Oh Black Friday!

Until last year, I had NEVER done the Black Friday shopping.  However, I am loving that many stores allow you to take part in Black Friday from the comfort of your own home.  

I am really excited about THRIVE Life's Black Friday this year!  It is their BIGGEST SALE of the year!  EVERY SINGLE THRIVE food is on sale!  There are also some great sales on their rotation shelves and also emergency supplies.  This sale would be a great way to enter into the new year with some of that food storage you keep saying you want to get, or would be a great opportunity to get some great deals on Christmas gifts.  I already have a few Pre-Orders for Christmas shopping from some of my customers!  So CLEVER!

It begins at 12:00 am on November 29 and concludes on December 2 at 5:00 pm.  

For your ease, below you will find the flyers.  These are only some   of the sales.  You can access the page with ALL the sales HERE.  Just select the category that you would like, and then the drop-box will show all the products in that category, the retail price and the Black Friday price.  You will be able to do your own shopping for Black Friday on the website and still get the best prices.  But if you would rather me put in your orders, I would be more than happy to!  




 I look forward to hearing from you and helping you build your Home Store and food storage/emergency essentials for less!

THANKSGIVING

Oh the beauty of a Thanksgiving Dinner.  For those of you who are making your own meal, or if you have to take dishes, I have compiled some of the deals for you.  Remember, that places like Smiths and Walmart will price match too, so you can do that on some things so you don't have to run around like crazy!  This is not a comprehensive list, just some of the more common needed items for the day.  I also have not double listed items.  For example, yams are on there once at the very best price you can get them.  If you have something that you want me to help you find the "best" price on, message me and I will do my best to help you find it.

A Time of Thanksgiving

I have 2 toddlers... Well, I guess I should rather say 2 kiddos at or under the age of 3.  They are full of life and anxious to learn.  With Thanksgiving right around the corner we have been doing a push to remember all the things we are grateful for (and focus on those things).  We also make sure at the end of the day to add in things in our bedtime prayers.  That way prayers aren't becoming monotonous and the kiddos can come up with things pretty easily (because we have just worked on their turkeys).

I can't take credit for much of the idea, but I wanted to share it with you.  There is still plenty of time to get enough "hands" on there and make it a very grateful turkey.

I got the idea from Enchanted Learning.  It has some really great ideas and why reinvent the wheel?  I found the little face just by searching turkey clipart and found it on ABC teach.  From there, I just searched for pictures of things my kiddos would be grateful for.  They can't read, and so it would do them no good if I simply wrote down words.  I found pictures of things we do, see and enjoy.  I then traced their hands on orange, red, and yellow paper (if you fold it into fourths and trace once, after you cut you will get 4 hands!  saves some time).  Each night before our bedtime routine, we take their turkeys off the wall, talk about things that happened throughout the day, and then I give them a couple of pictures to select a "thankful" from.  I glue it on the turkey and then we talk about all the thankfuls.  My kids are loving it and there have been a few nights they remind me to do the turkey.

Hope that you are able to find a way to help your kids to see all their blessings and to find ways to count them!

A Hard Time

Sometimes it seems as though life is in a rut.  That things keep piling up and are just too overwhelming to overcome. With all the movement of life we expect picture perfect moments.  Ones that we see on blogs, Facebook, instagram, (insert whatever social network or means by which you feel not good enough or that you are not living up to what you "should" be, or that your life is not as "good" as theirs).  We are each on this Earth to have opportunities to become the best self we can be.  Not anyone else's self, our own.  I recently saw a quote that said, "it takes courage to grow up and become who you really are".  I love it.  We each are given our own pains, trials, and things to overcome in life.  Not one of us will experience the same things because not one of us is the same.  We are NOT alone though!  We have a loving Heavenly Father that is eager to hear what we have to tell him.  During this time of year we are more aware of our blessings (which is wonderful) but it is alright to occasionally say, "Hope ya know, I had a hard time".  He wants to give you comfort and help you through your "hard time".  He may not take it away, but he is there and will help you through WHATEVER you are experiencing.  I know this to be true.  I have felt his love for me, even in those moments when I just KNEW I didn't deserve it.  His love for me is unconditional and my knowledge of it only grows as I let him in.  You are not alone.  Let him in as this season continues.  Be grateful for your many blessings but find comfort in your heartaches, pains and trials.

Self Reliance


Elder Hales said it better than I ever could.  If we live this principal of being more self reliant, we will see blessings in our lives beyond what we can expect.  I hope that through this blog, others can find ways to be more self reliant and provide for ourselves and our families.

November Specials

October came and went and now brings us to the wonderful month of November.  I love coming into the holiday season and especially love the opportunity to really focus on family and the blessings I am given and enjoy each day. 
It is also a time to begin thinking about items to give for Christmas and goals for next year.  I have had a few people buy THRIVE foods to give away as gifts.  I have also had a few people want to find out more about our "Q" that ships an order of THRIVE each month to your home to help build your home store and food storage (great and common goals for the New Year).
I wanted to share the specials for the month.  There are some great items.  I will be getting my blueberries, eggs and potato beads later this week.  * I wanted to mention that the instant milk that THRIVE has is not the same as powdered milk.  It tastes not so much like powdered milk (THRIVE carries powdered milk too; if you would like to try it and life close text/email/call me and you can come try some) and is just like regular milk.   

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.  To get the Q-club price, you must order directly through me :)  But if there are other items you would like to purchase feel free to go to my website and write down a shopping list and I will get it ordered for you at the best price possible. 

Hope you are enjoying this wonderful season as well and I look forward to hearing from you!
