my semi-new LIFE planner

When ever I take my semi-new planner out (at home or church or about) someone is always asking where I got it or did I make it . . .

this is an older photo - my september is totally filled up with writing now . . .

this planner holds 1 1/2 years of calendaring and journaling - basically, it's my brain . . .

it has stickers to remind you of important events - what red blooded adult doesn't like stickers too . . . and in the back (no photo) it has a plastic pouch that holds receipts and odds and ends . . .

the tabs basically rock my socks as it's so easy to flip around! I also choose the "initial" style - but there are loads of designs to choose from . . .

you can also choose to get customized inital stationery . . .

the cover is 'heavy laminate' that will hold up for a long time . . .

I bought this cute little clip to hold my pages in place - but that's just me . . .

the size is perfect - not too small, not to big but just right to fit just about anywhere!

it's a LIFE PLANNER and you can check it out HERE. And a fun VIDEO HERE!

making life a little easier (review)

E-Mealz - I heard about this site on the radio - recommended by some people I totally respect. So, I checked it out to see for myself. It's very inexpensive - affordable by any family's standards - only $15 for 3 months worth of daily recipes. They have recipes (from vegetarian to Weight Watchers New Point System) to choose from plus shopping list. BUT, the 'jury' is still out on this one. Why? When I purchased, I thought there were recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner! I found out - it's dinner recipes only!

You DO download (2) sheets per week that include:

1. MEAL, INGREDIENTS and INSTRUCTIONS on how to make the meal
2. GROCERY LIST (shopping list) with detailed breakdown on foods needed in catagories: produce, meats, dairy/refrigerator, frozen, canned/bottled, packaged
3. SUPER EASY TO UNDERSTAND and WELL organized

The reason I like this little company so much is that they don't charge an 'arm and a leg', provide good/healthy meals and save you a lot of time in planning. Click into their blog and get some good ideas on COUPON clipping and shopping! Give it a try!
