Announcing Heavenly Homemakers Affiliate Program!
Posted by: | CommentsThere’s been more hard work going on around here (is this really called summer break?!) and we’re so excited to tell you about the new Heavenly Homemakers Affiliate Program!!
So, are ya interested in earning a little extra money? We thought maybe you wouldn’t mind. :) A little extra money never hurt anybody’s feelings and we are hoping that the new Heavenly Homemakers Affiliate Program will be a blessing to many of you! We’ve worked hard to make this program simple to use and open to everyone, whether you have a blog or not!
Here’s the short story of how it works:
You tell your friends, family, blog readers, facebook friends, etc. about all (or some) of the products in the Heavenly Homemaker’s Shop and when they purchase something using your unique link…you earn 33% of the sale!! For instance, if you promote our new Learn Your Letters, Learn to Serve Preschool Curriculum Kit and someone buys it because of you…you make a quick $15! Not bad at all…and every little bit adds up, right?! Yes, I can think of several things I could do with $15 extra dollars. And if you sell more than one of the kits, plus a few ebooks…well, it all adds up to a nice little monthly bonus!
If you have a blog or website, it may be easier for you to promote our products and earn…BUT even if you don’t…you can still be a part of this program. You can tell your friends on facebook and encourage them to check out our products. You can tell people about the products, then email them your link for them to purchase through. Don’t spam anybody, but do feel free to use your online resources to promote our products and earn a little extra cash!
If you’re interested in learning more about the Heavenly Homemaker’s Affiliate Program and signing up to partner up with us, you’ll need to kindly agree to this agreement, then follow the links to sign up! To learn more about the program, you can read through the Heavenly Homemaker’s Affiliate FAQs. This page explains the entire process with simple, step-by-step instructions. There is even a lovely page full of banners and buttons for you to use as you promote the products in our shop! Beyond that, if you have any more questions, please email Charlene, my incredible, lovely and oh so helpful HHM Affiliate Manager at hhmaffiliates at gmail.com.
We can’t wait to have you join us in this program!!! Sign up…be blessed!
And can I just say thanks? It’s because all of you are so wonderful that makes beginning this affiliate program so exciting for us. Hugs all around.

Honey, I’m Home!
Posted by: | CommentsI made it back home yesterday after a six day “vacation”. I’m a little on the tired side…but wow is it great to be home!
Speaking of being tired…this morning before I was fully awake, I wrote a little post about Tropical Traditions and a $5.00 shipping deal. I misread some of the details about the deal, then once I was made aware of the actual details, instead of re-writing the post…I just deleted it. I was just too tired to think hard enough to re-write it. And it was only up on my blog for about 5 minutes. The only problem with this is that if you read my blog through RSS or Email…you’ll still get the post and the information I wrote isn’t correct. I’m so sorry for any confusion!!! Sigh
Right now I’m working to unpack and catch up on laundry and mail and a bulging email inbox. And a scary looking refrigerator. What is in there anyway?
Did I tell you I got to see Amy from The Finer Things in Life while I was away? It was a blast! I think we talked non-stop for 5 hours straight. I probably wore her out! Oh, and she and I got matching sunburns on our knees while watching our kids swim. We were completely cute. We failed to get any pictures because we were talking so fast and furiously…but you didn’t really want to see our sunburned knees anyway, did you?
Okay, I’m logging off to go work on my house and refrigerator. I’ll be hopping on later to post an awesome giveaway from Wall Art Corner. In the meantime, head on over to their site and start drooling over all the neat wall stickers you could win!

Sale Ending!
Posted by: | CommentsJust a reminder that Heavenly Homemaker’s Guide to Gardening and Preserving ebook sale ends Sunday night!
Here’s what Christy had to say about Heavenly Homemaker’s Guide to Gardening and Preserving ebook:
Laura, thank you SO MUCH for this offer! I just ordered the ebook & am getting so excited to start planting my garden! My hubby & I love gardening & are teaching our kids also. We’ve had a garden for about 5 years, but reading through your ebook, I learned so many new things about gardening. I also want to try preserving my produce this year, so I really appreciate all the information you have in the book. Thank you so much! I’m so grateful everyday that I found your site!
Hurry to grab the ebook now at a great sale price!
Free Coconut Oil (Through Wednesday the 21st)! and other random items of interest
Posted by: | CommentsYou know I sing the praises of Tropical Tradition’s coconut oil. Their coconut oil is the best quality and wonderful for healing. (Read what I wrote about how we use Tropical Tradition’s coconut oil to help our son’s eczema here.)
Now through Wednesday, Tropical Traditions is offering a FREE jar or their highest quality coconut oil. You will have to make a minimum purchase ($16) in order to receive the free jar, but that is well worth it if you ask me! Here’s a list of all my favorite Tropical Traditions products!
While we’re on the subject of coconut oil (eating it and applying it topically), I wanted to let you know that you’ll want to be sure to visit Kitchen Stewardship and Mindful Momma later tonight as they address the topic of harmful parabens in some of the personal products we use. Here’s a post I wrote explaining some of my family’s favorite natural soaps, detergents, etc.
Last but not least, and on a subject completely unrelated to coconut oil or parabens…I’ve FINALLY drawn a random winner for this giveaway in which you could pick anything at all from my shop! The winner is: Sheri! (homeschooling4kids@) Congrats!
2010 Ultimate Blog Party! Exclusive Interview + a Giveaway!
Posted by: | Comments
Did you hear about the big party going on? I’m always up for a party (especially the kind where I can stay in my slippers and not fix my hair).
If you’re one of my regular readers…thank you! I love that you keep coming back to read my blog. You make ”what I do” so much fun!
If you’re new to Heavenly Homemakers…welcome! I hope you’ll like what you see here and keep coming back for more!
