BH4.1 Beautiful YOU! Chapter 4 of Beautiful Homemaking by Charlene Johnson

-

Hello, Beautiful Homemakers!

I had a lot of trouble finding pictures for this video, but was finally successful.  Chapter 4 is the longest chapter in the book, and I think it will take me four videos, because I have gone into depth on the subject and have been doing research to go along with what Charlene says.  I just can't help myself!  

The chapter begins with a poem and a true story, before delving into the practicals:  tips on posture, walking, and sitting.    


I also paraphrase the ending of Emily Hunter's chapter on the same things in the 1967-1985 Teacher's Guide of the Christian Charm Course for teens and young women. 

Here is a link to the most updated Teacher's book on Kindle, from 2009.   There is also a teacher's book (paperback, 2009).  You may be able to find them on eBay or Thrift Books, as well.

 Student Book: Vintage edition (print) , or New edition 2009 (Kindle).

 

Another book I mention is Myka Meier's book Modern Etiquette.  There is also an audio CD of it. (Amazon affiliate links)

It's been difficult for me to find the time to do these videos.  I want to!  I'm just so wonderfully busy at church, DAR, with family and friends, reading, and wanting to deep clean and keep decluttering my house!  I've gone through my entire home, and am down to my overstuffed office, where everything I don't want in the rest of the house has ended up while I make decisions about its fate.

I hope you all have a blessed Resurrection Sunday!

Love,

Janine

Do you need a suggestion of which church to visit on Easter?  May I suggest a "simple" church?  I describe it here under this page:  Is this all there is?

      Janine, I loved Chapter One so much. At seventy years of age, I am having pain because my head comes forward. I am doing physical therapy, and your steps should reinforce my goals.

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 fo...

An Honest Review of The Clutter Connection

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 m...
