It's the Ultimate Homemaking Bundle, a homemaking extravaganza.

I don't know if you will decide it's right for you, but I cannot wait to dive in & tell you all about it and you can see what you think...

(UPDATE: though the bundle is no longer available, in each post section possible, I've added a note at the end, giving you links where you can get similar information free.)

My Favorites in the Homemaking Bundle

This bundle, is worth almost $2300 (if you bought everything separately.

It includes...

• 28 eBooks
• 30 eCourses, videos & audio files
• 25 printables 
• 16 workbooks
• 3 summits
• and 2 membership sites

Let me start by sharing the products that I am most excited about in the homemaking bundle...

The Stay-at-Home Moms Year-Round Outfit Guide & Capsule Wardrobe Mini Course

If you're a minimalist mom like me, wanting an easy way to create a simple capsule wardrobe that's got comfy weekend style, but still looks put together, this eCourse is perfect for you.

In my opinion, this mega eBook and mini course are worth more than the cost of the entire homemaking bundle!! I know that's a big statement, but I really believe it's true. Read on to see why...

The key to a simplified wardrobe is making sure that all the pieces are ‘remixable’ (easy to mix and match). This allows you to have fewer pieces and yet have more variety in your daily looks. – Corina Holden, The Stay-at-Home Mom’s Year-Round Outfit Guide

Corina defines what makes a wardrobe remixable, describing the characteristics it needs to have, which include your color palette, a variety of pieces and proper ratio of pieces in neutral colors versus complementary colors and solid styles versus pattern styles.

In the guide, she gives you a complete wardrobe plan framework that takes all of those characteristics into account.

In addition to the outfit guide eBook, you get a Customize Your Capsule mini course and a Facebook group for support.

The Outfit Guide

She starts you off with a look at your current wardrobe and asks you to clear the clutter in your closet. I had done that, but promptly did so, and I can’t believe how much better it feels to have more room in my closet, to know exactly what’s in there & where it is, and to be able to see my capsule wardrobe at a glance.

Then, she shows you exactly how to create a capsule wardrobe with enough pieces to create hundreds of casual outfits (over 280). Perfect for SAHMS who want to dress casually but with style, at the same time.

Thanks to her, I now know exactly what I’ve got in my closet, have created my own capsule, and I know what to buy the next time I am looking to add to my capsule.

My goal was to create a minimalist mom capsule wardrobe, and I have done that, with my current capsule of 10 items of clothing. I won’t be able to create quite as many outfits, but I am using her guide to inspire as many variations as are possible.

My favorite aspect of the capsule wardrobe plan is that it’s designed with remixable in mind. That means when you follow the recommendations for what to get in neutral versus color or in pattern versus solid print, your pieces will mix and match into hundreds of unique on-the-go outfits! – Corina Holden

I also love that even though the guide is focused on helping you create a casual capsule wardrobe, she includes 10 dressy outfit ideas for each season, for church, PTA meetings, etc.

And speaking of outfit ideas, you get access to an outfit gallery online, which makes it much easier to get ideas for the specific things you have or want to have in your closet.

I got some good ideas for upgrading some of the outfits I wear already, but also saw some new ones I’d like to try.

I have a small capsule wardrobe – 10 or 11 items of clothing, depending on the weather – and with the outfit ideas I got from the eBook, I can create up to 30 different outfits, and that’s without playing around with different accessories!

And I was only really talking about my warm weather capsule. Because of some of the pieces I only wear when it’s cold, the number of possible outfits would more than triple in size.

The Capsule Wardrobe Mini Course

In the capsule mini course, she gives you step-by-step instructions for updating your wardrobe using the wardrobe plan, for creating your own color palette, for adapting and swapping pieces, and she even gives you tips on how to shop for the pieces you don’t yet have.

There’s a download with color palette inspiration with blank spaces you can use to plan your own color palette. But she also gives you advice on ratios to use for neutrals versus your main colors, for tops, for bottoms, etc.

And, of course, in the guide, she shows you capsule wardrobe examples, but once you know what your color palette is going to be, it’s easy to personalize the guide by choosing one of your neutrals, or one of your main colors. In fact, for each example, there’s a blank space where you can write that in, so it’s right next to the picture.

Shopping in Your Closet

When you print out the guide, there are checklists so you can compare what is suggested to what you already have. Before doing that, I recommend deciding on the capsule size you want.

You may want half of what she recommends or double the amount, and you’ll want to keep that in mind as you make the comparisons.

In the capsule mini course, she recommends a formula for setting a monthly and yearly budget for your wardrobe that will help you decide what to get now and what can wait until later.

My own budget is quite limited right now, so my purchases will have to make use of sales and are likely to be limited to holiday buying.

I used her formula, and now, I have a better idea of what amount to keep in mind as a budget goal when it is time to buy.

Well, I hope I have given you a good idea about what you get with this book and eCourse. I love the bundle, but this one course is probably my favorite of everything the bundle offers.

