About: Erin Chase is the wonderful woman behind MyFreezEasy. She put together MyFreezEasy.com Freezer Meal Plan Membership to help make things easier in the kitchen at dinner time. Being a mom of 5 and a busy schedual I was happy to review this. MyFreezEasy allows you to make a meal plan for your family. You can choose from pre-designed meal plans for complete ease or you can do custom meal plans from their huge list of recipies.

I went with the pre-designed meal plans just because I didn't want to take the time to filter through so many tasty meals to make my own plan. The plans include 5 to 10 recipes thst can make 10 to 20 meals. The plans are super easy to read and understand. They include the recipe for the meal and how to serve or how to freeze for later. Also included is the shopping list, assembly instructions, and lables for if you freeze the meal. A bonus is that the recipes also come with modifications to make them gluten or dairy free. I have one dairy free kid so it was nice to be able to easily change a recipe for her. There are also many different plan options to choose from.

• Traditional meals
• Gluten Free meals
• Clean Eats meals
• Chicken only meals
• Ground Beef only meals
• Slow Cooker meals

So if you have found a sale, on say chicken you can check out all the chicken meals to use it up. There is also the gluten free plan which I know many people would love. 

I also loved that it is all laid out for you on how to prep to cook. This was also an added bonus to be easy for my daughters to help cook as well. Having everything there step by step they were able to make some of the meals themselves. Unfortunately Hurricane Matthew wiped out all of our meals as we lost power and still have not gotten it back on. I will be glad to get back into stocking up again though. 

Our favorite meals were the chicken recipes. We made the Baked Island Chicken last. It was a nice sweet chicken which the kids love anything sweet. That is another thing I loved is I found most all recipes were very kid friendly. Also letting your kid help you assemble the meals makes them more likely to try the fruits of their labor than if you just blindly give them a new food. 

Overall great membership to have. Great for busy mom's and dad's as well as maybe a new chef in the house wanting to try to make new foods and can help fill the freezer while doing so. I also believe this is grest for those families who may not be bus but don't have the ideas on what to cook. This really takes the guess work out of it all. 

Be sure to check them out on Social media as well as see what my fellow crew mates cooked up.

Everyday Education LLC Review

Vendor: Everyday Education LLC
Product: Perfect Reading, Beautiful Handwritting
Price: $27.00 digital e-copy
Age: Beginning or struggling readers, as well as any age that need handwriting


About: Everyday Education, LLC gave me the wonderful chance to review Perfect Reading, Beautiful Handwritting for my struggling reader.  This program is broken up into 60 lessons. Each lesson is for one days work and the goal is to be able to read and write well by the end of the 60 days. Each lesson is a step by step tool to teach your child to read and write well. It is phonics based program at 218 pages long. I reviewed the digital version, which can be used for all in the family.

The writing portion of the program is to teach how to write beautiful. Meaning it's more italic style. My daughter loved this style. She has never been one to really care for writting, much less making it neat. I also notice the extra fancy way of doing letters helped her keep them written the correct way. She is dyslexic and still writes many letters backwards. You start out by practicing the letters in both upper and lower case. Some letters we used a separate sheet of paper to practice more. Then they have you to move on to copy work by doing a poem line for line. This section is just teaching the added italic to the letters but at a vertical position. After you finish these lessons the next move on to adding the slant. Which is a bit more difficult when you have written vertical all the time. There is more free writting in this section vs just copy work. Then to finish there is lesson on how to combine letters to make writting faster. It also goes a step further to learn to write with a calligraphy pen. We don't have one yet but we are all super excited to try it. I remember trying in highschool and couldn't figure it out. I howe very was trying to self learn.

We spent the majority of our time on the handwriting during the review period bit we are moving on to the reading portion now. This is a Christian based program and there are scripture throughout the pages. I think this would be great for anyone that wants to add some fun to their writing lessons or want to take the 60 challenge of teaching your child to read.

Great earning Sites

Synovate is hard to get into… Unlike a lot of the other companies, they are not always taking new members. They are right now, but it doesn’t always last too long. If it is closed, just keep checking back. It is worth it! You are seldom screened out of surveys, the rewards add up really quickly, and this is one of the best for product testing.

Swagbucks is a little different, not a traditional survey site, but it seriously ROCKS my SOCKS. You install a toolbar (super easy, trust me!!) and then use that bar to search, instead of Google or Yahoo. Every so often, it pops up that you have won Swagbucks. You earn them pretty quick, and earn more by doing surveys or polls. I use my points for Amazon gift cards, and I earn at least $5 bucks a week. I just put those in my Amazon account, and let them pile up. It is awesome.

Mypoints sends you some surveys to earn points, but if you only earn points that way, it’s pretty slow. Take advantage of all of the other options: print and redeem coupons, shop through them, and click on the ads they send you. The ads aren’t spammy, although, the more you click them, the more you’ll get. But they are legit offers, and if you want to shop through one you get big points, if you don’t, you just click it and earn 5 points. Mypoints rewards you with FREE gift cards, I earn a $50 card every couple months. And they have TONS of choices for cards… Macy’s, Target, Wal-Mart, Toys R Us, all good ones.
