Keepers At Home Handbook

I love this little gem of a book. It has great ideas for teaching your daughter all of life’s most basic homemaking skills! Each new skill has book recommendations, projects, and scripture verses to memorize. My daughter and I really enjoy picking a skill and working on it together. It has given her an added incentive to memorize scripture and read the Bible all the way through as well. I have the older version, and can’t wait to see how they improved on the new one! I highly recommend this product! I also have the Contenders book, and like it as well.
