3 in 30 Challenge- June update and July goals

In June I accomplished these 3 goals:

1. I finished the quilt for my daughter.    2. Clean up the laundry room area.

Before!

AFTER!  :)

3. I found 4 good freezer meal recipes, but did not make them as I originally planned because I'm waiting for some ingredients from the garden. But I made a new recipe plan!  Here are my goals for July:  1. I need to write some thank you cards and some letters to MAIL!2.I'm going to clean up the back door area and desk.  Plants will stay, but it will look neater (I hope!).

3.I'm going to workout 15 days this month with my new DVD coming- Jillian's 30 Day Shred.  Yikes!  I've never done her workouts before. I am so excited about the things that I'm accomplishing here in the 3 in 30 challenge. If you are not part of this group, then think about 3 things you want to do and do them. We are here to encourage you on your journey!

8 Weeks to a Less Cluttered Home by Keeper of the Home

I've been meaning to tell you about this all week. Stephanie at Keeper of the Home has a great challenge that I'm taking. If you know me, I love to clean and I am always ready for a cleaning challenge if it will help enhance my life! So for 40 days or 8 weeks Stephanie has made an easy way to declutter your home.  Go to Keeper of the Home and download the free printable for the 8 week challenge.  Basically, spend 30 minutes a day in one area each day and get rid of 10 things.  By the end of 40 days, you will have done a lot of decluttering and have 400 less things!  Ha, I look forward to the transformation.  I will be on vacation for a week in there, but I might double up some days.  Will you join too?  It starts Monday, July2.

Check out all the encouragement on  Facebook.

Simply Orange Juice Company Review

  

I was so excited to try the new flavors from Simply Orange-Simply Cranberry Cocktail and Simply Lemonade with Mango.  I was very pleased with the taste of both of these juices.  I really like the twist of adding mango to lemonade which made it more sweet than tart.  The cranberry cocktail also had a very fresh and delightful flavor.  I liked that I could use the smaller size to bring with me in the car as I go on many errands around town.  But I would have to say my favorite was the Simply Lemonade with Mango.

Simply Orange has a great website that gives lots of information on each of their products and even some recipes to try.  Simply Orange is a company that makes all their juices not from concentrate so they have the freshest and most natural taste.  These juices are quality products that are available in grocery stores.  Be sure to snag one for your summer fun today!

Simply Cranberry Cocktail and Simply Lemonade with Mango are premium juice drinks that are made with all-natural ingredients and use only not-from-concentrate juices. They’re perfect to share while entertaining friends and family or to enjoy when stealing a moment just for you!

The new beverages are available nationwide in the chilled section of the grocery store, and sold in the iconic 59 oz. Simply carafe. Simply Cranberry Cocktail is also available as a 13.5 fl. oz. single serve size to be enjoyed on busy, on-the-go days.

Simply Cranberry Cocktail sets a new standard in great cranberry taste by starting with not-from-concentrate cranberry juice.  As the sole nationally available brand to do so, it can only be found in the chilled section of the grocery store to ensure its natural, fresh cranberry flavor. With its deep red color and just the right balance of sweetness and tartness, the taste of Simply Cranberry Cocktail is deliciously distinct.

 Simply Lemonade with Mango mixes the sweet, smooth taste of mangoes with the delicious taste of Simply Lemonade to create a great new flavor combination. This new twist on an all-time favorite is sure to please palates of all ages.

My Foundation Music Review from Vineyard Worship and Giveaway!

This album has a rich sound that is sure to capture the hearts of students and set them on fire for God.  The songs are relevant to the character of God and how students need to seek Him for everything.  The music is exciting and entertaining, but with a strong message that points to God.  I love that there are many different artists that perform on this album. I think it gives variety, but also sends the message that they are unified in sharing the Good News about the one true God. 

About the album:
MY FOUNDATION was recorded LIVE at the Cultivation Generation conference. The mission of this conference is to connect students with a powerful worship experience that is rooted in bringing people together for the purpose of sending them out.

Cultivation Generation was founded by Jeremiah Carlson, who is also the lead singer and songwriter of The Neverclaim which is featured on the album. Other contributors include notable Vineyard worship leaders and songwriters Anabeth Morgan, Stephen Lampert, David Linhart and Jesse Meyer.

A Recipe Plan!

Are you like me?  Do you find tons of great recipes from all over the web and flit about feeling no closer to using good recipes than when you started?  Well, I have a plan!  I'm so excited.  I love recipes and I love cooking, but I can never get organized to use the recipes that I find.  I end up making the same things over and over.

Here is my plan:

Week 1- Find all the recipe sites that I use and bookmark them using Pinterest.

Have you used Pinterest yet?  I just love it.  I use it mostly for bookmarking great recipes, teaching ideas and more.  It really is handy!

Week 2 and following- Spend one week on each website browsing, bookmarking and possibly making some recipes!  I'm going to try to organize them on my Pinterest board according to type of food like main meal, snacks, dessert, breakfast, etc.

I also have a ton of recipe ebooks that I need to browse as well.  Someday I will get something organized!

I hope to keep you updated as I go through this journey!

My first stop will be Finding Joy in My Kitchen: I just drool everytime I click to her site!

 For the past month I have been slowing down my reading because I have a lot of other things that I'm trying to accomplish. However, at this moment I have my nose in 4 books, but I only finished one this last month!

I'm hooked up with Life As Mom.
