Making Home Sweet

Most of us don’t come from perfect homes. Actually, none of us do, since there’s no such thing, right? But, if you’re like me, you probably want to make the home you have as sweet as you can in an imperfect world.

And if there’s one thing I’ve learned through the years, it’s that home isn’t so much a place, as it is the people you share it with. So finding new ways to maximize the time we have together, the meals we share, the traditions we keep –these things are always a good investment.

Several years ago, I connected with Ryan and Stephanie Langford, who had the innovative idea to pull together the best home-sweet-home-making resources anywhere and make them available as a special package deal for just a few days. Long story short, it ended up being a huge success and the Ultimate Homemaking Bundle is now in it’s sixth year, impacting over 100,000 homes -and counting.

Every year, the Bundle is brand new, covering topics from decluttering and organizing tips, to healthy meal plans, to mothering and marriage tips, to time management tools, along with a host of other resources to make a home sweet home wherever you are.

Hope Ink Coloring Collection

I’ve been honored to have my Hope Ink art be a part of the Ultimate Homemaking Bundle since the beginning, especially because the reason I originally began creating was to sweeten the walls of our home and the homes of friends. And I can honestly say that this year’s Bundle is the one I’m most excited to share with you.

The Ultimate Homemaking Bundle has grown to encompass over $3500 worth of resources, but has stayed at the original (incredible) price of $29.97– which includes 3 exclusive bonus gifts from Hope Ink not available anywhere else, valued at over $300. (My favorite might be the 2018-2019 Coloring Calendar, something I’ve had many requests for over the years!)

In addition to the instant Printable Collection, you also get SHOP CREDIT + FREE ART PRINTS from Hope Ink, included in the Bundle. This isn’t something I ever do anywhere else, and many of you have told me how much you look forward to it, but were worried it wasn’t in the Bundle this year, since it’s not mentioned on the Bundle page. But, rest assured, once you purchase your copy of the bundle, you’ll get a special secret link giving you all the details of how to redeem your 3 HOPE INK BONUSES (and 7 more, from other companies!)

Here’s a breakdown of everything you get in this year’s Bundle:

+ 62 eBooks
+ 34 Printable Packs & Workbooks
+ 3 Membership Sites
+ 30 eCourses, Videos & Audios
+ 441 Recipes
+ Early Bird Bonus + Style Challenge (ends Thursday, April 12th)
+ 8 Bonuses (+3 Extra Hope Ink Bonuses)

So even though there’s over $3500 worth of resources included, the Bundle has stayed at the original (incredible) price of $29.97 – and as I mentioned before, I can honestly say that this Bundle is the one I’m most excited to share with you. Trust me when I say that even if you only use a fraction of what’s inside (just the Hope Ink bonuses alone), you’ll truly be getting a steal of a deal 😉

P.S. I’d love to hear your favorite resources from the Bundle – past or present!

Easter Art Printable

10 Comments

When I survey the wondrous cross
on which the prince of glory died,
my richest gain I count but loss,
and pour contempt on all my pride.

Were the whole realm of nature mine,
that were a present far too small;
love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all.

Praying you have a blessed Easter weekend, and beautiful Resurrection Sunday, friends!

Here’s a new hand lettered printable I made today – in case you need an extra reminder of His amazing love for you!

May we gladly, joyfully, give Him our ALL in return.

Like most of you, January usually brings out the planner in me!

So I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite calendar-y type printables and other rainbow goodies … (and I’d love to hear of any others you’ve found!)

The happy striped planner was a Christmas gift (picked out by me!), designed by the lovely Ruth at Living Well – you can FIND IT HERE.

This is a fun printable for each month from Ashley at Under The Sycamore – “The idea is simple: write down the best part of your day … each day.”

I love this Bible reading tracker from Jaimi at Raising Up Rubies – a simple and pretty way to keep track of your time in God’s Word each day.

This is a new goal planning + gratitude worksheet I just created – inspired by our Pastor’s sermon this last Sunday. It has space to reflect on the previous year’s blessings and challenges, as well as dream for the upcoming year. If you have kids, this is a great one to have each of them do (on their own – or with a little help from mom, as needed). And if you have boys (like mine) – they may not appreciate the pink rose embellishments, which is why I made a plain version, sans roses. You can find both on the Hope Ink Printables page, along with the Year At A Glance Calendar for 2018

We had lotssssssss of entries on the Calendar-Giveaway-For-You-And-A-Friend over on Instagram and Liz E. was the happy winner of two of these big art calendars …

And since many of you asked about how to get your own, I’m having another limited run printed this week. They’re back in the Hope Ink shop (on sale for 20% off, along with the few remaining mini-hanger calendars) – but only until Sunday, so don’t miss out!

My sweet Ruby girl and I restocked local shops in Clovis, Kingsburg, and Visalia this weekend with Hope Ink goodies, along with some brand new Ruby Rose treasures – so if you get a chance to stop by Revival 23 or Enjoy The Store, be sure to keep a lookout for them!

Ruby Rose, our 10 year old artist-dreamer, has always loved coming up with unique and original creations, so she is absolutely over-the-moon thrilled to share that she now has her very own Etsy shop!

She’d love for you to come visit for her “grand opening” –and asked me to tell you that you can save 20% on everything with the coupon code RUBYROSE10 (now, through Sunday, the 14th)!

Happy Friday, friends! Hope you have a wonderful weekend, making the most of your days, and always remembering …

We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps. -Proverbs 16:9

Happy New Year, friends!

Here’s the new Hope Ink 2018 one-page calendar! You can download the printable in either a rainbow version or a simple black and white one > FREE PRINTABLE CALENDARS

Also, these MINI CALENDARS with the fun wooden hanger are back in the shop! And they’re on sale (with or without the hanger) for 20% off- this week only (no coupon code needed).

Sadly, these jumbo WALL CALENDARS are sold out. BUT … I do have some happy news. I saved two of them to give away to you and a friend! You can enter (super easy!) over on INSTAGRAM.

I hope and pray you’re having a good start to your 2018! I’m busy planning … and working on some new goals. Like sticking with healthy eating, regular exercise, and meal planning (not my strong suit, let’s just say).

So, what are you looking forward to working on this year? I’d love to hear and be inspired!
