I’m often asked for product recommendations for homemakers, so I thought I’d make a page just for that purpose! Everything on this page is something I personally use (or have used in the past) and can recommend.
Homemaking Resources
If you’re looking for homemaking resources, this section is just for you! These are some of my favorite tools.

PowerSheets Intentional Goal Planner
The PowerSheets Intentional Goal Planner has pretty much changed my life! I’ve accomplished so much more than ever before since I started using this planner.
I use this to plan out all the goals I have for my personal, home, and family life, and then I transfer these goals to my daily planner (below).
Every month there are new pages to track your progress and update your goals. I love it! Read my review here, or check it out for yourself here.
Living Well Planner
This is my everyday life planner, and it’s what’s keeping me organized through all of the busyness of managing a home.
This planner is different than any other planner I’ve ever used before. It will not only help you keep track of your day, but it also helps you with goal planning and tracking, and each month has a budget section so you can keep up with your monthly budget right in your planner!
For more information, be sure to check out my Living Well Planner Review, or get your own here.

Flirty Aprons
Aprons are so useful for protecting your clothes in the kitchen! This company sells some of the most adorable aprons, and I love that they even have matching aprons for moms and daughters.
MyFreezEasy Freezer Cooking Meal Plans
MyFreezEasy is the best freezer cooking plan I’ve ever seen. Each month you get access to a new set of recipes in each of these categories: gluten-free, traditional, slow cooker, clean eating, all chicken, all ground beef, all pork chops, and the 20 meals plan.
You can also mix and match the recipes from different categories to create your own unique plan. Read my review here or check out all the details here!
ThredUp
ThredUp is an online consignment store, and I’ve been shopping there for several years now!
Some of my favorite core outfit pieces have come from ThredUp, and I’ve also found cute clothes for my children here. I love that they offer free returns in case something doesn’t fit or you don’t love it. It’s super easy and hassle-free!

Cowgirl Dirt Natural Makeup
I haven’t yet reached the point of converting all of my makeup to natural products, but I’ve been using and loving Cowgirl Dirt’s makeup products for the past 6 years, and they’re my favorite.
I love their lipstick, lip gloss, eye-firming cream, eye makeup remover, and my girls love the body glitter!
Check out the full product line here.
Homemaking Books
These are a few of my favorite homemaking books.
The Hidden Art of Homemaking
I first read this book about 20 years ago as a young wife. It isn’t a book of instruction on homemaking really, it’s more of an encouragement and inspiration to live a creative and beautiful life.
I found it very inspiring!
The Lifegiving Home
I’ve been reading Sally Clarkson’s books for almost my entire 17 years of motherhood, and I’ve never read one that I didn’t love!
The Lifegiving Home is no exception. It’s a must-read for any homemaker.
The Complete Book of Home Organization
Just looking through this book inspires me to do some cleaning and organizing! It’s my go-to organization book now.
Home Management Plain and Simple
I bought this book back when it was called Large Family Logistics (which is now out of print).
A very practical and useful resource!
Motherhood Books
These books have inspired me through my 18 years of motherhood.
The Shaping of a Christian Family
A Mother’s Heart
The Mission of Motherhood
The Ministry of Motherhood
10 Gifts of Wisdom
Age of Opportunity
Homeschooling Resources
We’ve been homeschooling for 15 years now! Here are some of my favorite resources.
For the Children’s Sake
One of the first books I ever read on homeschooling.
A Charlotte Mason Companion
One of the first homeschool convention purchases I ever made—over 15 years ago!
Educating the WholeHearted Child
This is another classic homeschooling book that I picked up at our first homeschool convention 15 years ago.
Teaching from Rest
This is a refreshing read.
Consider This: Charlotte Mason and the Classical Tradition
This book is one of my new favorites.
HSLDA
In my opinion, every home educating family should be a member!
Erin Condren Teacher Lesson Planner
This is the planner that organizes everything we do in our homeschool. It’s the first planner I’ve ever loved enough to use consistently during a school year! Read my review here.

The Total Money Makeover
Love this book!
Blogging Resources
I’ve been blogging since 2008. These are the resources I’ve used to help grow my blog.
Bluehost
My blog isn’t currently hosted through Bluehost, but my husband and I have several other blogs hosted by them. They have the best prices and I feel like they’re the best option when you’re just starting out. They’ve always been very helpful with anything we’ve had a question about, and their phone support has been excellent. Go here to sign up.
Elite Blog Academy
In my opinion, Elite Blog Academy is the best education for learning how to be a professional blogger. If you’re wanting to take your blog to the next level, this is the best place to start! The thing is, it’s only open for enrollment once a year, so you have to act fast if you want to get in. It’s best to get on the waiting list so you don’t miss it. Get on the waiting list here.
Building a Framework
If you’re wanting to learn how to blog, then I highly recommend this course!
Erin Condren LifePlanner/Blog Planner
I love Erin Condren planners, and I’m currently using one for a blog planner. It works great for me! If you’re new to Erin Condren, you can get a $10 off coupon when you sign up here.
ConvertKit
This is my email service provider. I love using ConvertKit for my email service! I’ve used other companies in the past, but ConvertKit is so much easier to use (and I’m not at all techie, so if I can use it anyone can!). Check it out here.
