Life By Design With Stacy

Summer fun is here and you are looking for Family friendly activities to keep the kids busy for the next several weeks.  Graduation parties are currently full swing.  We have 3 this weekend, along with Father’s Day on Sunday and our community’s Strawberry Fest.  It always seems like we adults have plenty of things “to do”, but the kids are already complaining they have “nothing” to do!  Keep reading for some quick ideas to keep your kids moving, your house resembling a house and not a disaster zone, and your stress levels and budget in check!

Graduation Parties

Graduation parties mark a great achievement, whether it be from high school, college or even military training.  All these events are important and recognition of the individual is a must do.  The problem can be for the little ones who get bored easily.  When you are attending summer parties as a family, be sure to have a box or tote of activities that will keep your kids occupied.  Not every location for a graduation party is family friendly, but you can make it that way.

Quick Summer Fun Activities

Quick summer fun activities do not and should not be electronics related.  Think back to what you did as a kid.  One quick activity is to have coloring books and crayons.  The kids can sit quietly while you visit with family and friends, this works especially well when it is extremely hot or rainy outside.  The kids don’t really want to run around, but do need something to do.  You can even show your son or daughter your own colorful creative talent by coloring alongside.  Get the other kids that are moping around to join in and have a coloring contest.

Another item to keep in your vehicle in the summer can be a ball or Frisbee.  It is amazing to watch how creative kids become with such a simple item.  They will even make friends with other kids just because they have something fun to do!  Who knows, maybe an adult or two will join in the fray as well!

Growing up we had various yard games to play.  Long ago lawn darts were popular.  Of course the sharp pointy end was soon deemed dangerous and it was exchanged for a rounded end version.  We also played Bags which are corn or rice filled bean bags that you throw at a wooden ramp with 1 or 3 holes to aim for.  Another game was washers.  Again it was platform, but this one you could stand on and you aimed to get your washers into the 3 different holes trying to get to 21.

Father’s Day Stay-cation Ideas

Take Dad Fishing

Many families are looking for fun activities that is great for all ages.  Here in Minnesota in the Land of 10,000 Lakes we tend to find ourselves on a beach somewhere.  Why not take the family to a fishing dock?  It is a great bonding activity that let’s parents show kids how to keep the hands busy, the mind calm and excitement level high.  Many fishing docks are near known areas where the high energy fish hang out like Sunfish, Bluegills and Crappies.  Fishing poles are relatively inexpensive and be sure to grab a license when you get some minnows or nightcrawlers!

Take a Hike

Another thing you can do is take a hike as a family.  Load the babies into a stroller, grab the dogs and head out for nearby walking paths or parks.  Or load up a cooler with drinks and snacks and check out some of the Parks nearby.  Again here in our area we have many County, Regional and State Parks that are all within a day’s drive.  Take your time with the kids and point out interesting plants, trees or even animals. The summer fun doesn’t have to end either, get our a map or atlas and plan the whole summer around the various places to visit.

You can play a game with the kids and they won’t realize they are learning.  Do the alphabet game or I Spy with the kids while on a walk.  Go down to the water and skip some rocks.  Be sure to point out any potential dangers like Poison Ivy or Oak. We also have to watch out for ticks in our region as Lyme Disease is quite frequent.

Run through the sprinkler

Do you remember the slip n slide or running through a sprinkler as a child?  I sure do!  I remember how if a sprinkler was going in someone’s yard, the whole flock of neighbor kids and dogs were running through it.  While the dads in the neighborhood would be out “watching” us kids sitting in lawn chairs.  The moms would be chattering with a glass of wine and catching up on the latest gossip.  Later snacks would come out, grills would be lit.  Dinner would be burgers and hotdogs with chips and sodas.  The kids would be creating games while darting through the sprinkler. 

Later we would play hide n seek or kick the can.  Everyone was happy.  Everyone was safe.  And everyone’s budgets still intact.

