It is the final day of Advent which means Christmas is tomorrow!! I have enjoyed sharing the activities that my family has done this season. It has helped us to be closer in spite of all the hustle and bustle of the season. I hope it has done the same for you. I have enjoyed your comments about my challenge with those of you who were doing it too as well as people who have simply said they enjoyed reading the posts and it helped them to remember the reason for the season. It is so easy to get caught up in the presents, shopping, lights etc and forget that we are here to celebrate the birth of a baby - Our Savior, Jesus! He was given to bring light to the world and to give us joy, peace, hope and love. We lit our final candle - the white candle which represents Jesus' light. This was the candle that I made with my friend Cheryl that we used as our Unity Candle in our wedding 9 years ago!
Today my family is finishing up our activities by sprinkling the lawn with our Reindeer food that we made yesterday, leaving cookies out for Santa that we made a few days ago, and going to the Children's Christmas Mass at church. (and again for me as I am singing and playing flute with the choir at our 10:30pm mass tonight. Hope I can stay awake. it is worth it as the "midnight" mass is one of my favorites. so beautiful with all of the candles:)
So from my family to yours, Merry Christmas! Enjoy the season and continued prayers to those of you who have lost a loved one this year. May you gain peace and strength through Jesus. And thank you to my friend Rachel Jones for taking such wonderful pictures of us at Happy Hollow park in September! Enjoy your day with friends and family! ~Rebecca~
It's the Eve before Christmas Eve! We had fun with our activity today - making Reindeer Food!!! Santa's reindeer need to be sure they don't miss our house after all. And they probably feel left out with all of the cookies Santa gets.
It was very easy. We just mixed oats with green and red sugar! Snow would be nice to show off the sugar, but we will still sprinkle it on our lawn tomorrow night none the less. There are several recipes for reindeer food online. Just be sure you find one with ingredients that won't harm any animals when ingested.
What activities did you do today? Are you ready for Christmas?
Be sure to check out the deals on our 12 Days of Christmas specials. some are still running so you can still take advantage of those.
It is the 4th Sunday of Advent already and the 4th and final candle is lit! I can hardly believe it!
Today's activity was to take some of the cookies we baked yesterday to a neighbor and surprise them!
The boys wanted to take some next door so we did. They got a good end of the deal as they were invited in to play with the boy who lives there. :)
What activities did you do today? Are you prepared for Christmas and Jesus' Birth? Remember to keep everything in perspective. It doesn't have to be perfect. Just for Him and it will all fall into place. :)

Today's is another good one for you or your favorite athlete. Actually, I do not consider myself an athlete at all but I love the Sports Nutrition products from Shaklee!!!
On the 12th Day of Christmas, Waterways gave to me….great sports nutrition from our favorite company - Shaklee!!!
When you order any of the 3 products featured on today's post, you will get a FREE Meadow Blend Soap Free Bar ( love this!!!) to help you clean up after your workouts…or anytime you bathe:)
Shaklee has some great products for before your workout, during and after!!! These are products used, trusted and loved by many US Olympians and world class explorers on our Pure Performance Team!
Our Energy Chews give you an extra burst of energy and endurance for your workouts. They have a natural green tea extract. I love them before I go on a run but also for days that I am just plain dragging. :)
Our Performance Hydration drink (lemon-lime or orange. 2 different sizes to choose from ) is great for hydrating during your workouts. It is also good for hot days as well as after a stomach bug hits. It does not have anything artificial and is easy to mix with water and tastes great. My kids love this too!
We also have our banana flavored Physique for muscle repair after your hard workouts. Good nutrition too!!
If you have some aches and pains after workouts or maybe have joint or back pain, you will love our Joint Pain Cream! It has menthol and I feel this working right away when I have a neck or back pain.
And our Free Product when you order at least any 3 of the above (energy chews, Performance, Physique and/or Joint Pain Cream) is our wonderful smelling, soap-Free Meadow Blend Cleansing bar. I use this daily on my sensitive skin and love it. It is not drying or harsh on my skin and everyone in your family can enjoy it! I also like this bar because it lasts a very long time!
Today's deal is good through Dec. 24, 2013 and is for all Waterways customers, members, distributors and anyone new to Shaklee. Be sure to check with your distributor about matching our deals.

