Test e-mail from Janine and what is next

-

Hello Beautiful Homemakers!  I have been so busy I did not change over my MailChimp feed, dreading it being a problem.  What spurred me on was waking up this morning to the fact that someone bought my old domain name, started a new blog, and then MailChimp sent it out to all of you this morning!  So sorry about that.  It shouldn't happen again.  

I'm working hard on my next FW video about why Mrs. Muir is an FW and some added material at the end from the book Daddy Was a Layman, about the author's mother and how she greeted her husband at the door with.... you'll have to listen to find out! :)

Thanks for sticking with me, despite my messing up the MailChimp feed. Hopefully no one unsubscribed from it.

UPDATE at 9:05 am - Well, the changeover was "easy" but it didn't work. This e-mail didn't get released at 9 am!  Trying again for 11 am.

UPDATE at 10:30 am - I sent you all an e-mail from MailChimp and FORGOT TO LINK THIS BLOG!  Ugh!  Sorry.  

You may or may not get another e-mail at 11 am (with this post in it).  

Hopefully by NEXT FRIDAY, February 2, 2024, you will receive an updated blog post.  We'll see!

      Hello, yes, and please forgive me for taking so long to answer! I didn't realize that Blogger wouldn't e-mail me comments from this website (unlike my last one). You can sign up on the Contact Form, and then I will put you into MailChimp and it will be delivered on Fridays. Thank you!

An Honest Review of The Clutter Connection

-
Image
Last year I read a very interesting book by Cassandra Aarssen called The Clutter Connection, How Your Personality Type Determines Why You Organize the Way You Do. The first time I took her test was on her website, Clutterbug.me , I came out as a “Butterfly.”  But when I read her mini online book detailing the four different organizing styles that are based on your personality, I thought I was a Bee who coveted being a Cricket!  (See her website for a quick explanation of the four Clutter Bugs.) I bought this book since it goes into depth on the four areas, with color pictures, and I wanted to know more.  I was skeptical of her test and felt that the questions weren’t clear enough, so I took the test several times on different days, and again after reading each of the four sections of her book. I felt that on many of the questions I could answer “Yes” to 3 out of the 4 scenarios.  So one time I did this on all the questions, and then added up my score that way.

From Christmas Chaos to Christmas CALM

Priscilla Poynter I spent many, many years unorganized. After reading countless books and decluttering, I just had my best Christmas ever, even though I was ill Dec. 21 & 22.  I had NO STRESS.  Everything was on schedule! Let me share with you the four steps I took to move from Christmas Chaos to Christmas Calm : 1)  Write up, then type up, your Christmas Countdown .   This is what MY list looks like: Christmas Countdown January Buy Christmas cards for next year (I do actual Christmas cards, not photo cards).   Go to post office and buy Christmas stamps (I did this today, and saved myself the postage increase happening Jan. 21, 2018)  Shop online for after-Christmas sales - Christmas themed items for next Christmas (it can be gifts, partyware, decor, wrapping paper, etc.) Place large empty box or Christmas bag into closet for gifts bought throughout the year, with post-it note for who it is for, or you will forget! Type up Christmas card list and

The Secrets of Fascinating Womanhood Book Synopsis

-

 Hello Beautiful Homemakers! It occurred to me that, since half of my readers are already married, we could also study the book Secrets of Fascinating Womanhood at the same time we are reading the Original 1922 Fascinating Womanhood pamphlets, because they go hand in hand. This is not the book by Helen Andelin entitled Fascinating Womanhood . She rewrote the pamphlets and added in her own observations, Bible verses, and eventually, reader testimonials. This book, Secrets of Fascinating Womanhood, was written by David Coory. The story I heard years ago is that his wife had taken the class in the 1960s, and he was so happy in their marriage afterwards, that he put his book into a “class” format – with Helen Andelin’s permission – and with at least 20 testimonials from her files. I am reading the updated version of the book, so sometimes you can tell that this is from the 1960’s ($25 to buy an entire outfit) and other times updated words have been used such as “la
