MyClothingHelper – Revolutionize Your Closet

Most of us have clothes that can be worn more than once before washing. How do you keep track of those not-yet-dirty clothes that aren’t ready for the laundry bin?

Some place these “in-be-cleans” on doorknobs, hooks, and chairs. Others rely on the sniff test.  If you have clothes that can be worn more than once before washing then you need MyClothingHelper.

MyClothingHelper is the closet organization tool that tracks what you wear, when you wear it, and how fresh it is. MyClothingHelper reduces laundry, saves you time and money, and it extends the life of your clothes. It’s easy to use and it works on any hanger. Plus you’ll feel good knowing that you’re doing your part to help the environment through the reduced use of resources like water, electricity, and detergents.”

Week Five Results of My Weight Loss Journey With Amway’s Nutrilite!

March 1, 2012 By

My week started off with a two pound weight loss. I have now lost 15 pounds. I should be ecstatic and motivated but I feel like this has been the most difficult week for me.

I don’t know why.

I feel frustrated.

I feel some old cravings creeping up on me.

I don’t want to go down this road and fall back into bad habits.

So, here I am not only being honest with you but most importantly I have to be honest with myself.  I am trying to figure out what has changed for me over the past week that has put me in this negative place.

I have been taking the suggested Nutrilite supplements faithfully. 

I ran out of the Nurtilite Meal Bars that I talked about in previous posts.

Excercise has stayed the same but has not increased.

I have not been taking the time to make the recipes as faithfully as I had the first full month.

 As I read what I just wrote I can see how important it is to take the time to make the meals.  I also really think having the Nutrilite Meal bars was key for me in keeping my hunger and cravings in control.

 I went back and reread some of my previous posts.  I really was into making all the recipes and was enjoying making the food.  I need to get back to that place!

Today is a new day and I am deteremined to work through this! 

I had hopes of putting a favorite recipe on last week with a step by step instructions using the Flip Video.  It didn’t turn out as I had hoped so I will redo it and see if I can get it posted this weekend.

Wishing you a day filled with healthy eating and all the nutrients your body deserves!

My Most Meaningful Moments of 2011

February 29, 2012 By


As I finish up my taxes it made me think of 2011. As the new year passed by, I didn’t even think twice or sit back and reflect on what happened last year. Most of us are counting down the days until the next day off work, vacation, or weekend and we don’t live in the moment. When we live like this we don’t appreciate the meaningful moments that happen throughout the year.

I wanted to take the time and look back on some of my meaningful moments of 2011.

1. Buying our first house. Although it’s a teeny tiny house, it’s ours. I loved all of the projects we did to make it a home. Our raised bed garden project was my fave.

2. Our new puppy! Colton has wanted a puppy ever since he could talk. We were happy to add Ollie to our family and Colt now thinks of him as a brother. Here’s the cute video of them meeting for the first time.

3. My little boy is growing up. It was a mix of emotions when Colton started preschool. Backpacks, book orders and conferences are all part of my life now. You hear it from everyone, but never really know until you have a child; they grow up too fast.

4. Our first family photo! Well, our first “real” family photos that were sent out with our first Christmas cards.

5. New Experiences. I’m grateful for the new experiences I gained, and my visit to Trout Lake Farm was one of them. The beautiful scenery, the new friends I met and everything I learned. It’s experiences like this that I will remember forever!

Share your most meaningful moment from the past year.
