The Super Easy Way to Blanch Corn!
I love it when fresh corn starts coming in from the fields. I always get LOTS extra to put in the freezer for later but the problem with that is that you have to blanch corn before putting it away. It is typically a long and tedious process and makes a huge mess in my [...]
Best Eggs you will ever eat and you won’t believe the secret ingredient
We recently had a day of cooking. Lots and lots of cooking. We didn’t cook for 2 weeks because it was simply too hot (our air went out) and we were all really hungry…and I had a lot of catching up to do. I had ideas running out of my ears from not being in [...]

I have hit that place.
You know that place where everything seems like it is standing still.
Not moving forward, but not falling back either.
Standing Still.
So, I have made myself a challenge, it is time to step it up a notch.
How will you challenge yourself?
Seriously! This is it!
Get out of that chair and get moving. If your goal is to get your house in order go clean out a drawer and organize it. If your goal is to loose weight go walk around, do an exercise video or look on the internet for chair exercises. Trying to quit smoking? Grab a glass of water instead. Grab an acoustic guitar and learn to play. Learn something new today. Just DO something that will help you achieve your goal.
I have achieved several of mine. I have gone down 2 pants sizes, I have gotten my house clean and am working on the organization part of it, I am spending more time with my family in more of a quality way and I am working on several other projects that will improve some aspect of my life.
What are you doing?
Remember the choices that you make today will affect the outcome of tomorrow.
If you ever want to change someone’s outlook on a day…offer them a word of kindness and encouragement. I have seen it work thousands of times. No matter what problems you face or burdens you bear, when someone takes a moment to uplift you and make you smile…you carry it through the day. Which is exactly what the purpose of Kind Notes is. Just a cute little envelope filled with words of love, encouragement, friendship or whatever you choose to fill them with.
Kind Notes is so simple to use. Just visit their website where you can chose a Ready Made set, a completed set or you can customize your very own. Kind notes makes an excellent gift for anyone and for any occasion, especially with Father’s Day and Graduations here upon us. Or send them just because your best friend is going through a rough patch, or you just want a loved one to know you care, the choices are endless. You can also customize your notes. You can choose the filling, the ribbon, the envelope design and the message options where you can choose from a library of more than 400 messages, request blank paper for you to write out yourself or you can have them fill in your own personalized messages on each individual card.
I love my jar of Kind Notes, it is always a surprise at what little saying I will get for the day, and as most of you know…I LOVE quotes, and sayings, and words!
The My Gentleman would be perfect for the Father in your life this Father’s Day. Have a friend that needs uplifting, choose the My Inspiration. Have a special someone graduating this year (I know I have several) choose the Lighten Up…or remember, you can always customize it to fit whatever your need. They can be put in lunch boxes for your husband, wife, child. They can be given in any creative way that you can think of.
