The Queen of Quite Alot

~Come to me, my bride, my queen you shall be. Song of Songs 4:8~

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil
is for good men to do nothing.-Edmund Burke

~*~ Keeping a Homestead Notebook ~*~

**This is an entry from last year I had on my homeschool blog:



I have, over the years been somewhat obsessed with that wonderful woman described in such glowing terms in the 31st chapter of Proverbs.
I have had small groups meet for the purpose of studying to be more like her. I have studied alot personally, and of course have come to the conclusion that while not totally elusive, it is a pretty high standard to live up to for a woman like me. I have settled for this being a "continuous education" type thing!
Thus the title "Proverbs 31 in Progress..."

After getting my hands on Lisa and Guy's New Harvest Homestead newsletter I mentioned *(with a link!) in my previous entry, I have been inspired to new heights! and decided to consolidate my many notebooks on the various aspects of my Proverbs 31 studies, which have quite alot to do with homesteading and homekeeping. I took my notebooks on herbs, gardening, cheese and soap making, nutrition, and put them all in one notebook. The picture you see above is the cover of my new, big, notebook.

Here is the table of contents: (I have divided the sections to fit my own life, so another person's would look totally different.)

CONTENTS:

Homemaking
Cleaning & Organization
Decorating
Home made Soaps
Natural cleaners

Food
Health & Nutrition
Favorite Recipes

New Harvest Homestead Newsletters


These can be added to easily, as my notebooks are usually growing and changing with me.
I keep the catologs I use in the appropriate section in thick page protectors. I also keep articles, newsletters, and magazine clippings, etc.
I feel so organized now! Everything in one place. Very nice. I still have a couple other notebooks for the barn records, animals registration papers, milking records, reciepts, etc. But, at least now the things I'm working on learning and have learned are in one place, and I can easily share them with my children and those who are looking for a little help who are just starting out with one of my topics.

If you have anything to share with me for my notebook, leave a comment!
It may help somebody else, too.

This was a wonderful idea! As we plan our move to Alaska this will be a wonderful way for me to organize all my research and experience.

Thanks.
