Hey everybody!

Good news!  I have moved the Supermom blog here.

Why?

Well, this blog is set up on Word Press, which I have found difficult to use and very limiting.  I have moved the blog over to a Blogger platform, which I am much more comfortable with, and is a lot less annoying.  :)  (keepin’ it simple!)

Basically, my belief is that by making this change I am going to have an easier time blogging more often, and making the blog look as nice as I want it to.

So come on over and join us!  OK?

I just found out about an amazing deal that is available for TODAY ONLY. Crystal Paine is offering a gigantic End-of-Summer Blowout Sale that includes over $100 worth of resources for only $5.97!!

Time’s up!  The winner of this giveaway is Erica, who left the very last comment. :)  Thanks for joining us for Bloggy Giveaways.  There will be another one in the fall.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year…Bloggy Giveaways!

If you’re not familiar, just clickety-click on the Bloggy Giveaways button and you can start from there, hopping from blog to blog, meeting new people, and signing up to win cool freebies. What’s not to love about that?

A warm welcome to all of you that are visiting me from the giveaway carnival! I hope you will check out some of my recent posts and get to know me a little more. In a nutshell, I am a mom to six kids, wife to one hunky firefighter, I own three online businesses, and I home educate five of my kids as well. I love my health and wellness business, which features my unique approach to healthy living, which is basically–just do what you can, when you can, and don’t’ stress out about the rest. I have lots of great products that make eating and living healthier easy, without costing a fortune, too!

The most popular products I sell are helping moms have more energy than ever! I am so excited about these products and wanted to mention them here, since I know all of us could use more energy. You can read about these products here. My favorite thing about these products, other than how well they work, is that they are extremely affordable–this isn’t one of those $75-a-month “miracle” supplements. The stuff I sell is for regular people with regular budgets. ‘Nuff said.

I also have two ebooks that I’ve written on the subject of healthier eating. You can check those out here. I also offer an online class where I coach you through taking little steps toward healthier eating.

This week I am giving away a fun sampler pack to one lucky winner. The pack will include:

2 bars of awesome handmade soap–you can even choose the types you want

a sample of Teeccino herbal coffee

a sample of Yerba Mate tea

samples of Sweet Leaf Stevia Plus

To enter the contest, simply leave a comment and tell me something about the challenges you face related to healthy living. Maybe it’s an actual health problem you are needing help with. Maybe it’s something making it difficult for you to eat healthier. Whatever it is–tell me about it!

US residents only. Sorry!
I have a bunch of other great giveaways going on this week. Check them out here:

The Baby Boutique Blog–we’re giving away aromatherapy sleep pillows to help your little ones conk out easier at night! AND “The No-Cry Parenting Guide” is available FREE to everybody!

Supermom’s No-Lice Advice–I’ll send one lucky winner their very own bottle of my No-Lice Hair and Body Spray, to help keep the cooties away!

AND, please don’t miss the excellent giveaway that my friend Kim is doing. She has the coolest, craftiest stuff over there, unlike anything you’ve ever seen. It is simply a MUST VISIT spot. Clickety-click! Be sure to visit her Etsy store as well. You’ll love it!

(**Red Alert! If you go to the top of the main page of my blog starting early Wednesday morning, you can read about an amazing sale on a collection of resources that you will love. It’s over $100 worth of stuff for just $5.97. Wowza!)

This photo of my goofy 8, 10, and 5 year olds was taken earlier this summer. Enjoy!

Omega fatty acids are extremely important to our health, but most of us aren’t getting anywhere near enough of them in our everyday diets.I’ve known about Omega fatty acids for a long time and have taken them in the past, but usually found that the capsules smelled very fishy, and had the unfortunately side effect of producing fishy burps hours after taking them. Yukk!

So I was so thrilled to find Omega Balance 3-6-9 because it’s got all the good stuff we need, and none of the bad stuff that makes us not want to take it!

Omega Balance contains a blend of borage, organic flax seeds, and fish oils. This unique combination provides an excellent source for these extremely important fatty acids!

You can read more about it here.  Good stuff! (and with 180 capsules per bottle, it lasts a good, long time!  I like that.  Don’t you?)

A lot of moms are needing a fresh burst of inspiration these days, and I’ve got just the thing! Check out this page with great ideas for:

summer activities for kids

family-friendly summer recipes

summer exercise ideas for moms

and more!

It’s all here, and it’s all free. Enjoy!

I know that not everybody visiting me here is a homeschool parent, but a large number of you are.  So every now and then I have some homeschool-related goodie to pass along to you.

First of all, I have the brand new edition of The Old Schoolhouse magazine here and can add one in with your next order FREE!  Just leave me a note in the comments section of your order and I’ll take care of it. 

Secondly, I just found out about a wonderful set of resources from Cindy Rushton that is designed to help homeschool moms get organized and be prepared for the upcoming school year.  The set includes:
Full Ebook library
Mp3 Downloads for all audios (over $700 in workshops!)
Organization 911 Seminar Set
Let’s Get Organized Seminar Set
Free Gifts
Printable Planning Pages

You can check it out here.

There are always things to get for the kids at this time of year, but it’s important to remember that moms need refreshment and resources to help them do their job, too!  Please be sure to take good care of yourselves, ladies.  Burn out is no fun.

Hugs to you ladies!

I just wanted to let you know that Sweet Leaf Stevia has discontinued the Milk Chocolate flavor.  I have no more in stock, so have removed it from the site.

The GOOD news is that NEW FLAVORS will be coming up!  They haven’t told me yet what they are, but I can think of many that I would love to see.  (strawberry would be a great one, I think)  I don’t know how long it will be before the new flavors are ready to sell, so we’ll all have to be in suspense together. 

I just love the hand made soaps and shampoo bars that I sell, but right now I have too many varieties in stock, so it’s time for a big sale.  This includes every variety of soap, shampoo bars, and even the dog shampoo bars!  Get ‘em while they last!  (most of our soaps are wrapped in cute fabric, so they make adorable gifts for hostesses, birthdays, and so on.  I love to have these on hand so I can always put together a quick little gift in a pinch!)

I have an opportunity to get an unusually low price on a few flavors of the liquid stevia, so I wanted to pass the savings on to you.  Here’s the deal:

Order any amount of these flavors at just $9.99 from now until Monday morning.  They aren’t in stock yet–I’ll wait to order them once I see what kind of response I get.  I will order them once I know what you all would like, and will probably have them in stock and shipping out to you by the weekend of July 19 or thereabouts.

Feel free to add other products to you order.  It will all ship together once the sale stevia gets here.

Flavors to choose from at the $9.99 price:

Apricot

Cinnamon

Chocolate Raspberry

Grape

Lemon Drop

Root Beer 

Don’t forget that we also have some items on clearance at very low prices.  Once these are gone, we probably won’t be offering them here any more. Clearance items include almost all of our teas, Stevia Plus packets, Matisse and Jack treat mixes, Larabars, and  Teeccino.

Have fun!  And feel free to spread the word.  :)  I love it when I get to offer you a real bargain!
