October Monthly Newsletter
Please tell
me that you are enjoying this time of the year as much as me?! The leaves, the
cool crisp air, the pumpkins, mums and apples! I'm canning like crazy, have bushels
of apples and loads of pumpkins in every direction in my home, I just can’t get
enough of it! I would love to know how you are enjoying your fall season!
Comment on this, or post up on Facebook! I would love to learn new ways of
enjoyment!
One way I am
enjoying Fall is preparing for our yearly winter discount. We have changed the
name this year to “The Holiday Cure”. I think it rings in the perfect imagery
of what we want to help accomplish. To have your holiday season run perfectly!

Organization
Idea of the Month
Question,
for you. How do you organize your life? Your budget? Your meals? A great idea
to make life extremely more organized is to get a binder system. Purchase a
binder, a large one is more than enough, however if you get a smaller sized one
you can fit it in your purse! Also get dividers, some for main sections and
some for the sub sections. Here is my planner system, it is organized into main
sections:
1. Monthly
2. Notes
3. To Do’s
4. Menu
Planning
5. Budget
I then also have sub sections:
1.
PTA
2.
Church
3.
Bible Study
4.
Seasonal Fun
5.
Projects
Now your subsections can be
whatever you do, or need. Example: Workouts, Income, Sports, Checklists, School
and always good to have a Blank one. I would love to have a more in-depth blog
about each section and how to organize even deeper. If you are interested
please comment!
Cleaning
Idea of the Month
Windows
and window treatments. How are yours looking? I know I am kind of freaking out
when I look at my windows in my home at the moment. I know winter is on its
way, and I know that I can see my knuckle and finger prints on the windows from
throwing them open all summer and fall long. So now is the time to prep for
winter. Look at your schedule for the next 2 weeks….go ahead, stop reading and
look. Ok do you see an open afternoon? Or have a child who is in need of some
good hard work? Write in “Window Overhaul” on your calendar. And don’t let your
mother in-law or your best friend try to swoop you off to a lunch or shopping
trip. Keep this date. And grab some newspaper and some vinegar water and clean
them! Time yourself. No more than 5 minute a window. Don’t let yourself get all
crazy into it. It’s not needed at the moment. It isn't spring cleaning, you are
just preparing to close up your windows. That is all.
Craft of the Month
Simple,
easy and fun! A great way to get your craft on with the kids at the same time
get to celebrate Halloween is to grab some old coffee cans or large tomato cans,
get some paint, and a large nail and hammer. Ok now image your design. A jack O’
Lantern, words like “Happy T-Day” or “Trick or Treat”. Draw out your design,
paint, and make holes in the tin cans by nailing them. Drop in a candle and
enjoy!
Healthy Idea of the Month
Do your kids eat healthy? Now,
honestly, do YOU eat healthy? A great way to cultivate your children into
eating healthy as a lifestyle is if in starts with you. Here are 5 rules of
thumb you must live by to help the next generation eat healthier and be
happier.
Here are some ways to pass on the
knowledge and skills
1. Make it the norm- You do it, they do it. It’s always
there, it’s all they know!
2. Wise them up-Teach them how to read labels, and show
them the how much sugar, fat and educate them on healthier options.
3. Set the standard- Let them know it is no option to eat
unhealthy
4. Let them create- Show them new foods, bring them into the
kitchen, and let them try everything
5. Keep it light and happy- Make it a no pressure situation, don’t
put down others while you are lifting them up. And don’t make them feel guilty
for wanting to try unhealthy foods, just guide and inform.
