Through looking for a greener life style and wanting to get healther, I mean ya know, lose the pounds I have come across some reading material and I cant wait to take you all on the journy..ok maybe I can.. but Im going to take the journey and Im going to do while journaling it.. GO ME!!

Wednesday April 27, 2011


Day 1



Start to my journal on the Kris Karr lifestyle… My plan here is to journal my findings and to see what happens to me… There are a few things I will need in order to get started….

1. Money... ok well maybe that will come later... So i will just get really creative

2. Scale

3. tape measure

4. Juicer

5. a baby jogger

6. a new blender… thanks old blender for not being able to hold up to the job.

7. Tons of spices, oils, vegetables and fruits…



My plan is to start with the 21 day cleanse and then slowly move my family into this new lifestyle… I love my children and Im willing to do anything to live longer and give them a longer life…. I have 4 children and they are all fighting this change, so I have given them 21 days to to fill up on the crap. I plan to begin Saturday April 30th… Im going to start making juices and smoothies and eating and living like I mean it.



Here are some of the issues I hope to fix..

1. I struggle with headaches

2. Im overweight.. extremely.. in fact I’m probably obese

3. Im lazy and lack the energy to walk

4. I have tummy issues… constipation, then on to diarrhea... Ok ok who wants to read about the body function... TMI!!!

5. I have bad asthma

6. my joints ache a lot



I’m hoping that in time.. I will know how to prepare meals, and portions sizes… Im re training my self…. I hope to find some nutritional classes to take, learn yoga and I hope that if this works for me…. I can then start talking to others….



I have never been a believer of pills, and shakes and crap like that… So Im hoping by learning a new lifestyle and slowing bringing back the BAD FOODS that I will stay active, healthly and at a nice weight..



Im going to pray now… So please bare with me…

Dear Lord in heaven…. Please bless ME… I will need you to be my savior, my saving grace, I will need you to give me the strength I need to do this… I will need your support and love through this journey, this is not something I can do on my own, I will need your love, your support your guidance, and your tend caress….I will need you to provide the income that we need in order to afford these new way of living… Oh Lord please give me the strength, the courage, and the hope that I will make this journey successful. In Gods name we pray Amen!!



Ok.. So here is my plan… to weight myself and take measurements before I begin.. I will weight and measure my self every week.. it will be Fridays and it will be at night…. I will also record what I ate and what I did for activities… I will also keep track of my water in take… Im dumping Diet Coke, LORD be with for this journey…

Ok enough rambling.. if this works. I will push Kris Karr through praise, and love for her new found information.. Let me just say this right now though. I heard about Kris Karr through the Woman’s World magazine, I have never taking much thought about those diets in there, most times I laugh at them and think yeah right.. But for some reason, the day I read that article, something clicked, I don’t know what, but something did. I then decided to go all in, I bought the book that day, and now I have it in my hot little hands, Im readying feverishly, and I cant wait for my first trip to a health food store to actually by health food, not to take a pit stop. There is just something about reading this book, that is giving me my Ahhhh moment….



So if you are ready, then sit back and watch because this going to be a ride… No more meat, no more diary, no more eggs, no more sugar, and most importantly no more article sweeteners.. My heart is freaking out just thinking about all this. So be ready for the highs and the lows of this journey.

So as you all know I'm on this journey to work from home. So I have been researching and searching and looking and I have came across this blog, this really cool site.  It has a lot of information for those of you that really want to be a sahm. Don't get me wrong it won't be easy and it's a lot of work. But if you are determinded you can do it. The site I found is called  money saving mom and it is filled with information to help you live on a shoe string budget, here is the link to that site if you want to start learning the tips http://moneysavingmom.com/. Not only is it filled with information for living on rice and beans but also how to earn money from home, home based business ideas, and other information. It is a great site to follow.

Another way to help live on a budget, is through coupons, free samples, and swagbucks... All of this is alot of work. But it is helping. Here is the referral to sign up at swagbucks... believe me it will help me and you both to do it http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/crzynutmom. Start earning your points and strive for a goal. This way you know what you are working for.

These are just a few of the things I have found to help on my way to be able to stay at home with my kids, and still be able to get them the things they want and need. You will learn a great deal for these sites. Good luck and I hope I have helped you.

