The person you are today.

Some powerful words here.

Sometimes we get so overwhelmed with our problems that we forget that we are suppose to learn from these struggles.

And I believe most of us do - even if we don't realize it at the time.

If nothing else, they teach us to be strong.
Strong for others.
Strong for ourselves.

Tupperware Sale that is good for one week only

I'm actually liking these 1 week only sales.
They are giving some great deals and things keep moving.
I'm not sure if its because we are celebrating our 70th year of Parties or its the summer or what ... but I'm loving it!

This week is a great back to school option with some pieces that I love

The Impressions bowls are great for so many things ... but we love to use them for salads.
The big bowl is great for green salads, the middle bowl works for our potato salad and the little bowl works great for our macaroni salad.  Now there are only 3 of us at home for most meals now, so if you have a BIG family you might have to change things up a bit, but its a great starting point.

The mini rice maker was a staple for us when my daughter was in college.  
Made some super easy and quick rice that I sometimes still use today.  Especially if its just 1 or 2 for dinner.

The Thirstquake Tumblers are great for those big glasses of iced tea that the summer just asks you to have.

If you are interested in any of these, you can head on over to my Tupperware Site and grab them.  But remember its only available for this week (ends on Friday August 3rd) or while supplies last.

Tupperware Mid July 2018

Have you been wondering what happened to Tupperware posts?
Well you may or may not know how difficult things have been for me this year so I'm doing a restart with the Mid July Tupperware brochure.

If, like me, you LOVE Tupperware Modular Mates .. this is for you.
But you need to hurry because the sale ends July 27th ... so you won't see prices like these again until maybe January!

Now if you are getting ready for school lunches or want to update your own lunches this is the mid month (July) brochure for you.

I love these pieces.  I have the complete set of 5s (the Zero Waste Get it All Set) so that I can do my own portion control meals when I am putting my "planned overs" away.

The Cereal Bowls are great for making overnight oatmeal ... we've been doing that for a while now but the Big Wonder bowls are good too.

You can check out all of these and so much more on my Tupperware Site.

If you have questions...just ask.

Who isn't thinking?

I have again been thinking that I haven't done a post in a while so when I opened a book to start reading for a review and saw this quote that is attributed to George S Patton

If everyone is thinking alike, 

then somebody isn't thinking

I thought yes this is definitely something to write about.

While I haven't been blogging, I have been checking on friends/acquaintances on Facebook.
Now that could be a real problem, or a big eye opener.

Have you been looking at your social media page or pages and wondering what happened?
I know I have.

I am seeing friends turn on each other.
I've heard of friends - real friends, in "real" life, turn on each other so badly that they will no longer speak or even go to the same functions. 

What has happened to us?
And please don't just say "Trump".  
He is NOT the problem.

Something else is going on.
Is it because we no longer think for ourselves?
Are we puppets?
Are we just "following the crowd"?

When did we become so entitled that WE are the ONLY ones that can have an opinion?  And if someone else has an opinion that is not exactly the same as ours THEY are WRONG.

Can we please stop yelling at each other, stop yelling over top of each other and LISTEN, HEAR and THINK?

Please stop with the entitled mindset.  
Please stop taking single comments from people, and I am talking about Congresspeople, Actors, Actresses, Teachers, or your Friends and Neighbors as Gospel.

THINK about what was said.
RESEARCH about what was said.

Make your OWN opinion about what was said.

Let's stop the circle of "the Squeaky Wheel" gets the attention and gets to make everyone do what THEY WANT.  Somehow that just strikes me as giving in.  Becoming a narrow minded person.  And quite frankly reminds me of how people in some other countries were described when I was in grade school.

We have been given the FREEDOM to THINK for ourselves and to express those thoughts without fear.
STOP giving away that FREEDOM that was given to you by extremely passionate and important people ... VETS.  
Many of whom gave the ultimate, their lives, to give you that FREEDOM.

So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE 
Honor those who have given us that right and START THINKING for yourself and STOP following the crowd.
