As the Atlanta home inspectors wife, I do the marketing for our Atlanta home inspection company.  One of the things that I noticed is that I tend to get crazy busy and not have time to plan that family meal like I want to.  I was surfing the internet and found the below post and it reminded me of why I want to try to get that family meal on the table.  So often we think that the family meal is just about sitting down and eating, but it is really so much more.  If you turn off the distractions and focus on one another, then it is a great time to reconnect.  Being connected is one of the things that helps you and your children have that lasting relationship.  Who would have thought that a family meal could do so much?  Below is the article, I hope you enjoy it…

During these times, I have looked for ways to save money?  Did you know that if you live anywhere near Cumming, Georgia that on certain days you can go to Tyson’s Chicken plant right there off the square in Cumming and purchase chicken for about half the cost that it is at the local grocery store, that is the last time I bought some.  I haven’t bought any in a while because when we go I usually pick up three or four boxes to put in the freezer.  Below is a map to their location and I believe their phone number is 770-888-4611.  They’re only open odd hours Mon.-Thur. so I would try calling before heading that way.

Atlanta home inspector’s wife shares another meal saving tip is a post from: The Atlanta Home Inspector's Wife Marketing Site

This is a great idea from a friend of ours who just happens to be a home inspector also.  I personally never heard of this and I am very excited about checking it out.  Sometimes the old thing of “What are we going to have for Dinner” gets so old.  So below is what our friend wrote:

 When things are slow, money wise, you’ve got to find ways to save in every area of your budget.  We had a habit of eating out too much.  We always had good intentions when it came to eating at home, but the day gets busy, schedules change and so on until it’s dinner time and we are caught unprepared.       I found a great site that has helped us tremendously with getting our grocery shopping organized and has saved us money as well.  I heard about E-mealz on the radio and gave it a try. http://www.e-mealz.com/amember/go.php?r=28614&i=l0(justcopy and paste link into your browser) . It cost $5.00 per month to use the service.  Here’s how it works.  You sign up for the plan you want, which is one of various menu plans that are made each week around the sales at the store that you shop at.  We use Publix http://www.publix.com? .     Each week on the day that your favorite stores ads are released you can go and print your dinner menu.  It also includes a shopping list with the individual and total prices.  It’s a great program that has helped us eat at home and save money.  Our favorite store is Kroger and from what I understand it is available for most stores.

I like to shop in bulk and when I can I buy the larger packs of ground chuck on sale. I use to bring it home and break it up into 1 pound packages and then freeze. I have learned that when I purchase it in the 5pound plus package not only do I save money but I can also save time. When I get it home I go ahead and brown it all then put it in 1 pound packages. This makes it easy to pull out for tacos, hamburger helper, vegatable soup, or to add to spagetti. Not having to stand over the stove and thaw it makes it so easy to use right out of the freezer.

Hope this helps some other busy wives out there. I know with trying to do the marketing, teaching and learning about social marketing, blogging and everything else, I don’t want to worry about dinner time.

The Atlanta Home Inspectors Wife shares a story about Gratefulness is a post from: The Atlanta Home Inspector's Wife Marketing Site

Sending a card has a way of making you and the other person smile.  When I send an unexpected card it always makes me laugh when I get around the person and hear how it made them feel.  Making a person feel special is what SendOutCards is all about.  It allows you to act on a prompting no matter what time it is.  There’s no going to the store, then picking the right card, bringing it home, getting a stamp, and then mailing it.  You can easily sit down at your computer, log in, pick a card, fill out the inside (in your own handwriting if you want) and hit send.  Send out cards does the rest, they print it, stuff it, lick it put a real stamp on it and send it out.

Send Out a Card and Make someone smile! is a post from: The Atlanta Home Inspector's Wife Marketing Site

Just today our Pastor preached on Prayer and brought up some really good points that I would like to point out. 

Several times in the new testament, Paul who was a great man of God and saw many lives changed was constantly saying two things to the different churches that he wrote to.  The first thing was he was always writing that he was praying for the saints and then the second thing he wrote was pray for me or us when Timothy was with him.  This mighty man of God was constantly praying for the saints and that tells me that we all need prayer and he was constantly asking us to pray for him.  He didn’t want to go this thing alone, he wanted the prayers of the saints to strengthen him. 

