Coming Soon: A Homemaking eBook Bundle you won't want to miss!

**Disclosure: There are affiliate links in this post. That means when you make a purchase through those links, I receive a compensation. This helps support this site and the time it takes to keep it running.Thanks!**

Hang on friends, because you might be blown away by the fabulous resource I have to share with you today! There are $850 worth of books and resources available at a 95% discount. Read on!


Last year I participated in promoting a similar eBook bundle, which had over 35 ebooks available at a highly discounted price. These year, bloggers and writers across the continent have gotten together an even bigger and better bundle at the same discounted price!

What will you get in this fabulous bundle??


As an affiliate for this bundle (meaning that I am helping to promote these books and authors in exchange for a percentage of the sale) I was given access to the bundle ahead of time to review and share with you all. I purchased my own copy of the bundle yesterday, and I am already so excited about what is included!! We're not allowed to share the specifics just yet, but there are books on Faith, Homeschooling, Parenting, Working from Home/Blogging (yelp!), Food, Financial Stewardship, Homemaking and much, much more!

The Ultimate Homemaking Bundle will be available for purchase on April 23 at 8am EST

That is less than a week away! The cost is $29.97 for the PDF version, and $39.97 for the Kindle version (that includes the PDF copies in case you have multiple devices!) I'll be back throughout the next week with lots of other information including what to do once you've bought the bundle, what devices you need to be able to read these books (spoiler alert: just a computer will work!) plus lots of giveaways and online parties!! It will be a week of fun here on the blog that you won't want to miss out on.



I hope you'll stay tuned for the rest of the details in the coming days! You can click any of the pictures above to learn more about the bundle, and check out the FAQ's here.

What part of this bundle excites you the most?

So Sew! Day 27: Free Download {on adversity}

Welcome to day 27 of our 31 Days sewing series! Today I have a free inspirational download for you.


New here? I'm glad you are visiting! You may want to follow this blog so you don't miss miss a post!


There is always something sad about last things, and today is the last day for a free download - at least for this series. =) Each Sunday this month I've shared an inspirational download and quote that can be printed off, used as a desktop, or made into art. It has been so fun to put these together!

Today I'm sharing one of my favourite quotes. It is from Crystal Paine's eBook, 21 Days to a More Disciplined Life. {affiliate link} I've loved this quote from the moment I first read it. In fact, I love the whole book, and I think you will too!


You can download this picture from Google drive by clicking here. This is big enough to be an 8x10" picture, or size it differently and use it however you want! It is free for you to use!

I'd love to hear how you use this or any of the prints I've shared this month. Have they been inspiring to you?

So Sew! Day 13: Free Art Download {on Beauty}

Welcome to day 13 of our 31 Days sewing series! Here is another free printable art for you!


New here? I'm glad you are visiting! You may want to follow this blog so you don't miss miss a post!


Here is another free printable for you! Last week I shared some art with a great quote about discipline. Today, I'm sharing a simple, yet true quote. I know other people have probably said this, but I thought attributing it to The Nester would be appropriate, since this is her series and all. :)



You may be able to save this to your computer by right clicking on it and choosing "save as," or you can click here to download it from Google Drive. This print is large enough to be an 8x10" print, but you can re-size it whatever size you prefer, or use it as your desktop or screensaver. Its up to you - it is a free print for your use!

If you enjoy this print and plan to use it, will you let me know? I had fun putting it together, and am so looking forward to sharing the next 2 with you!

So Sew! Day 6: Free Printable Art

New here? I'm glad you are visiting! You may want to follow this blog so you don't miss miss a post!




Welcome to day 6 of our 31 Days series! Today I'm sharing some free printable art!


It is Sunday, and because this is a special month where I actually post on Sundays, I wanted to make it good. =) This month you will be getting four downloadable art prints with inspiring quotes! I'm so excited about each of these!!

