FREE Dr. Seuss 2014 Calendar plus 5 Dr. Seuss Kids Books for just $5.95 SHIPPED!

As a mom of three boys, I have had lots of practice teaching my kds to read.  Honestly, some picked up reading easier than others but ultimately they all read quite well.  I have to admit that the Dr. Seuss books helped make it easy for my kids to read and kept their attention.  They love the Dr. Seuss books and we have ours tucked away for grandkids down the road now that our kids are all young adults.

Not sure exactly what makes Dr. Seuss books so lovable.  I think it has something to do with the amazingly creative artwork in the books and that they are so perfect for learning to read with all the rhyming.  That and that are just fun to read.

I wanted to make sure to pass along this deal.  This would be a great opportunity for grandparents to order a deal on Dr. Seuss for their grandkids and of course Mom and Dad will want to get in on this too.

Right now you can get a free Dr. Seuss 2014 calendar that looks absolutely adorable and 5 Dr. Seuss Kids books for just $5.95 shipped.  Now, if you don't cancel, they will continue to send you more Dr. Seuss books so if this is something you don't want, make sure to cancel the monthly book option once you order.

Here is a list of the five Dr. Seuss books you will receive:

The Cat In The Hat
Mr. Brown Can Moo!  Can You?
Ten Apples Up On Top
The Tooth Book
Go Dog Go!

There is also a bonus offer that lets you get two more Dr. Seuss Books for just $4.99.  The family favorite Dr. Seuss book is One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish.  Also included is Dr. Seuss's ABC book which is a must have for any reader just starting out.  I highly recommend these!

For just $10.94 shipped you can get all 7 books and the Calender, or $5.95 shipped for 5 books and the Calendar.  Either way, a fantastic deal just in time for Christmas gift giving!

Save Time And Money Making Homemade Meals Once A Month! Commit To No Processed Foods! You CAN Do This!

I am going to be the first to admit it.  

I fed my family processed frozen foods regularly.  

They were cheap and I was lazy.  I mean making home cooked meals is hard to do when you have three teenage boys, a husband and a dog.  If you work out of the house or not, it really does not matter.  The amount of work that goes into taking care of a family is staggering.  So why in the world would I want to make my job any harder by cooking home cooked meals?

Fast forward ten years and I have learned a few things.  My family has not been healthy.  I don't think that eating processed foods caused all the problems but I do believe that what we eat matters.  Eating healthy matters.  So, I had to figure out a way to make healthier meals that would not drive me insane.

Welcome Hotby6.com, a wonderful site that has all kinds of wonderful recipes that you can make ahead of time and freeze.  These are much healthier options and still things that your family will love.  In fact, I can pretty much guarantee that your family will notice the quality of food is amazingly better.  The best part?  By making meals ahead of time, you are buying in bulk.  Buying in bulk can save you a lot of money.  How many times have you thrown out extra food that went bad because you did not need it all?  With a little planning and the help of Hotby6.com, you can buy exactly what you need and save.

I am telling you about Hotby6 because I feel it has been the best option for my family.  I tell people about this and they are shocked.  Sometimes people tell me that they were able to find some great freeze ahead recipes on Pinterest and why would they want to pay $6 a month for a service when they could get it for free?  Good question.  I actually have tried recipes on Pinterest and sometimes they were not accurate and did not turn out.  Othertimes it was so confusing for me.  It was confusing because I wanted to make 10 meals but I had to combine a huge list and make sure I was not missing anything.

Hotby6 is so much easier for me.  Basically I pick the recipes I want to use.  I pick how many of each meal I want to make.  Hotby6 does the hard work by compiling my list of everything I need.  It is wonderful.  I simply go through my list, crossing off anything I already have in the house.  This leaves me with the list that I need.  Now if you are a member of Sams Club, by all means use their online service.  You can pick the items you need based on your list and Sams Club will shop for you and get it all ready!  No charge!!  Love this service.  It is actually a great reason to get a Sams membership.  Plus I just stocked up on boneless, skinless chicken breast for my meal plans and it is $1.99 a pound at my local store, much cheaper than Publix, Walmart or Winn-Dixie right now.  

Right now, you can try out Hotby6.com for FREE for 14 days!  I highly recommend you do so.  You can check out recipes and see if this is a good fit for your family.  My family is picky and originally I was afraid we would not find recipes we could use.  WRONG!  Amazing selection.  Some of my favorites include chicken tenders, chicken tacos, lasagna, camp out burgers and a healthy meatloaf option with turkey and ground beef.  (No worries, the kids don't even notice!)

Check it out and let me know what you think.  It has been so helpful for my family.  There is nothing as wonderful as pulling the meal out of the freezer, sticking it in the crockpot and not having to worry about dinner--And knowing you are feeding your family a healthy dinner.

Free Online Chore Chart for the Kids! Teach them How To Get Rewarded For Their Efforts!

As a Mom of three teenage boys, I can tell you I wish there was something as wonderful as MyJobChart when my kids were younger.  My husband and I never paid our kids an allowance.  What we did instead was paid them by the chores or job they did.  If they did not do their chores or assigned jobs, they did not receive any money that week.

MyJobChart works along the same lines.  You set up the chores and your kids earn rewards which they can save, share or spend.  As a mom of a special needs autistic adult child, I can see this will be especially beneficial for us as well. Please pass this along to any other families that may benefit.  I think this is an amazing way to motivate kids and make it a little easier on us parents.

Check it out and let me know what you think!

Probiotic Chocolate Is Helping Me Lose Weight! Order Your Free Sample!

Probiotic Chocolate is Helping Me Lose Weight

I posted before about these probiotic gluten free chocolates I’ve been eating, which I got as a free sample. They’re the Xoçai® XoBiotic Squares chocolates, and they’re full of antioxidants and probiotics—both of which promote digestive health and boost my immune system. Dark chocolate has also been found to lower blood pressure and improve cognitive function. I know a lot of health-conscious people eat dark chocolate as a part of their diet. I had no idea adding chocolate to your diet was supposed to be a good thing—but regular chocolate is just a treat. Xoçai® chocolates are the real deal—good for my body, good for my health, and good on my tastebuds.

I was pretty happy when I found out that XoBiotic Squares can also be a snack as part of a weight loss plan. This is great timing because I’ve been thinking of starting a diet where I’m watching my nutrients and ingredients. Snacking has always been a hard thing for me when I diet, but these chocolates are actually part of a sanctioned weight-loss program.

You read that right: eating chocolate is part of a weight loss program. 

Xoçai chocolates are packed with probiotics and antioxidants, so I’m already getting digestive and immune benefits from the chocolate, as well as lowering blood pressure and feeling good. But when you add eating two to four chocolates as snacks along with a protein snack, you appetite is suppressed and you feel like you’ve had a treat. It’s a total diet win! You don’t cheat by eating garbage, and you’ve got the health benefits. Best of all, this combination is going to help take the pounds off primarily by controlling your diet.

I can’t wait to tell people when they ask me what I did to lose a few pounds that I ate chocolate.

Try some free samples (what could be better than free samples of chocolate?) and then let me know how you like them. Please reach out if you want to talk more about the diet plan, too.
