Welcome back to Get Motivated Mondays, where we talk about ways to stay motivated in losing weight and getting healthier!  Today, I have a special guest that I’ve interviewed about her success so far with the T-tapp exercise program.  I met her on a Facebook group for moms with lots of children.  I was so impressed with her quick results, I asked if she’d  share a little more about her

How to get your paintbrushes clean once the paint has already dried on them…. We’re about to start on some more painting projects now that it’s warm enough again!  I was out in my building (kind of like our garage with no overhead door, but we store our tools and outdoorsy type projects out there) and ran into this paint brush that I once thought was beyond hope. I remembered

I caught a glimpse of the sun going down tonight and it reminded me of my need for sunlight! Welcome back to Get Motivated Mondays!  I’ve been having a hard time with staying motivated this past week.  I’ve been feeling a bit down and just plain grumpy.  Of course, it rained most of the week and I had little chance to get any sunshine throughout the week.  I didn’t really

On March 23rd, 1996, I got married to my dear husband, Ryan.  I was 19, he was 20.  Just a couple of kids.   We eloped…..kind of. We eloped, but we took our family with us.  So, in attendance, we had a total of 10 people, including us.  11 if you count the “minister”.  My parents, his parents, my sister and her husband and my grandparents. This is us with

I’ve had a couple of nasty stains that I’d been needing to try to do something with.  In fact, one of them, I was going to overlook.  My baby’s poopy diaper had leaked right onto my cream colored bed sheet.  I washed it and accidentally dried it without checking it first to see if the stain had come out.  When I next went to put it on the bed, my

An Easy Project to Reuse & Recycle #10 Cans  Since we have a large family of 8 people, we go through A LOT of food!  Before we had children, we could not eat a loaf of bread before it would get moldy.  Now, we sometimes buy 10 loaves at a time!  We also try to save money by buying #10 cans of food.  The most common thing we buy in them

My little baby. He’s growing up so fast! Being the sidetracked person that I am, my thoughts today have been very random.  Instead of a focused post, you get to read my crazy, randomness. (This post contains affiliate links) Next Friday is our 16th wedding anniversary!  Sometimes, I can’t believe that I’ve been alive that long, let alone married that long! We are going away on a special anniversary trip.

A few weeks ago, we had a big, scary storm with lots of high winds.  My daughter was looking out the window right when she saw the wind pick our trampoline up off the ground and slam it up against the house, onto it’s side.  Our new trampoline.  The one with the net that goes around it that the kids absolutely love!  The one their grandparents got them for Christmas.

A Natural Heartburn Remedy My husband has struggled with heartburn ever since I have known him.  He would pop over the counter antacid pills like they were candy in the early years.  Later, while we were in the Army, he would get some prescription antacid’s that were a little heavier duty, but still he would have problems with awaking suddenly in the night with a sudden onset of heartburn.  In

Testimonials

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