Today your quote is about discipline. If a person wants to learn something new - sewing, or anything - they are going to need a lot of discipline! If you already know how to sew, as I do, and want to keep perfecting your craft or using it in bigger ways {think, owning your own handmade shop} you will need discipline!

So today's quote seems appropriate.

Discipline: The ability to say "no" to what is sin, "yes" to what is right, and "I will" to what ought to be done. ~Jerry White


You may be able to save this to your computer by right clicking on it and choosing "save as," or you can click here to download it from Google Drive. This print is large enough to be an 8x10" print, but you can re-size it whatever size you prefer, or use it as your desktop or screensaver. Its up to you - it is a free print for your use!

If you enjoy this print and plan to use it, will you let me know? I had fun putting it together, and am so looking forward to sharing the next 3 with you!

Have a blessed Lord's day! =)

Shop Update: Autumn/Thanksgiving Printables!

Last year I had a custom request for some Thanksgiving/Autumn printables. They were so fun, I thought I’d re-vamp them for this year! That is right, there are new Thanksgiving and Autumn planning printables at So Sew Organized!

It is fun to do themed work for special occasions such as a holiday. For my yearly management printables I like keeping things simple and streamlined, but with holiday stuff it is fun to add specific colours and even some graphics. I still keep these simple and easy-to-use, but I think they can be fun for everyone, too!

Some of these stayed the same as last year - but a few got updated. I also better designed them to work for both Canadian and American Thanksgivings. There is a calendar for both October and November, and the countdowns and such are not specific to a certain month. That gives flexibility no matter where you live!

If you already have some of these printables from last year, but would like just the updated ones for 2013, just leave me a comment or contact me and I’ll be glad to work out a deal for you!

Here are the files that are offered:

October calendar with Canadian Thanksgiving and Halloween clearly marked


November calendar with American Thanksgiving clearly marked

Recipe page - such a fun way to keep track of your traditional recipes! This sheet is personalized just for you!

Thanksgiving to-do list

Countdown to thanksgiving

Cultivate thankfulness in the days leading up to Thanksgiving. This is not month-specific so it can be used no matter which day you celebrate! A blank copy is also provided for you to fill in your own activities if you prefer.

30 fun fall activities for your family or class. This is also not month-specific, and also comes with a blank version.

Autumn bucket list for some fall fun!

This is a 3-page printable that helps you map out events, make lists, and not leave any detail undone.

Autumn to-do list

All of these printables are available at So Sew Organized either individually or as a packet. Head over there to browse and purchase, and be sure to let me know if you have any questions, concerns, or customization requests!

I'd love to know: what is your favourite part of fall? Are there any other helps that would make your fall events run more smoothly?

Kitchen Cleaning Plan

I've never been a huge fan of cleaning. Oh, I've done my fair share over the years, don't get me wrong! But really, is there anyone out there who really loves to clean? {If you do, don't tell me...I might throw something.}

As I've gotten older I've definitely seen more and more the benefits of cleaning, and have gotten to a place where I don't mind it as much as I used to. {Just don't tell my mother that}

Since I am the one that does most of the kitchen cleaning around here, I recently decided it was time to come up with a plan for better long-term cleaning. Some areas of the kitchen were really starting to bug me - the food splatters around the compost bucket, the dingy white-ness of the cabinet doors, and the feeling of of never being on top of it all.

Ever felt that way?

{Or maybe you don't have food splatters around your compost bucket. Can I come live in your perfect world?}

I made a list of the areas that need constant cleaning maintenance, and found a way to stay on top of it from week to week. I distributed the tasks out over the 10 week-day times I wash dishes. I also included more of a "deep clean" for Saturdays. So far the system has been working quite well!

Here is my game plan:

Each task is very simple to accomplish and doesn't take much time. If I am gone or for some other reason a certain day's task doesn't get done, no biggie - I'll just do it next week!

