On the right side-bar of this page under Business you will see Hearts for Family.? That is the website of the Crawford Family.? In this short entry I will review the E-Book offered at their site.? The E-Book is called “How I Make Money Sellling Homemade Skin Products (And how you can too!)”.
The E-Book begins with a description of the Crawford Family, a single income large family, and a project they had of making more homemade gifts.? This soon became their home-business.? There are many helpful tips on starting up, about how much money you need to start up, helpful websites, where to find recipes and such.? Also, Mrs. Crawford also gives suggestions on pricing, keeping financial records, and marketing.
I would recommend the E-book for anyone wanting to start a small business, especially a skin-care business.
Well, the wonders of computer technology, ha! Yesterday I spent a good bit of time reviewing 3 books from Above Rubies and when I pressed the publish button, they seemed to have disappeared into cyberspace. So, I will try again but will give a more simple description this time.
Above Rubies is a ministry that reaches out to the moms/families of the world. They also offer an array of helpful resources. I would like to briefly mention a few and would encourage you to check out the website (Above Rubies).
1. Rejuvenate Your Life – Recipes for Energy is a no-cook book chock full of recipes that have been tried, information about the benefits of eating fresh foods, living on a tight budget and eating well, and more. This is written by Serene Allison.
2. Be Fruitful & Multiply – What the Bible Says About Having Children is a very forthright book about the blessing of children. On the back cover we read, “There is no escaping the fact that the Bible is dogmatically pro-child. In fact, it declares unapologetically that the birth of many children is a source of blessing, that a key reason for marriage is to bring forth many children for the glory of God, and that parents should actively seek such blessings.” Some chapter headings are as follows: Gifts from God, Trust and Obey, God’s Provision, The Vision, What Do Children Say? and many others.
3. The Power of Motherhood – What the Bible Says about Mothers is a wonderful volume that talks about the most influential career in the nation. Loaded with Scripture, this volume is a great springboard into a lifelong study of motherhood and what God has to say about it. If you are wondering if the role of mothering is worth it, this volume would be helpful. There are 24 chapters and more!
So, check out the Above Rubies website and consider reading one of the books recommended.
Stay tuned for a brief review of a family and the natural soap business they started a while back.
Hi everyone.? I trust that the Lord is leading you and guiding you in His ways this summer.? I wanted to highlight a few resource materials from Above Rubies in the next few blog entries.? Today, there are 2 dvds I want to mention.? The first is called The Family Meal Table.? I’ve mentioned it before, but it’s such a great resource that I mention it here again.? Nancy Campbell (Above Rubies) clearly explains the importance of the family meal table.? Making the meal table a priority is her vision.? Although Nancy does most of the teaching, there are wonderful clips of various families who explain how the family is fed physically and spiritually at the family meal table.? If you’re wondering how to begin implementing this too often lost way of life, you will want to get this.? I have a couple copies for sale, but you may check the Above Rubies website as well.? Email me at??? jane@vvn.net if you want to buy a copy from me and we’ll make arrangements.
The second dvd is called Rejuvenate with Serene and focuses on the basics of healthy eating.? This can be enjoyed by the whole family and is available from Above Rubies.? Serene is one of Nancy Campbell’s daughters.? There are recipes included and an interview with Nancy Campbell.? You will enjoy seeing Serene at work in her kitchen preparing different dishes and discussing the importance of healthy eating.
