I can’t inform you how a lot I actually loved your suggestions on yesterday’s emotional whiplash publish. It’s given me so much to ponder. One factor that I at all times get pleasure from and really feel fulfilled by although? Running a blog. It offers me an area to put in writing my ideas, join, and share. It doesn’t really feel intrusive; it appears like a pal 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 Positive posts that individuals typically write round their birthdays? I at all times 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 occupied with 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 these days is making a batch of soup on Sunday, freezing it in 2 cup Souper Cubes, then placing a single dice in my mini gradual cooker within the morning on excessive, and having scorching, home made 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 an alternative? No massive deal- I simply maintain the freezer stocked of home made, 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 like individuals. I actually do. I love what makes every individual distinctive and clearly see their particular person strengths. The ladies and I’ve been studying by way of How you can Win Mates and Affect Individuals (teen woman 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 woman apart and have began vocalizing my admirations. I’ve at all times been good about stating the ladies’ strengths to them, however I’ve been extra open about telling David how good I believe he’s (I actually admire him a lot; I believe he’s probably the most good and proficient man within the world- shouldn’t all of us really feel that means about our important others?), and stating to mates how a lot I respect 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 expertise). I be taught a lot from others and respect once they share their presents.
Important Amino Acids
Two of my most well being and health minded mates have been consuming 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 keeping with consuming it throughout every power coaching session and now two months in, it’s completely working for me. My muscle tissue aren’t as sore, they’re recovering rather more rapidly. And, that is the half I 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 completely different homeschool yr 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 number 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 like this cozy really feel we’ve obtained occurring proper now.

Twice a Week Grocery Purchasing & a Stocked Pantry
I haven’t shared a number of grocery hauls or full weekly meal plans as a result of I actually hadn’t discovered my groove in our new residence. It’s solely now I’m beginning to see what’s working for me and it appears to be like a little bit one thing like this: twice per week grocery purchasing, as soon as at Entire Meals and as soon as at Ingles or Swamp Rabbit Grocery, and protecting a stocked pantry and freezer.
Dwelling a little bit additional out, it’s actually working to maintain an adequately stocked pantry. I load up on unperishable objects once they’re on sale (condiments, vinegars, rice, pasta, tuna, and so forth) and have gotten in a great rhythm of at all times having a again up able to go. I get as a lot produce as I can on my Entire Meals journey, then complement with Ingles or Swamp Rabbit.
I nonetheless have a strong portion of the half cow we break 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 pal, is canning meats. She walked me by way of 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 hen (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 Assessment Movies
I’ve solely not too long ago realized up to now couple months that I could make Amazon Assessment Movies with my standing of being an Amazon Influencer. I’ve by no means been an Amazon Influencer celebrity as a result of I’m solely going to share objects I purchase, use, and may vouch for, which has me sharing the identical objects over and over. I’ve been high quality with that and at all times respect once you store by way of my hyperlinks and use my reward 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.
Effectively, I simply realized that Amazon offers me suggestions for merchandise I’ve purchased that want critiques. As an Amazon client myself that closely makes use of critiques and the movies when making a purchase order choice, it thrills me that I could make evaluate movies and assist others with out having to hyperlink it on my weblog to my readers (mates). All my evaluate 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 likewise useful to me, as a result of in the event 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 at all times glad 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 stability writing these chatting sort posts (my favourite!) with recipe and parenting content material that’s extra polished and higher for serps. When 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 like that a lot. And in the event you really feel up for sharing, what’s one issues that’s working for you proper now?