Don't forget that you can also earn money from home through direct sales companies, just do your homework on them. Don't fall for one, based on the cost to sign up. Sign up for one because you believe in the company and the products. This will make your job alot easier to do. Right now with the internet, your earning potential is endless, use your contacts. If you believe in what your selling, it makes it alot easier to talk about.  This is the reason I have made my decision on Celadon Road. I'm not telling all of you to sign with this company. Make sure its the company for you. I will also be signing up for Pampered Chef, because... Who doesn't like to cook or try to cook.  There is nothing wrong with trying two direct sales companies, just make sure that the companies allow it. I will be working two so that I can work my way up to my income I want to make from home. I have a goal in mind, and this is why Im going with two... This way in the end I know that I have tried.

Remember I'm learning right along with you. But I hope that I can help you too.  Where I Once flew now I can soar.

Oh my geez I dont even know what to say

So I just got word that Celadon Road is offering for a limited time a $79.99 business start up kit.... That is freaking GRAND!!! I can't wait for the state to make there monthly daycare payment... that money is going towards a business kit....

After years of research and getting into the wrong direct sales companies.... I have found the one that I cant wait to be a part of.  I have been wait for this opportunity to come since 1998, WOW... and it's going to happen.

But there is more to this company than the business kit. It has products that everyone could want. If you are looking for a way to go green and help save the environment or play your role in it... then come a board with this company.  you wont be sorry. I cant wait to make this change for my family.

I'm going to start learning everything I can, I'm getting my self all perpared so that when my kit is here I can have my launch party.  I want to hit the ground running and running fast.

Thank you Celadon Road and Chanelle Brennan... You have made my day. Im filled with giddy and excitment.

Where I once fly now I can soar!!

GOD never gives you more than you can handle right....Anyway I'm glad that I did it. it was getting to stressfull trying to work my appointments around a family that may or may not show up, or show up when not excepting them.. no calls, no nothing... Kind of disreceptfull. Thats ok they can be some one elses headache now.

I have a plan and Im going with it... Im not going to second guess my self anymore... Im just going to pull those big girl panties on and jump in those boots and make it happen.

I love my kids and my husband so I have to make it work.

Through thinking positive... where I once flew I can now soar...
So Im going to fill up on positive thoughts.

thank you heavenly father for my blessings, for every blessing you have given me... thank you for bringing a new year with new hope to us....  Please God give me the strength to say kind words to my children when they are acting out. Give me the guidence I need to show them the way to you. Give me the confidence I need to bring my new opportunity to others, bless us with this new business. Dear Lord you know our needs, Im only asking that you help us meet them. In Gods name I pray Amen.

Holy wind

WOW is it crazy out side or what???? The wind is blowing so hard today its crazy..... at anytime I feel like the house is going to blow off the foundation and blow down the street, thank goodness the pool is a block away it might stop us.. Ok.. I know it cant happen.. but WOW, blow wind blow... bad enough the Aussie (Rascal the dog) thought he needed to be inside.... Dont have a problem with that... Kelby loves to play with that dog.... Man watching those too wrestle is funny, the dog, will let Kelby tackle him sometimes, but not all the time, its funny... I really need to figure out how download my camcorder and record this and post it... because man oh man.... Good thing Racal is young yet.... Because poor old Shadow cant take much wrestling.... but I dont know what we would do without her.....shes the best dog ever.... Going to take some work to get rascal there!!

Have another WOW for ya..... Kieron has decided that he doesnt want to do the club wrestling.....After going 15-0 for his 8th grade wrestling year.... I know that its his decision, one he has to make and live with.... But I have this empty feeling about it... We have been doing wrestling this time of year since he was 4, thats 9 years, this year would have been 10... Burnt out I dont know.... He wants to play jr high basketball and not have to worry about wrestling.... does this scare me... not sure..... He is an aswesome wrestler with lots of potential, but a break might be the best thing for him.... Saves me money, and I like that...

Tonight is going to be a mom and Aubree night.... the movie tangled is showing at our movie house and I decided that I could take a little bit of money and take her... I cant wait and she is soooo excited to go to the movies... It will be a dad and Kelby night, how much fun does that sound.??

