Personal Meal Planner: Live the Life

Since I started my Weight Release journey, I have been looking into meal-planning systems that would help me in my quest to give my family the best nutritional meals possible. I was contacted by Dennis Kraus and asked to check out Emealsforyou.com, an online meal planning service for busy people.

I love it. Not only are there unique recipes to add to your daily and weekly menus, you can also generate a shopping list to make things even easier for you. The best part is that you can use the site to make diet-friendly menus, menus for special occasions, and/or quick meals. You can even use it to plan for a night of entertaining at your home. If you are a working mom, or even a SAHM, Emealsforyou.com is definitely what you need to save you time and energy.

And Mom on the Rise/Kristina Reviews readers can save $5 dollars when you sign up for the Emealsforyou.com services. This makes the cost for six months of service only 31 dollars. In addition, a portion of your subscription fee goes to breast cancer research initiatives. When you sign up, be sure to use the code MOMRIS-37 as the Sponsoring Identifier to receive your discount.

A Dog With a Song

There are very few toys that have yet to get on my nerves. For some reason, the toys that babies love the most NEVER SHUT UP! The Fisher-Price® Laugh & Learn™ Learning Puppy™ is Mya’s favorite toy. She lugs it around every where and with her love comes music. L3 sings “Head and Shoulders”, “Do Your Ears Hang Low”, and “If You’re Happy and You Know” and it helps label the basic body parts- ears, nose, hand, foot. The educational value of this toy is definitely a positive. It keeps Mya busy and provides her with what seems to be a life long companion. I especially love the off switch.

What I don’t like is the hair-trigger buttons. The songe never play all the way through because it is too easy to activate another button. For a toy that get tossed around so much, the buttons should require a little more than just a brush to get it going. I also noticed that every now and then the dog will just stop working. Changing the batteries and making sure that it is turned on does not help. Then, after weeks of it not working, it will suddenly work again. This is not always a bad thing for me, but for Mya, it is a little disappointing.
