FLYLADY - Week 1
Good morning, everyone!
Looks like I have one more 'cool' day to accomplish something. The cooler weather sure has made a difference in my energy level. I got a lot done in the office yesterday, prepping for my work week.

FLYLADY - Week 4 - The Office
Good morning, friends!
I can't believe we are going in to week four of the month already! Where is the time going so quickly? The only bright spot is that we are moving closer to fall. I am sooo ready for the cooler temperatures.

#FREEZEDRIEDFRIDAY - Burritos & Thrive Life News
Good morning, everyone.
I wanted to pop in here and post the recipe for today's video. Once the video is available in the morning, I'll link it here for all the details, tips.
Because the following products are on special this month, I used them to make my homemade burritos.
I used 1 serving give on each of the can directions. This was enough to make 4 Large tortilla burritos
Pulled Pork - 1 C of pork to 1/2 C of hot water. Stir every 5 minutes for about 20 minutes.
Instant Refried Beans - 1-1/3 C refried beans to 1-1/3 C of water... Simmer 4-6 min on low.
Tomato Dices - 1 C. tomato dices to 1/3 C. of water. Stir to moisten
Cheddar Cheese - 1 C. cheddar cheese to 3-1/2 Tablespoons water. Mix then refrigerate 35 minutes.
Now, for the Thrive Life news.
Thrive Live will be closing their doors Augusts 31, 2025.
This news saddens me. They are a great company, providing a much-needed service. We can all afford a freeze-dryer but they made it possible for the consumer to stock their pantry with quality products.
I had to miss the meeting as HoneyB had a vet appointment so I don't have all the details yet, but since hearing the news, I've assessed my pantry and placed an order to fill in gaps for WHAT WE EAT on a regular basis.
If I can help you navigate what you might need in your pantry, please reach out.

FLYLADY - Week 4 - Office
Good morning, everyone!
I was so intent on setting up blog posts on my author account for the month of July yesterday I totally forgot to post here.
I leave Thursday for a quick weekend trip to IL to see a dear friend so I've been trying to get a jump on July. That, and I'll be spending most of July in a Fast Draft Challenge to finish Book 2 in my Planned to Perfection Series. You'll find Book 1 HERE if you're in the mood for a Christmas read.
