If I could go back in time, just for a day or two, I would go back here. When both my girls fit on the same seat and gladly shared their days and ring pops. This was a magical, happy time in a home we all adored.

June is in our rear view mirror and it’s time to welcome in July! If your family is anything like ours (and I’m betting it is), you have several outdoor BBQ’s, picnics and celebrations to host and attend, starting with a biggie: 4th of July!
Make your life a little easier by whipping up one of Suddenly Salad’s yummy Pasta Salads.
My Mom used to make the Classic Pasta salad, which is still one of my favorites, but recently I made their Bacon & Ranch salad. It was a hit with my family members who love Ranch on anything.

I’ve been catching up on my cleaning this week. First I got
into my closet and let go of a serious amount of clothing I am never going to
wear again. Not all these bags came from my closet, just the big bags.

Good news: lots of the clothes were too big or just didn’t
hang right on my body now.
Bad news: I still have bins of cute, classy clothes I can’t
fit in. I sigh as I write this because I know the solution is simple: eat
smart, move more. But, I am a blogger and
home office administrator who sits to work.
BUT, I am also a homemaker who loves a neat, clean home. The
solution, or at least part of the solution for me getting into those cute
clothes is to clean more, sit less.
I set this in motion right away, planning wahm that I am, by
giving my floors a good scrubbing.
No Swiffer action here, no ma’am.
I’m talking old school, double sweep, double mop with
bucket, ringing out the Lemon Lysol water type scrubbing. I even
cleaned the baseboards while I was at it. That’s a perk of mopping floors
old-school, you get clean baseboards too.
By the time I’d completed the kitchen, foyer and three baths
I was sweaty. No lie. Like I’d completed
a good fast walk. Clean floors, good smelling house and I broke a sweat?
Win!

| My clean kitchen floor. Bare feet bliss. |
I felt so good about it; I had to check how many calories
and hour or so of scrubbing floors burned. According to Fitness Magazine, I burned 112 calories per 30
minutes. I worked for about an hour, so my total would be 224!
Next time I’m feeling bad because I didn’t work out, I’m
going to get up and clean something!
How about you?
Do you count household chores towards your fitness goals?

How does Zaycon Foods provide such high quality super fresh meat and produce to its customers at such low prices? The answer is strength in numbers. And not our numbers, yours!
Zaycon Foods can sell its products at bulk rate prices to individual consumers and families because our unique sales event business model brings lots of people together, adding all their purchasing power into a combined bulk food purchase. And when you buy as part of a group that’s committing to such a large purchase, the power is in the hands of the purchaser! It’s the ultimate group buy in terms of both price and consumer empowerment.
How It Works:
How It Works:
You can pre-select exactly what you want to order from a given Zaycon sales event – sometimes you may want to stock up on our amazing meaty back ribs and sometimes it might be all about the Zaycon bacon – and then, on the day of the sales event, you and a whole big bunch of your neighbors will find yourselves in a nearby parking lot watching as an entire tractor trailer’s worth of high quality natural food is unloaded into all of your cars.
You will be amazed at how quickly one of our refrigerated trucks goes from being filled with natural, fresh chicken or hundreds of gallons of grade A non-homogenized milk to being empty and back on its way to the farm.
Short Wait time:
A Zaycon Foods truck sales event often lasts less time than you would spend on a trip to the grocery store, yet you will leave with a whole lot more food than you’d get at the market, and for much better prices, too!

Short Wait time:
A Zaycon Foods truck sales event often lasts less time than you would spend on a trip to the grocery store, yet you will leave with a whole lot more food than you’d get at the market, and for much better prices, too!
When you use the Zaycon Foods sales event as your preferred place to purchase meats, milk, and any of our other fine products, you get advantages even beyond the bulk pricing that comes with our special sales model. You also have the peace of mind of knowing exactly what you’re going to get! A trip to the grocery store can involve wasted time wandering around looking for various foods spread out across the store; at a Zaycon Foods parking lot meat truck delivery (or milk or berries or fish delivery, too!) you have pre-ordered your foods, so all you have to do is show up and wait for our friendly staffers and volunteers to load up your car.
Pricing:
Pricing:
Unlike in the grocery store, the prices you will pay for a Zaycon Foods product are locked in on our website, so you will know how much you are going to spend before you have committed to a purchase.
At a supermarket, you might pay one price for chicken on one day, and then a higher price on another day. With Zaycon, you decide that you want to order a case of our fresh boneless skinless chicken breasts, you check the price and then you commit to it, knowing that from that moment on, we are committed to getting you your fresh, natural food!
