While I hate to toot my own horn... I'm heading back to REGULAR POSTINGS for the summer!  I already have some awesome {Lazy Green Mama} ideas, posts and giveaways in the works!

While I'm finishing my last day of school (tomorrow) and prepping for the Laurel Highlands Ultra Trail Relay (heaven help me, I'm NOT ready), I wanted you to know about this awesome offer on Thrive Life starter kits.  I've seen them offer free shipping about once every year, and you do NOT want to let this pass you by.

I shared my main concerns/ hesitations to joining Thrive Life here.  Now, over a year and a half after I enrolled and swore I wasn't going to make it a business, I've earned back ALL of my expenses and get my food for free, I earn regular paychecks (even when I don't hold parties/classes!), and... MY HUSBAND AND I GOT TO GO TO MEXICO FOR FREE!  Due to my families schedule and work commitments, I've really scaled back my end of the business, and yet... I'm STILL earning money and perks.  Thrive solves so many problems for people and I LOVE being their "store front".  Find out more about how Thrive can solve your problems here.

Feel free to ask me ANYTHING about Thrive Life products and/or the business :)

For the first time EVER, Thrive Life is having their largest sale in MARCH!  I dare say, this is actually their largest SALE ever!

Yes, they have amazing deals on Black Friday, but if you like the Thrive Life freeze dried food (which either you DO or you haven't tried it yet), this is the sale to KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF!  

The sale runs March 18th-25th and is only while supplies last.  So hurry to my website, fill up your cart and ENJOY!  

Who to call?
Where to go?
What to pack?  (actually, if it's not already packed and readily accessible, you're not really ready for an emergency)

If you're like most Americans, you know emergencies happen, but don't make a conscious effort to be ready for one (raising hand).   My husband has been talking about this issue for years, encouraging me to read certain books & websites, but they all seemed too doom and gloom... so I skimmed them and then put it out of my happy mind.

However, it's not just me who is unprepared.  It's my little girls.  Some of the scenarios that instantly make my blood turn cold are:  having a car accident on a rural road in the winter, losing power indefinitely, house fire, tornado (there's been one locally in my lifetime), loss of income.

Aack, my shoulders are literally rising in tension just thinking about these things.  My friend and Thrive Life mentor, Misty, at YourOwnHomeStore.com is an expert in preparedness for her family.  While I still have a LOOONG way to go, I'm getting there.  She is helping me one baby step at a time.

I want to help you get there too.  So, in honor of National Preparedness Month, I have some amazing specials to offer you.  You cannot get these specials by ordering online, you must email me your order, address, and phone number.   I will call you within 48 hours to finalize everything (or the next business day if you order on a weekend). 
Each of these packages makes it possible for you to snag 35%-41% less per can than you would be able to otherwise.

Oh my...this is a GREAT surprise!  Thrive is offering some of their MOST POPULAR foods, storage systems & emergency supplies at deeply discounted prices!

HURRY... there are limited quantities!  I suggest trying some of the Neaopolitan Bits (save almost $10!) and snagging some Pantry Plus Cansolidators (save $30!) so you can {finally} tackle that "organize the pantry" goal!

These prices are the same whether you buy online or contact me to place your order. 

In a society of excess STUFF, I make an effort to give my loved ones fair trade, hand made or consummable gifts.  This year, instead of baskets of highly processed crackers & cheese... I'm giving THRIVE!  Whole foods, delicious, easy, nutritious & inexpensive... the perfect combo!

FUDGE BROWNIES!  After you buy this, send me an email and I'll send you printable can toppers to make it a gift & card in one!

Released just last night, this is a gift which is sure to bring smile after smile!

Pantry cans (16 servings) are on sale for $5.59!

HURRY...these won't stay in stock long!

THRIVE EXPRESS MEALS! Perfect for a college student, a busy family, an elderly relative, an adventurer/backpacker or a single friend... ok EVERYONE who wants a night off from cooking without sacrificing taste, nutrition or paying a fortune at a restaurant.

Each pack costs about $7 and contains 4 servings (beat THAT drive-thru lane!). The side dishes contain 2 servings.

Head to my webstore to drool over the THRIVE EXPRESS meal options!