The Saturday deep cleaning is one of those things that leaves me with a warm fuzzy feeling when it is done...I just love looking over a nice, clean kitchen! I borrowed some ideas from Kati's deep cleaning method, and it works out great! It is always a job to tackle those nasty drip pans, but it is nice to have them clean for at least a few hours each week. {wink!}

I'd love to share this schedule with you...just leave a comment with your email addy and I'll send you a copy! Or you can specify that you would like a blank copy so that you can fill in the tasks yourself. Either way, I'd love to share!

What cleaning methods do you use? Any other daily maintenance tips that would help us out? Do you clean around your compost bucket??

Shop Update: 2013 Daily Planner

I am always excited to be able to add new items to my Etsy shop! Today I have for you a revised and updated Daily Planner package just for 2013!

Here is what this package contains:

Year-long calendar
Personal life goals
Family goals
Yearly goals
Monthly goal sheet
Master to do list
Daily to do lists
Important household info
Babysitter’s guide
Finance record
Monthly bills to pay
Account Log-ins

You already saw the 2013 calender, but just to jog your memory:


I have re-worked a few other printables to make them easier to use, more practical, and larger open spaces for doodling planning and writing!

This last year I used this printable for my monthly and weekly goals (which you see every Monday in my goals update posts):

It worked, but I found it did not work well. I kept it in a plastic sleeve, so I could write on it with a Sharpie and erase it each week. That became a little tiresome, and as the year wore on I found I was using it less and less simply because I didn't take time to erase it!

So, I brainstormed what could be better, and came up with this instead:

weekly and monthly goals


This file contains a sheet for each month. On the left is a place for my month-long goals, and the right side is broken up into 5 weeks, to keep track of weekly goals. Each week has a place for 10 goals, which is my self-proclaimed "limit" so I don't attempt too much and get frustrated when I can't do it all!

Each month also includes a motivational quote or verse. You might recognize this one on January as being my new favorite quote. :)

I also made new sheets for the long-term goals. Yearly ones...

2013 goals


Personal life goals...

personal life goals


...or Family life goals, for those of you with families who may set more than just personal goals...

family goals

When you purchase those, you will also receive a blank copy so you can write in your own categories if you prefer!

The other sheets that needed some tweaking were those old to-do lists. I was trying to keep one running To-Do list, and it just wasn't working, partially because I didn't give myself enough space, and I was constantly running out of room! I also needed something to write down daily to-do lists...I had tried just using Post-it notes, and they just weren't doing the trick!

So I came up with my own:

Daily to do list


These can simply be cut apart, stapled together, and Bam! Instant note pad. Plus, the match my new master to-do list {wink}...

master to do list

You might notice that I included a water intake check-list on the daily to-do list. Because peeps, I have to drink lots of water. I notice a definite difference in my energy level and how I feel overall when I don't drink enough water. So that is just a little visual reminder for me!

Those are all the update printables in this new package. However, the package also includes these oldies (but goodies!):

Monthly Bills to Pay record...

Bills to pay pg. 1 picture


Plus this finance tracker to keep track of all your different accounts in one place {I personally love this one!}:

Ooh, I love this one too. A place to list all your user log-ins and passwords. I use this DAILY for all those weird little places you log into just to get freebies or save $$, ya know? But it is good for the big stuff too (Facebook, etc) if you forget those easily. And really, who doesn't? This is a lifesaver!

A babysitter's guide for when you have to leave your kiddos behind:

Babysitter Guide picture


Store all your family's important info in one place so everyone knows where to find it in an emergency {or just keep it in your planning binder to jog your own memory, wink!}

important info picture


This update package is now available in my Etsy shop. You can get any of these printables separately, or mix and match to make your own package deal. OR....buy these all as a set and save big! If you need only the updated 2013 sheets, let me know and I'll list them separately for ya.

I'd love to hear what printable sheets work best for you! How many of you use the ones from my shop? If you don't I won't hold it against you. {wink!}
