Advent Challenge Day 20

The final days of Advent are here, which means Christmas is just next week already!! Since both of my kids are officially on holiday break, we decided to have a PJ day today and bake Christmas cookies! So far we have only made the dough and will roll them and bake them later today or tomorrow. We had fun! I also like to add a little more nutrition to my baked goods with this wonderful protein for baking, which we also used in place of some of the flour today.

Have you baked your Christmas cookies yet? Do you have a favorite recipe to share?

Thanks for reading and be sure to check out the great deals on our 12 Days of Christmas specials! Today's will be a good one coming soon and just a couple days left!

Blessings to you today!

12 Days of Christmas Day 9 - Shaklee 180!

If you have been following my 12 Days of Christmas specials you have seen some nice deals and many of you have taken advantage of these already. Each deal runs at least 2-3 days so there is still time on deals of the past. Take a look at those!

Today we are featuring one of my very favorite product lines, SHAKLEE 180!!! This is the wonderful program that helped me to lose the weight after my second son was born 6 weeks early and keep it off for 3 years!!!

I love this program because it is easy, quick for a busy mom like myself, it tastes great and it helps me to burn fat while retaining muscle mass!

The key component is Leucine, which is clinically shown to do this.

We have 2 great Shaklee 180 kits available:

The Turnaround kit is recommended for people looking to lose 10 or more pounds.

The Lean and Healthy kit is for people who want to maintain their weight. This is the kit I am currently on but I am getting geared up for the New Year and to lose the last few pounds I gained on my third pregnancy this fall. Some of you may know that I was pregnant with twins and lost the pregnancy. Emotional eating after that wasn't helpful to my weight loss journey so I am ready to take those last few pesky pounds off for good in the new year! How about you?

Here are a few before and afters for inspiration.

If you have some weight to lose, are looking to gain better health and fitness or a few inches to lose, then Shaklee 180 could be your way to do that for good. No more yo-yo dieting as you will burn fat and keep muscle!!

Advent Challenge Day 19

Today was SUPPOSED to be the day to go through toys to donate to Goodwill. But we got so busy and that will be a longer project so instead the boys wanted to play in the snow while it was still here. Today it has been in the 40s so they are enjoying it while it lasts. :)

What did you do today? 

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out our 12 Days of Christmas specials! A good one will be posted later today and for the next few days so keep checking in for the great deals.

Have a great day!!

Advent Challenge Day 18

One week till Christmas! Can you believe it? Are you getting ready?

Today was my oldest's last day of pre-k for the year so he got to stay later and have a pizza party. I took my youngest out to lunch so he had a fun day too. We are looking forward to being able to sleep in a little more for the next couple of weeks and enjoy more family fun activities.

I had a different Advent activity in mind for today but then I saw a friend post a picture on Facebook of her kids playing with snow inside today! We did that for the last few years and the kids loved it so we changed our activity today and brought snow in to play with! It's still pretty cold outside and easier to bring it in to us. The kids think it is the best idea. :)

Have you tried this with your kids before?

Have a great day and be sure to stop by our 12 Days of Christmas sales! Scroll through to find something good for you or a friend.

12 Days of Christmas - Day 8 Start Your Business!!

I have always been entrepreneurial at heart. I think it is in my blood as many people in my family have businesses or had them in the past. Is this you too?

I started my Waterways Music business in 2006 as a music therapist and knew soon after that I would never work a J.O.B again. I loved the freedom of time, freedom of my schedule, freedom of income. It was and continues to be a great fit for me, especially now as I am home with my young boys.

In 2010 I became a distributor for Shaklee, the #1 natural nutrition company in the US, and something I grew up with.

Initially I did this for the product discounts and something I could do casually as a stay at home mom.

I found that I was continually sharing the products that I loved and used with my family, and my business was slowly growing without much effort from me.

In 2012 I decided to treat my business as a business and got more serious. My parents were promoted in Shaklee and enjoying extra income and a free trip to company headquarters in CA.

In 2013 I was also promoted to FastTrack Director and am really enjoying everything that comes along with that - for me it has always been about helping people. That was true as a music therapist and now as a health and wellness coach with Shaklee. I love helping people gain better health and also wealth with their business! It is very rewarding and something I can do with my busy family schedule. It has also helped me pay for my own product as well as help with my family income.

Many people do not realize that Shaklee has a wonderful earnings and benefits plan that anyone can do if they want to! Whatever your goals are - to help yourself and others gain better health and wealth, to take dream trips, make car payments….it is all available to you if you want it.

My team is expanding! If this seems like something you would like to check out, please contact me and we can chat about it.

If you know right now you want to get started then our special today is for YOU!!!

On the 8th day of Christmas, Waterways gave to me…. FREE SHIPPING ($10 value) on any distributor GOLD Pak from Shaklee!!!!

When you order either the Gold Plus Pak or Gold Pak to start your Shaklee business, you will get FREE shipping ($10 value) on your Pak! You will also get unlimited support, resources and coaching from me and our wonderful Shaklee group to help you to succeed in your goals and business!

You can learn more about the Shaklee business opportunity here on this video.

What are your dreams? Are you looking to get out of the rat race and sick of your J.O.B? Are you looking to supplement or replace your current income? If you are looking for a change, then let's talk soon!

Have a great day and be sure to check out our other 12 Days of Christmas specials today! Share with a friend and get a thank you gift from me.

