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!

(**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!)

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 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!

Hey everybody!

In looking around my office area and our “warehouse” shelves I’ve realized that it’s time to pare down. We’ve about maxed out the space we have available for business stuff, so the slow sellers are going to be discontinued so that we have space to bring you new stuff!

From now until they’re gone, these items are on sale:

all Teeccino products (including the sample packets, which are really cute in little gift baskets)

the Matisse and Jack mixes (very yummy, but selling slowly, so out they go!)

almost all of the teas (again, very good, but slow sellers)

and many varieties of the Larabars and Jocalat. (**updated to say that Jocalat bars are SOLD OUT now)

I hope that these sale prices end up being a big help to some of you!

Hi everybody!

As gas and food prices are climbing daily all over the world, many of us are wondering when it will stop, and how we will be able to keep up. One of the best resources I know of for lowering grocery costs is a wonderful program written by Crystal Paine. It’s called Supermarket Savings 101, and it will teach you how to significantly cut your grocery costs without spending tons of time!

Crystal is a wife and mother of two who has just about perfected the art of getting her groceries for pennies on the dollar. For a couple years now I’ve read her blogs and been amazed when she featured photos of big bunches of groceries that she got for free or close to it. Obviously, this is a skill that most of us could stand to learn, and Crystal has made it so easy.

Since I know how badly we can all use this kind of help, Crystal has agreed to not only let me tell you about this program, but she is selling it for only $8.97, which is 50% off the normal price! I have no doubt at all that even if you just apply a few of Crystal’s strategies that your $8.97 investment would be paid back to you many times over.

In addition to the awesome price, Crystal has sweetened the deal with six additional bonus items, including ebooks on menu planning, gardening, making homemade bread, and some recipe books!

I strongly encourage you to go check out the program information so you can understand how beneficial it will be to you. Feel free to forward this newsletter to your friends and family as well. I think this is a wonderful deal for something that can truly help everyone, particularly when times are so tough right now. I hope this is a blessing to you!

Are you feeling the financial crunch now that gas is almost $4 a gallon and grocery prices are going up?  I have something GREAT coming tomorrow…..be sure to check your inbox for your newsletter on Tuesday!

I’ve enjoyed using various non-toxic and all-natural cleaners in my home for many years. However, the one thing that always bothered me about some of them was that I bought them through multi-level marketing businesses that required me to sign up or pay a yearly membership fee in order to purchase their products. What a drag! Inevitably, I’d run out of my cleaner about a week after my yearly membership was done. Sure, the cleaner was only $12, but I had to pay over $30 to get “in” again. No thanks!

I’m so glad that I found out about BabyGanics. This company features wonderful cleaning products that are safe for people, pets, and the environment. It is non-toxic, organic, and all-natural.

BabyGanics products have

No fillers

No chemicals

No VOCs

No pollutants

and are Non-caustic.

I’ve been trying out the products in my home for several weeks now to see if they are any good, and I am happy to say that I can definitely recommend these to you.

There are four different cleaning products available:

All-Purpose Household Cleaner

Glass and Surface Cleaner

Tub and Tile Cleaner

Floor Cleaner Concentrate

All four products come in either unscented or lavender scent.

From now until Monday I’m running a Pre-Order Special on BabyGanics. Since I do not know which products you folks are going to be most interested in, I decided to offer these cleaners at a much lower price than I will normally be able to, in exchange for you placing your orders before they come in.

It’s easy:

Order as usual.

When the products come in (probably late next week) I will fill the orders ASAP, as always.

The only “catch” is that your entire order will have to wait here and be sent all at once when the BabyGanics arrive.

So if you want to get a good deal on BabyGanics, Click Here!

I just found out that Jim is going to make a better price on the gardening toolkit for One Day Only.  That will be tomorrow–to celebrate the first day of spring!  Come by tomorrow and I’ll have the info for you.  (He’s still putting it together right now)
