I truly feel honored to be able to introduce all of you to some truly amazing products throughout the year. Through giveaways and simple personal reviews I love bringing all my readers the best available product information. My very favorite thing though is to bring you products that are helpful, will last and are affordable. Anything to help you meet or beat your budget is what I look for in particular.
As I was looking back over the items I discovered, used and loved most for my home and family, I thought I’d take a moment to mention some of my very favorite ones to all of you.
Favorite Menu Planner: Most of you know that I believe that many of our monthly expenses can be pared down by simply planning a good menu (and only buying things that you KNOW you need NOW). This isn’t always easy and, let’s face it, moms are busy and it’s nice not to have to think of everything on our own all the time! Recently I was skipping around the web and happened upon a site offering one year menu planners. Intrigued I read more, and it looked like an excellent idea. Having a much larger than average family though, I decided to email the site owner (and menu planner) to ask her opinion on if it would work for us. She was super fast to reply and said that most of the meals were made in casserole dishes or in the crockpot so only a few would need to be modified to work for us. I promptly placed my order.
I will tell you right now that it has changed my life. Ok, maybe not really changed it, but it has made a huge difference in meal planning! Seriously! About now you’re starting to talk to your computer screen to tell me to stop gushing about it and give you the link already …… fine!
It’s called My Family Meal Planner and it plans out 4 meals per week for one year for your family to enjoy. It is true that most of the meals are enough to feed our family of 8, so smaller families will enjoy having some leftovers the next day. Every single family member has LOVED almost every meal, so you can be encouraged that they are indeed “kid friendly”. Keep in mind while considering purchase that the price is for an entire YEAR of planned meals with recipes and shopping lists. You can also purchase a combo with a separate weekly shopping list, but I actually think that using the list in the planner is enough since you have to rewrite the lists anyway. Oh, and if you’re a single parent or it’s just you and your hubby, there’s a planner for two. Also if you are planning on getting healthier, she also offers a “Light” meal planner.
I know I need to move on, but there’s one last thing I want to mention (as if you weren’t already over on the site placing your order by now) … this is the FIRST meal planner I have found that plans the ENTIRE meal for you. Entree, side dish, fruit &/or veggies. I’d say that this fact (combined with all the other conveniences of having everything in one planner) is what really made me fall in love with it.
Favorite Natural Household Products: I’m blessed that the nearest grocery store carries a very decent selection of Natural and Organic products. My very favorite ones for household cleaning and laundry is by far Mrs. Meyers Household Products. For dishes, I like Seventh Generation.
I can’t think of anything else at the moment and as I think back over all the products I reviewed last year it is honestly overwhelming to try and consider the “favorites” among them. But here’s a few reviews that stand out in my mind ….
Safety: My Precious Kid (huge variety of safety products for children)
Baby Variety/Mom-Owned Shop: Micah & Co. (Prices are good, the owner is so sweet and the products are very nice)
Chore System: Mom Can I Help Around the House? (get an extra chore book for each child – comes with one)
Educational/Learning: Wiggle Giggle Learn (complete preschool education)
Baby Product: Evenflo Symphony All In One Car Seat (affodability, safety and durability all in one product)
Maybe the next thing isn’t a discovery so much, but while I’m listing my favorites, I simply had to mention this one last favorite …..
Favorite Book – I absolutely cannot choose just one, so you will see my list from each genre at Froggy Reviews soon. If I was forced to choose one favorite among all the wonderful books I have reviewed it would be …… Before the Season Ends by Linore Rose Burkard. I am absolutely looking forward to the release of it’s sequel this spring
