Hi, I'm Jami Balmet if we haven't met already. My husband Jason and I have been running our online business since 2015 (I started my blog way back in 2009)! But in 2015, we took the leap to have Jason quite his corporate job (that was killing him) and come home to be the CEO of our fledgling business.

Throughout the years God has been so kind to allow this small business to be our family's full time income (although the amount of work that goes into running a small business IS staggering 😂), while also growing our family with 7, almost 8 children!

We've launched our extremely popular podcasts, hosted 10 years of online conferences, written books, produced audiobooks, and so much more.

Throughout the years, as our interests and the needs of our audience has grown, we spread ourselves thin with many different projects. While it was an exhausting time, the result is hundreds of hours of online training videos, a children's book series about the National Parks, and countless other incredible resources.

We decided it was finally time to simplify this all and take our content creation to the next level. BUT the key piece missing was the technology.

We've had the dream for years about building our own REAL app. But the tech was either beyond us (we are not coders) or it cost a good $30k to get started. This has all changed this year with access to some incredible new technology which has made our dream come true.

The Joyful Home App is the result of more than a decade of hard work producing Biblical, Gospel Centered resources for families. Our emphasis is on thoroughly Biblical resources that are practical and can be put into real action in your home.

Finally you can find absolutely everything we do online all in one place. All of our digital resources will be here (keep checking back because Jason is working hard getting everything uploaded. I wouldn't be surprised if multiple new things pop up each day throughout the rest of March)!!

AND simplifying and having everything all in one place will allow us to finally get to the new resources you have been asking for! Launching this new app will allow us this year to tackle our most requested products from you guys including:

• Bring back the Titus 2 Minute Podcast (set to relaunch in Spring 2024)
• Start back up Baking School with Jami (set to relaunch in Spring 2024)
• Dive back into the Household Hermeneutics Podcast (set to release Summer 2024)
• Produce our 2024 Finding Joy in Your Home Online Conference (that's right, instead of a $40-60 ticket, you'll get this year's conference (INCLUDED in your app subscription 😱)
• Record lots of new audiobooks
• Write our theology basics booklets + audiobooks
• Tackle new projects like book review videos and more
• Jami has several books she would like to write on topics you've requested (like time management & productivity, a beginner's guide to healthy living, and surviving life with little kids)
• Writing Sterling Spectacles books #7 & #8

And these are just our FIRST projects we are going to tackle. We also have big dreams of new video courses, documentaries (oooh these ideas are fun, I can't wait to share with you), resources for kids, and so much more.

By putting all of our eggs in one basket, it will allow us to do so much more. And it just so happens to be a MASSIVE win win as you then get access to everything we do.

If you've ever seen our latest conference or Bootcamp and wished you could participate, but too many new products just add up, then this is terrific news. You will no longer have to pay separately for all of those things!

Moving forward, we are combining ALL of our paid digital resources into ONE thing: The Joyful Home App. 

In our business, we are constantly working on new projects, new bootcamps, new courses, etc that all require a fee (usually $20-60 apiece). Each time something new comes out, you have to decide if it's worth that extra cost or not. But with the app, you'll no longer have to make that decision. 

So for example, our 2024 Finding Joy in Your Home Online Conference will be coming up in May. This conference would normally be $60 for a ticket to this 3-4 day conference. But now, with this change, all you need is your app subscription and you will get full access to the conference. 

If you are not an app subscriber, guess what? You can sign up for just May, pay $10 and attend the entire conference! Or instead, pay for 6 months of the app with the same fee you would pay in past years for that 1 conference. 

But your $10 doesn't just give you access to the conference, it will give you access to new audiobooks, training videos, tutorials, eBooks, past online conferences and so so so much more. 

Then, let's say July rolls around and we teach a new meal planning bootcamp (or something similar). This bootcamp would normally cost $20-40 to attend. But you get it right along in your $10 subscription. OR sign up just for July and attend the BootCamp! 

You can see that while this app will greatly simplify our life and ability to give you guys even MORE, it also ends up saving you so much money in the long run AND you get to participate in absolutely everything! I call this a win-win-win-win 💪😍

By the way: You absolutely can sign up for a month, cancel, then sign up again later. You are never locked into anything :) Come and go as you need!!

The best way to really see what this new project is, is to just jump over to the website and check it out. Keep in mind, the app right now is at it's bare bones. Just today, Jason got 10 new video courses uploaded to the back end that will go live over this weekend. So stay tuned as this resource just keeps doubling in size 🙌

You can access the app from a computer browser, your mobile browser, or by downloading the apple app, or the android app. Because of all the additional fees from Apple and Andriod, it's cheapest to sign up on the web and then you can download the app and sign in from there!

We can't wait to develop this app further with your input and see some incredible new resources this year (and into the future)!!

in Christ,
Jami and Jason Balmet (and our entire crew)!
