Creating a "Heritage Home."

This month we had our corporate sponsored Utah Regional training held at the Courtyard Marriott in Sandy, UT. It is a chance for our consultants to receive valuable training and information for their business, as well as recognition for their hard work and acheivements. We were privledged to have a member of our team, Debbie Rasmussen, speak to us about Scanning, as well as members of our home office team.


Friday night, there was a business showcase with amazing displays and ideas for all the Heritage Makers projects we could be using to decorate with and create a "Heritage Home." Creating a Heritage Home is more than just sitting your projects around the house for all to enjoy. It is about making projects with your family in mind. Creating things that will be meaningful and uplifting to you and your individual family members. Letting each child know they are special by designing posters and decor with positive values and memories to decorate each room. Hanging a family calendar in the kitchen with photos and birthdays of the important people in your lives. Making your house a home that your family can't wait to come back to at the end of each day.

We have a creative bunch of men and women here at Heritage Makers, and the ideas were amazing. I am including some photos of the displays to help you get an idea of what I am referring to. Many of these projects are available as templates in the template gallery. And some of them you can get directly through me. But did you know what wonderful things you can create through your Heritage Makers account??

A child who grows up in a home with such decorations will know that she is loved. She will know that she is an important part of her family, and that her live has meaning and purpose. A child who grows up with photos of his ancestors on the walls and in storybooks, will know of his heritage and where he came from. He will know that he came from a line of hard workers, or pioneers, or farmers, or whatever the case may be. This gives a child security and focus and direction. It causes him to want to follow in footsteps of those stalwart relatives, or to avoid particular paths that may not have been so good. It teaches a child who they are and what they can become. I challenge you to create a heritage home for YOUR family. I would love to help you do that, so please contact me at simplestorybooks@gmail.com or leave a comment on this post and I will get in touch with YOU!
