Dear Reader, It's been a while since I sat down and wrote an email. Now, you're probably curious about the subject line, so I'll get to that in a moment. But first, before I forget, I'm dropping the link for the Martha 2.0 Faith-Based Bundle, which includes my Bible verse cards. So, if you're interested in faith-based resources, check out the bundle this week while it's open! Check out the bundle Now, part of why I haven't written in a while is because I was traveling. One place we went was...

Dear Reader, Over the past months, I've gotten a lot of inquiries about where Book 4 is. "Are you going to write a fourth book? We have to find out what happens!" Well, the fourth book is published, at long last! I actually have Books 5-9 written, and they have been for about 3 years now. But, it takes time to get people to review and edit them. As a busy mama, my first priority goes to my family, which is why the books are slow in coming. I do find it ironic that a book set in the winter is...

We'll keep this shorter today, Reader. I just wanted to let you know about my new book, a Bible Passage Study Book! Multiple people have asked me to sell printed out options from my Etsy shop, and this is my first attempt to do so. If you have other ideas of books you'd like to see, let me know! This is based on a method I developed as a teenager, and it really helped me dig into God's Word! Check out the new book! Sample pages are available on our website, if you click the above link. Here...

Dear Reader, This weekend is Father's Day. If you want a project for your children to do, you can download the pages for dads from my All About Bundle - a perk of being a subscriber! All About My Dad.pdf This year for Father's Day, I got my husband socks. Even though that's a "textbook gift" for the occasion, I'm a little unsure about giving them to him because of what happened last time I got him socks. That was for his birthday a few months before we got married. So, yeah, it's been a...

Dear Reader, Last night I got around to organizing my storage room of books and discovered that I have only one Household Planner left in stock! It was our bestselling item at the homeschool convention in April, and I've also sold a number of copies from another promotion I did this month, but I didn't realize I was nearly out. Since I print them myself, I need to get busy. Let's hope the printer cooperates; it prints beautifully, but connecting it to the computer has given us no end of...

Hi there Reader, According to the people who took my survey, emails twice a month are the sweet spot. So, I'm popping in here for the second (and last) time in February. Thanks so much to everyone who took the survey - it's given me some good ideas! Of course, there are some conflicting ideas. One person wants shorter emails, while others want "more tips" (what kind of tips, I wonder?), "meal ideas", "more pictures", "inspirational quotes", "writing tips", "more about your normal family...

Dear Reader, Happy February! Thanks for those who replied to the survey... if you haven't, there's still time! It should only take a couple minutes and comes with a free set of Bible verse cards! It's been interesting to read people's feedback. So far the top three categories of interest (in that order) are articles I write, personal news from me, and giveaways. I don't have any of those three things in this newsletter, sadly, but I'm working at incorporating more of your ideas going forward!...

Dear Reader, We have a cover winner! This also happened to be my favorite and my husband's favorite, so I was glad it was the clear winner! Quite a number of people indicated their second favorite in the notes, and it was interesting to see what everyone thought! Thanks so much for all the responses! Below you can see three samples from Book 4. You should be able to enlarge them by clicking on them. Also, I've put together another poll - this one so you can share your email preferences with...
