Simply Poppyseed Dressing

By far this is my go to homemade salad dressing! It is simply devine on any salad! Cobb, autumn salads, or just a simple cucumber and tomato salad. Super easy to make. I double and triple this recipe and store in a quart mason jar. A fun one for your kids too! Have them add all the ingredients, put on the kid and let them shake it up!! For the best flavor, I let chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes! You're welcome in advance! 

Simply Nut Butter Popcorn

It's a family favorite. Made at LEAST once a week for the kids and every time it is like I just pulled out ice cream! Score! I love this recipe because of all of the health benefits the ingredients have. Every ingredient has a purpose and I love how when combined it not only gives you a mouth full of YUMMY, but nutrients for my kiddos...and me ;) 

Super simple 

6 cups popped popcorn 

1/4 organic coconut oil

1/4 nut butter

1/4-1/2 tsp of sea salt(or to taste) 

1/2 tsp vanilla 

2-3 tbsp local raw honey 

Mix ingredients on a low heat until smooth. Drizzle over and enjoy this farm family favorite!! 

PS I have a video over on my health/fitness Facebook page! I explain all the benefits of the ingredients and I had my 2 year along for the shoot! So. Much. Cuteness!! Here are some still shots of the video. Be sure to head over there and LIKE my page :)

Simply Homemade Orange Julius

It may be fall y'all, but here on the ranch it is a blazing 98 degrees!!! Good gracious! This afternoon, I was desperate to cool down and I knew the battle of the "after school snack" was knocking quickly at the door. After picking up the kids down the lane, I needed to make a quick run into our cute little country town for ice and water as we are still waiting test results back on our spring water. I contemplated a quick drive through smoothie for the kids..but you know they are LOADED with sugar. Every once in a while is fun, but with Dad away...I decided to skip the sugar high! I grabbed a couple ingredients at the store for half the price of 5 smoothies and headed back to the ranch. 

This is always a winner with my kids! Plus it is packed with vitamin C, protein and omegas. You can even added some chia or flax seeds for an extra nutrient kick! When we have fresh farm eggs, I'll throw a raw one in too...oh now things are getting real! My Orange Julius is low in sugar AND they beat both  the price and decliousness of the Mall version. Win! Win! Win! 

Gamble's Orange Julius

Blend, throw in a mason jar with a straw and ENJOY!

✨Life by Design is designed by YOU.✨

How MUCH can change in a year! I'm 36 today and let me tell you I've done and accomplished and caught MORE dreams in the past 10 months-than my entire LIFE! 

10 months ago I took a crazy, out of the ordinary leap of {FAITH}. 10 months ago, I was desperate for things to change, depressed and dying inside...barely breathing. You see, I know what it feels like to have anxiety when checking out of the grocery store. Wondering how we would pay our bills. Buying sale racks and secondhand and only enough to get by, not to {THRIVE} My husband has always worked out of town because what he does, well he can not do it here. 80% of the year-he was GONE!  He sacrificed ALOT to get where he is today. And the jobs he took locally as he worked hard to establish himself,  he was underpaid and overworked. He is the hardest working man I know and made sure we were taken care of...even though he was just as exhausted as I was.   I stayed home with the kids, homeschooled,  ran our farm, helped with our ministry and was barely surviving...but I did it because I am a {FIGHTER}. 

---------------------------------------------

A {KNOCK} on a door came, an {OPPORTUNITY} to change my circumstances and help give {FREEDOM} to our family. For us to passionately pursue our dreams, keep my husband home more to focus on catching our {DREAM} and allow me to stay at home with the kids, not sacrificing the most beautiful calling of my life-being a wife and Mama to our 5 children. So I {JUMPED}. Nothing else was working and I was desperate enough to try anything. I gave it all I had. I worked {HARD} because nothing in life is free and I learned if I wanted to change my circumstances, I had to stop whining about them and DO something. Even if it was hard. Even when I wanted to quit. Even when I got raised eyebrows. Even when the only person who praised me was my husband. Even when I failed...I KEPT GOING! 

