http://www.happylittlehomemaker.com/wp-content/Budget-Binder-Show-Tell-for-Cash-Users-887x1024.jpg So I recently made a show and tell video of my Budget Binder.  I’ve been wanting to write a post for years, but it made for a boring repetitive post.  Now I’ve made a video which I think works a lot better. If you are a Dave Ramsey fan and use cash basis bookkeeping for your personal stuff and are looking for a way to juggle the envelope system while doing 1/2 your shopping online and 1/2 in store without losing your mind, I might have an idea that works for you.  It solves the w ..read more

http://www.happylittlehomemaker.com/wp-content/siggy2.png I haven’t been doing a ton of blogging, but I have been diving into school, learning and reading on my own and even enjoying a few hobbies.  One is bible journaling and the other is turning into one of those planner weirdo’s on IG who have more than one planner and use it as an artistic outlet. I’ve been bible journaling and using Illustrated Faith kits from their site & Dayspring since my miscarriage in spring — coincidence? I think not. As a natural extension, I’ve created this Traveler’s Notebook Prayer & Peace Journal a ..read more

http://www.happylittlehomemaker.com/wp-content/PACE-Catholic-Character-Review-768x1024.jpg One of the things I mightily struggle with is trying to instill virtue in my kids. I have tried several different ways and methods of doing so and none of them have felt right or stuck with our family for very long. I received a message from Monica Speach about her Catholic character program, Program for Achieving Character Education for Catholic Schools and Homes (or PACE). A few days later, she had sent over both the manual as well as the K & 3rd Grade workbooks. PACE (Program for Achieving C ..read more

http://www.happylittlehomemaker.com/wp-content/exploring-science-in-early-elementary-without-curriculum-1024x1024.jpg Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links at no extra cost to you. Thanks for your support! I don’t mind science but as I added more students, I decided to concentrate on doing the basics REALLY well. Something had to give and with my early elementary kiddos, science is one of those. I refuse to take the time on a science curriculum that doesn’t “stick,” ya know? That being said, here are several ways my kids learn about science without doing a science curriculum. Cla ..read more

http://www.happylittlehomemaker.com/wp-content/Gratitude-Prayer-Praise-Coloring-Journal-Book-Review--225x300.jpg I have quit blogging for the most part these days, originally due to health reasons, but now I’m just enjoying the slower pace of life. Occasionally, though, an opportunity comes through that I can’t pass up.  When I got an email from Tyndale about reviewing Gratitude: A Prayer and Praise Coloring Journal, I could not pass it up. If you follow me on Instagram, you will know that I am loving bible journaling and coloring to foster a little creativity in my busy days. Not o ..read more
