Thank you soooo much to everyone for your kind and encouraging words after I was a little bit vulnerable in my "for everything there is a season" email last month.  I read every response and my heart was touched by how understanding and supportive you all were.

So today is a big day for me, all seven kids went back to school and I have a few minutes to breathe and reflect and think about all I hope to accomplish this week, this month, and this year.  I'm going to share a few fun things coming up with you today ... but first here is a fun collage of all my grade school kiddos going back to school (the oldest went to college and we didn't get to snap a pic of her. Boo.)

Thrive Life Back-to-School Sale

Thrive is holding a back to school sale this week with some GREAT savings. Prices on EVERYTHING are going up so when you can snag things on sale it's always a good idea.  Plus, I'd rather buy at today's prices than tomorrow's!  The sale runs August 26th-29th so it's coming up here quick!  Click here to preview what's on sale.

A few important things to note about the sale:

• Consultants shop a day early!  Last sale some things sold out before the sale even started for the general public so it's worth it to sign up just to make sure you get the hot items.  (It's only $100 and includes an awesome sample kit of food plus cash back on every future order)  Click here to learn more or sign up now!
• Shrimp is being discontinued.  This may be your last chance to buy it so stock up now!
• Lots of "Limited Time" products will be available.  These items plus the "special offer" items only come in stock once or twice a year so if you don't buy them now you might not be able to get them for a long time.  These WILL sell out fast!
• Milk is 50% off!  This is the biggest discounted item, it WILL sell out and will sell out quickly.  Shop on the first day if you need milk.
• NEW PRODUCTS will be available.  If you haven't heard about the new MEALS you are going to LOVE these.  We featured them in a camping hacks class if you want to learn more about them and see one cooked live.  Click here to view the replay.
• Set up your delivery service.  The discounted prices are available with FREE SHIPPING on orders over $100 by shopping through the delivery service.  This is a monthly auto-ship program but you can pause, skip a month, or cancel at any time.  It's THE BEST way to shop for Thrive!  You can get your order ready and set your delivery date for the first day of the sale so that it will process as soon as the sale starts!  (Aug. 25th for consultants, Aug. 26th for everyone else)
• Get notified when the sale is live.  If you want to receive an email when the sale starts, make sure to join my thrive newsletter list. This is for people who are specifically interested in learning about Thrive Life products, sales, recipes, etc.

2022 Seven Day Challenge

I saved the best for last!  It's approaching the end of August which means our annual SEVEN DAY CHALLENGE is right around the corner.  This is the time of year where we all test our level of preparedness by living through a variety of mock emergencies and discuss each day's scenarios, our success and failures, and lessons learned as a group.  It is great "fun" and I learn something new EVERY year so I hope you'll join me this year on a surprise day in September when the challenge will begin!  

Click here to learn more about the challenge and to sign up for this year's notifications :)  Please note:  if you have participated in the past you will NOT get another confirmation email.
