takin’ care of business

I am finally really back on track with my health, eating and working out. It feels so good. I’m still “only” down 30 pounds, but I know as I do the right things, the weight will keep coming off. I got my first email from one of the gals who started to use Xyng a couple days ago. She has lost 3 pounds so far and is feeling so good. That makes me happy!

I just wanted to let you guys know that I’ll be sharing my little story tonight about my journey so far using the metabolism boosting health supplements on a phone call you are welcome to listen in on! My homeschooling friend Carrie who introduced me to Xyngular will lead the call and help anyone who listens in understand more about what the products are, how they work and how you can get them at wholesale cost.

If you want to call up tonight (Sunday) at 8:30 pm Central and listen in to me and her, please do! Here’s how:

To listen along, just call (559) 546-1200 and enter meeting ID 817-831-873 #

Additionally, to watch the presentation on your computer as you listen on your phone, go to https://www.freescreensharing.com/meetings/817-831-873

All you have to do is listen along and watch. No need to interact if you’re too shy!

Oh, how much fun we’ve been having in my online photography classes so far! Here we are in yesterday’s afternoon class:

PhotoClass2

This is only about half of the people in the class, as not everyone was on the screen (or even had a webcam) at the time. And boy did we have fun! I was a little hyper and weird. Hope they didn’t mind! Hehe.

Most of my classes filled up, so I added more and have been letting people move around at will. Things have settled down now and I thought I’d let the rest of you know about the new dates and what classes still have room in them.

If you are not ready to delve into the Big Camera world yet, check out this deal on a Canon Coolpix. Also, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that Mini Boden (where Small Fry’s colorful dress in the recent photo of her with the pinwheel is from) is having a 60% off sale and offering a free gift this month to new customers! Click here to grab this deal.

Oh! And want to win a $350 William Sonoma gift card!? Just enter this contest by sharing a gluten-free recipe!

Okay, whew! The business stuff is done. And now, back to your regularly scheduled blog. The kids and I are leaving on a journey today. We’ve been busy packing and preparing. They’ll be having overnights and are looking forward to it. I have bankruptcy court with MckDaddy tomorrow, so me and my perfectly normal cholesterol leveled self need to head in that direction.

Deep breath. Have a great rest of your weekend, all.

    Mcmama – I am praing for you and your family. I wanted to ask your many readers for some prayers for my family? On Thursday, March 1st, my only child, my 24 year old son Jonathan Paul Daily, was taken from me when his apartment caught fire. he did not survive. I am so broken and shattered right now – planning a funeral, going thru a difficulot investigation as to what happened and how he died….surreal. Not happening. But it did. I have to believe that he did not suffer and that Jesus swept him up quickly. If your readers could pray for me and my family, we are grieving and so lost in a dark hole right now.

    Thank you – and sorry to use your blog as a forum for my request. I do not blog but I have several blogs that I love and follow (yours being one of them).

    God Bless you and your children – God will pull you thru this, I know he will.

  3. Glad things are working out for you. Can’t wait to hear how your photography classes go. What is a common question everyone has?

  4. Judy says:

    Great song by Jeff and Sheri Easter on youtube- Praise His Name- It will minister to you.

  5. Did your Xyngular call by chance get recorded? I have wanted to come both times, but neither one worked…

  6. cassie says:

    Hey there,

    You may want to update your link to provide accurate information. Canon does not produce the Coolpix Camera.

  7. I sent you am email for the Adobe Lightroom Plus class.

  8. I’ll be thinking of you — wishing you that the meeting goes well. For those situations, I find Bach Rescue Remedy drops are my friend. They work like a charm to calm me down. Good luck!!

    Hope the kids will have a ton of fun.

  9. Krystal says:

    Praying for you this morning!

  10. T says:

    It’s a Nikon Coolpix- not Canon, just FYI!

  11. Joy says:

    May God give you wisdom and favor with the judge. I pray for softened hearts and that you will both feel God’s presence and that you will be one in the spirit again. You would be greatly comforted to read Angie Smith’s blog dated 3-1-12 entitled ” Hush.” Most sincerely, Joy

  12. PK says:

    Praying for strength and whatever else you need for tomorrow.

  13. Michelle Pierson says:

    Why don’t you post negative comments? Are you afraid to deal with the questions?

  14. Donna says:

    Loved the class yesterday and I really need to get a webcam!

  15. Petunia says:

    MckMama—It is wonderful to see that you are able to make a living through
    doing things you love—blogging, photography, etc. Especially knowing that you can do
    most of this while in your home, without leaving your kiddos, another perk to a blogging job.
    It’s not my business nor would I like to hear specifics of your bankruptcy but I just hope you’ll
    examine the idea of bankruptcy when you are bringing in an income. As I said, I am not looking to
    bash your decisions, I just hope that you’ll do the right thing, not only for you
    but for the other people that would be affected by your bankruptcy.
    As I said, I think you have been blessed with the opportunities to make an
    income doing what you love, and I suppose I hope you will “pay it forward”.
    Safe travels

    I see your tweet about hating evenings. I really had hoped you’d watch the video link I posted in response to your “someday” posting. I really think that anybody, in any circumstance would find something encouraging.

    We are told that joy will come in the morning, maybe you can cling to that promise.

  17. BaileyJohnsen says:

    Praying for everything to go smoothly with you and Israel tomorrow. I hope the overnight time spent as a family will perhaps soften his heart and help heal your family. So happy for the kids that they get to see their Daddy! What do you do with the dog and cats while you travel? Do also they travel with you guys?

  18. Kim Wright says:

    I told myself this would be the time that I take one of your classes when you first made the announcement, but when you posted the schedule not one of the SLR basics class times would fit! Really, really not fit…like my son’s state gymnastics competition is the 10th and I teach at our homeschool co-op all day on the 14th. So very bummed am I! Next time definitely. Still praying for you and the kids and Mckdaddy.

  19. you are looking great! I love the pics of you and the kids at the school program! safe travels as you go to court tomorrow. I just got my new camera Nikon D3100 and am looking forward to the class I signed up for as Im not used to a camera this “high class” :) I might call in to the meeting as well tonight as Im very interested (even though Im a demo for a company “it works” which also has natural products including body wraps that takes inches off! have a great weekend!

  20. Kayla says:

    Jennifer, I just have to tell you that your online class yesterday was THE BEST. I am so glad I signed up because I honestly learned a bunch. I loved the setup and how we were able to interact, and you are so fun! :) Thanks! I am excited to take your lightroom basics next!

    Will be praying for you today, and the children too.

  21. cindy says:

    Just be yourself Jennifer…. God brought you to it, He will bring you through it!!!!

    :)

  22. Rebecca says:

    Good Luck tomorrow…. Praying for you and your kiddos as you meet with Israel.

  23. Hillary says:

    Grrr. I can’t imagine how you must feel right now. Bankruptcy court and your hubby all at once. You are so strong and brave! I would be puking by now…

    Prayers for you lady!

    Praying that (and knowing He will) God will go before you, making your path straight. Just do what you need to do. Do not beg, approach him with your grace. You will be fine!