Ok, this one isn't edible, but you can't go wrong with something SO PRACTICAL!  Personally, I want one in every room in my house... BRING IT ON STORMY WEATHER!

Red Cross Blackout Buddy!  An LED rechargeable flashlight that...wait for it... TURNS ITSELF ON when your power goes out!  BRILLIANT!  You can also use just one of the LED bulbs for a nice nightlight.  Yes Grandma, you will be getting this... no more stumbling around trying to remember where your flashlight is...only to discover that it's d.e.a.d!

I started a very very bad habit with Hazel... GUMMIES!  I love gummies myself, but Hazel LOOOOOVES gummies.  I try to limit her gummies to just at church or travelling.  The members of my church have been subject to frequent cries "I WANT GUMMIES".  One pack is just never enough.

Enter THRIVE who SAVED THE DAY!  Now I just fill a baggie with REAL FRUIT SNACKS!  Straight out of the can, these fruits are bite sized, crunchy, sweet and delicious!  They have ALL the same nutrients as fresh and because they are freeze-dried, they have a 25-year shelf life and no additives or preservatives! 

Now when Hazel asks for gummies, I'll say "how about fruit snacks".  She'll smile and nod her head vehemently. 

This package is typically only available through a home party (or by emailing me).  However, for the Black Friday Sale, you can purchase this online for this AMAZING price (only Friday through Monday)!


Pie Fruit 6-Pack
Retail:  $218.59
Black Friday Sale Price:  $163.89
*note:  after posting this I realized that that price can be shocking unless you understand how much fruit you're getting.  Those are each #10 size cans.  For example, the strawberries (our favorite) has 44 servings (1/4 cup)!  Like my wise father just said, "it may be a good price, but I'd never sit down and eat 3 peaches... but I WILL eat 3 handfuls of these peaches!".  So, now your biggest problem is that you're eating TOO MUCH HEALTHY FOOD :)

Bon Appetit,

Hi Friends!

I'm launching a new business and I'm finally ready to COME OUT and tell you about it.  Click over to my "THRIVE with Shelf Reliance" page to read about my journey.

Let me tell you a few of the reasons I have switched my family to THRIVE foods:

• Cuts dinner prep in HALF (pre-cooked & pre-chopped)
• Tastes DELICIOUS!  My kids LOVE munching on freeze dried fruits, veggies & cheese.  ALL of the nutrition of fresh, without any preservatives or additives!  My husband and I love the high quality, whole food dinners I'm making with THRIVE.
• Eliminates1 shopping trip a month!  WHY OH WHY didn't I discover this 3 years ago with my first newborn?  I reallocated 1/4 of our grocery budget to set up automatic shipments of my food once a month.  
• Eliminate all the moldy, wilted foods in my fridge... I no longer buy celery, sour cream, sliced mushrooms from the grocery store... NOPE... now those foods are always ready to go and have an average 25 year shelf life :)  That 1/4 of our grocery budget that I reallocated, that's how much food the typical family throws away!  So, I'm not spending any extra money, I'm just getting MORE food for my money.

I want you to know about this because from Black Friday through Cyber Monday ALL THRIVE foods and products will be on sale.  ALL!

I know that Thanksgiving can be a busy time and I want to give you a few days to plan your shopping instead of just surprising you on Friday morning!  Every single delicious THRIVE product is on sale.  Cansolidators are 56% off and there is a large selection of emergency supplies that would make great stocking stuffers!

A Few Important Notes:

1. All of these sales are "while supplies last."  It is very likely that Shelf Reliance will sell out of some products before the end of the day on the 26th.  So, I suggest getting your order in as soon as possible.  You may even consider filling your shopping cart now (make sure you are logged in) and then just logging in to pay on Friday morning.  The website will very likely be slow on Friday because of this sale.
   
2. EVERY SINGLE THRIVE Food item is on sale for the lowest price all year!  I will highlight a few of my favorite items over the next few days, but make sure to browse around the site, because EVERYTHING THRIVE is on sale!  NOW is the time to JUMP IN WITH BOTH FEET to get a nice variety of THRIVE foods to incorporate into your new healthy, whole food diet :)
   
3. Email me asap if you have questions.  This is the ONLY time when you can get the same prices on my webstore and through me personally (my party pricing).