---------------------------------------------

In just 2 months I was able to buy my {DREAM CAR} A safe family SUV for my family to enjoy. Sure beats that farm truck we all squeezed into for 6 months. We sold our family car to be debt free. Sacrifice. In 4 months, I was able to quadruple my income and was earning trips, gifts, recognition and building a Team of IGNITERS that all had the same drive, determination,  motivation and  passion as me. Building {FAMILY} and {COMMUNITY} as we help hundreds of people discovery all they were created to be! Championing and encouraging others. Not to mention get in the best shape of my life. 10 months later still increasing income and the BEST part...our family was able to {CATCH OUR DREAM} because my husband could stay home and focus on our ranch. And my husband working out of town has RADICALLY shifted and he now stays HOME 80% of the year🙌🏻😭🙌🏻 We worked as a {TEAM} and went for it. I want to HELP others catch their dreams!! I want to show others there is MORE than enough and that catching dreams isn't just a far off wish. I want to see others empowered and know they have EVERYTHING in them to change their circumstances! 

---------------------------------------------------

So today, I am still a wife of a hero🇺🇸Mama to 5 amazing kiddos👦🏻👧🏻👦🏻👦🏻👶🏻 but I have {LIFE} seeping from me. I have {JOY} I am {HELPING} people. I am a {LEADER} More than I could have ever imagined. I know what it feels like to have life not working out, struggling to put food on the table, questioning WHERE is God and WHAT are we going to do. I get it. We ALL have a story. But I'm here to offer YOU something I was offered...a {CHANCE} to write your OWN story to FIND your story. To create life by {DESIGN} to experience {FREEDOM and PURPOSE}. An opportunity for you to CATCH your DREAMS. 

✨If you are passionate, motivated and driven and love helping people.

✨If you have always heard a gentle but strong whisper in your ear that there is MORE for you.

✨If you are ready to stop wishing but ready start CATCHING your dreams...

I'd love to share more.

Simply Courage

You might not be able to {SEE} what is in front of you. It might {FEEL} scary. But these are the {MOMENTS} when your dreams have to be bigger than your fears. It is what holds back 95% of people from catching their dreams. You WILL fail. You WILL feel terrified. But once you start believing in yourself and take that first step of {COURAGE} before you know it you will be running and NOTHING can hold you back! Take that step! I PROMISE-it is worth it❤️

Simply hard...

Sometimes when the reality of pioneering a ranch hits me straight in the face like a steel shovel, and my heart aches for normal, and wifi, and a landline phone, and a bathroom bigger than half a normal closet, and not having to load 7 people up on a four wheeler to go the top of the mountain for a normal shower just to find out you are out of propane and you have to take a cold shower with kids SCREAMING, and your refrigerator the size of a dorm refrigerator that was just filled for the 3 days you can fill it with-stops working, and the never ending ranch dirt, and county's making everything nearly impossible, and......need I go on. 

I sit in the parking lot of my little country town, with my new escalade filled with 5 gas cans I need to fill up with gas and take back to the ranch and I steal their wifi and check in with my challengers and eat a Twix and CRY.

Why?!? Cause {DREAM CATCHING} is freaking hard work and most days I just want to quit and complain and quit again for NORMAL. I want to curl up in a fetal position and protest "NO MORE" to my husband...and then it hits hard. That steal shovel again, right across my face. 

Failure is inevitable, quiting is my choice.  

I begin to grab back core of me, that deep down strength. The one that has gotten me through the past 10 years of fighting and failure and forging towards our dreams. 

One day-when I am sitting in my little farm house and we are training missionaries from around the world...I KNOW it will be worth it. So I fix my eyes on the GOAL-not my circumstances-cause man it is easy to plant yourself as the victim. 

Brush it off, Jen! You've got work to do.
