Throughout history homemakers have appreciated tools that help to lighten their load. A glance back at the past shows what a big difference electric appliances have made to the housewife; conveniences that we are so used to now that we rarely even stop to think about them.mechanical servants

In our current culture we are not only blessed with our electronic servants, but we have a host of digital ones at our fingertips as well. As a busy, technology loving, homeschooling mother of a large family I have found these digital tools to be huge helps and time savers in juggling all of my many responsibilities.

newwaylivingWith my handy dandy, trusty iPhone and laptop at my side I can organize recipes, plan my children’s education, assign lessons, create chore lists, educate myself, work my home servantsfbusiness, organize my days, take and save pictures, shop for almost all of my family’s needs (including food), manage our finances, capture memories, communicate with others, read or listen to books, look at my calendar…the list goes on.

It can be overwhelming to know exactly where to begin when it comes to the digital world. What devices do we need? What apps do we use? What is useful? What isn’t? How do we set it all up?

I thought I would share with you what I have learned over the years through lots of trial and error. Here is where I will write about many of my favorite digital resources including devices, apps, tips, hacks, websites, educational and homeschool helps, software and more.

I ‘ll also be collecting links here to some of my favorite posts on digital tools from other bloggers that have been hugely helpful to me.

I’d love to hear from you as well! If you have a favorite app, or program, or  are a fellow technology loving homemaker and would like to write a guest post on this topic please leave a comment or drop me a line.

“Thus out of small beginnings greater things hav “Thus out of small beginnings greater things have been produced by His hand that made all things of nothing, and gives being to all things that are; and, as one small candle may light a thousand, so the light here kindled hath shone unto many...”
William Bradford

Thank you for your example Emily - for so beautifully living this out in your daily, obedient, God glorifying faithfulness.  #vigilforem
"So they committed themselves to the will of God, "So they committed themselves to the will of God, and resolved to proceed." ~ William Bradford
"...they cherished a great hope and inward zeal of "...they cherished a great hope and inward zeal of laying good foundations, or at least making some ways toward it, for the propagation and advance of the gospel of the kingdom of Christ in the remote parts of the world, even though they should be but stepping stones to others in the performance of so great a work." ~ William Bradford
"They brought up their families, in sturdy virtue "They brought up their families, in sturdy virtue and a living faith in God, without which Nations perish." ~ Pilgrim Mother's Monument, Plymouth, MA
Fellow Christians, don’t let the Left shame you Fellow Christians, don’t let the Left shame you into accepting defeat. The media does not get to decide who is the President of the United States. 

Standing and fighting for truth is NOT being a “sore loser”. Recognizing and acknowledging that fraud is being committed, and calling for justice to be served, is not only absolutely appropriate, it’s crucial. There IS a time to stand and fight. There IS a time to draw a line in the sand. 

The election of a President isn’t on the same level as sports. The future of our country hangs in the balance. This isn’t about having a good, fair game and then laughing and shaking hands and slapping each other on the back and continuing with life as usual. 

Nor is this just “politics”. You cannot separate politics from morality. There is right, and there is wrong. The Left stands and fights for things that fly in the face of God. The Left creates gods in their own image. The Left tramples the Word of God. The Left is determined to allow babies to literally be brutally tortured and murdered and offered on the altars of their false gods. The Left has spent months sowing discord, rewriting history, redefining words, rioting, looting, killing, and burning down the country. 

Consider these things before you capitulate to manipulation and gas lighting and blame shifting. 

Consider these things before you try to be a “good sport” and congratulate Joe Biden, or say “God bless him”, or wish him well. Think long and hard about what you are actually doing and whose side you are on: 

“For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.” 2 John 1:11

Pray. This is a war that is being waged in the heavenlies. Stand firm. Draw the line. Hold the line. Fight for truth. Our God is the God of Truth and He wins. The battle is the Lord’s.
“Autumn, the years last, loveliest smile.” - W “Autumn, the years last, loveliest smile.” - William Cullens Bryant
