  • Healthy Living Bundle!!!


    Do you ever feel overwhelmed by healthy living?

    It’s not that you don’t understand or agree with why it matters. You’re sold on the merits of eating whole foods, raising healthier kids, avoiding toxins and chemicals, getting fit, and using alternative remedies.

    But sometimes it’s a whole lot easier to say than to actually do, right? Believe me, I’ve had the same struggles and questions as you. What on earth do you eat (and especially, what do you feed your kids)? How do you afford to buy healthier products? And where do you find the time to make and do all this stuff?

    I know what it’s like to feel that healthy living shouldn’t be this hard, and it shouldn’t have to cost so much, either! Don’t you ever wish someone would just tell you exactly what you need to know and how to make these changes for less?

    Because when you have the right info and tools at your fingertips, it all comes together so much more easily.

    You know what to cook for your family. You’re more confident in choosing natural alternatives. You find ways to save money without comprising on what’s important to you.

    You learn to replace store-bought products with DIY options that actually work and are easy to make. You feel better (and even look better, too). Healthy living becomes less stressful and more enjoyable.

    That’s why Stephanie and her team have put together the popular Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle for the fifth year in a row (hurray!). They’re amazed at how many families are saying “yes!” to their health (over 64,000 and counting!) and taking them up on this super short opportunity to get a complete library of natural living resources for one teeny tiny price.

    You sort of need to see it to believe it, but the package includes 83 digital products and it’s worth over $2,400!

    • For the cost of a small bag of groceries, you’ll get a complete healthy living library to help you:
    • prepare whole & delicious real food
    • get the toxins out of your house for good
    • understand and use natural remedies
    • breathe new life into your exercise habits
    • learn about important women’s health issues
    • raise exceptionally healthy kids in an unhealthy world
    • plus learn about gardening & homesteading, meal planning, weight loss and so much more!

    Plus, it comes with over $250 worth of bonus offers including:

    1. Bloom Naturals – $15 gift certificate toward any product ($15 value)
    2. Perfect Supplements – $15 gift certificate toward any Perfect Brand product ($15 value)
    3. TriLight Health – $15 off select TriLight products ($15 value)
    4. MadeOn Skin Care – FREE BeeCool Muscle Balm Stick and Natural Lip Balm Combo (value $15.25)
    5. The Maca Team – FREE Organic Gelatinized Yellow Maca Powder, 8 oz. ($15.44 value)
    6. Primal Life Organics – FREE 1-ounce jar of Dirty Mouth Toothpowder ($15.97 value)
    7. Get Kombucha – FREE 2-week supply (15 ml) of Kombucha Pro: Liquid Probiotics (value $29.99) AND/OR a FREE 1-ounce bag of 8. Get Kombucha’s Custom Organic Kombucha Tea Blend (value $15.99)
    8. Orglamix – FREE Mineral Eye Shadow Trio ($18 value)
    9. Experience Life – 4 FREE digital guides (value $29.99)
    10. Grove Co. – FREE Mrs. Meyer’s 64 Load Laundry Detergent, Mrs. Meyer’s Fabric Softener, 60 Day VIP Trial, and FREE shipping with a $20 minimum purchase for new customers ($32.66 value); FREE 1-year VIP Membership ($39.95 value) for existing customers
    11. Meal Garden – 6 months of Meal Garden FREE (value $35.70)

    Besides being so incredibly helpful and inspiring, one of the things I like best about the bundle is the price. By offering the bundle for a short time only, they’re able to give you access to over $2,400 worth of high-quality eBooks, eCourses and printables for a whopping 98% off!

    Here’s how it works:
    Visit their website, take a quick look at all the goodness that comes in this package, then click the green “Buy now!” button to go through their simple and secure 3-step checkout process.

    You’ll receive an email with a login to their online access portal, where you’ll begin downloading your eBooks, signing up for your eCourses, and redeeming your free bonus offers.

    Use their Getting Started Guide to pick the topic you want to tackle first and start making healthy changes!

    The most important detail, though, is that this bundle is available for just six days! After Monday night, September 26th, the sale ends and you’d have to buy all of these products individually.

    It’s even backed by a full money-back happiness guarantee, so you can make sure it’s right for you.