We are in the final stretch of our 12 Days of Christmas specials! You can scroll through to see the ones that are still available and take advantage of those! I also have a great one for you today!!!
On the 1st Day of Christmas specials I offered you a Free Shaklee Membership with the purchase of Vitalizer! Today's deal is with Vitalizer and protein and is even sweeter then the first day because you can get that deal plus this deal!!
Shaklee has a guarantee on all of our great products. However, there is a special guarantee: when you take Vitalizer and one of our great protein powders, you will have more energy and overall feel better or your money back!!!
On the 11th day of Christmas, Waterways gave to me better health and wellbeing AND more energy from Shaklee!!
When you order one of Shaklee's Vitalizers (for women, men and gold for people over 50) and one canister of protein (either Energizing Soy Protein or Shaklee 180 Smoothee mix) you will get an additional canister of protein at 1/2 price for added nutritional benefits at half the cost!!! In addition you will get a Free Shaklee membership with the order of Vitalizer.
Protein is the building block of all cells in the body. (hair, skin, nails…) As our body loses cells daily and makes new cells, we want those cells to be normal and healthy. Shaklee protein helps that to happen. We have a few great options on this deal today.
Our Energizing soy protein is a non-GMO water washed protein. It is a pure form of soy protein that tastes great and my entire family enjoys. Protein is the building block of all cells and many people are deficient in good sources of protein. Soy is the most complete plant based protein out there and Shaklee's is the best quality to help you gain optimal nutrition. You have the choice of vanilla or cocoa.
Shaklee 180 smoothee mix is a full meal replacement and something I have every morning. I love the taste, convenience and health benefits I get from this drink. Your choice of vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, cafe latte and for a very limited time this month vanilla chai. Mango is coming in January!
I try to eat well, but don't always achieve that. When I started on Vitalizer plus Shaklee protein I have been so much healthier and have had so much more energy to chase my little boys around. :) It has helped me to fill in the gaps in my diet and I am appreciative of the many health benefits (immune, mood, energy) that I have gotten!
I take this every day and have really noticed a big boost in my energy levels and overall health!
It comes in a formula for women, men and people over the age of 50.
Every vitamin and nutrient your body needs comes in one convenient strip, which is great for traveling.
You get 80 bio-optimized nutrients that are clinically proven to create the foundation for a longer, healthier life!
Here is some data from the 2007 study done at UC Berkley School of public health showing how long term users of Shaklee supplements are across the board healthier then people who did not take any supplements and people who just took another brand's multivitamin.
When choosing a supplement, it is important to know what you are getting. Basically you get what you pay for. If you choose the cheapest, there is a possibility that it is just passing through your body without helping you at all. Basically, you would be better off to save that money on those type of supplements. It is also good to choose a whole-food supplement rather then synthetic and something that does not have artificial flavors, coloring, preservatives, etc.
Vitalizer has several patents on the SMART delivery system alone, which is shown to get each vitamin to the place in your body where it needs it the most before the vitamin breaks down.
Our probiotic, Optiflora, which is in the Vitalizer, is shown to get all the way down into your colon before breaking down! It is guaranteed to deliver millions of live microflora to your lower intestine, which to my knowledge no other company can claim!
Here is a quick video to learn more about the benefits Vitalizer can give to you and your loved ones this holiday season.
So today through Dec. 24 when you order any Vitalizer (autoship will save you an additional 10% but isn't required for this deal. you have complete control over your autoship and can change any time) and any protein (energizing soy or Shaklee 180 smoothee) you will get an additional protein canister at half price!!! Be sure to put your second protein of your choice in your cart and you will be rebated the savings! Mention this deal when ordering to save!

Today's Advent challenge is to give away some toys to Goodwill. We are starting with the bins we have of endless stuffed animals! Each boy is choosing some to donate. If you know me at all, you know that I am a pack rat by nature. I blame my genes :) So this is actually not an easy task for me to sort and get rid and I think my youngest takes after me while my oldest is like his dad and quick to get rid of everything! lol. But we are purging our home and it does feel good to get rid of stuff. And hopefully help other children enjoy their christmas more with some of the things we get rid of. Clutter tends to weigh people down and it is a good idea to get rid of things from time to time. Do you agree?
We also plan to bake our Christmas cookies today as well as go to see Christmas lights tonight! Fun day!
What are you up to today? Are you prepared for Christmas yet?
I hope you have been enjoying our 12 Days of Christmas specials as much as I have enjoyed writing them and offering them. I am so glad many of you have already been able to benefit from these deals. We just have a couple days left!! And today's is another great one….
In my health and wellness business, the biggest complaint I hear so often is a lack of energy! People are tired! We live in a busy, fast paced, working multiple jobs, taking care of a home and family kind of world. Kids are in a zillion activities, we are eating poorly because it is fast and convenient but not fueling our bodies and we are not getting enough sleep….
We.Are.Tired!!!!
AND STRESSED OUT!!!
Can you relate?
If so then today's special is made for YOU!!! :)
On the 10th Day of Christmas, Waterways gave to me….more energy from Shaklee!!!
Our Energizing soy protein is a non-GMO water washed protein. It is a pure form of soy protein that tastes great and my entire family enjoys. Protein is the building block of all cells and many people are deficient in good sources of protein. Soy is the most complete plant based protein out there and Shaklee's is the best quality to help you gain optimal nutrition.
Since I started on Shaklee nutrition a few years ago, I noticed a considerable lift in my energy levels. The above products are some that I take daily and really benefit from to help gain energy and manage stress, especially during this time of the year when we all have a lot going on!
Energy Chews are part of our Sports Nutrition for extra stamina for athletes but I also like them on days I am really dragging. They are made from a green tea extract and have a natural caffeine. I love these!!!
The B Complex is your Happy Vitamin! Many people are deficient in B and this is a huge staple in my vitamin routine. It helps manage stress and also adds energy to my day. LOVE this product!!
I look forward to my energy tea every day. Hot or cold is great. I also like to add some of Shaklee Performance to it sometimes or lemon, lime or raw honey. Really refreshing and a huge boost in energy. This has a natural caffeine and is part of our Shaklee 180 weight management program but anyone can enjoy this great drink!
VitalMag is a sustained release supplement that can help with nerves, stress, energy, PMS symptoms and more. Many people are deficient in magnesium which can also help prevent headaches.
Corenergy (vegetarian) is a great herbal that can help maintain your energy levels and resist fatigue.
Got stress? Stress Relief Complex can help! The science behind this supplement shows that it can help with relaxation, alertness, feeling less tense and having better concentration.
