Rise and Shine is my way of starting the day with you – almost as if we’re chatting over a hot cup of coffee or tea! I share my favorite deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help you save time, money or energy. Published in the morning on Monday through Friday – as I’m able.
Good morning! Brrr! It’s cold here this morning. It’s a brisk 6 degrees but with a nasty north wind there is a windchill warning of of -11 degrees. Growing up in Alaska I know this isn’t as bad as it gets – but it sure is chilly. And we so rarely had wind in Fairbanks (Alaska) that I’m a total baby when it comes to the windchill. It makes me want to stay in bed all morning under a pile of blankets! But this means the skies are clear and it’s going to be a deliciously sunny day and I’m looking forward to that.
Yesterday was my first day with the kids and Mr. Queen Bee back at school and work. The kids came home from school and exclaimed how clean the house was. It’s because no one was home all day except for me! 🙂 Ha! It’s so easy to keep the house clean when we don’t live in it during the day, LOL. Can you relate?!
With the weather being extra chilly today, I think I’ll make up a batch of my grandma’s rolls and a batch of quinoa chicken chili in the crockpot. You probably get tired of me sharing the chili recipe – but I make it a lot because it’s so easy and full of protein! I also love it because I can pull the chicken from the freezer and usually have everything else in my pantry – so it’s an easy meal when the fridge is on the bare side – and I need to get to the grocery store, soon! Of course I love other ideas for the crockpot, too – tell me your favorites! What’s for dinner at your place tonight?
For those of you following my LuLaRoe shop, I just rolled out an album sale last night! An album sale is when I post photos of items in my inventory that are for sale. You can comment on the photos to claim items. I invoice you and ship your items to you! You can join my LuLaRoe group here to see the sale.
And speaking of sales, Nordstrom is killing it with their discounts in the last 24 hours. They have nearly 2000 items marked down 60% off or more. I like to sort low-to-high first and then I’ll sort by categories (using the menu options on the left). They have a TON of women’s shoes on sale. A lot of high-end stuff that ends up being regular price (ha!) after the 60% off. . . . great for those of you who like those brands but don’t want to pay those steep prices. They also have a lot of holiday decorations, which are always nice to buy on sale for the following year.
Speaking of holiday decorations. . . where have been your favorite places to get holiday clearance items? I stopped into Kohl’s on Sunday and didn’t see much (70% off) and stopped into Pier 1 and found a few ornaments that I liked (75% off), but I’d love to hear from y’all about where you’re finding the best after-holiday clearance deals!

Have photos from the holidays? Let me tell you about Chat Books! I ordered my first set of Chat Books a few weeks ago and I love them! They make small photo books of your social media accounts – like Instagram or Facebook. There is no tedious design or formatting needed like you might have with an official “photo book”. In fact, I created 14 Chat Books from our Airstream travels using my Instagram photos in . . .2 minutes. I’m not kidding – so easy. I was feeling so guilty I hadn’t created photo books from our travels yet – but I just haven’t had time. And this – didn’t require time. I love it. Each page has one of my Instagram photos, the location it was taken and my caption. There are 60 pages per book. Each book is $8 and they offer free shipping. BUT you can get your first book for FREE by going through this link (it’s my referral link) and you should also be able to select free shipping!
