**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.