Prayer may not get you out of a trial that you’re going through (tho I have seen that happen) but it will definitely give you strength to make it through.  Several times just hearing “I’m praying for you” has allowed me to pick myself up by the boot straps and go on.  Praying for others also helps you get your mind in the right mindset – a giving mindset – and when you give you receive it’s just God’s way of doing things.  It goes back to the sowing and reaping principle, if you are in great need of prayer, then start by praying for others and the rest will come.  Even Jesus said to pray for our enemies so that tells me that I should be praying even more for my loved ones. 

The other point that our Pastor made was the fact that even when we feel like there is no one praying for us or maybe we feel like no one WOULD pray for us because of the things we’ve done, THERE is at least ONE that will always be praying for us.   Rom 8:34 So you are never without someone praying for you.

Who can you be praying for today, if you can’t think of anyone else, pray for me “I need Prayer everyday”

I have also found that when I’m really in need of a lift, sending someone else an encouraging note lifts my spirits, have you lifted your spirits today…I just did.

I was just crusing around on www.activerain.com and found this really great post by Judi Barrett talking about the way that we treat people.  I have often found that from the youngest to the oldest, we all still care about how people make us feel.  How people make us feel can be so life changing.  There is rifs in families, splits in churches, conflicts at work ans fights on school buses (this one I should know all to well) all because of how someone makes us feel.  As Judy put it so well we are the ones that have a choice.  I choose to laugh today and live today full of joy and let the rest of life roll off my back like water off a ducks back.  And while I’m living I will chose to try and make someone elses life a little brighter, a little funnier, or make someone else feel a little more special.  I’ve got a great start, my daughter just came in and told me good morning and I just told her “I have got to be the luckiest mom in the world!”  You should have seen her smile…. We’re off to a great day.

Another great way to make someone feel special today is to send an unexpected card to someone, want to try it, go ahead, click here to send a real card, with a real stamp and see what can happen.

It’s all about how we make people feel is a post from: The Atlanta Home Inspector's Wife Marketing Site

Several years ago I ran across this really cool website that has changed my life. My life and home was in chaos (can’t have anyone over syndrome). I started receiveing these emails and I couldn’t figure out how this was really going to work for me, yet I kept reading and kept throwing a little away here and there and just kept trying to get my life in order. You see, I really have a servants heart and I love to cook and bake for people and generally like to have them over, but because of the chaos that I was living in, I never could. Fast forward till now – my husband’s home inspection business is up and going and getting very busy and I’m busy helping him with it. If I didn’t have the flylady systems in place, then I would be crazy by now. So if you have chaos in your life and

need to get rid of some of it visit flylady.net and fly.

PS: I’ve gotten rid of two dumpsters full of stuff, either in an actual dumpster or to the good will.

I’m Flying is a post from: The Atlanta Home Inspector's Wife Marketing Site

I have once again started listening to the science of getting rich cds that I purchased and was reminded of the grateful attitude.  See right now, especially around Christmas, it is so easy to maybe focus on what one doesn’t have or what one can’t do or can’t get for their kids that we forget all that we have to be grateful for.  I have so many things to be grateful for…..I have a loving family, both my family and my husbands family live close by and we can visit them anytime we choose.  My whole family is very healty and doing well.  My kids are great kids, even tho one is 15 and one is 10, I have yet to see those “bad teenage years” that so many talk about.  Now I think this is a KEY – I have always said “I have great kids and I try to never speak in a negative manner about them.”  I believe that you attract what you say!  Back to the book, it also taught me that focusing on what I didn’t want to happen in my life actually brought it into my life.  Now before anyone gets to wondering, I am a born again spirit filled believer, in love with Jesus, and I believe that God, the Father, is the giver of all good things.  So I know who to be grateful to….  I also think that with my actions and attitudes I open the door for the things that I want to happen and the things that I don’t.    If you want to check out the book go to www.making2008great.com and download it for free.  It will definately give you some things to think about.