Pool or Lake Fun

Community pools and lakes are always a source of relatively inexpensive fun.  Grab a towel, pack a cooler of beach friendly drinks and snacks and just go experience it.  Make it a full day with a picnic.  Be sure to take pictures of the different events like burying Dad in the sand up to his neck, building a sand castle or moat. Maybe even trying to do handstands or flips in the water.  Don’t just sit on the towel, interact with the kids.  Be a kid!

Creating Memories

Some of my favorite memories are spent just hanging with my parents.  Heading out to Bray Park in Madison Lake to swim or fish from shore, going camping when it was just the four of us and the dog.  Well, camping, that is an activity that all families need to experience more than once as a family.  Even if you are a person who prefers the hotels to a tent, you need to give it a shot.  The experiences you gain and lifetime memories that you create are usually the simplest events.

Whatever it is you do with your family this Father’s Day, remember the priority is in making memories, not the shirt or tie you gave Dad.  Cherish the time you spend with your Dad.

The Importance of City Celebrations

City celebrations have been going on for generations and most times it is budget-friendly and family friendly summer fun.  Everybody likes to have a good time.  We all like to party.  The world needs more celebrating and getting along rather than always arguing that the others’ opinions are wrong.  Agree to disagree, move on, grab a glass of wine and toast the newfound friendships and the lasting longtime friends.  Here in Minnesota, summer doesn’t last a long time and we need all the summer fun we can get!

In conclusion, if you knew what I already know, you would get started today.

My Story

I joined this program in November 2017 while I working a Full-Time job. Why would I even WANT to build my own business when I am gainfully employed? After being at my job for 27 years, I created the ability to walkaway from that comfortable box. I am now and have been since June 1, 2020, a work from home person (or where ever there is internet). I never realized that I wanted something more until a specific set of happenings occurred in our lives. That string of events allowed me to be where I was most needed, at home and available to care for my mother-in-law.

At my previous job I had hit that proverbial ceiling. The male bosses have determined that I don’t have enough experience to handle a higher position in the company. However I also have a ton of knowledge about the products we manufacture. Also I understand our customers and how they need to be handled as well as customer portals that require training in order to use. Some feel I am irreplaceable.

Working from home vs exchanging my time for pay

I have now for the past several years received a whopping 2 percent raise. Some may say that I should be satisfied. That may be true since we have health insurance, 401K, holiday and sick leave. However I work long hours on a salary which means no overtime. What are my hours? How about 6:30 am to 4 pm, Monday thru Friday. I also was driving 25 miles one way to work. In Minnesota, that can mean either a 30 minute commute or up to 3 hours depending on the season and whether there are any accidents.

Now with doing this, I set my schedule. I put the non-negotiables in to my planner every week & month. Then I schedule the rest of my day around it. By treating this with respect and as a true business, I am one of our upper level instructors. I work with others to learn the same system I learned to help them gain freedoms – time & financial. Are you ready? What are you waiting for?

What am I doing now? Working from Home Exclusively!

In May 2020, I became a walkaway entrepreneur. In fact, I literally picked up my things and walked out the door and have never looked back. We are now Texans full-time, no Winter Texan here! My husband and I are doing this together and building an amazing Top 10 team in multiple streams of income. Meanwhile we are enjoying being at home, staying available to care for his mom. We would love for you to come join us! We have so many varieties of streams of income!

What are you looking for in a work from home opportunity?

Are you currently looking for a way to expand your budget? Perhaps you are currently at home with your children and want something you can do while the kids are napping or at school. Unemployed and really not wanting to do the interview process. Retired and want some fun money. Or are like me and need to replace my income before quitting my job to be able to work from home.

If you are ready for something different, let’s talk. You can reach out to me via email at prosperinggoals@gmail.com. Then we can set up a time that works for both of us and I can answer your questions and help you move forward with what all we have here. You will NOT find anything remotely similar because no one offers the kind of training and instruction like we have. We have dedicated instructors who are there for you for the long haul

No Matter the reason You NEED to be on this call!

Let me help you live your Dreams!

VisionBoards are being worked on all over the world.  Some may call them Dream Boards.  2021 is here, have you ever created a Dream Board?  How much thought and planning should you put into your boards?  From my perspective, the more the better

VisionBoards = Bringing Empowerment Forward

I started my VisionBoard this week.  I have done them in the past, but always with a group or team of like-minded people.  We were given a limited amount of time and had to scour magazines that were brought in by everyone for “just the right picture”.  No real instructions were given except to “Dream Big”.