NOTE: The homemaking bundle is no longer available, but you can get a free version of the guide I have been talking about at bit.ly/mom-capsule.
    

Grab These 3 Decluttering Resources

I realized that living in the midst of clutter had been giving me a sense of stress and anxiety and I was able to think more clearly and enjoy my home more with all the clutter out of the way. It's amazing how much peace of mind decluttering can bring. - Abby Lawson, Declutter in a Weekend

Were you able to participate in the free decluttering challenge and download my free decluttering tips checklist? It was such a great start, but I know you may be feeling like there is still more work to do on the spaces in your home.

And this bundle has you covered more than 3 times over! But I will only share three, so you won't be completely overwhelmed with information.

Declutter in a Weekend...

Abby Lawson, from Just a Girl and Her Blog, helps you declutter your home in a weekend. She lays out the plan for you, to begin on Friday and end halfway through Sunday, or on any two days you can dedicate to decluttering your home.

You can print the My Decluttering Plan worksheet and she'll guide you through creating your plan in advance. And there's a Details, Details worksheet so you can plan easy meals to have during your breaks, and a playlist or other background entertainment to augment your experience.

She leads you through a mindset shift, gives you tips and tricks to use in each room, and tells you what to do with items that don't have a home & how to get creative about housing them.

That last question was important to me when I was decluttering my room for the challenge.

With the Finish Strong worksheet, you can plan a Phase Two for anything leftover from the weekend. She tells you how she did that with her garage, which had been completely full.

The goal is to do as much as you  can in the weekend, and then, if anything is leftover, it's minimal enough that it's not intimidating. I've experienced that feeling, and it's so valuable.

I had finished almost everything, and what was left was a small space I knew I could easily do the next weekend. Instead, I did it the next day because I knew how easy it would be.

The Swap: The Lazy Genius Guide to Decluttering for Life: In the Swap, Kendra Adachi promises that with a few, small changes, you can declutter for life. And she assures you that you're in the right place if you love pretty things, have a love/hate relationship with the idea of minimalism & have ever wished you could just get rid of your house and just start over.

When you only live with what matters, she says, you eliminate clutter for good.

During the process of The Swap, she asks you a series of simple, but deep & important questions you can use as you declutter.

Sometimes, the decision to keep or not to keep can be paralyzing. She offers a simple way to make those decisions easier, in a way that will be personalized to you.

In a way, The Swap is a simple mind shift, applied in several different ways, that - once you make the shift - can really change everything. It has helped me tremendously, even with unrelated things like making choices at the grocery store.

Ditch Clutter: This one, by Christine White, tells you how to get rid of your clutter, and then, how to use the systems she'll teach you to keep it from coming back once it's finally gone.

You get the printable Whole House Decluttering Checklist, a 30 minutes a day, Daily Cleaning Checklist and three training videos that will teach you strategies that will help you make decluttering progress immediately.

Then, there's the eBook, that helps you create your decluttering game plan, shows you how to answer several questions about what to keep and where it goes, and teaches you systems that will keep your clutter from coming back. Like the year-round maintenance system, plus others.

I could tell you how much each of these decluttering resources would cost individually, but since you get them all, plus more, when you buy the bundle, what matters to me is that together, I believe they are worth more than double the cost of the bundle, itself.

And you have them for life!

NOTE: though the homemaking bundle is no longer available, you can still get my free printable decluttering tips checklist.

BONUSES!

For every cool bundle that Ultimate Bundles has ever offered, there have been bonuses you can access just for purchasing it. Some are discounts, coupons or temporary memberships, and others are freebies. Well, I must say that this homemaking bundle seems to have the most bonuses I have ever seen!!

I won't share them all, so go to the offer page to read about each one. Below, I'll be sharing the ones I am most excited about for this bundle...

 A short, self-paced, three part course that you can watch right now and start applying to your home within the hour. Your family will notice a difference in your home tonight. - Myquillyn Smith

$7 Mini Bundle Upsell: Invest in Your Faith

It would be easy to think that was a typo, but it isn't.

There were so many great personal faith resources for the homemaking bundle that Ultimate Bundles decided to create a second bundle, a mini bundle, that you can buy along with the homemaking bundle.

Worth $234, it will only cost you $7, so by itself, it's worth more than the cost of both the homemaking bundle and the faith mini bundle. It offers 4 eCourses, 2 eBooks,, 2 workbooks and 2 printables, all designed to support & help you grow your faith.

NOTE: though the mini bundle is no longer available, you can access a list of articles on growing your faith in my free lifestyle library.

Maximize Your Mornings

This workshop will help you make the most of your morning routine, even if you're a crazy busy mom like the rest of us.

For me, this is another one of the highlights that make this bundle more than worth the price.

NOTE: although this bonus is no longer available, there's a section in my new, free slow living ebook on morning routines that may inspire your own cozy mornings and help you make the most of them.
