A few of my faves
This week I've been busy making my way through the 97 (!) ebooks that are available in the Ultimate Homemaking eBook bundle, and I thought it would be fun to share a few that have popped out as favorites to me.
Because 97 ebooks could be, um, a teeny bit overwhelming, and it might be nice to have a few to pick out to read first!
(Here's the post that has all the details about this ebook bundle.)
NOT a DIY Diva
Not a DIY Diva is about letting go of perfection in our homes and decorating in a way that works for us. And that means that we don't necessarily have to be super-crafty and creative, just because everyone else on Pinterest is making super cool stuff out of old book pages.
The content of this book is great and the design is simple and pleasing to the eye (an important ebook quality in my mind, though I am not nearly so particular about print books. I just am picky about reading on a screen!)
31 Days to Clean
This is meant to be read over 31 days, so I obviously haven't made it all the way through yet, but I really like what I see so far. It's not just about organizing and cleaning, but also about creating an atmosphere in your home that's filled with love and grace.
This one has a pretty spiritual emphasis, so you might not enjoy this one so much if you're not a Christian. There are still some practical tips you could glean, though.
Like Not a DIY Diva, this book has a really simple, easy-to-read design.
How to Have Your Cake and Eat it Too
Mandi Ehman's book is about juggling working at home with being a parent, and I'm enjoying my read through it. I've had various work-at-home jobs throughout my whole life as a mom, so this is right up my alley.
(Because, um, I don't have it all figured out yet, even 13 years in!)

Tell Your Time/Simple Blogging
I already own copies of Tell Your Time and Simple Blogging, so I know they're great reads. It's been a little while since I've flipped through my copies, so I'm going to be giving these a re-read. I highly recommend 'em!

I have a question. When I click the link it takes me to an order page so I clicked your other link to the post discussing the ebooks. It says pdf - so these can't be read on my Kindle app on my ipad? I'm not very tech savvy- I have enough trouble downloading ebooks from the library!
Here's the information about putting them onto your Kindle. I think basically you have to download them and then send them to your Kindle using the Send to Kindle app: http://www.keeperofthehome.org/ultimate-homemaking-ebook-bundle-faq
Although you have an ipad. Hmm. How do you normally put kindle books on your ipad?
thanks! usually I go to amazon.com and click 'send to ipad' where it gives the choice of which Kindle I want (apps count as kindles) some library books I cant' download to the kindle or pc apps nor can I do the free borrow thing with Prime on an app - has to be the kindle itself.
If you have a usb cable that connects your iPad to your computer, you can just drag and drop into the data folder for your kindle app. Works just as well 🙂
that tell your time ebook sounds like something for me... I have so much to do, but I find it difficult to delegate the time needed for different types of activities.
Great recommendations! I bought the bundle on Monday, and have to confess that I have been a little overwhelmed by browsing through 97 books!!!
Maybe I'll have a little down time over the weekend to peruse 🙂
These sound very interesting. I'll have to check them out!
That cake on the front of Mandi Ehman's book is about to break my diet! Oh no!
I am half way through Tell Your Time and love it so far! I will check out 31 Days to Clean next - thanks for the highlights, the whole bundle is indeed a little overwhelming 🙂
I think I may need to invest in the 31 days to clean. I would love a more organized and more God filled home
I've only opened one so far. Based on what I've read, I'm concerned that many of the books are going to be written for the Pearls/Ezzos/Gothard types. I hope the next one I open is better.
Oh dear-which one was that? I've opened a bunch of them so far and haven't come across one of those (maybe because I haven't read many of the mothering ones.)
I am so, so, SO very not a Pearl/Ezzo/Gothard sort of person, just for the record. =P
Phew, because I adore you!!! L o l
Thanks for posting the highlights. It is a bit overwhelming to make one's way through 97 titles, especially when the download screen has minimal details about each (obviously, since it's trying to keep it simple).
Yep! It helped me to look at the big ol' visual guide I posted in my first post about this sale...then you can see all the covers.
Hi Kristen,
Although I didn't buy the whole e-bundle (it just seemed too overwhelming for me to add that many titles to my reading stack), I think it's an amazing resource for a few e-books that I'll purchase, and I made a note of every blog mentioned in it. I did purchase Simple Blogging and it was extraordinarily helpful to me--I won't give up social media (need it for business), but Rachel was 100% right that late-night blogging only serves to trash the next day! Thanks for the great resources.
