A little bit of life

 Hey, hey, hey there!

So I've got this crazy goal to be making $6k a month by the end of the year. Seeing as I'm in the last quarter of the year, I'm thinking this may or may not happen. That's 6x what I'm currently making. Well, before corona hit us. 

Here's what I'm doing! I'm pushing on all of my social medias(tiktok, instagram, blogger, youtube) to gain followers; trying to remember to promote my Mary Kay stuff, however, I'm not a salesperson, so I just kind of let friends and family come to me when they need something; being a brand ambassador for a few different brands; debating on making something to sell on etsy like tie-dyed everything; application in for audible to be a narrator; finishing applications for Amazon flex, doordash, etc.; selling photos for stock photos.

If you have any ideas to add on here, please do!

Anywho, updates on life right now. School is back in session.We have some sprouts coming in from the fall starts! We sowed cucumbers, roma tomatos, grape tomatoes, mini bell peppers, regular green bells, chamomile, marjoram, chives, carrots, lavendar, and I'm sure I've forgotten some. We started some Scuppernong Muscadine wine from our grape harvest. The Persimmon tree is blessing us with fruit for some awesome jams coming up. Datil peppers are going to be made into something, but I haven't quiet figured out what I want to make yet. Maybe hot sauce? Our laying hens slowed laying because they had some raccoon issues. Makes me want to cry! We thankfully only lost one hen.  

Comment below and let me know what you're up to with side gigs, or just around the home. Of course, any recipes you have, SHARE PLEASE!! I can always use more in my repertoire!

Enjoy some photos the littlest ones and I capture today, and have an amazing day!

10 years later...

Looking back over the last 10 years, so many things have changed from where they began. I've changed, my life has changed, my family dynamics have changed. I know that it's been for the better, and as for life, well, that's just the way it goes. I was a baby it seems now. It's a very somber thing to just breathe in, and realize that every choice has lead you down a different path. Some things you envisioned, and others, you could never imagine them happening. For the better or for the worse.


Today, I am a proud mother of five beautiful children. I have my eyes set on school... AGAIN. I've decided that this phoenix of a woman that I am, will rise up again to build myself into a new version. I have made mistakes, I have made amazing choices, overall, I am me. I am woman. I am strong. I am beautiful just as I am. 

Stay tuned, as this new chapter is just starting. 
xoxo

Favorite Apps

November 6 2013

(yes I'm aware I'm a day late, shh)

Ok for all you tech savvy people, my top 5 favorite apps are probably not that awesome to you, but they are for me. Thank you technology for saving my butt more than a couple of times!

1. Pinterest- I am an addict of sorts, let me tell you! I have over 4k pins. It's a bit excessive. Ha! They keep me up to date on diy projects, recipes, paleo things, workouts, kids stuff, home decor... I could go on and on!



2. Geocaching- Keeps you active, and who doesn't love a treasure hunt or hide n seek?? Highly recommend to everyone!



3. Spotify Premium- No commercials during your favorite playlists. Also, make your own playlists, or listen to others, and make them available offline! So worth it for music lovers everywhere!



4. Retailmenot- Keeps awesome coupons for so many places. Who doesn't love to save money??



5. USAA- Deposit money from home, keep your account up to date. Fantastic idea to start banking online!!



Ok there's my top 5 apps, what are yours???

(currently) Favorite Recipe!

November 5- Share your favorite recipe

Right now, my favorite recipe is from stupideasypaleo.com

This recipe is for a paleo version of chocolate mousse. Heck yes! Who doesn't love chocolate? Also, what's better than a chocolate recipe that fits your eating habits? Anyhow, if you haven't read my blog before, I love crafting and cooking. Lots and lots of cooking. Now on for the recipe! Are you ready? Ok, let's begin!

Of course, if you look at her photo, it looks way better, but it tastes like chocolate pudding to me, and it's fantastic! Hope you all enjoy it as much as me!!




Ingredients:

1 ripe avocado

2-3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

~1/4 c. coconut milk

3-4 dates (I like medjool) (note: dates are notoriously hard to process down…you may also add honey or agave instead if your food pro is a little on the anemic side)

1 vanilla bean*

Directions:

1. Scoop out avocado and combine it with the cocoa powder, coconut milk and dates in a food pro.

2. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise, scrape out the seeds, and add to the food pro.

3. Blend!

4. For best results, refrigerate until chilled.

Makes 2 small servings or 1 large if you’re very hungry.

*You could add 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract instead






Have a great day everyone! Enjoy!

Let freedom Ring!

a happy girl: Freedom: Today we are starting out this new week of the Blogember challenge by writing for 5 minutes on the prompt Freedom.

I'm in love with her prompt and challenge! If you didn't realize, this is what I've been blogging from, and I'm very much enjoying it. It's def helping me get back into the groove of things, and honestly a little less thinking for me to ease into it. I encourage you to check out this interesting blog!

On to the prompt: Freedom
5 minutes, go!


Freedom has many definitions one technical def, thank you google.com is the power or right to act, speak,
or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. The ring to that is extraordinary. Here in America we take our freedom for granted. No I am not just saying that because DH is military, I say this because looking into other countries, they are much more restrained. I feel the people are hushed up a lot of times. Whether it be people speaking out against government, terrorist groups, or just females about inequality. I am lucky to be where I am, with who I am. Even in this country today there is a lot of hush hush going on in relationships. I've seen this first hand even. Whether it be a male in an emotionally abusive relationship or a female. Always being told not to think a certain way, not to feel a certain way, how to do things the 'right' way, who to love or not love, being told not to dress a certain way, all of it. We as people need freedom. We need to be encouraged to find ourselves. People need to stop being so negative towards others when it has no affect on them or their lives. STAND UP for yourself and let it be known that you are you. You will write the chapters in your own life, others are merely characters, some will come and go in your story, and some will stay till your story concludes. You make your life, you live in it, you make your choices!

Ok, five minutes are up, no editing! Please enjoy, check out the blog from ahappygirl. Also, I'd love input and feedback!

I'll be back to post more soon!
