In your experience, what’s the biggest barrier to buying local, farm-raised beef?

All this talk about flipping the food pyramid reminded me why I stopped listening to it in the first place. Reading The Dorito Effect was a wake-up call. That book exposed the truth: most “food” today isn’t food. It’s engineered garbage designed to hijack your brain, kill your hunger signals, and keep you addicted while your health gets worse. This isn’t a willpower issue. It’s a rigged system. Parents need to say this out loud to their kids: some food is real, and some food is garbage. If we don’t teach them that early, corporations will—and their goal is profit, not your kid’s health. I don’t follow pyramids or guidelines anymore. I eat and raisee real food. Period.

30 days until our first home-raised beef hits the freezer. 🥩 Nothing better than feeding the family food you raised yourself.

Everyone scored new kicks today… except Mom 😅 Broke the bank with a whopping $10 total! Thrifting for the win 🏆👟

Thrift shopping with the kids is wild. One turns the toy section into a post-apocalyptic disaster zone in 30 seconds flat. The other one can reorganizing every car into a perfect single-file line like it’s the most important job in the world.

Thrift store dilemma: Spotted this vintage “Adventures in Microwave Cooking” beauty… should I have grabbed it and committed to trying EVERY recipe? 😱🍖

After picking through over 1,000 items, this is only the second kilt I’ve come across—and it’s a rare 5.11 Tactical Commando Kilt in MultiCam camouflage! 😎 If it were my size, I’d be rocking it at the Highland Games this year, no question. Freedom of movement for the win! 😂 Who else is team tactical kilt?

New year, same investing strategy. Keep accumulating assets. Simple.

Win from last month’s sales! ✨ Found these gorgeous vintage wool pants on Facebook Marketplace and shipped them off to their new home far, far away. Love connecting treasures with people who’ll cherish them! 🛍️📦

Last year, I had a Toyota Yaris sitting in my driveway with two options: sell it or find a way to make money with it. I decided to put it to work. I signed up for Amazon Flex, delivering packages for a few hours at a time. It wasn’t glamorous, but it was flexible and paid decently. Every dollar I earned went straight into dividend stocks. Just the other day, I got a dividend check for over $400. It’s not life-changing money yet, but it’s way better than watching the Yaris collect dust (and depreciate) just kidding Toyota do lose value. I’m going to keep doing Amazon Flex until my dividend income covers all my bills. Slow and steady — turning a idle car into a growing income stream

If you commit to attempting 100 push-ups every day—even if you “fail” some days—you’ll be significantly stronger by the end of 2027. Last year was the first time I truly dedicated myself to one fitness goal: averaging 100 push-ups daily. Hitting 26k for the entire year still feels insane—I never thought I’d rack up that many. Consistency compounds in ways you can’t imagine at the start.

Big win for 2025! 🎉 Last year, our main store sold an incredible 2,771 items! We stayed consistent by listing 5 items every single day — that’s over 1,800 new listings — and made a huge push to clear out old inventory. Now we’ve got a new rule: Any item sitting for 400+ days gets liquidated ASAP. Fresh stock only from here on out! 💪 Grateful for your support — here’s to an even bigger 2026! 🚀

Ready, Aim, 🥳 Happy New Year!

How many packages did we sell in 2025? 🤔(hints below) 🎉 2025 Wrapped! 🎉 We nailed our goal: 5 packages listed every single day → 1,825 for the year! 📦 Cleared out a bunch of dead inventory to the numbers slightly elevated. Here’s to bigger wins in 2026! 🥂

What’s better than Christmas shopping? 🎄 After-Christmas clearance! 💥 Snagged a year’s worth of soap, razors & toothbrushes for pennies! 🧼🪒🦷 Plus (not pictured): Christmas pet bed my son begged for — retail $160, paid $40! 😍🐶 Post-holiday deals are undefeated.

Cold, windy day = kids officially on the eBay team. Task: push all the inventory boxes inside and line ’em up. Low pay, high productivity—beats sitting around indoors!

How to Sell Over 20,000 Items on eBay in 5 Years? The secret is simple: consistency and discipline. For roughly 1,800 days over the past 5 years, we’ve shown up and listed at least 5 quality items every single day. No excuses, no skipping weeks—just steady, daily action. With each listing, we got a little better: • Photos improved • Descriptions became more detailed and keyword-rich • Pricing got sharper based on sold comps • Our workflow sped up (templates, bulk tools, efficient sourcing) It’s not about overnight success or viral listings. It’s compound effort—small daily improvements that add up to massive results over time. If you’re serious about building a high-volume eBay business: • Commit to listing every day (even weekends) • Focus on profitable, in-demand items you can source consistently • Prioritize quality listings that build trust and Top Rated status • Reinvest profits to scale your sourcing and systems Show up, list quality items, and get better every day. The numbers will follow. We’ve sold over 20k items doing exactly that—you can too. 💪

Would you rather it be …. 40 and windy all winter or zero and sunny?
