Shaklee

 Always safe. Always works. Always green. 

Over the holiday's a good friend of mine started talking about my interest in Nutrition and possibly taking a few classes to go along with my personal training certification. She then started talking about Shaklee. I had heard of Shaklee but had never tried any of the products until recently. Her parents have been selling Shaklee for the last 40+ years. Who are now my mentors. I went to my first meeting January 19th and was very impressed with the company. I decide to go to their next meeting and got to meet a lot of great Shaklee users and distributors plus Rich Higbee, Shaklee Vice President of Field Development flew in for this meeting to talk about the New Shaklee 180 program.

I really wanted to check this company out first before commuting to anything. I was then invited to go to a Shaklee Conference in Denver. Wow! Talk about inspiring not only about the company but in life in general. The Biggest thing I took away from the conference was getting rid of the "Brain Trash" in other words stop putting negative thoughts into your mind. Get rid of the self doubt, stop telling yourself you can't do something and just do it. Try your very best. I took some great notes and will talk more about the conference another time. 

I am excited about my new path in Shaklee!! If you have any questions or want to find out more please let me know!!

Here is a great short video about Why Supplement!

Gillian and her Pink Car!!!!! Feb. 28, 2011

Gillian has LOVED the color PINK pretty much her whole life. There was a time when she was obsessed with it!! In Anthem off Hwy 17 there is a Pink Car every day or every time we passed this car Gillian got so excited and would Say "Pink Car!!! Pink Car!!!" Knowing that we were getting ready to move and wouldn't get to see this awesome pink car anymore. I decided to take Gillian out for a mini photo shoot with her Pink Car! =)
 

Our Jack Scare!! April 28, 2012

A fun Saturday took a turn. We started the day getting ready to head up the mountains to scout out for some turkeys. Jack had started to have a major stomach ache. He had actually been complaining about it off and on all week. We thought that it might just be car sickness but it just got worse and worse. So we headed down the mountain and I took Jack to the Urgent Care. After his check up they sent us straight to the ER. They thought he was having an appendicitis. But thankfully after a couple hours he was sent home to rest. Thank goodness!! Wow! That was a close call. SO thankful he was OK and didn't need surgery!!!

Happy 8th Wedding Anniversary 04-04-04!!!

April 4th, 2012

 

These last 8 years have truly been the BEST 8 years of my life!!! Love you Ryan Always and Forever!

Its been a long time!

Well its been a very long time since I have blogged. I guess with Facebook, Twitter and instagram blogging just doesn't get the attention it used to get. But I still enjoy it and with a blog you get the full story vs. just a picture. I have at least 5 draft blogs that I have started but haven't finished. So My little goal is to catch up and post the old blogs and then start blogging all the fun new events.

Short and sweet today! Have a wonderful day! What's a blog post without a picture. Here is a cute one of the kids at the Neighborhood Ice Cream Social! =) 

 

Reading with my kids

I love in the evenings when we get all cozy in bed and read to each other.  A New Reader has joined our family!! Gillian decided she wanted to read to Jack and I. She picked Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? OK so it make have been a little memorized vs. actually reading but I pointed to the words will she read the story.She is so very proud of herself and I am extremely proud of her!!

Jack's new favorite book series is Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kenny

He stays up at least 30 minutes after bed time just read a few chapters! I love that he is so excited about readying!

I just finished reading The Pioneer Women Black Heels to Tractor Wheels A Love Story by Ree Drummond.

I loved this book! I didn't want it to end. She has a wonderful blog with delicious recipes and fun stories about her everyday life in the Ranch, photography and much more. Check it out here. 

Jack joined Cub Scouts!!!!

Jack started Cub Scouts this year! He is having such a blast and really learning some important life skills and lessons. His 1st Den Meeting was on September 29, 2011. What a fun group of boys we have in our Den/Pack. Most of the boys are in Jack's 2nd grade Class or at least in the 2nd Grade at CLPE.

His 1st Pack meeting we met at The LaPorte Presbyterian Church on September 1, 2011. The boys went outside to play several games while the parents talked about the up coming year and answer any questions we had Plus put our Dens together.

On our 1st Den Meeting we met at CLPE Playground and the boys worked on their first achievement. Which was balance, throwing and catching a ball, running and bouncing a ball..... The boys had a blast.

Wolf Scout Jack.

 Thanks for stopping by!!! Have a wonderful day!!
