The Simple Mom’s Idea BookSimpleMomIdeasCover-small,jpg 

While starting life as a new wife and then mom to three children, Deborah Taylor-Hough always wished for a personal mentor.  Someone who could take her under their wing and show her the ropes of being a stay-at-home mom, live on a single income, survive in a tough economy, educate her three lively kids, and rais children who grew to be successful adults who reflected the character of their Savior.

Well, that mentor she’d hoped and prayed for never appeared.

Not to be deterred, Debi kept plugging away.  She also kept notes as she went about her day-to-day life, convinced that someday she may have opportunity to be that mentor she’d always longed for in her own life; a friendly guiding hand for someone else just starting out a similar life path.  Following her husband’s diagnosis with a rare degenerative brain disorder, she also learned firsthand about the special challenges of single parenting.

Now that two of her children are grown and a third is starting high school, Debi’s beginning to see the fruit of her labors over the years; a loving family with kids who truly have grown into the image of Christ.  And she even learned a thing or two about cooking and cleaning along the way.

The Simple Mom’s Idea Book contains tips and suggestions for everything from cooking, saving money, celebrating the holidays, and just generally raising a family.

So if you’ve been looking for some simple ideas for life and homemaking … from someone who’s been around the block more than once or twice … look no further.

Have no fear, the Simple Mom is here!
