Save Energy And Earn Money With OhmConnect

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place BlogLeave a comment

Have you heard of this site? I just learned about it today and it seems like such an amazing idea and with Earth day just passed this is one more way we can focus on helping out. It’s free to sign up and use and even if your utility company isn’t on their list, like mine, you can still earn money by helping to spread the word.

When I first read about it I really didn’t know what it was. I had been on Pinterest last night and you know how that goes… Well, this morning I got up early and went back to look over a few tabs I had left open on my laptop. The one for OhmConnect was one of the first that I decided to check out. (I’ve also done a little research to make sure this isn’t a scam and from what I’ve seen they aren’t and I’ll post links to some of the articles at the end of this post.)

Here’s a screenshot of just how easy it is:

They have a revolutionary way of helping us to avoid using ‘dirty’ energy and help us to maximize our ‘clean’ energy. Many families use these times to unplug and reconnect, what a great idea! Don’t just take my word for it, go ahead and check it out today!

And here’s those links I promised to other articles that talk about OhmConnect:

Do it for you, not for a partner, event or season…

Do it for you, not for a partner, event or season…

3 years ago, Mordechai was in the jungle in Costa Rica at a retreat with 40 entrepreneurs: workshops, healthy food, lots of nature.

It was over 100 degrees with no air conditioning, and all the guys took off their shirts by the pool — that’s NOT something he ever did.

You see, Mordechai was a successful entrepreneur, but still felt ashamed and disappointed because he was 130 pounds overweight. So, taking off his shirt at the pool? Never.

For more stories like this, join me at The Reclaim Your Body Summit, free and online!

The reason for the retreat was to determine one’s life purpose. So, Mordechai opened up to a retreat facilitator about his hesitation to remove his shirt. She encouraged him to take his shirt off when no one was at the pool to see how I felt. It wasn’t terrible.

She suggested he do the same during his presentation in front of the rest of the attendees.

“&#$ NO!” he said.

He ended his speech by saying, “My entire life growing up, I wanted to make money and lose weight, and now that I’ve had some success in both areas, I still don’t feel the way I thought I would feel.”

He continued, “What I’ve realized: I don’t love and accept myself.”

Then, he took off his shirt. To an incredible and lengthy standing ovation.
Now, losing weight isn’t as easy as taking your shirt off in front of a crowd — in fact, to lose weight and keep it off, you MUST have the right motivation; do it for you, not for a partner, event or season.

Permanent weight loss comes from doing your “inner” work, addressing the wounds, trauma and emotional triggers that keep you eating in ways that make you fat.

At that retreat, Mordechai had finally reclaimed his body.

At The Reclaim Your Body Summit, you’ll learn from others who’ve been overweight and learned how to transform their lives. They’ll bring practical wisdom and powerful tactics for healing, losing weight, keeping it off and feeling good in your body.

Learn how to reclaim control when you attend this free, online event!

Weekend Wrap Up: April 20, 2019

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place BlogLeave a comment

Hey there! It’s been a bit of a crazy week here. Last weekend I had a crazy reaction to some gun cleaner… crazy like I thought I was going to need an ER visit but thankfully a double dose of Zyrtec did the trick. However, after that, I was pretty much useless for a couple of days as I really truly felt like a walking zombie mom. This was truly not something I had expected or planned for so it kind of threw a wrench in my carefully laid out plans.

Sizzlin’ Skillet Steak

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog10 Comments

I know sometimes there are recipes or foods that just kind of stay away from because of one reason or another. Well, steak was one of those for me as they always turned out tough when I cooked them.

Then there might come along a certain someone, aka Mr. Awesome, who really likes his steak. I tried to convince him that I was incapable of cooking a steak but he refused to give up on me. He has made some really great steaks on the grill but I really don’t grill that much anymore either so I wasn’t interested in trying that method.

After a little trial and error and a few burnt steaks, I’ve finally come up with an almost foolproof method that works for me. Now I do use my cast iron skillet for this so I don’t know how well this will work if you use something other than cast iron. These usually turn our about medium-rare so you may need to adjust the cooking times for your preferred level of doneness too.

If you cook the veggies before you cook your steak you get a whole new level of taste. This method usually results in a nice crust too. This is really so good that I’ve even impressed myself with this. Continue reading “Sizzlin’ Skillet Steak” →

Super Easy Power Cooker Potatoes

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog4 Comments

I  know you can pop a potato in the microwave for a quick bite to eat but when you have as many people in your house as we do, everyone seems to want a potato at the same time. The microwave can’t cook them fast enough and the oven seems like it takes forever.

In comes our superhero of the kitchen, our Power Cooker XL, which can whip up some baked potatoes in a hurry. You can cook up a few extra to have on hand for a quick meal or snack during the week or you can also wrap the extras in foil and freeze them for later.
