Simplify Your Family Life E-book Sale

April 16, 2012

I really pleased this morning to tell you about a collaborative project I was asked to participate in.

Mandi Ehman from Life Your Way and Corey Allan at Simple Marriage have put together an e-book package.

This package is chock full (seriously packed) with e-books on family living. Everything from menu planning to marriage advice, including my e-book Nurturing Creativity. I'm a bit overwhelmed actually at what's included in this sale. Resources I think many of you would be interested in.

Here's a few titles in this sale that immediately caught my eye.

Kitchen & Food. Got Dinner? Quick & Easy Recipes, Real Food Basics, Smart Sweets, Plan It Don't Panic, and The Everything Beans Book (beans are a daily staple in my kitchen). My disclaimer: these are not vegan resources and I would pick and choose carefully before using them personally. But I realize many (most? nearly all?) FIMBY readers are not vegans or even plant-based eaters. I think a large majority of the population would find these e-books helpful.
Blogging & Creative Mompreneur. Some of you have been asking me about blogging. Some of the questions you have are out of my realm and are better addressed by these e-books. How to Have Your Cake and Eat it Too*, Blogger Behave, Your Blogging Business, and 25 Simple Steps to Making Money Blogging. Also, Tap Into Your Unique Creativity & Self Expression video from Lisa Byrne. I'm particularly interested in watching this video.
Simplicity & Simple Living. 3-2-1, Inside Out Simplicity, and Simple Ways to Be More With Less. There are more minimalist titles, you'll see the full list below.
Home management. I eat this stuff up. One Bite at a Time*, Tell Your Time, and The Weekly Household Planner from The Confident Mom (I love her pretty pages).
Natural Living. From what I can see, these are excellent resources for making your own natural body and homecare products. Clean Start, My Buttered Life, and Food On Your Face.
Parenting. Parenting with Positive Guidance, Flourishing Spring (there are some great ideas in here perfect for right now, I like it), Mindset for Moms*, and Truth in Tinsel: An Advent Experience for Little Hands.

I've briefly listed a few titles that relate to what I write about at FIMBY. Or resources I think some of you would be interested in based on the e-mails and comments you send me. (*These are the e-books I have read and recommend based on personal experience.)

But there is much more in this package. Here's the complete list of 38 titles you get when you purchase the Simplify Family Life collection. (Don't get overwhelmed. Take it slow.)

One more thing - The Simplify Your Family Life Sale is brought to you in part by Plan to Eat, an online meal planner that makes eating at home simple. Receive an exclusive coupon code on a one-year membership with your purchase.

Here's the deal. The Simplify Your Family Life e-Book Sale gets you instant access to all those resources for just $29.

This is a good deal. Even if you don't read half of them.

Honestly, it's overwhelming to me how much stuff you get with this package. The irony of or course is that it would complicate your life, not simplify it, if you tried to read these all at once. These are a year's worth, easily, of how-to/self-help type resources. Take your time.

Click here to purchase the complete collection. This link takes you to Life Your Way where you actually make the purchase.

Just so you know, this is an affiliate marketing program. Whatever site you link from to purchase the collection (lots of great bloggers - all those listed above - will be promoting the sale this week) the affiliate income will go to that blogger.

If you choose to purchase from FIMBY that directly supports our family and the work I do here, and I appreciate your support.

The sale ends Friday morning at 8am EST. That gives you a couple days to hem and haw, but really, if you've ever considered buying even a few of these resources, this is an excellent deal to take advantage of now.

I'm so glad you mentioned the affiliate part....I almost purchased this somewhere else this morning. Now I'm glad I waited as I know you best of all the bloggers I "know". : )

Can I give away the ebooks I already own or know I won't read/use myself? How do you feel about that?

  I can only speak for myself. I don't have a problem with you giving my book away to someone if you buy another copy through this.

I have already read a few of the titles mentioned here (okay, quite a few) and if they are any indication of the whole package, it's a great one. I will definitely be downloading as soon as I get a chance. Thanks for letting your readers know Renee, and congrats on being including.

I am so happy to hear about this! Many of the books (including yours) are ones I have wanted to read. However, with a very tight budget, I usually have to curb my appetite for reading/learning to what I can get from the library and through bartering.

Yes, in our home, we consider buying an e-book here and an e-book there as detrimental to our budget as the coffee habit is to some other folks' family finances. Thus, I cannot usually "justify" purchasing such books. I just note them and wait for the time when our spending diet is less strict.

However, as soon as I read your post today, I grabbed my husband on his way out the door and asked him if we might "splurge" since this is such a phenomenal deal. It is one that will help us by giving us some new food for thought and practical tips and it will help you as an affiliate (which is something I want to do since you are a writer I try to read when life allows me time to actually sit, read and digest thoughts and I want to support you.)

So, thank you for being a part of this and for sharing.

PS "The irony of or course is that it would complicate your life, not simplify it, if you tried to read these all at once. These are a year's worth, easily, of how-to/self-help type resources. Take your time." is oh so true. As mum to three little ones, homeschooler and part-time independent contractor, it WILL take me e year or more to get through all of these and even though I will really want to read them all NOW, I need to heed your advice and to go slowly!!!

Renee, I downloaded the set yesterday and am wondering if you know if the PDFs can be read in Kindle form? I have just transferred bundle 1 and 2 to my iPad and there were only two ebooks so far that were in a format for an ereader (defaulted to iBooks). Or, if you know of any FAQs for technical questions, I'd love to read those. Thanks in advance!

  I figured it out. There is a special email address to use to send docs such as PDFs to the Kindle app. If anyone wants more details, email me at jennifer@kidoing.com.

Bought the set through here and just wanted to say that if anybody was thinking about buying them, don't wait, it's very much worth it,even if you only like a few of the books. I printed out a couple that I want to read now and then will probably print the others another time or read them on my kindle.I really am pleased with this purchase...especially with the one about making money through blogging...that's another ebook I have been wanting to read,so thanks again for sharing Renee or I might not have known about this deal! :)
