... More Than Rubies Monday - a new meme! ...
I have participated in several daily memes for a while - Menu Plan Monday, Tackle It Tuesday, Works for Me Wednesday and Frugal Friday are my favorites. Because my current focus is to be a better child of God, wife, mother and homemaker, I have decided to start my own meme on Mondays - "More than Rubies Monday."
In corresponding with Proverbs 31, I want to encourage other women to not get bogged down in the monotony of the daily routine. Our job as SAHMs is soooo very important! Many of us have part-time jobs, too ... whether that be working outside the home, online from your own computer or saving money by couponing and yard saling. All of those things bring in extra money for your family. However, to get it all done takes organization and diligence. Trust me, there are days when I don't feel like doing what needs to be done, but I know that I can't slack off or my family will suffer.
I'm not sure of the direction that this meme will go, but here are some ideas off of the top of my head ... I'd like for us to share tips about what works for us to keep motivated to "stay the course." I'd love to share daily schedules and tips for staying organized while working from home, whatever that may be. I'd also like to share ideas for keeping our marriages strong and things we do to support our husbands in their jobs. We also might discuss what we are doing to train up our daughters to be Proverbs 31 women and how we are helping our sons to find a woman "worth more than rubies."
I have created some buttons and banners for you to use on your blog to link back to my main post. You can grab those banners (featured below) on this page. Just right-click to save and link them to the category http://www.homesteadblogger.com/athomewithkris/More%2BThan%2BRubies%2BMonday/. If you need help with creating the coding for a button to link back to me, just ask and I'll be happy to help! If you'd like for me to create your own banner using one of those below but with a different verse from Proverbs 31, just ask! (Scroll down past banners for more info!)

the banner above is only good if you have a white background!





I know that a lot of memes use Mr. Linky for people to add their post to, but that is a paid feature. Until I know whether this meme is going to take off, I'm just going to ask that you post a comment giving the link to your "More than Rubies Monday" post.
Because this is something new, I am not going to post a question for the week. However, I would like to see if there is interest in this meme, so leave a comment if you think you might participate, even if it won't be every week. I look forward to learning more about you!
