"Home Makers Mentor" Review

Many of you have asked me to comment on the "Home Makers Mentor" subscription and give you my opinion.  I have been busier since the beginning of the year than I though I would be, so I have yet to complete any of the assignments or do much more than read the lessons.  Please bear this in mind as I give my opinion.

So far, the lessons have been on: cleaning the master bedroom, growing your own herbs,  and cooking beans.  It is the end of February and these have been the only lessons so far.  To be honest, I was expecting more lessons than only three in the first two months.  That being said, the lessons give a great amount of detail and instruction.  I am definitely looking forward to start growing my own herbs and using them in daily cooking rather than store bought dried herbs.  The writing of the lessons is very friendly, like a true mentor would be. 

One of the perks of purchasing the subscription is the ability to participate in the forum.  Same type of forum as you see in Sonlight or My Father's World.  This can be a great resource for getting encouragement as well as additional help with the assignments.

So, all in all, I have enjoyed the subscription so far.  However, I am still not sure if the product is worth the price.  It is a very expensive membership and I have not seen enough come out of it to truly make me feel like the investment was worthwhile for me. 

I'm sorry to hear that.
