Pick Up

I have a single-mom home. It looks pretty much the same way as any other family home. We have the garage disaster that my son inherited from his father and carries on the messy garage tradition. We have dinner times and home cooked meals along with evidence of such on nights when we are too tired to clean up. We have messy kid bathrooms and piles of laundry. Of course, living in the country you can add the occasional messes of several animals of varying species. What I love about my home though is that it is perfectly comfortable for us and can clean up quite nice when I want to entertain.

The 30 Day Home Management Project

<Click book to order>

It's not hard to feel overwhelmed with the ongoing demands of managing a home and family. Even the cleanest and well-organized home may need some tuning up in functionality. Is your family over or under involved in outside projects? Are you spending all your time organizing and cleaning and missing out on enjoying your home? Have you invited Jesus to hang out during the week or do you just go visit on Sunday? Who rules the roost? Are the chicks in charge?

Tips for Reading "The 30 Day HMN Project" on your e-reader

1. Read One Chapter Day each day, answer the questions, and complete the project goals for that day.
2. Bookmark 'Affirmations' pages as you read each chapter so you can quickly go back to them when you work through the project.
3. Use the Search Term, "Project Schedule," then select the last result you get, and click 'find.' Then click 'next.' This should bring you to "The 30 Day Project Schedule" -- bookmark the schedule.
4. Go to the website and download the forms you would like to use. The password is found in Chapter 25- the 5th and 6th word of the first sentence. Use the search term 'Relationships' then scroll results until you see Chapter Twenty-Five. Highlight that result and click 'find.' You'll find the password phrase at the end of the first sentence.
WEBSITE forms will include the "The 30 Day Project Schedule", "The 2-Week Review," each chapter's Affirmations list, and the other forms mentioned in the text.
5. Use "The 30 Day Home Management Project" as a six week bible study group- meeting weekly to discuss your goals and progress. Plan times to get together and help each other accomplish goals.
