not well understood. Douglas Wilson's Standing on the Promises brings clarity, providing parents with an insightful handbook on biblical childrearing. It's not another paint-by-numbers method for parenting; it's about grace and covenantal blessings. Pray for your children, stand on God's promises, and experience the joy God intended for your family.

And my ebook, True Christian Motherhood--if you already own it, we will be more than happy to gift it to someone special.
