What Do People Have To Say About My Organization Course?
“This course was instrumental in helping me organize my space as well as my time. As a busy mom, I have a better grasp on what my days need to include so that I can enjoy my family rather than spend my time spinning my wheels cleaning up after everyone.”
“The Balanced Home Course helped me to be the “professional organizer” for my family! Simple steps to follow, check lists, printable labels, suggestions and worksheets will keep you on track to successfully maintain your own balanced home.”
“I am pretty sure I have solved more issues with the seven layers and clarity tool than I have in 6 months of therapy!! I think this course is going to help much more than my home. Thanks Amy!!!!”
When I realized I had been overcomplicating the idea of organization, that simplifying was a key component, then things really started to fall into place!”

Everyday, I join my kids in a craft or art project. The kitchen is adorned with loads of arts and crafts materials. Instead of beautiful decor, we have paints, paper, crayons, markers, scissors and glue! Always looking for a new idea. My kids look forward to each holiday so we can make a “special” craft. My kids have done so many masterpieces, I have moved their work from the fridge to the playroom where I have matted each one. I now own my own art gallery. Love it! We would LOVE to have this book for more great ideas. Thanks for giving us the opportunity.

I am learning to love doing crafts with my 3 and a half year old daughter, Anna. She loves arts and crafts and certainly did not get that love from her mother, But her love of crafts is pushing me to find more projects for us to do together. I love spending the time with her. It’s also an exercise in patience for me, and also in being OK with making a mess, getting glitter glue on your clothes, and digging playdough out of little fingernails. This experience is pushing me to tap into my own DIY abilities and I’m considering doing someof my own crafts for Christmas gifts and decorating this year.
I love to cook, bake, and read with my kids.
When the grandchildren come to visit, as they walk in the door, the first question is always “what project are we going to to today?’ So……we need this book.
We set up jars during different seasons and try to do related projects/crafts.
This would be great!
We paint, glue, color, We love to create art.
My 2 older kids and I used to play with homemade dough when they were little, and that’s exactly what I do with my little guy now who is almost 6! Time passes quickly, so have fun with your kids!
We love to paint new holiday decorations
Our favorite thing to do together is bake cookies, decorate them with royal icing, pack them in pretty packages and anonymously deliver them to church, neighbors, and the police and fire departments.
Love the book! What a great idea for a homeschool mom! I especially enjoy baking with my kids!
I loves to make a craft together with my boy when he grown up. Thanks for the chance to win!
We love to color!!!! For hours!!!!!
I don’t actually have any kids, but I would love to win this for a gift for my sister and her little girls. I used to love doing crafts with my mom and grandma growing up.
I love sharing my obsession with crafts with my daughter. I feel it is a valuable asset to have in life, not just to be able to craft your own toys, jewelry, or pretty things, but to be able to learn to use your hands to make something all by yourself. For her to learn that she can be creative, and productive whilst having fun.
I love reading with my boys!
I love hiking with my kids.
My 4 year old and I spent all day yesterday getting in the mood for Christmas/winter. She made gift tags with glue and balloons, she decorated the doorway (to the closet – it’s a tad early for the rest of the house) with red burlap and Dollar Tree fake poinsettia flowers, and we painted our hearts out.
Thank you!
I love doing silly things with each of my kids individually. We have made up our own game called the “yummy game”.
thanks!
this looks like a great book. I love to do crafts with the kids I babysit!
I love doing crafts with the kiddos in my preschool classroom! Thanks for the chance to win!

I love to involve my kids in the kitchen, but simple crafts are right up my ally too! this sounds like an exciting book I’m sure we would cherish!! thank you
My kids love to craft and paint. I’m looking forward to making Christmas ornaments with them during Thanksgiving break. We’d love a copy of this book for new ideas. Thanks for a fun giveaway!

We LOVE playing games as a family! It’s always a lot of fun. :)
I like any kind of craft that makes learning fun.
I love doing craft projects with my 3 year old daughter. No matter what we do, she says that we are doing “science” projects.
Definitely crafting… but I love cuddling up and reading stories too!
I would love to win this book. My kids enjoy doing anything together, but I admit that I am not the best at sitting down to do projects with them. I love crafty things, so maybe this will help me find some things we can do together!
I like doing craft projects with my kids. I’m always looking for new ideas to keep things new & interesting! :)
I love doing anything with my nieces that makes them think the day is a little extra special, especially taking them with me on errands. My four year old niece went on and on to my sister about how I took her to the music store. This week is her birthday and we are going to starbucks for chocolate milk and then five below to pick out a craft and some candy.
I have a 2 year old daughter who goes to preschool twice a week for a couple of hours. At least once a week I get a sheet of “homework” do to at home that works in conjunction with what she is learning at “school.” It seems to involve not only coloring, but gluing pictures, stamping, drawing, etc. I also homeschool/craft with her as well, out tot time, but now everytime she and I craft together (gluing, stamping, glitter, etc) she always sings outloud HOMEWORK MOMMY! I always laugh because if my homework was all about crafting I would have been a better student way back when! :)
I love baking with my kids. They love fun and creative snacks and anything that they can make themselves or help cut:).
Next would have to be playdough or coloring. There is something so peaceful and calming about those activities.
i’m sure there are lots of cute crafts to do with the kids
My sons love doing crafts. They both are autistic and doing crafts help theire motor skills drasticly and this book would help us so much with new things to do!
This time of year I love to nhave my kiddos help make some handmad ornaments to give as gifts!
They love it too!
