The Benefits of Menu Planning

The Benefits of Menu Planning

dsc 0403 The Benefits of Menu Planning

I have been grocery shopping for over 15 years. It’s a weekly chore and for some it is not a favorite task. I however, love grocery shopping. It’s is partly because it is a form of shopping (I’m a bit of a shopaholic), but mainly because the little organizer in me loves the whole process that leads up to the weekly shop.

My favorite part is the menu planning. I love sifting through my many cookbooks to plan what mouth-watering meals I will be making for the week. I usually plan for three to four recipes for each week and write out all the ingredients I will need. I check the fridge and cupboards to figure out what we need to buy and what we already have. I then make sure I have the staples in the house. I always have pasta, spaghetti sauce, hamburgers, hot dogs and other kid friendly items. I then check to see what snack foods we have left and write down what we will need for the week.

This process of menu planning is very important to make sure that I have the right amount of food for my 9 month old, favorites for my 2 ½ year old, lunches for my husband and the right amount of food for our dinners. Aside from my enjoyment of menu planning, there are some very important benefits.

1. Planning saves money – If you stick to your list, you will buy only what you need. You can also plan around coupons and store specials to help with a budget.

2. Making Healthy Choices – By planning ahead and listing healthy options it is much easier to avoid the barrage of unhealthy choices you are faced with in the store

3. Efficiency – By doing a bit of prep work before your trip to the store, you can make your shopping experience much more efficient. You spend your time getting what you need, you have a focus and you won’t waste time trying to decide what to get.

4. Avoid multiple visits to the store – By menu planning, you will only need to go to the store once saving time. This also saves money as the opportunities to buy extra items are limited.

I love menu planning so much I am currently working on a shopping list pad to help other families with this as well as a weekly menu planner. Check out www.glowbaby.ca soon for these new products.

All in all, menu planning may seem like work up front but in the end it saves you time and money. It is definitely worth it!

I am moving, please come with me!

Howdy y’all!  Really soon I am moving to Mom Cube.  I am super excited about it, but also worried.  I have worked very hard to get my stats up so high and to get the readers that I have.  If I move to a new site, my web address would change and I would be able to do a bit more.  I just don’t want to lose my many loyal followers.

So, would you be willing to update your links to reflect my new address? I think they can move my Google followers to my new blog, but I ma not sure how my RSS feeds and email feeds would work.  I don’t know if they can do that for me or if you guys would have to do it.

I am not moving yet, I am thinking Oct. 15th will kill my blogspot blog and have me at www.3boysandadog.com  I would love to hear your opinions!  Plus, if you have a blog and have moved before, I would love to hear from you.

Thanks!!

P.S. the new website www.3boysandadog.com has some older posts on it right now because we have been testing it.  My technorati tags went hay-wire on it and I will need to go into every post and correct them, but it should be back soon.  You guys shouldn’t notice a huge difference in my layout, except that all older links will be invalid. LOL!

DAY #29 Green Kids R Us Giveaway

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED!

Welcome to DAY NUMBER TWENTY-NINE of the Back 2 School Blog Bash 2009 – 30 Days of Giveaways, at 3 Boys & a Dog!

I did not review this item, but the site does look very interesting… which is why I contacted Kim at Green Kids R Us about sponsoring a Bash giveaway.  She provided the article.

 DAY #29 Green Kids R Us Giveaway

Green Kidz R Us, started by 2 concerned moms, was created to inform and educate families about toxic home and personal care products and their health hazards. Their focus and passion is the environmental safety of our children.

Green Kidz R Us launched in 2006, was created to inform, educate and enlighten moms, dads, and kids about toxic products and health hazards in the home. Being advocates for children’s health and safety, they encourage substituting toxic chemical cleaning and personal care products for safer, healthier, green ones. To accomplish this, they’ve partnered with a private label manufacturer whose products are sourced from natural sustainable sources. They are the world leader in the technology of concentrated green products and no other company even comes close to their price or effectiveness.

Available are over 350 consumer items, in 5 different categories that are used in every home, every day. Product categories include eco-friendly laundry and cleaning products, products for good health and vitality for life, bath and body items, skin care and cosmetics and even an over-the-counter pharmacy category.

One of the most popular lines is the Eco Sense cleaning and laundry items. They’re formulated to be safer for your family, your home and the environment. Used are effective, naturally derived ingredients without abrasives and everything’s ph balanced. The products are super concentrated and don’t contain any fillers. They’re all safe around children and pets and because they’re so safe, you won’t see any childproof caps. You’ll never find chemicals like phosphates, chlorine bleach, ammonia, or formaldehyde in this line of cleaners.

Educating and arming yourself with information is the best way to make an informed decision as to what’s best for your family’s health. Green Kidz R Us is a leader in information and solutions when it comes to home and personal care.

Satisfied Customer Testimonials

I have two small children in my home and I am so glad that our house is chemical free and we are using green products. My children’s allergies have subsided since getting rid of the cleaners, detergents and personal items that are full of chemicals. The benefits are so great and I can rest easy that I am doing all I can to protect my children. – Penny, Illiopolis, IL

I have been using this line of green products for the past 18 months and have found them to not only be safer for my family but are also good quality cleaning products that really work. – Kerri, Gilbert, AZ

I was born allergic to “everything“.  At family reunions, my relatives still remind me about how they thought I was going to die before I reached 2 years of age.  All my life, the medical profession has been unable to help, they just said I‘ll grow out of it (I‘m over 18, if I was going to outgrow it, I would have).  After ridding my home of all the store-bought soaps, lotions, and cleaners, and switched to the non-toxic brands Green Kidz R Us recommended my open, weeping bloody sores are gone.   It only took a day to notice that I could breathe better and had more energy.  In a few days, my skin was obviously healing.  The skin problems were GONE in under two weeks.  I’d had them since birth, there are a few scars, but most will go away. – Kim, Truth or Consequences, NM

BONUS Day #28 WordBuild®, from Dynamic Literacy

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED!

* I did not review this product.  The article was provided by Jerry of Dynamic Literacy. *

 BONUS Day #28 WordBuild®, from Dynamic Literacy  BONUS Day #28 WordBuild®, from Dynamic Literacy

WordBuild®, from Dynamic Literacy, is an English vocabulary program for grades 3-12 that is not based on memorization!  Students are never given a list of words to memorize.  Based on Latin and Greek roots, prefixes and suffixes, the objective of WordBuild is to give students the knowledge they need to be able to analyze unfamiliar words and figure out what they mean.  We measure this by giving tests with words that haven’t been studied!  We have data that proves this method works.  Don’t take our word for it:

Excerpts from A review of Greek and Latin roots vocabulary building curricula

- by Sherene Silverberg, Norfolk Homeschooling Examiner, July 2009

“I was looking for something that taught roots in a way that built slowly, but systematically and did not assume any prior knowledge of roots.”

“I recommend starting off with their Foundations series, as it teaches prefixes and suffixes and builds on students’ prior knowledge by attaching them to words they already know. It comes with extensive teaching notes which I appreciate. Each new suffix/prefix that is introduced has 5 different activities accompanying it. The suggestion is that you do one activity a day and one new word a week. Each activity requires writing.”

“This method of teaching makes sense to me. It’s systematic and simple for the child to understand and for mom to teach.  Furthermore, you are reducing brute force memorization. As an added bonus to the teacher, once you’ve purchased one of their products you are given access    to a member’s forum where you can access additional worksheets and information. It allows you to look ahead on the series you are working on.”

WordBuild fits my family’s needs perfectly and I highly recommend it to other homeschoolers”
