I can’t let you know how a lot I actually loved your suggestions on yesterday’s emotional whiplash submit. It’s given me so much to ponder. One factor that I all the time get pleasure from and really feel fulfilled by although? Running a blog. It offers me an area to write down my ideas, join, and share. It doesn’t really feel intrusive; it seems like a buddy that’s merely right here if you wish to chat. Running a blog simply works for me.
Which had me pondering. Have you ever learn any of these What I Know for Certain posts that individuals typically write round their birthdays? I all the time get pleasure from studying these. I’m not feeling fairly introspective sufficient to crank that out proper now however I did spend a few of my not-scrolling, psychological free time yesterday fascinated about what’s working for me proper now. By the top of the day I had a brief checklist of issues I can confidently say really feel good and proper and work for me proper now. Right here they’re:
Frozen Soup
A small factor I’ve been doing for myself recently is making a batch of soup on Sunday, freezing it in 2 cup Souper Cubes, then placing a single dice in my mini sluggish cooker within the morning on excessive, and having sizzling, do-it-yourself soup prepared for me when my abdomen begins to grouse noon. One thing about simply having it prepared and ready is so good. And if resolve to have a sandwich or leftovers as a substitute? No huge deal- I simply hold the freezer stocked of do-it-yourself, completely portioned soup (I pop the cubes out and retailer them in labeled freezer Ziplocks; every bag holds 4 2 cup cubes).

Telling Individuals What I Love About Them
I really like folks. I actually do. I like what makes every particular person distinctive and clearly see their particular person strengths. The women and I’ve been studying by Find out how to Win Mates and Affect Individuals (teen lady model) and one of many factors discusses honest compliments.
I’ve taken it to coronary heart and pushed my fear of sounding like a fan lady apart and have began vocalizing my admirations. I’ve all the time been good about stating the women’ strengths to them, however I’ve been extra open about telling David how sensible I believe he’s (I actually admire him a lot; I believe he’s probably the most sensible and proficient man within the world- shouldn’t all of us really feel that method about our important others?), and stating to pals how a lot I recognize their distinctive skills (her capability to make a home really feel like a house, her information and helpfulness on pure medicines, her spectacular time administration and organizational abilities). I study a lot from others and recognize after they share their presents.
Important Amino Acids
Two of my most well being and health minded pals had been ingesting this Kion Important Amino Acid Powder and each extremely really helpful it so I gave it a attempt. My preliminary impression was it tastes high quality however leaves a humorous aftertaste. Nonetheless, I stayed in line with ingesting it throughout every power coaching session and now two months in, it’s completely working for me. My muscular tissues aren’t as sore, they’re recovering way more shortly. And, that is the half I really like most, it has undoubtedly helped me construct muscle/outline muscle. The distinction is seen so we’ve now added it to autoship.
Snuggly Homeschool
It is a totally different homeschool 12 months for us, because the co-op we attend has homework for the children to finish through the week. It’s shifted the dynamic of our homeschool and the jury continues to be out on whether or not I’m offered on it or not, however there are a variety of issues I’m liking. One factor is that in some topics I’ve shifted from ringleader to assistant. They’ve their assignments and I’m simply there to assist as wanted. This has lent itself to us all spending the morning hours hanging out collectively within the homeschool room- candle lamp on, fuzzy blankets in tow, chillaxing on the ground and sac. I really like this cozy really feel we’ve obtained happening proper now.

Twice a Week Grocery Purchasing & a Stocked Pantry
I haven’t shared a variety of grocery hauls or full weekly meal plans as a result of I actually hadn’t discovered my groove in our new house. It’s solely now I’m beginning to see what’s working for me and it appears to be like a bit of one thing like this: twice per week grocery procuring, as soon as at Complete Meals and as soon as at Ingles or Swamp Rabbit Grocery, and maintaining a stocked pantry and freezer.
Dwelling a bit of additional out, it’s actually working to maintain a well provisioned pantry. I load up on unperishable objects after they’re on sale (condiments, vinegars, rice, pasta, tuna, and many others) and have gotten in rhythm of all the time having a again up able to go. I get as a lot produce as I can on my Complete Meals journey, then complement with Ingles or Swamp Rabbit.
I nonetheless have a strong portion of the half cow we cut up with a neighbor within the freezer and use Butcher Field and AMPM Farms to fill within the gaps. My subsequent journey, impressed by my buddy, is canning meats. She walked me by the quite simple sounding course of utilizing this digital canner and I can’t wait to present it a attempt! As a fan of canned rooster (I typically open a can so as to add to leftover rice and veggies for a fast lunch), I’m very enthusiastic about this prospect. I’ll report again with my experimentation!
Amazon Overview Movies
I’ve solely not too long ago realized up to now couple months that I could make Amazon Overview Movies with my standing of being an Amazon Influencer. I’ve by no means been an Amazon Influencer famous person as a result of I’m solely going to share objects I purchase, use, and might vouch for, which has me sharing the identical objects again and again. I’ve been high quality with that and all the time recognize while you store by my hyperlinks and use my present guides and such, because it helps pay the internet hosting prices and different weblog bills, however lengthy story quick, I’ve by no means actually centered a lot on it.
Nicely, I simply realized that Amazon offers me suggestions for merchandise I’ve purchased that want critiques. As an Amazon shopper myself that closely makes use of critiques and the movies when making a purchase order choice, it thrills me that I could make evaluation movies and assist others with out having to hyperlink it on my weblog to my readers (pals). All my evaluation movies present up on my storefront however even cooler, Amazon can pull these movies and put them on the product web page. Useful for a possible purchaser and in addition useful to me, as a result of in case you watch my video and find yourself buying, I get a small fee from that.
This can be tremendous area of interest and nothing you care about, however I’m additionally all the time completely satisfied to supply some transparency on how cash is made on the web. 80% of my earnings comes from show adverts, so pageviews. That’s why I steadiness writing these chatting sort posts (my favourite!) with recipe and parenting content material that’s extra polished and higher for search engines like google and yahoo. In case you ever have any questions on it, simply ask; I’m an open e book!
I’m beginning ramble now, so that is me signing off, however thanks for the dialog within the feedback yesterday. I really like that a lot. And in case you really feel up for sharing, what’s one issues that’s working for you proper now?
