Planning to be Serendipitous

I’ll admit I’m a Type A. Planning is my middle name. So is List. So is Calendar. My name is Natalie Planning List Calender Klejwa. I’m a Type A Wacko Nut.

How about you? Are you the serendipitous type? The free spirit who just enjoys life as it smashes you in the face?

I seriously envy you sometimes. I mean, how easy breezy is that? To flitter float around with a song in your heart, a bounce in your step, and chocolate on your face? I want that. I do. Especially the chocolate. Wanna know how I get there?

I make a plan. (Don’t you just love irony?) I also read about making plans. And that’s what today’s post is all about, because even if you never actually make a plan because you are on planet La La having a good time, you can always READ about making a plan – and that’s the next best thing to having one.

As you are MORE than aware by now – there is a Homemaking Bundle sale going on right now (TODAY IS THE LAST DAY!), of which I am a part. This means I, along with 4,959 other Christian bloggers, am blasting you with information about the bundle so that you will buy it. I’m trying to make it as interesting and informative and applicable as possible.

I don’t want to pressure anyone to buy the bundle if it isn’t your thing. But if you DO want the bundle – I DO want you to buy it through my link because, frankly, I make money off that purchase. Since I don’t advertise on this blog – this bundle sale is one of the only ways I make the money I need to run this blog.  (Please don’t throw up because I’ve said that 4,398 times in the last 6 days.)

The other reason I want you to buy it through my particular link is because I’d love to give you $10 to my online store, Apple Valley Natural Soap. Basically, I’m giving you back some of what I make off your bundle purchase, because I don’t need to keep it ALL to myself.

By the way, if you can’t afford the bundle right now because it’s the end of the month and discretionary funds are at ZERO – did you know you can still order the bundle and have your credit card charged ON MAY 1st? Well, you can! Go HERE if you’d like to order the PDF bundle, and go HERE if you want the Kindle bundle (which also includes the PDF copies). On May 1st your card will be charged the full amount, and you’ll get your downloads and bonuses. At that time you can send me your invoice ID number to get your bonus $10 gift code for Apple Valley Natural Soap. But be SURE to use the links in this paragraph to get that bonus.

So back to the planning thing. This bundle has some great planning resources I’d like to draw your attention to. These are the kinds of things I stay up late at night reading. I love this stuff. Remember my middle name?

I was immediately attracted to this shelf. Doesn’t that sound selfish? Get over it. If you don’t take care of yourself, you die. If you die, you can’t take care of anyone else. OK? So let’s throw off the satanic guilt trip and be free. Here’s what we’ve got going:

• 21 Days to a More Disciplined Life by Crystal @ Money Saving Mom ($4.99)
• Equipped: Because You’ve Been Made to Live On Purpose by Elisa @ More to Be ($6.99)
• Live for Him: A Grace-Filled Look at Planning by Leigh Ann @ Intentional By Grace ($2.99)
• The Busy Homeschool Mom’s Guide to Daylight: Managing Your Days Through the Homeschool Years by Heidi @ The Busy Mom ($10.00)
• Your Retreat: A Guide to Giving Yourself a Personal Planning Day by Erin @ The Humbled Homemaker

The value here is exactly what the bundle costs. About thirty bucks. (Erin is going to be selling her book for five bucks if I’m remembering correctly.) So it’s like you pay for these books so you can be a rock star planning person – and you get 78 other resources FREE – PLUS 10 offers worth over $15 each from different online companies FREE – PLUS if you buy it right here and send me your invoice ID # - I’ll give you a $10 credit to my online store. FREE. (Do I sound like a broken record? It will all be over tomorrow and by the end of the week we’ll be back to talking about abuse and chaos. I promise.)