As a way of introducing myself (and hopefully entertaining those who have been hanging out here for a while and know all about me already) I took the liberty to interview myself for you. This interview and this interview went so well, I figured why not do it again? (Regular readers – you are welcome to roll your eyes now.)
Me: So Laura @ Heavenly Homemakers…tell us a little bit about yourself.
Me again: Well, I’m Laura, and I blog at Heavenly Homemakers.com. {ooh, was that obvious?} I have been married to Matt for 15 1/2 years and we have four sons. You can read more about our family here…but just to sum up my family life in a few phrases: we love God a lot…we play with legos and light sabers a lot…we eat a lot…we make noise a lot (the boys have their own special variety of noise, if you know what I mean)…we make messes a lot…and sometimes we fight off snakes. Oh wait, that was just me.
Me: So, what do you do in your spare time?
Me again: You mean when I’m not homeschooling the boys, cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, writing, working on the blog, coming up with new recipes, gardening, preserving food and going to soccer games? Well, sometimes I put snakes in cottage cheese containers. Although I’m hoping that was just a one time thing.
Me: You and me both. Would you take a moment to tell us what you like to blog about?
Me again: Oh my, well I blog about all kinds of things. Often you’ll find me posting a new healthy recipe. I’m big into eating healthy…yet keeping recipes simple and tasty. I always share my menu plan for the week. I talk a little bit about raising kids, a little about marriage. Right now I’m writing a series of posts sharing Our Healthy Eating Journey. I try to write about funny things that go on in my household, like about how one of my sons kicked out an upstairs window this morning and scared us all silly. Oh wait, I haven’t written that story yet. You want me to write about that one?
Me: That would be great. So you mentioned something about gardening?
Me again: Yes, the glass from the window got into the garden too. Crazy how glass can fly.
Me: Uh-huh. And do you ever blog about gardening?
Me again: Oh yes…all spring and summer. Even in the fall when I’m up to my elbows canning tomato sauce and tomato soup and tomato juice…
Me: Any special blog features you want to tell us about?
Me again: Each Tuesday I host Gratituesday, which gives all bloggers and readers a chance to share what God is doing in their lives. It’s a time to focus on what we’re grateful for!
Me: You wanna tell us about your Shop?
Me again: Sure! I have all kinds of helpful down-loadable resources in my shop! OH! And if you click here, you’ll find two FREE ebooks: For the Love of Pie…and Fun, Fabulous and (Mostly) Free Pre-school Projects!
Me: What could we read about you if we felt like getting a big laugh?
Me again: Huh. All of the Learn about Laura posts are quite eye opening…this one in particular when I accidentally shouted a bad word on our Christian College Choir Tour Bus may make ya chuckle. I also burned a barn down once. You can read about my life of crime here if you feel like it.
Me: Are you giving anything away today?
Me again: Absolutely! You can head over to my shop and pick out ANYTHING at all that you would like!
Here’s how to enter the giveaway:
1) Leave a comment letting me know if this is your first time here…or if you’ve been hanging out here for a while. 2) Leave a comment letting me know what you’d pick if you win. 3) Subscribe to receive my blog updates by RSS or Email. 4) Follow me on Twitter. 5) Become a Heavenly Homemakers Facebook Fan. (Leave a separate comment for each entry!)
Thanks for stopping by! Have fun at the party!
Heavenly Homemakers on Facebook and Twitter
Posted by: | CommentsI realize I’m way behind the times. I have been behind the times my entire life, so this is nothing new.
Up until now, I have avoided using Facebook and Twitter to promote this website, but many of you have requested that I get with the times, particularly in regard to Facebook.
I actually have had a personal Facebook account for quite a while now and have loved catching up with old friends from high school and church camp, and family members and such. But guess how often I update my status? About once every four months. Exciting aren’t I?
And, I actually have been on Twitter for quite a while now but (and I know those of you who love Twitter think I’m a ding-bat for this)…Twitter causes me stress. I don’t want to take the time to figure out how to write in 140 characters or less what I’m doing right now. It causes me to break out in a sweat. And so, I avoid tweeting. My life has not ended as a result.
Anyway…for all of you who love Facebook and Twitter and don’t break out in a sweat just thinking about updating your status and reading about what others are doing (and by the way, can I just say how impressed I am with all of you?)…I am now making my blog available to you. It’s about time. I know.
You can now become a Fan of Heavenly Homemakers on Facebook and/or Follow Heavenly Homemakers on Twitter if you want to. Hey, if it brings you to my site more often to hang out with me…I’m all for it!
But, you need to know that I just have it set up so that each of my blog entries are automatically entered in both Twitter and Facebook so that you are aware of what’s going on over here. I don’t plan on doing much else with it. I don’t foresee myself heading into my Facebook or Twitter accounts to say anything special or new or funny or interesting or entertaining or helpful or encouraging or theological or philisophical or spiritual or critical or political or analytical. I’m pretty sure it will simply be a way for you to see the latest new thing going on over here at Heavenly Homemakers…and that’s it.
I’m so sorry I didn’t set it up sooner. It was one of those situations of needing to “get a round tuit”. Doncha love it when I finally get myself a round tuit?
Now doncha wish I’d finally get my act together and figure out a good recipe for homemade ketchup? I’m having a tough time with that one!
Anyway, here you go:
Become a fan of Heavenly Homemakers on Facebook!
Follow Heavenly Homemaker on Twitter!
So how about you? Are you on Facebook and Twitter?!
One Last Day!
Posted by: | CommentsThe $3.00 sale on Have Your Cookie…and Eat it Too! and Have Your Cookie…and Eat it Two! ebooks ends at the end of the day tomorrow (Wednesday)!
