I’m excited to announce I’ll be participating in a teleclass with Laura Lavigne. You may remember, Laura invited me to be on her blogtalkradio show, "Chez Laura" back in January….
Laura is an author and speaker. Her main area of expertise is simplifying. Simplifying your life, getting rid of clutter, physical clutter, mental clutter, schedule clutter, etc.
I NEED her. :)
As someone who routinely overbooks and has her hands in so many projects sometimes I CRAVE simplicity. It’s why I took the huge step of leaving my job. I just had too much STUFF going on in my life. I mean, I still do and in a way I want it. I love what I do and I want to keep doing it but there have been times where I’ve been completely overwhelmed. My house would be in disarray (remember these pictures), my calender would be a mess (if I was keeping one), even my computer was a disaster! It would be so disorganized I couldn’t find anything. That’s just not a fun way to live.
I’m happy to say I’m getting better.
SLOWLY.
Like everything, it takes practice and change does not happen overnight. I keep sane by doing what I can when I can and surprisingly, things get accomplished!
When Laura asked if I’d be interested in her Lighten Up! course it intrigued me. She was inquiring if I was interested in teaching it with her but I was more interested in actually taking it! So we decided to try something new. Laura will be running the course and I’ll be providing insight into one specific area, diet and food clutter. For the rest of the course I’ll be more of a student or teachers aide if you will. Learning, sharing and providing my insight and experiences.
This is new to me on many level. For starters, I’ve never taken a teleclass and honestly, I didn’t even know they were still around! I’m fascinated by this way to communicate and share information and I’m curious how it works. Maybe it’s something I’ll be able to offer in the future. Who knows? It could be fun!
If you are interested in trying it with out with me click here to register. The Lighten Up! 101 course is free and there is no obligation to sign up for any additional courses. There are 2 scheduled classes to choose from, one just a week from now…
- Tuesday, Sept 7 9PM ET
- Saturday, Sept 25 2PM ET
Laura is offering a CD of my interview and a $50 coupon off the full 5 week course for the first 50 people that sign up. Oh! And if you are a facebook fan, she just started a fan page for the course where she is already sharing some great info!
So be honest, am I the only teleclass newbie out there? Have you taken one? Love it? Hate it? I’m curious! I only have a week to figure it all out!

What's Cooking in my kitchen?

Finally my first Farro idea! I have to say, I love this stuff! It's chewy and yummy and, well, fun! I tossed it with what I could find in my pantry and it made a wonderfully satisfying lunch. Filling but not heavy, tasty and quite nutrient dense. According to NutritionData.com this [...] -
I've seen it mentioned in a few of my clean eating and healthy cook books but honestly, I never even thought of Farro as an option for me. I refuse to shop at specialty stores and I try to use only common products that I can keep in stock and purchase from a typical grocery [...] -
I've never had a tuna melt. Is that weird? I guess that's what happens when you grow up not liking mayonnaise. I never ate tuna salad or egg salad or chicken salad. Honestly, they always kind of grossed me out. Then I realized.. hey.. why does tuna salad have [...] -
I have no idea where this idea came from. I was hungry. It was lunch. I had Brussels Sprouts. That was all the catalyst I needed.:) I decided to use a slice of real bacon to add flavor and little fat that would help sauté the sprouts. I'm trying [...] -
WOW was this good. I mean seriously good. It's not vegetarian so don't start throwing stones. I'm calling it a Garden Vegetable Burger because I use the new Laughing Cow Smooth Sensations Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese Spread. It was this recipe on Allrecipes.com that inspired [...] -
I drink water 99.9% of the time but every so often it just doesn't cut it. I want something else. Something more. Something slightly sweet. Today was one of those days. I decided to make a refreshing drink based on the famous Arnold Palmer, half lemonade and half iced [...] -
The other day I made a whole chicken on the grill in pieces. It was delicious! Just a little BBQ sauce and an open flame is all I need to make The Husband happy in the dinner department. I also picked up a few ears of corn from the grocery store. They aren't in season [...] -
Let me explain so you don't think I'm making a chili recipe and just put it on pizza. I'm calling this vegetarian Chili Pizza because chili is what inspired flavors. I think I told you. Little Bean is really into, well, BEANS! We go through a can about every 2 days. Yesterday [...] -
I've confessed my inability to follow recipes here on GreenLiteBites many, many times. I don't know why it's so hard for me. I can barely follow some of my own and I wrote the darn things! I think most of my problem stems from not having all the ingredients listed and, [...] -
Leftover brown rice and leftover sauce meet in this quick lunch idea inspired by my favorite food of all time: Pizza. I swear I can turn anything into a pizza concoction. Have you seen all my pizza ideas? I've used everything from pumpkin to zucchini, polenta to wontons. Nothing is off [...] -
This isn't a recipe just an idea I had to share. I can't believe how good it was! I've never had grilled pineapple. Can you believe it? I just never really had the desire to grill it before. When you love something raw sometimes it doesn't occur to you to cook it. [...] -
I whipped this up for lunch on a whim today because, well, I have a baby who's obsessed with three things… Cheese, Beans, and Avocado. No, really. Look... It's my go to meal for him so I find myself with beans and avocado readily available. [...] -
You know that tradition 7 Layer Mexican Dip? The one with the cream cheese, guacamole, salsa, lettuce, cheese, green onion and olives? Yea. That's the one. Well I had a craving for it the other day. Well, not exactly for it as I can never make anything the way it's suppose [...] -
If you go through the archives of GreenLiteBites I have about 5 total beef recipes. Five. Compare that to the 80+ I have tagged with chicken/turkey there's a clear winner in the meat department on my blog and in my home. I don't have a beef with beef (omg The Husband [...] -
I'm a kitchen sink smoothie maker. Whatever I have on hand goes in the blender and viola! A quick breakfast or a healthy snack. Last year I posted an "Elastic Approach" to how I make smoothies but I still like to share specific combinations that worked really well. This was one [...] -
The other night it was just the kids and I home for dinner and I decided to make what I wanted to make no holds barred. Without The Husband home it's much easier for some reason. Hmmm wonder why? Ok, not here to husband bash.. really.. I'm not! I'm here [...] -
*sigh* I was really hoping to share an awesome turkey burger idea. I had grand plans for my leftover ground turkey. The results was alright but they could have been so much better. I added diced pineapple, red pepper, green pepper, oats and soy sauce to the meat and formed 2 patties. In hindsight I [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday having no idea if it would work. To my surprise it did AND the husband actually said he liked it... UNSOLICITED! Here's the story. I had only 4 tilapia fillets defrosted for dinner. I knew it wasn't going to be enough for us [...] -
This is a slight reboot of a recipe I posted last year simply called Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili. Staying true to my use-what-I-have-on-hand roots I, well, used what I had on hand and made a similar dish with a spicy twist. Topping the result with avocado added a cool creaminess that [...] -
Did you hear? The Laughing Cow recently launched Smooth Sensations a line of 5 cream cheese spreads. There's Classic Cream, Classic Cream Light, Strawberries & Cream, Garden Vegetable and my favorite… Cinnamon. It's a sweet wedge of creamy goodness! Today I decided to use my new favorite flavor [...] -
Confession time, I recorded a 30 minute video making this with both kids (partally) 2 nights ago. I miss videos. I really do but they seem so much more difficult with 2 children. I'm also having technical difficulties with my video recording and audio syncing making it VERY time consuming to edit. [...] -
A couple of years ago I shared a modified version of Sloppy Joe's I made for a party. Everyone loved it but I've been wanting to try to make something similar for the family on a smaller scale and without the pre-made canned Manwich sauce. I don't particularly have any issues [...] -
Yesterday I was dreaming about a salad. Not just any salad, but a chickpea filled, cucumber, and red onion salad with a fun, tangy dressing. Unfortunately, I had no cucumber or red onion. Well, that's a lie. I had a half of cucumber but it was a mushy mess and [...] -
Dinner meals are getting harder and harder for me to share lately. I've gone back to just whipping things up without really measuring anything (this meal was going to be one of those until I realized I still had enough light to take some photos.) I've also instituted a few brainless meal nights [...] -
Three years ago I posted a video called "Makin' Hard Boiled Eggs" where I shared my system for, well... making hard boiled eggs. Genius name, I know. I'm smart like that. Anyway, since then I've gotten tons of feedback and comments thanking me but all the information is locked in a long winded 10 minute [...]

That sounds like something I need! I’ve been living in clutter for all my life! I definitely want a change!
Hi Roni!
I’ve been enjoying your blog for a while now. Thank you so much for this opportunity! It sounds great, I signed up. I’ve never done a teleconference or anything like that, so this should be fun! :)
What if I only can attend to one class? Would that be OK? You know, for the rest of us who still have an office job :P The first one is too early, I’ll still be at work.
You’re only suppose to take once.. that’s why there are two choices smarty. ;)
I signed up for the Tuesday class! Simplifying life has been my goal for 2010! But, too often this year, I have forgotten that goal. This is an excellent opportunity for me to get back on track! Thanks for sharing Roni!
Roni- Thank you for the invite to this teleclass, I was expecting a Webex with some slides but that is the business side of me and my life!
I found some tips helpful tonight and have way too many ‘to do’s’ stuck in my mind or better known as tiny threats, you were a great teachers aid and chat host!
Thanks! It was totally fun. I hope to get as smooth as Laura… she has her material down pat!
I must say, the course was pretty amazing. I learnt so much last night and can’t wait for this weekend to start using the Mantra in cleaning up the house…….
So glad you enjoyed the course, Kim. The Mantra is going to make your life SO much easier! Come back on the 25th, if you’d like. I have decided to add my “Scarlett O’Hara Technique” to that class.