    No one should have to put off a healthier lifestyle because it costs too much or they can’t get the help they need.

    Our family has felt so much better by making changes to the way we eat, the products we use, and how we take care of ourselves. It’s made all the difference in the world and I want the same for you.

    Get what you need for your healthy lifestyle. Learn more or get your bundle HERE.

    (Psst… the bundle goes away at 11:59pm Eastern on Monday, September 26th, so don’t wait!)

    I’m an affiliate of Ultimate Bundles because I love these bundles as a customer, and want to share them with my readers! The opinions are mine based on my experience buying these bundles over the years.

    I love and collect everything Precious Moments. Our wedding theme 12 years ago had Precious Moments figurines, had save the date card, and my husband gave me an adorable 10 year anniversary figurine. I was thrilled when Precious Moments contacted me and asked that I review one of their adorable Mother’s Day figurines. I asked the kids which one they liked best and my daughter picked this one. It is so adorable and true-I mend her stuff animals.

  • Nothing like family time

    It’s been a long wonderful week. Last weekend I took our kids to visit family that I hadn’t seen in years. It was a trip I have been planning for a long time, and decided life is too short to put off the most important things in life, being with family.  It was a beautiful drive to Washington from Utah, it took longer than I had planned, but I am glad we got the time with everyone. While we were there we met for the first time a couple of our Great Aunts. One lives only a few hours away, and another who has written about her own Journey through life. About her family and  growing up in Italy, surviving the German occupation, meeting an American soldier that she married and coming to the States. This book is so fascinating, very detailed about births, deaths of family members and the war. We had so much fun visiting with everyone, and the kids loved meeting their cousins. We are already talking about visiting again.  Here are some photos we took on our trip.

  • Getting Tangles out

    My little 4 yr old daughter has a lot of dolls and Barbie’s. The one thing about Dolls is the hair is a real pain when it becomes tangled. What I do is soak the doll’s hair in water for half an hour and then spray down with Fructis oil. I then take a large brush and slowly work out the tangles. You will lose some doll hair, but not much.

    I worked on the hair in sections.

    and finally it was untangled and ready to be braided. It took 10 mins to brush out and braid it . My daughter will “wuv” it as she says…

  • New Branch to our Tree

    Sandias

    Sandia Mountains New Mexico

     

    I was blessed this past weekend to travel to the Land of Enchantment, New Mexico and celebrate my cousins wedding with her. She was my maid of honor nearly 9 years ago when I walked down the isle and being part of her wedding party was such an honor. She has grown into a lovely  woman and has found true love. The entire trip was so much fun, I never wanted for it to end. On Friday she took us Bridesmaids out for some pampering, and then that afternoon I spent some time with my Aunt before the wedding rehearsal. We didn’t have enough time to scan photos again, however, she did give me my Grandma’s Durbin Book and a tin of stuff my Grandma had collected little things from me over the years. On Saturday, we all celebrated her special moment and had so much fun.

    I still haven’t had a chance to sit down from returning this weekend to really look through the Durbin book, but did browse through tonight. It was amazing to find typed letters to my Aunt, and Great Grandfather in there dating back to the 1970s. There were emails from my Grandma to Edna( also known as Bubbles) about Henry Durbin. Grandma had all sorts of emails printed and filed away in several filing cabinets. She was always keeping every little piece of correspondence from family.  I am looking forward to getting some time to browse through this book soon and preserve it for others in the family.

  • Meeting Distant Relatives

    I have written about how I love Facebook. Not because of Farmville, or CafeWorld, but for all the re-connections, and discoveries I have found. My Grandparents had divorced before my mother was born, so the most I knew about Grandpa’s family was just names and dates. Other than pictures the people behind those photos were a mystery to me. Well as soon as I got up the courage to get on Facebook the first person I searched for was my Grandma’s sister in law. I knew that my mother had been in contact with her in the past. Why not see if she was also on Facebook. Well she was and we have had a very nice friendship. This summer during our Las Vegas Trip, my family was able to visit with her Daughter, Sandra. My family really enjoyed sharing our vacation in Las Vegas with her. 

    Recently she started a blog of her own, highlighting her business. Her blog is Hard Times Auctions, much better than Storage Wars. I wish her the best on her blog and hope others will check it out.
