It’s here! It’s here! We had some pre-press problems, changed the cover, and waited… But now it’s finally here! (jumping up and down like a child on her birthday)

I’m so pleased with it. I loooove the Jane Austen font inside.

The Home Management Book really was always meant to be much more than just a calendar. It will help you organize your life by creating a personal agenda, using worksheets and instructions that I created to help me balance everything I do. I know that it will help you, too.

The whole system is based upon our Benedictine way of life. It flows from a family-centered approach to the Rule of St. Benedict.

In addition to the colour-coded week-at-a-glance calendar and the monthly block calendar with notables, you have the menu-planning pages, which are also dated and colour-coded to the Liturgical season, and even include important feasts and political holidays. Down the right-hand side is your shopping list. Those pages are followed by a Pantry Checklist (reproducible) and a ledger book.

I’ve included a section of reproducible home school helps:

There is an address book with quotes from various authors about letter-writing:

There is a section for keeping track of all those special people in your life who need prayers, and another for recording special events like births, sacraments, and deaths. You’ll find lists of fun holidays through the year, traditional anniversary gifts, a floriography, and wish list forms.

The “Care and Keeping” section will help you to record important medical and insurance information and includes reproducible food journal and fertility chart.

There’s a sewing plan to help you plan out an entire wardrobe, supplies checklist, size charts and project and swap records.

And a resources section complete with home-made cleaning recipes and home remedy recipes:
