Friday FIVE for 11.11.22
ONE. Naked Nutrition Protein
Specifically, Naked Nutrition protein for breakfast shakes. There are many flavor options, but … You guys I am NOT kidding when I say the Lemon Blueberry Muffin is my ALL-TIME favorite. Ever. So much so that I subscribed so I would not run out. This worked for awhile (see image) but, sadly … I did not realize Lemon Blueberry Muffin was a limited (seasonal) edition. I did not know the reason my sub kept telling me your product is out of stock. Now that I know , I am going to assume good things and order the Pumpkin Spice and Strawberry Banana flavors and then get back to you.
3 reasons I LOVE this stuff so much …
#1 because it’s sweetened with coconut sugar.
#2 because it’s low carb (8 grams per serving) and it’s delicious.
#3 because there are ZERO other additives or ingredients. None.
TWO. 1440 News
Overwhelmed by opinion disguised as fact and relentless clickbait?
Me too.
Until, I discovered the daily email from 1440 that provides an impartial view of what’s happening in the world so intelligent people like you and me can form their own conclusions. 1440 scours hundreds of sources each day to deliver a single “morning briefing” thoughtfully curated and sourced.
I love it so much.
Now it takes me 5 to 15 minutes to read the news and their weekend edition is super FUN too!
There are no stupid pop-ups or distracting ads, just concise information and lots of links that I can follow for personal follow-up. There is a sponsor for each newsletter and on at least three separate occasions I have purchased products through these sponsors because I desperately want to support 1440.
The extra FUN part?
1440 is so named because the printing press was invented in the year 1440 AND because there are 1440 minutes in each day, fewer of which are now wasted trying to find a reputable and trustworthy story.

NOTE: When I grabbed the image above there were 700,000 readers and now there are over 2 million. Somebody is doing something right!
THREE. Mural Mosaic
Calling all patriots, homeschool moms, history buffs or anyone who loves a purposeful gift that combines play with learning. How cool is this Mural Mosaic sticker of the US flag that (naturally) features 50 squares noting historical highlights. People come up with the most amazing things AND if you want to learn more about this company and the concept of mural mosaics, this is a great place to start!
FOUR. Flag Stories
And, speaking of flags … This is one of the coolest things I’ve seen a very long time. It’s called Flag Stories and it’s a project by Ferdio, an infographic agency. Essentially they broke down the elements of every flag in the world and then analyzed them in so many different ways. This approach to SEEING and understanding our world appeals to my visual nature on so many levels—plus, it’s colorful! I would buy a poster of most of these graphics. I sincerely hope you’ll click on the link and do some exploring. Just for Flag FUN!
FIVE. Teach Sunday school
At church I am a volunteer teacher for a high school seminary class. I serve in this capacity with 3 other women, so it’s not too heavy—I shadow and teach just once (sometimes twice) a week. In 2022 we’re studying The Old Testament and in 2023, our focus will be on The New Testament. I just had to share this super cool periodic table that organizes all the books in the Bible by type/purpose. How clever! On this version of the familiar periodic table, each book is an “element” and notes the title, the author, and the date or time period when the book was written. If I was you, I was definitely check out this Bible Bookplate Sticker and everything else from the folks at Teach Sunday school.
What a FUN stocking stuffer for your favorite student of scripture!
That’s it for now.
Leave me a comment and share which of my picks in your favorite—or share something you’re into right now!
p.s. Thanks to ALL our 🇺🇸 Veterans for their sacrifice and service.