Well I guess I need to talk a little bit about the work I did yesterday..... I have signed up for swagbuck, wow loving it... and found a ton of coupon sites going to be couponing, crazy me.... I then have found some other sites, that pay you for your opinion.... how fun, Im going to be earning some money... Im going to be signed up for Celadon Road in no time..... yes and Pampered Chef, but thats easy right there, its only $80.00 right now, they are running a special.. So right now until Feb 28th... so it wont hurt the Checkbook too bad..... But what Im most excited about, the one thing that is burning inside of me is getting my Celadon Road up and going.... I cant wait to have my launch party.... I cant wait to show this to my friends and family...  I was kinda hoping that being January and after the holiday's that Celadon Road might run a special, ya know to get those poor people signed up..... ya know sign up before Feb 1st for only $80 dollars and get the full kit... Oh well.... Lots of those direct sales companies are holding big time sign up special right now..... So be carefull and make sure you fully research your company and make sure its the best decision for you...
I for one am so excited for 2011 and to grow my business!!

Just remember that God can lead us, but we have to make the decision to follow.... So follow my friends make the decision to make your future better our future better, your children future's better...

New year new start

Well I didnt know how 2011 was going to start after the way 2010 ended.... Its was filled with anxiety and stress. But what I have decided is that Im going to prayer about everything and worry about nothing. Sounds easier than what it will be Im sure, but  this is my one and only resolution, and I dont do resolutions.... I mean why commit to something that in the end you know your just going to fail at. Instead Im setting goals small, but do able I hope.
So what are my goals.... Well

1. Take the kids on a vacation... I dont care what it is... but I want to save enough money to take them to World's of Fun, the Omaha Zoo, and whatever else we find to do in Kansas City and Omaha...  I also want to take them Skiing for Christmas this year.... I want great memories..... I decided that they really dont care about the presents,they had more fun getting money and going shopping... SO my goal for Christmas next year is, Santa gift, yes hard to do while at a Ski lodge, not sure we will find out... But I also want to save enough money that we can Ski for 3 days I want to be away for 6 days.... I have plans for Deadwood South Dakota.... So watch and see how this year goes.... IF your the praying type.... Pray that we are blessed financial to save up for these vacation... Because its all about creating Memories with my children that they will remember for ever... I have always wanted to learn to ski, and ya know what... Im going to... My kids are going to.... and so we are doing this.

2. Save money.... yes i want to save more money..... not sure how with the cost of gas going up... But I want to have fun on our trips, I want to buy my kids the best of the best and I dont want to worry about anything... IF this mean taking food of the table, then I cant... But I will turn that damned cable off, not like theres anything worth watching on it anyway.

3.  Find and Grow a home based business. I dont care if this is a direct sells company, or something I do myself....I have to find something that will bring in $600 a month or more.... finding a job around here is not going all that well, in fact it sucks.... Growing a daycare is not happening, Im still trying dont get me wrong.... But I have to make some money and  I have done lots of research on this. I went to the Direct sells association and went through all the business.....
I the went through and weeded out companies that dont offer alot in commission, or training or help getting start and to high of a start up cost.... IF it cost more than $150.00 then its not for me... I then weeded out by products, what ones are substainable, which ones will keep people coming back for more... I have now narrowed my search down to which company had the best response time to my email.... I have now on my list 2 companies....

a.) Celadon Road
b.) Pampered Chef

and Im thinking Im going to try them both... I mean who doesnt need kitchen products, right... and Celadon Road this company is a new up and coming company, that as of right now, the earning are endless... Its products are for every one and everything... They offer kitchen stuff, animal stuff, stuff for babies and children, clean products, home decor and get this.... It's all green... that's right GREEN.... What a way to help the earth.. Make sure my Children, my grandchildren have beautiful land to fish, hunt and live on.... I'm really excited about my income possiblities in both companies...

This blog is going to start following me in growing these businesses.... and While I will still talk about that crazy and cooky Kelby and my other Children... Im going to write about mostly me growing a direct sells company... Don't worry, Im also looking into mowing lawns this summer with Kieron... But if this Celadon Road takes off, Like I pray it does..... Then not to worry, Kieron will be mowing lawns hisself.

I need to ad, that Im going to purchase a camera this year, and nice camera, one that will take pictures while children are sporting, looking good sitting in a tree, or just swimming like a fish.... I cant wait to capture my beautiful children doing what they do best, being KIDS!!!

So the plan... income tax return money, fight with the governement for our house creidt, hell yeah I want that money... Get a Camera, purchase pampered CHef kit and Celadon Road Kit and new mower... Put money in a 6 month CD and then put the rest back for Christmas.. Oh Pay house taxes and insurnace.... Then what ever is left..... Spend it on my Children....

Sorry to bore you all... I truely hope that you will continue to follow my journey to a healthier, greener livestyle and if you want to join me.... Let me know... want to purchase from me.... give me a shout!!!
Together we can go green.....