So how do you prepare for creating VisionBoards?

Although it is relatively simple, there are some steps you want to follow so you don’t overthink or stress out over it.  You can easily work on it with friends or your team, but don’t put too many restrictions on it.  Just keep everything flowing smoothly.

You will want to think about what you want to accomplish this year.  Set some achievable goals, but also, put some out there that are outside the box.  Ones that will push you to your limits and then some.  Do NOT let others tell you their opinion of your dreams and goals.  You may want to get your spouse, significant other or even your children involved as far as ideas.  Make it FUN!!

My Starting Point

Some items you may want to gather ahead of time are magazines, pictures – if digital, be sure to print them out.  If you are do scrapbooking, bring out those supplies too.  Be sure to have a large poster paper, I used a 22″ x 28″ sheet of paper for mine.  I also have my 2021 planner because every goal needs a due date; my journal because I am reading a book on manifestation and many of my 2021 Goals & Dreams are listed there.  In fact, one year I did my VisionBoard using Post-It Notes. That way as I achieved what I had written down, I could just remove it from the board as a sense of accomplishment.

Be sure to have an area that can be left as is, in case you do not finish it the first day.  VisionBoards should be complex in that you don’t just want to throw it together.  Take it seriously.  While working on it, keep distractions to a minimum.  If you feel overwhelmed, take a break.  Go meditate, clear your mind, do a quick household chore.  What ever helps you.

A great resource is the internet

Seriously!  Go out and google for Dream boards or VisionBoards.  There are many resources, you can find some great ideas on Pinterest and YouTube too.  If you don’t have a lot of magazines lying around the house, Google Images is a must.  There are literally thousands of images for every single subject.  Including specific brands of whatever it may be that is on your list of Goals and Dreams.  Not creative?  This will be a Godsend to you!  Trust me!  Many of my items are NOT necessarily in magazines because they are so outside the box.

When you go to “snag” a picture, let me encourage you to get more creative and original an utilize a program called Canva. You can have so much fun creating your own pictures using this and the best thing is it is free to use.  Trust me when I say it will save you a lot of headaches later when trying to print it out.  If you are going to do this method, be sure you have a sufficient supply of colored ink.  Another recommendation, do not use Black and White pictures as you want to be able to continuously visualize each goal or dream.

Some Examples of other Dreamboards. Note the different sizes and ways to create. There is no wrong way, just do it!

Why should you do a VisionBoard?

As Benjamin Franklin put it simply, if you fail to plan, you are planning to fail.  This holds true for everything, every goal you want to achieve, whether it is to buy a new house, change jobs, EVERYTHING!

When you want to buy a new house, don’t you need to make sure your finances are in good shape?  If they are not, do you not have to then work to get them improved?  How do you PLAN to do it?  Just jump in and start flinging paperwork? No, you get a credit report and see what is not looking good and then you plan to write letters of explanation.

The next step in buying a house, figuring on a neighborhood.  Are you just going to visit a house and not get any background on the City or Neighborhood?  How about what you want in a house?  Get specific.  Write it all down.  Is it somewhat overwhelming?  Maybe.  Is it exciting? Definitely!  How fun is it to dream your dream house?  To ask for everything you want in a Home.  If you put it in writing, your search will be smoother because the realtor will know just what to look for.

Final Wrap Up

Now, why do a VisionBoard?  Because even the smallest goals are significant and deserve the attention of planning to have it achieved.  Are you hoping to lose a few pounds?  Be sure to not only write down the amount you want to lose or your goal weight, but also the date you want to achieve it.  Maybe look for a picture of a scale that you can write the information on.

Whatever you put down is going to be for YOU.  Not your parents who dictate your every move in life.  Have I completed my VisionBoard yet?  My goal is to finish it this weekend.  I know what I am looking for and will need to purchase some more ink in order to get those images in print.  I wish you the best of luck in completing your VisionBoard.
