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.

Thanks for the great tip.
If you or anyone needs an Atlanta home inspection be sure and give me a call at 404-788-2581 or visit our Atlanta home inspections website.
Also how much do you know about Radon gases? If the answer is not much then check out our Radon Inspection page. You might be glad you did as we have had several homes in the Cherokee County test high.
As an Alpharetta home inspector, David is always taking some of the craziest pictures. A lot of the times I’m still trying to figure out exactly what the problem is, but you see, here’s the key. David is trained and certified to look for these types of items and I’m not, and most home buyers are not trained either. I think about some of the things that David has ran across while doing a thorough home inspection (including snakes, bats and other creepy crawling things) and I just shutter. There is no way that I would go in some of the places that a home inspector has to go.
Here’s one of the problems that David runs across as an Atlanta home inspector on numerous inspections. It’s a dryer vent that is coiled up and laying on the floor. This traps the lint in the vent and it is considered a safety hazard.
Finding a home inspector in the Atlanta area is not a difficult task. In fact there are hundreds of home inspectors in the North Atlanta area such as Cumming, Canton, Woodstock, Roswell, Alpharetta, and Marietta. Out of all of those home inspectors only a select number are actually certified Georgia home inspectors.
The process of the home inspection requires about four hours for most homes and a professional home inspector would invite you to be there for the home inspection. David knows that your time is valuable so he understands if you can’t be there for the entire home inspection process, but he does like for you to be there by the time he is finished so he can go over his findings with you in person.

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 16 and one is 11, 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. With everything going on in the real estate market, it would be very easy for me to get into the same attitude of gloom and doom as others, but I chose not to and even tho we have had less home inspections this past month, our average for the year is up, we did really well in the home inspection profession this year, and for that we are exceedingly grateful. And we could not have done it without you, our customers, so to each and everyone of you a great big “THANK YOU!”
Please feel free to check out David’s webiste Atlantas Home Inspector for some great tips and to ask questions you may have.
Things have been going on and to be honest it’s been kind of crazy around here since Christmas. We’re gearing up for our new marketing launch after the first of the year and can’t wait to share with our news letter group some of the great marketing tools and tips that we have been studying and learning in a few different MasterMind groups that we’re apart of. I think the Mastermind calls start back up next week and I can’t wait. I have learned so much about SEO and Adwords and writing that I can’t wait to start putting it all to work. It’s almost over whelming!!!!

I have been revamping our regular home site and it is almost set to go live. Stay tuned. If you check this out tonight then go to http://www.ihihomeinspections.com and look at the old site and then check back in a few days and I will let you know when the new is live.
Happy New Year everyone!
Today has been such a wonderful day, talk about it being a lazy day, this has been it. We got up early with the kids and spent the morning opening gifts. There wasn’t a lot but you know really that’s not what it was all about. We spent the night up at my parents so we had three generations sitting around this morning and enjoying time together. We had a wonderful breakfast and then pretty much went on to do what ever it was that we needed to do. Right now, David is putting the finishing touches on the emergency home inspection he did for a gentleman yesterday, his due diligence time runs out Monday and David was already booked for the rest of this week, so he ran out and did the home inspection in Jasper yesterday. Both of the kids are napping so I had a little free time to play on the computer.
I keep thinking over this entire holiday week of how blessed we are. It just reminds me when I look around and all my family is here together – getting a long wonderfully, friends stopping in that we haven’t seen in a while just to hang out, how lucky I am. May your 2009 be better than ever. Merry Christmas everyone.
BTW if you or any of your friends ever need a home inspection in Atlanta or North of Atlanta then fill free to call my husband at 404-788-25281. He does have a tendancy to go above and beyond the call of duty. You can schdule your home inspection online also.
