Hi friends!! Consider this the first official post, pre-launch of the new site! The site isn’t fully complete yet, but it’s functional, so bear with us as we get it all in order!

After the release of this book, Sarah Mae developed a second set of challenges that are more routine based. As we go through the book, you are welcome to do either set of challenges. Whatever fits into your season of life.

The first set of challenges are found within the book, at the end of each day.

The second set of challenges is found on the 31 Days to clean website, and you need to own the book to access them. You can find them here.

So how this will work:

Each “day”, a contributor or guest poster of Homemakers Challenge will post here their own experience and ideas stemming from each chapter title of the book. It will be inspiring, challenging, witty, motivating, etc. Posts will be Mon-Fri, from Sept. 1-Oct. 14th., so the 31 days is not consecutive.

If you miss a day of challenges, please do not quit. Pick up where we are and continue on. There is no room for perfectionism here! We’re looking for progress and productivity, not perfection.

Each Friday I will have a link up for those of you who would like to share your progress. I encourage you to do this because it helps with accountability. It also invites us to come encourage you!

Here’s how the challenge will work:

1. Read the chapters each day that week. Highlight, take notes, do what you have to do to engage the material. Don’t just read it. Really allow it to change you. Journal, pray, look up scriptures.
2. Write a post (or more, if you like) sharing your most challenging chapter for that week and give us a personal glimpse as to why you struggle in this area. Don’t worry! We all have an area of struggle, so we will all be sharing! Share what you need that could help you in that area. I will be posting a struggle, but also some extra solutions to accompany what Sarah Mae has offered. If you feel compelled, why not also share something that comes easily for you? Perhaps you could offer tips to others who may be struggling?
3. Use the button in your post so that others can find their way back in case they would like to join us. The more the merrier! You can find the button in the sidebar.
4. Link up your post(s) on Friday, beginning September 9th . It doesn’t matter what day you choose to write your post, you can still link it up on Friday.
