Motivated Moms Yearly Sale Time!

** This post contains affiliate links

Are you looking for a simple way to bring order to your home?  Do you love chores already planned out for you so you don't have to think what needs to be done but just do it? Then, I would highly recommend Motivated Moms chore planners for you!

You might need to sit down before you read this next part from me.  If you've been a reader here for any length of time, you probably know that I am a paper planner girl.  I normally go with the Motivated Moms Ebooks to help tackle our house cleaning each year.  It does a wonderful job of breaking the chore of housekeeping down into bite size chunks.  

This year though, I'm going for the Android app instead.  I'll still write MOMO (short for Motivated Moms) on my paper calender probably but all the household tasks will be checked off and maintained using the app.  I'll let you know how that works out for me.

On each of the planners, chores are broken down for you on a daily basis. You don't need to keep track of what needs to be done or when to do it.  The planner does all of that for you!   The printable version is available in many different varieties. 

You know what I think I love the most about this planner? The simplicity. It simply has what needs to be done. Household chores can be done quickly and efficiently.  It also has lots of different versions available suiting the needs of every household -even people like me who want to try them all.  

Right now all planners are on sale until January 2, 2015. Perfect timing to help with those goals or resolutions of staying on top of chores for the New Year.

All Ebooks are now $6 (regular price of $8)

All Apps are $5.99 for the year (regular price of $7.99) - a note about the app version is you will need to purchase the app itself and then add the year 2015 calendar on through this link.  If you have previously purchased the app in the past, you will need to purchase the new one that doesn't have a year or the words lite attached for the 2015 calendar to work! 

The Lite versions let you give Motivated Moms a try before purchasing!

Interview with Me at Homemaking Organized

Recently, I had the chance to "sit down" over email with Kemi at Homemaking Organized for a series she's doing called Homeschoolers At Home Tuesdays.  Kemi is a fellow crew mate for the new Schoolhouse Review Crew that will be starting back in January.  It was fun to sit down and share a little bit about how and why we do what we do.

You can read my interview here and find out about some other wonderful ladies here.  It is so fun and motivational for me to read about others and their households as well!

Weekly Newsletter

I would love for you to join me in 2015 as I work through household, budgeting, and personal goals to make my life more productive - not just busy but productive!

Here are some things I hope to share with you each week...

• Scripture verses to mediate on each week
• monthly goals and updates
• budgeting tips and goals
• recipes my family enjoys
• a wrap up of the weekly posts so you can be sure to never miss one again :)

Overall, I want this to be a journal for myself and I hope if I'm still around in 2016 I can say that my life was more focused with Jesus in the center of it all! 

The 1st newsletter should arrive in your inbox on 01-05-15 and each Monday thereafter.  And if it goes missing, whose going to keep me accountable?  I need you!  :)
