Share Your New Year’s Resolutions

Resolutions just don’t last more than a week for me. Instead I like to try to just make small changes in my life that I know I can do. Which if you think about it, is probably the same as a resolution. It’s just the way I think about it. If I think of it differently I can make the change, a gradual change instead of a cold turkey change. Does that make sense because I’m getting funny looks from my husband as I write this post.

My Goal for next year is to get to know people at church. You may not believe this but I have severe social anxiety and being around people is really hard. Going on blog trips for 3 years now has helped me a lot, but even blog trips the numbers are usually small so it’s just like a small group of friends getting together so it’s a lot easier. Plus they are usually fun. I’m not saying church isn’t fun, I really like going to our new church. It’s my favorite church ever, but I’ve still had a hard time getting to know people because I feel so anxious.

I’ve been attending for a year and a half and I still don’t know very many people. My husband and I have started by getting a little more involved. Putting yourself out there is the only way to meet people right? Plus my kids would live up at the church if I let them. They ask to go to church every day, I never liked church that much. So that’s my main plan for 2012. My Blog Goals I would love to increase my numbers and stay active in the blogging community. That would make me really happy! Oh and get a sponsorship to BlogHer that would be nice too!

I just bought some for the kids and had a hard time deciding which juice beverage to get. The Lemonade looked so refreshing, but I ended up getting the Pomegranate Blueberry juice beverage. Yum!.

Using Tropicana Juicy Rewards for a MOMS Club Donation

Juicy Insider1My MOMS club has a luncheon every year and it isn’t until November but I start collecting donations fairly early in the year. I’m not sure what the theme for our luncheon is yet but I know a little about what I’m putting together as a giveaway. I’m collecting DS and Wii games to use as our gift basket this year.

I’ve been thinking about what I wanted to use the 50.00 on that Tropicana sent me to use on their rewards program. I have finally made a decision on what I want to purchase.

By using 3 points I can receive 10.00 off of the game purchase of an EA Sports Active. I know that will make a great addition to the gift basket because exercise is so important to moms and as far as I have seen EA has done a great job on their active games for the Wii.

The Discount:

Trop50 Juice Review with Juicy Rewards

I am on of the Juicy Rewards Tropicana Ambassadors and I’m so excited to be a part of the program. Tropicana sent me their two new flavors of Trop50 juice to try, Pomegranate Blueberry and Pineapple Mango. Tropicana recently added these new flavors to the Trop50 line of reduced-sugar and calorie juice beverages. At 50 calories, each eight-ounce glass of these new Trop50 flavors squeezes in a full day’s supply of vitamin C and 10 percent of the daily recommended value of antioxidant vitamin E. In addition to all that the Pineapple Mango flavor provides a good source of potassium.

 

Trop50

It is so difficult to find a juice to give to my kids. They are all so filled with sugar that it just drives me crazy. I gave them both the Pomegranate Blueberry juice and still watered it down and they drank it up. I would say juice is juice and kids are going to drink it no matter what but that isn’t true. We have tried juice with less sugar before and the results were disastrous. We could not water it down and for the price it wasn’t worth it. This stuff, the Trop50 is great because I can water it down or not water it down and not feel guilty about giving it to the kids. Not to mention that both flavors I tried taste great. The Pomegranate Blueberry is sour and addicting, but not as addicting as the Pineapple Mango. I love Pineapple juice and it is just as good with Mango in it. Yum!

Being a Tropicana Juicy Rewards Ambassador I had to make sure that I took advantage of the reward points that were on the carton. You can get six points per carton.
