Happy New Year and Word of the Year


I have been following the Money Saving Mom for a number of years. She has been an inspiration over the past decade or so to me. This past year she and her family fostered a newborn and had their own newborn. They have three older children, three teenagers! Anyhow she picks a word for the New Year, this year she chose two Show-Up. Show-Up is perfect for her, and if you read the post I linked you will understand why. I am once again inspired by her so I am thinking of a word or a phrase of the year that is suitable for my new year. 

The last year 2020 rocked the world, and my world. The CORONA virus, working from home, uncountable ZOOM meetings, job loss all weighed heavy on me. I am notorious for coming up with great ideas and getting all inspired and excited. I have so many projects started, all started with good intentions and life has gotten in the way, or I lost interest. I make plans and never follow through, hence my phrase for the year 2021 is going to be 'follow-through', or "finish it up'. Which do you think is more catchy? 

The big project I am working on this year is my master's degree. in 2015 I enrolled at Ashford University to finish my bachelor's in Health and Human Services. Upon graduating, I made the decision to enroll in a master's program in Public Health. A few classes in, I decided Public Health is not for me. I enjoy helping people and building community, but not on a systemic level. I changed to Human Services, helping people on a personal level is the perfect fit. I have 3.5 more classes to go. My projected graduation date is June 28, 2021.

Konsyl review and Giveaway

Image
We’ve all heard about the digestive and other health benefits of having enough fiber, but in addition to helping promote regularity and good digestive health  adequate soluble fiber intake offers an abundance of health benefits, ranging from a reduced risk of heart disease by lowering cholesterol, to reducing blood sugar absorption, thereby assisting in the management of Type-2 Diabetes. Fiber can also aid in weight loss by making you feel fuller longer. Psyllium fiber, such as the fiber found in Konsyl Fiber Supplements, is a bulk-forming soluble fiber derived from the outer coating, or "husk" of the psyllium plant's seeds. Because psyllium does not come from wheat it is therefore gluten free and safe for celiac patients. Konsyl products are also safe for pregnant and nursing women. Just one serving of Konsyl Original Formula 450g provides 6 grams of psyllium fiber (equal to 3 grams of soluble fiber), 75% more than the leading brands.

A Product Review and my first GIVEAWAY!!

Image
Today I received a full size bottle of Purex Complete with Zout Triple Enzyme Stain Remover. The scent is Fresh Morning Burst. I am a scent orientated person, so the first thing I did was to open the bottle and smelled it. It smells so fresh and clean, I could not wait to give it a try. Four loads of laundry later, I can say that I truly love this product!! As a busy mother of two busy boys, I often miss stains on clothes before they are put into the drier and set for life. Then another piece of clothing heads for the rag bag. I love that the pretreatment is included in the product, no extra step. It works for HE and front loading machines. AND now for the giveaway, I will have two winners for coupons for a free product. Please leave me a comment about why you want to try the product. The giveaway will end on March 31 at 8:00PM EST and I will announce the winners.
