Make Over Your Mornings: This is a course from Crystal Paine, from Money Saving Mom. It is a 14 day course that will show you, and lead you, into making the most of your mornings in a way that works for you! Since taking this course, I have been able to eliminate so much wasted time in my mornings. This course includes lessons, worksheets, and videos, and since it is only $17, it is also an incredible value. Find out more about Make Over Your Mornings HERE.

Make Over Your Evenings: Also from Crystal Paine, this course is all about also streamlining your evenings, because really, your mornings and your evenings go hand in hand. In order to have productive mornings you must have productive evenings, and as I’m sure you can imagine the opposite is also true. This course also includes lessons, worksheets, and videos, and it is also a great value at only $17.

Living Well Planner: This is an amazing planner and the one that is like an appendage. It includes a focus on goals, a monthly budget, monthly, weekly, and daily pages, and it is oh so pretty. I have been a huge fan of this since it came out. It is one of the best investments you can make in being organized and efficient. Find out more about the Living Well Planner HERE.

Mom’s Life Binder: This is a downloadable planner that has everything you need to effortlessly run your household. This is one of the two planners I use to keep everything running, and I love that it includes sections for meal planning, budgeting, and plenty of blank space for whatever I need. There is both a mom version and a homeschool mom version. Both are perfect for keeping you organized. Find out more about the Mom’s Life Binder HERE.

MyFreezEasy: Erin Chase has done it again with her MyFreezEasy program. This program will help you create your own menu plans and give you everything you need to create 10 meals to get into your freezer in less than an hour. It’s a monthly service membership program, and with it you’ll get recipes tailored to your size family (even for my super-sized family), recipes, shopping lists, full assembly instructions to put your meal into the freezer and also to pull it out and use it. Numerous special dietary needs are addressed as well, and with basic and premium membership options either on a monthly or annual plan, you will find something that will work for you. This program is my new best friend and has saved me so much time and stress. *Don’t forget about putting it on your Christmas or birthday list…or giving it to someone you love for a gift! Find out more about MyFreezEasy HERE.

Simple Ways to Save/Earn Free Money:

Ebates: Ebates is a way that you can save and earn money doing what you already do – shop online – by earning CASH BACK…yes, a check! You only click on the store you want to shop at right from their site…Ebates earns money for bringing you there, and they give you a portion of that money back! I paid for Christmas one year using the cash back savings I earned throughout the year. It really is that simple. Find out more about Ebates HERE. 

 

Ibotta: If you’ve got a smart phone and can use it to take pictures, you can start saving money with Ibotta. It’s a coupon app right on your phone. You clip digital coupons on products you buy from their app, and then you take a picture of your receipt and the barcode of that product when you get home. Voila! You’ve just earned cash back with Ibotta, which you can then cash out right into your paypal account! It’s so easy and can really add up over time. Find out more about Ibotta HERE. 

Blogging Resources:

Bluehost: If you are ready to launch a blog or are looking for some great hosting, Bluehost is just what you’ve been looking for. I used Bluehost for more than a year, and my blog never would have gotten up and running if it wasn’t for their amazing customer support that talked me through numerous issues. Their rates are amazing, and in my experience, their customer service is second to none. Find out more about Bluehost HERE.