You can take advantage of this and all of our deals HERE.

Our specials are available to Waterways customers, distributors and members as well as new folks to Shaklee. Contact your distributor about matching our specials.

And visit me on Facebook soon! Would love to hear from you there.

Advent Challenge Day 17

When I was a kid I used to love art class. It was something I really enjoyed. But as I grew older I didn't like it very much. I remember working as a rehab therapist in CA and dreading days when we had all of the clients come and make ornaments or had an art day. I just never had the patience for the fine details. Yet, today I found myself doing a simple art project with my boys as our activity. I found this simple Christmas Tree instructions and the kids really loved it. :)

I drew this tree on two pieces of thin cardboard. And cut a slit half way down from the top of one and the bottom of the other.

The kids helped me paint it green. We actually didn't have green paint so we had a little science experiment mixing our blue and yellow paints. :)

After they dried, we cut out little ornaments and glued them on.

And then put it together!

It was fun to do with the boys and they really enjoyed it too. My oldest really loves art time at school so he always enjoys anytime we do something like this.

Are you artsy? 

Thanks for stopping by. Be sure to check out our great 12 Days of Christmas specials happening now! Scroll through the past days. Today's was a deal on children's vitamins that we love in our house and keep us healthy.

Have a great day!

12 Days of Christmas Day 7- Children's Vitamins!

It's Day 7 of our 12 Days of Christmas specials already!! Time is flying by this month. do you feel that way too? Are you ready for Christmas yet? I am getting there but not quite yet…:)

Today I want to share some things that are a staple in my house -

Children's Vitamins!!!

Prevention is so important, especially this time of the year when there are so much sickness going around. And kids seem to pick up so much and share it with their family.

Kids can be so picky with their diet. Supplementation is a great way to fill in the gaps in their nutrition. Be sure to choose a good quality vitamin, without anything artificial and something that is not synthetic or gummy so you know the vitamins are getting into their body. Here are some good choices below.

Many of you know we have a 3 year old who was very sick when he was born 6 weeks early. The doctors predicted several trips to the ER and also that he would be asthmatic. We are so thankful that has not been the case! He is generally speaking, a healthy kid. Colds do hit him a bit harder then my other son but he is still able to battle them without it going to his lungs.

One of the reasons is that we keep his immune system very strong with good supplementation. I want to share these products with you and your kids today to keep them healthier too!

On the 7th day of Christmas, Waterways gave to me, a Free Stomach Soothing complex ($11 value!) when you order the following from Shaklee:

Order Shaklee's Increditives chewable multivitamin

Shaklee Chewable Vitamin C

AND any 2 of the following:

Mighty Smarts DHA

Optiflora Probiotic

Shaklee Meal Shaklee for kids (vanilla or cocoa)

Alfalfa

Your free gift of Stomach Soothing complex is great, especially this time of the year for stomach aches and indigestion. Both my young kids and my husband and myself take this when we have upset stomachs and it works really well! Love this product! 

Our Incredivites chewables are a staple in my kids diet. They love the taste and I love how complete they are with extra immune boosters and no artificial flavors, sweeteners or colors! I was surprised that the popular children's vitamins on the market have aspartame in them, which is linked to several health issues. 

Our chewable vita C is also a staple. I grew up with these too and my kids love the citrus flavor. Each chewable C has the vitamin equivalency in 1.5 organic oranges!

After you have put the Incredivites and Chewable C in your cart, you can choose from two of these to get your free Stomach Soothing Complex!

Mighty Smart Choice is our DHA or fish oil product that tastes so good! These are great for brain function and attention. My kids love the flavor of these chews.

Probiotics are so important for your gut health and disease and immune issues begin in the gut! My kids and I take Optiflora every day. It is very tiny and easy to swallow. When my boys were younger I put it in applesauce or a banana. 

The patented SMART delivery of the Optiflora guarantees millions of live microflora to get to your gut before breaking down. I do not know of any other company that can claim that. So you know it is getting to where it needs to be for the optimal benefits.

Probiotics are smart to take during and especially after antibiotics because antibiotics kill both good and bad bacteria. Optiflora will guarantee you keep that good bacteria to prevent other illness.

Shaklee meal shakes for kids are a great supplement to their diet to make sure the gaps are filled in. This comes in vanilla or bavarian cocoa (makes the best hot chocolate!). I make this for my son daily and he loves it. It is packed with nutrients that his growing body needs.

Shaklee's alfalfa is good for kids and adults to take. It is like an organic leafy salad in a supplement form. You get so much goodness from this and for my kids it helps to keep their immune systems healthy. And it stops a runny nose in its tracks! It really does! and my kids chew these but you can crush them and put them into food if they like that better.

So when you order Shaklee's Incredivites multivitamin, our Chewable vita-C and any 2 of these: Mighty Smarts DHA, Optiflora probiotic, Shaklee meal shake, or Alfalfa, (total of 4 products ordered for your kids) you will get a FREE Stomach Soothing complex! ($11 value)

Contact me to take advantage of this great deal to help your kids stay healthy this winter.

Offer good for existing Waterways customers, members and distributors. And new people to Shaklee. Contact your distributor about matching this deal. And refer a friend to get a thank you gift from me! To take advantage of this great deal, start HERE.

Offer ends Dec. 20, 2013!
