Polished Cornerstones Review {and Giveaway!}

By

Welcome to 30 Days of Homemaking for Girls at Homegrown Mom, Sponsored by Plan to Eat – Simple Meal Planning

Are you looking for a homemaking curriculum for your girls of all ages?

Check out Polished Cornerstones, Projects for Daughters on the Path to Womanhood! I have been hearing about this curriculum for a while and I’ve been longing to try it out with my own girls. Imagine how happy I was when Doorposts offered to send me a copy to review.

Ok, I have a confession. I actually asked them to send me a copy! I’ve never used my blogger status to try to get free stuff, but this book inspired me to try for the first time. Furthermore, I knew that Homegrown Mom readers might like a shot at a free copy, too, and Doorposts generously agreed to bestow one copy upon a blessed reader.

Here is why you want to win this:
In this massive, spiral bound volume, 52 Characteristics of the Proverbs 31 Woman are taught.

Each of the 52 lessons consists of various suggestions to teach girls how to develop these characteristics at 3 different age levels: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. However, many of the lessons can be combined to include all ages.

Lessons include: Memory verses, Reading selections, Questions to discuss, Scripture passages to read, Projects to do, and more. Several lessons include charts and worksheets to fill in.

I literally wept when I was reviewing this book. To have these qualities laid out to teach, and knowing that I get to be the one to teach them honestly moved me to tears. I am so looking forward to projects, chats over tea, and most of all, digging into God’s Word to see what He says about being a Virtuous Woman.

The author, Pam Forster, recommends planning out one month at a time and choosing from the extensive menu of activities for one lesson. She suggests setting aside a couple of hours a couple times a week. If you do plan one lesson per month, this book will last you years!

I love her idea of planning to answer some of the questions with dad over an ice cream. And guess what? Eric and the girls love it, too! A homemaking curriculum that involves Dad? I know you want it now!

That is what is so unique and cool about this curriculum. At its core, it is about discipling your daughters in the Lord. Along the way, you’ll teach them lots of skills and train them in many areas of homemaking and Godly living, but all of it goes back to God’s Word and spending time with your girls.

The Details:
To enter, leave a comment telling me how many daughters you have. This giveaway will close Saturday, May 21.

The winner will be picked at random.

    I only have one 2 year old BOY. However, I think this curriculum would be a great way to start a young women’s ministry at my church. I lead our women’s ministry but I do have a heart for reaching younger girls and teaching them how to be women of God. Of course, if our next child is a girl, then I would use it to teach her as well.

    Thanks for hosting!

    I have a 15 year old daughter that is greatly in need of some Godly love. I have the book for boys, Plants Grow Up, and it is great! I would love to have this one as well. Thanks so much for hosting a giveaway!

    Oh, I really want this book. I have one little girl… and most likely my only one in the middle of two brothers. She’s three and I’m looking forward to using this curriculum some day. I’d love to win it!!

    The boy one looks great too!

  9. AnnMarie says

    I have 2 daughters. My oldest, Emily, turns 10 on the 20th of May. She has been counting down! My youngest, Selma, was 4 in December. We would love to add this to our shelf of goodies.

    I really am enjoying your blog about raising daughters. I want them to transition into womanhood with confidence and comfort. I don’t want them to be unprepared and unknowledgeable!

    Thanks for sharing this great curriculum!

  10. Angela says

    I have two daughters 21 and 9. I also have another young lady dear to my heart in my home and she is 19. Thanks for sharing this with us!

  22. Lisa says

    I would love to win this! I have one daughter-she is our oldest and we are sorely outnumbered here!!! I have three sons! SO thankful for all of God’s blessings but hope in the future we can add a sister to the mix! This curriculum would be such a blessing!

  23. Karen says

    I have one daughter, age 11, who has 4 older brothers. She loves being a girl and tries very hard to live the life of a girl, despite the lack of encouragement from her big brothers who treat her like one of them. This book would be a great help to both of us to live the lives of Proverbs 31 women

  26. Tammy S says

    I have 3 daughters, 26, 24 and 11. I wish I had this book when my older girls were still at home. (have to mention I also have a 9 yo boy).

  27. valerie says

    Blessings,

    Valerie
