Crystal's Favorite Things

 Finding True Friends I think finding out who your "people" are is a life long task. It doesn't matter how old you get you are never too old to lose friends or to find out that certain people aren't really in your corner. Once I found out I was having Girl's I knew the dreaded Girl - Friend Drama was coming. I have been through it and even though I am in my 30's I STILL go through it. Sadly, It's something you will never outgrow. No one is perfect and you will come across some not so nice people. I just didn't think we would go through it THIS soon. But I guess 7 and 5 aren't too young for it. My girls are homeschooled and I love that because I can monitor who they hang out with a little more and I can decide who they are friends with. But there are still kids that seem nice and like they are good friends and then they still end up hurting you. It's a little harder when you are raised in a house that doesn't do things the way most people d...

  I Can Do It Myself... I Think.  Are you the type of person that tries to do everything on their own?? Well, I am! I have been that way for as long as I can remember. I Don't know why I am that way. Maybe it comes from being a perfectionist. I know how I want things done and I know that if I do it myself it will be done the way I want it done. Maybe it is because I hate waiting on other people and want things done in my time frame.  Whatever reason I have for wanting to do things myself, It has really become a cause for stress in my life. I am only one person and trying to take everything on is very hard. And tiring! It is hard for me to ask my husband for help with anything. Unless I am in bed sick and even then I won't ask as much as I should. It's not that he won't help cause he doesn't mind. It's just I am so used to not asking for help that I refuse to.  This week I finally realized that there are a lot of things that I need done and I cannot do them all b...

 Hungry Root Have you tried it? What do you think? I recently came across it and I thought it was pretty Genius!! At least for this busy, stay at home mom it is! If you have no idea what this is let me explain it to you. It is a subscription service that delivers once per week. You can cancel at any time or skip a week. I think i will be ordering once every two weeks. So it's not just any regular meal plan subscription. They send you ingredients for a few meals ( you can choose how many you want per week) along with the instructions on how to prepare, They also send you some ready to to eat meals that you just heat up and eat. Super Convenient! The best part is they send Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner!  Oh, And Snacks!!  Now what makes them different than a regular meal plan box is they also send groceries! Like fruits, veggies, breads, etc. So that means less trips to the store! Since 2020, I think the number of people that do not like going to the store has increased drast...
