Ultimate Bundles – Getting Started Guide

September 4, 2018 By Michelle

Ultimate Bundles are frequently available through blogs and social media.  I’ve found that they can be awesome resources, but also very overwhelming.  In the past I don’t think that I really got all that I could have from the 2 bundles previously purchased.   That’s why I want to take a few minutes to show you how you can navigate a new bundle, like the Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle, and find just what you are looking for.

Healthy Eating Reboot Challenge

Healthy Eating Reboot Challenge

By this time of year, healthy eating may have taken a back seat to summer vacation, back-to-school craziness, and for many of this, August is the second “New Years”.
And it’s a perfect time…
This is the perfect time of year to reboot your healthy eating, leaving late breakfasts and daily fro yo treats behind.
 If you need help getting back in the “healthy saddle” again, the folks at Ultimate Bundles have teamed up with Katie from WellnessMama.com to offer a FREE 7-day Healthy Eating Reboot Challenge.
Here’s how it works:
You register for the free challenge, which runs for 7 days (August 24-30).
Each day, you’ll get a motivational email, along with a mini-challenge.
Most days include a free printable to make completing the challenge even easier!
By the end of the challenge, you’ll have:

 

  • An organized, healthier pantry  (you might be surprised at some of the things Wellness Mama calls unhealthy)
  • Ideas to make everyday lunches a no-brainer (and super healthy, too!)
  • Tips to make healthy meal prep faster and easier than ever (as well as some secret weapons no mom should be without)
  • A stress-free meal plan so you can transition into your September schedule with ease
  • Plus, so much more!
You can complete each challenge in just 20 minutes or less each day, but I think you’ll be surprised by how much progress you’ll make over the week.

 

Join Ultimate Bundles and Wellness Mama for the challenge right here.
Hope you join us in this challenge!

El Salvador Trip, Days 1 & 2 Preparation

Compassion El Salvador 2018

 

As I told you all in May, a few of my daughters and I joined a Compassion Tour Trip in July.  Because of the way the flights worked out to reach our group and the connection in Miami, I was able to build in a couple of days on either side of the long weekend in El Salvador.  One of my older teens has had an extremely full summer with summer classes, an internship with a big project and working her “day job”.  We also had a change pre-trip and one of the daughters scheduled for this trip decided not to go, and another daughter jumped in at nearly the last minute.  All of that caused me to believe that a short break from regular life before we entered into what the trip held for us would be very good for us.

And it was so good.

Measurements Help ~ Mr Gallon

August 10, 2018 By Michelle

This was one of the most popular posts on my blog back when I was hosted on blogspot!  It used to crack me up that whenever I looked at the stats, there was Mr Gallon, right on top.

Have you ever met this guy?  We discovered him maybe 9 years ago when homeschooling and kids were deep in word problems that required learning to exchange cups for pints for quarts for gallons.

Since the kitchen remodel I’ve thought about consulting Mr Gallon a few times, so I decided to print a new Mr Gallon to slip onto one of the inside cabinet doors.  And since I’m doing that, I’m also refreshing this post to share good ol’ Mr Gallon with new and old readers.

Originally, I found Mr Gallon here.

 

Steamboat Springs, Colorado Travel

April 23, 2018 By Michelle

Stefano, Steamboat Springs

For several years, as I looked at the Colorado map and thought about where to go next, Steamboat Springs and Dinosaur National Park were high on my list.  But from home we have to drive somewhat diagonally across the state for many hours.  Well in early January when Builder and I were talking about Spring Break, and we decided to make plans to stay in Steamboat Springs and explore.

Steamboat Springs Hot Springs

Ever since our fantastic Florida Keys vacation a few summers ago, we have sought to stay in houses or townhome.  Through Retreatia we rented a great 2 bedroom 2 bathroom townhome.  The house had a washer and dryer which was a bonus after our day at the hot springs pool.

Fish Creek Falls always shows up when I search pinterest for Colorado Waterfall Hikes.  All of the trails were snow covered and I forgot my trekking poles, so we simply took the .5 mile overlook path to see the falls.

Steamboat Springs

We also spent hours at the Old Town Hot Springs, which was a blast. Just imagine how fun it is to spend an afternoon in a hot springs pool with teenagers, laughing as the snow falls in nice big flakes, then an hour later enjoying the sunshine while relaxing in one of the smaller pools.  It was fantastic!

A gem that we found was the Off the Beaten Path book store!  Two floors of books and a coffee shop.

Steamboat Springs

We spents a couple of happy hours here.  I enjoyed a Mr Darcy cinnamon mocha and this good book.

We also found some of the other hot springs, and enjoyed a visit to an art museum.

None of us are skiers, so I can’t tell you about that action in Steamboat, but explorers and hikers we are.  It is quite a drive to get to this area, but I sure look forward to another visit in the not to far off future!
