Modern homemaking is incredible. We have access to so many products, books, podcasts, and services that make our lives easier! Here are a few of my favorites.
Scroll to find ebooks I’ve written, and well as products I use in my every-day life!
MY EBOOKS
Homemaking Activities for Every Season has 350 total activities for the modern homemaker. From crafts to cleaning, there’s nothing I haven’t covered!
I also include check lists and bucket lists so you can celebrate each season with cheer and triumph.
Homemaker and Happy Product Recommendations
These are all tried and true resources. They need to stand up against a lot in our home! DIY projects, toddlers, and animals, just to name a few. So whether you’re looking at my favorite steam mop or an encouraging homemaking book, I hope you know you’re looking at products my family and I truly use and truly love.

The Lifegiving Home by Sally Clarkson
Home
Bissell Power Fresh Steam Mop – This mop only needs distilled water, and the mop pads are washable. Such a great product!
Nature’s Miracle Oxy Formula – I’m all for natural remedies, but this is my go-to stain remover!
Happy Planner Paper Planner – I love keeping my home organized with my Happy Planner! I can also embellish my planner with stickers and inserts like to-do lists and budget planners to keep all areas of my life in order.
Kitchen
Cast Iron Skillet – Cast iron has replaced griddles, saute pans, and fry pans for my family. Such a great tool!
Wondermill Electric Grain Mill – I have fallen in love with grinding my own grains! This model has a filter that keeps the freshly milled flour from “decorating” my kitchen.
Silicone Butter Mold – I save fat from ground beef and make my own butter. This butter mold allows me to shape and measure everything! Each container holds 8 tablespoons of product. And it’s freezer safe!
Freezer-Safe Deli Containers – These are incredible! Not only are they freezer safe, but they are dishwasher safe! They’re easy to clean, store, and use. And they come in a variety of sizes!
Building a Home-Based Business
I am a mom to the two most precious kiddos. I homeschool our children, raise some of our food, and grow my relationships with close friends and family. I’m a busy mama!
When I got bit by the entrepreneurial bug, I knew I needed to invest in programs and products that worked for me. I don’t need more things to do – I need the best possible tools to grow the ideas I already have!
Create Your Blog Dream Blogging How To Course
I had a dream of funneling my writing skills into a blog to earn money. And Lisa showed me exactly how to do that! I’m so thankful she distilled her 10 plus years of online experience into easy-to-digest videos, worksheets, and a Facebook group.

Rank IQ Keyword Research Service
In blogging, the name of the game is eyes on your blog. But in order to get eyes on your blog, you need to write posts that your audience is actually searching for.
Enter in – Rank IQ.
RankIQ is an artificial intelligence-driven keyword research service that focuses on just that – keywords. Other keyword research services will highlight data that isn’t helpful or necessary to a blog. We need to know how to rank, and RankIQ gives me the information I need to achieve that goal. Did I mention it was developed by a man who became a millionaire himself via his blogs? These are tried and true methods.
What’s more – the entire Rank IQ team is nothing but helpful and prompt when answering questions and resolving issues. In this business, time can be a critical part of what we do. The Rank IQ team respects that!
If you’re interested in creating a blog and want to get a jump start on ranking on Google, I highly recommend Rank IQ. When you use my affiliate link, you directly support my business. Thank you for supporting Homemaker and Happy!
Email Service – Kit
There are several email services out there. My favorite is Kit (formerly Convert Kit). In the beginning, your pricing is free for up to 1,000 subscribers. From there, the price changes per month based on what your goal for your blog is.

Blogging Equipment
This camera is an upgraded version of the camera I use. Learning to use a camera is an incredible tool to add to your tool belt!
An external hard drive will help you store all of your graphics and raw images.
A tripod is a great investment, especially if you’re creating all of your own content!
Mobile Point-of-Sale System – Square
I make and sell a line of clean beauty products alongside my other backyard homestead projects with my other blog, The Learning Life.
I needed a mobile point-of-sale system that was easy to set up, easy to use, and quick to resolve issues. Square was the answer to all my problems!
The website is a bit of a learning curve, and after more than a year of using them, that’s been my only complaint. I recommend this service to all of my other stay-at-home mamas hustlin’ in their own home-based businesses.
