Spring Giveaway Carnival ~ Healthy Homemaking

by Laura on April 27, 2009

in Giveaways

Updated to add:  This giveaway is now closed.  The five winners are as follows:

Jenn from Beautiful Calling

Shannon from Red Yarn

Angie from Adventures of a Frugal Tree-Hugger

Barbie from Holt Happenings

Ally from Ally’s Corner

My friend Laura over at the lovely blog Heavenly Homemakers, is hosting a Spring Giveaway Carnival.  Since I love spring and I love giveaways well how could I not participate.   In fact I’ll be participating with TWO giveaways this week.  The other giveaway/review can be found here.

The first one I’m just so super excited to tell you about.  Stephanie from Keeper of the Home has written her very first ebook and it is amazing!  Stephanie sent me a copy to preview and I am absolutely blown away by how good it is.  No kidding.  It’s called Healthy Homemaking: One Step At A Time…a 52 week journey of baby steps to help you move towards more natural, nutritious and sustainable living.

There are 26 manageable steps in this book that will take you on a journey towards healthy living and each step includes the necessary resources and encouragement to make it happen.  It won’t overwhelm you, I promise.  It’s designed to be completed over the course of a year but you certainly can go at a slower pace if you need to.  This ebook is so well organized and easy to follow.  Stephanie even includes a convenient checklist in the back to help keep you on track.

All last week Stephanie shared a variety of the steps on her blog as a sample of all that her ebook has to offer.  Here are a few of them:

Baby Step 14 ~ Creative Repurposing

Baby Step 7 ~ A Good Egg

Baby Step 8 ~ Meal Planning Primer

To win one of the five copies that Stephanie is giving away here today all you have to do is leave a comment on this post prior to Thursday, April 30th at 12:00 pm PST.  Good luck and enjoy!

Don’t forget to visit Heavenly Homemakers all this week to see what everyone else is giving away.
