Catching up is hard to do

Whoo-ee!  Do I ever have a lot to catch up on… I’m thinking it’s probably not going to happen.  At least not in full posts of their own.  So here’s a preview of what’s to come. 

I made this the other day and it was to. die. for!!  You’ve gotta try it!  (Recipe to come)

And I made this, like forever ago and never blogged it… Best cinnamon roll EVER!!  (Again, recipe to come)

And this is something you probably don’t want to eat.  And truth be told I probably shouldn’t be putting this picture up with pictures of food because, EW!  It’s pretty disgusting.  This is Anthony’s toe after his last marathon. 

Weirdest blister I’ve ever laid eyes on. 

And I have a post I want to do on essential oils… who loves essential oils?  ME!!!  I do, I do!! 

Never tried them?  I highly recommend it.  And I can help you out if you have questions.  Just ask. 

I think I’m going to start a new blog where I post all of the recipes I try with my new Thrive foods.  So far it’s been extremely tasty!   

I’ll be back tonight… promise!

Gettin’ Down to BIZ-NESS!

I know I’ve got like a gazillion other things to catch up on but I’m so stinkin’ excited about my new adventures that I just can’t wait to tell you about them any longer!!

So, here’s the deal…

We all know that Anthony and I have struggled financially for years now.  Or maybe you didn’t already know that but now you do.  :)  You see, once upon a time, when we had our own business, things were going GREAT!  And then the economy took a nose dive…

and took the business with it. 

Stupid Economy!!

And ever since then it’s been a battle.

Ahem… anyway, back at the ranch… a couple years ago I signed up as a DoTERRA consultant.  (You can find my website here!)  Ever heard of DoTERRA and their amazing line of essential oils? 

I admit I was a HUGE skeptic at first but they have proven themselves to me over and over again for the past couple of years and now I am 1000% a believer!  If you’re not already using these oils to better the health of your family you ought to give it a try.  My family ADORES them!  Even little B asks for them when he’s got an ailment of some sort. 

My girls ask for the oils almost on a daily basis.  C agrees that they just make things better and Anthony can’t get enough of them.  His favorites?  Frankincense, Lemongrass, and Deep Blue (great for sore muscles)! 

Some other favorites of the family include OnGuard, Lavender (we go through it quicker than any of the others), Lemon, and Breathe!  But there are so many more that we haven’t even tried and others that we love but don’t use as often.

Ok, kind of a tangent there.  Where I was going with this was to let you know that while I started as a consultant just to get the oils for my family, I am now going to do it as a business!!

EXCITEMENT!!!  You’re excited too, right? 

Well, save the applause until you hear the next part……

I’m also going to be a Shelf Reliance Consultant!!  WOOHOO! 

**Now you can clap** 

My cousin started doing SR about a year ago and I’ve tried some of the crazy concoctions (surprisingly not crazy at all but delicious!!) and I’m sold!!  This is food storage like you’ve never seen before!  Or maybe you’ve seen it already, then I would be wrong to say that ‘you’ve never seen before.’  Anyway, if you have ever tasted this food you know that it is absolutely DIVINE!  I never knew food storage could be so FUN and DELICIOUS!!  Did you?  Oh and I forgot to mention HEALTHY!!

Here’s my website… to get the best pricing you’ll have to get in contact with me.  If you order straight from the website you won’t get party pricing.

So, as you can probably tell, I’m trying really hard to supplement our income so that we can actually LIVE!!  And do you know what else?  I could really use some support. 

This is completely out of my comfort zone and I’m maybe just a tad bit nervous… but TOTALLY excited! 

If you live in Utah County, Salt Lake County, Davis County or surrounding areas I would absolutely LOVE to do a party for you.  We could totally customize it to what you want for your group and it would be a blast!!  Whether I already know you or not (because I love making new friends!), I’d love to have you contact me to set something up for either DoTERRA or Shelf Reliance.  Please click on my contact info (at the top) and email me.  LET’S DO THIS!! 

You’d be doing me a great favor and I promise I’d be doing you one, too!  These products are truly phenomenal and I wouldn’t be doing this if I didn’t believe in them.  **Plus there might be a little ‘incentive’ for booking a party ;)**

Just a mom of (almost) 6 kids trying to make things work!  (Not a sob story, just the truth)

And if you have any questions about anything, products etc., please feel free to contact via a comment left here on my blog or by email.

Now I want to know if anyone has had any experience with these products.  If so, what did you think of them? 

I’m Alive!

Did you miss me?  Did you notice that my blog was GONE for a few days? 

NICE! 

It’s a lovely thing… my domain name expired and I had to wait for Anthony’s paycheck to buy it back.  Sheesh!  But no worries, we’re good for another year.

Lots of updates to give.  Things like “Beepio” and ‘bad guys’ and dance recitals and solar eclipse, and the time that the bug guy (pest control) came to spray and I totally forgot they were coming so I was in the shower (yeah, that was lovely) and oh so much more!  But not now.  It’s after midnight. 

Seriously I’ve been a major blog slacker and I’m kicking myself for it. 

OH!  And my new adventures…. gotta blog that, too.  So exciting!  And scary…  But I can do it, I know it! 

Anyway, just wanted to give y’all an update.  My posterity is going to go through my archives one day and see a big black hole in the timing of my writings.  They’ll be devastated. 

Can I even say… y’all?  I’m not southern.  But I did live in South Carolina for almost 2 years.  I think that totally counts.

Be back tomorrow!
