Truly Grass Fed Natural Sharp Cheddar Oh, I couldn't be more perfect to be hosting this party, I have a strong love of cheese! Yep, that's cheesy right? I partnered up with the Tryazon company and they found a sweet Irish Dairy from Kilkenny, and it was a match made in heaven. Not only is it perfect for my true love of cheese and having parties; it is also because the Truly Grass Fed farm is elevating the standard of the definition of wholesome dairy is. Why? Because I love this great Earth and they do too.  Their back to basics way of farming has been passed down through generations, they practice land preservation and sustainability. How do they do this? They take super great care and have the utmost respect for the cows. They are clean grass grazing cows. 95% of their time is simply spent outside grazing, and when it gets too cold, they are given shelters and they eat grass that was harvested earlier! These cows graze in small herds of only 100 head and they graze

My friend is hosting a party for the fourth of July and she called and asked what can I do really quick to put on my table?  I said go buy something!  LOL😃   You know I did not. I suggested that she make several types of extremely easy crafts. For the purpose of this article, I chose one that I had done in the past, and it is a beginner level easy.👍 I usually decorate my house for all the seasonal holidays and the fourth of July is no exception. There are many ways you can decorate for this theme. Anything that has red, white or blue in it or on it and basically you're set! It does not have to have stars and stripes on it to qualify. I love to have the American flag around, and often times I buy those 10 for $2.00 type handfuls when I see them. These flags are great along a pathway or attached to your mailbox or for use in a tablescape, door wreath or centerpiece.

Cyclo Cobra Wireless Earbuds Review

MaryCaliendoPhoto2019 Here's a quick review of the Cyclo Cobra Wireless Earbuds, and as everyone knows I'm not the world's greatest Tech or electronics guru. As much as I try to stay in the loop, the majority of the time I'll ask someone nearby like a teenager or a husband for help. So anything Bluetooth or wireless in general seemed to be way out of my expertise field, but it appears that my fear prevented me from even trying anything new. So whenever it had a wire attached to it or a book of instructions, I immediately just asked for help.  Over the years as I dabbled more in the technology sector the products became easier and easier to figure out on my own!  How about that?😃 So for this product, I tried to sync it first and ask questions later! The first step charging the earbuds = easy!  Once charged I moved to the second step which was to sync them using Bluetooth to my phone, I turned on Bluetooth and found the name and then it was synced. Again, easy

Staying Kind To Yourself

From My Garden  a Couple of years ago MaryCaliendoPhoto2017 Dashes of beauty found basking in the sun. the flowers do the natural thing they reach higher and higher and they face the source of their growth dead-on; the sun. If we do what our bodies want to do most people would opt for sitting on the couch with a lap filled with carb-ladened goodies. So instead we have to set goals and stay motivated to achieve our true growth. No One Said It Would Be Easy The hardest thing that most of us need, is the last bit of "push" to get us over the hump to stay "with it" (whatever your goals may be).  It does not have to be fitness related. It can be studying as with students, or job-related, like writing a policy for your company or just simply organizing your household; perhaps for a move for some examples.  These types of things can be tedious on our minds, and the mental fatigue transfers to our physical body.
