My name is Hally and I am a stay at home wife and mother.
I worked for 9 years in the corporate world and loved it.
Then after several years of marriage and years of trying, we had a
daughter in March of ’07 who is the center of our lives.
When my daughter was born, we decided it was best for our family if I
stayed at home. I love my decision
and I feel lucky I am able to stay at home.
I know all women are not as fortunate.
I also know how much I hated to cook and make dinner before my daughter
was born. Going from two incomes to
one, made eating out 3+ times a week impossible.
With a newborn it was also impossible for me to run to the store every
night to pick up what we needed to make dinner, not to mention the enormous
amount of money I spent running to the local expensive store right by my house.
So once cooking became one of my main jobs ,out of necessity and life
style changes, I created meal magnets to make my life easier.
Now I take 10-15 minutes twice a month to plan my dinners
and make one trip to the grocery store that is a little further from my home but
a lot less expensive to do my shopping. Not
only have I saved valuable time not running to the store every night to pick up
those last few things to make dinner. I have also saved over $100 a month using my meal magnets and
we almost never eat out so I am saving money there as well.
My meals are quick and easy and if I don’t feel like the
meal I planned for that day I can easily exchange it for another meal I had
planned for a different day and I already have all the ingredients I need.
I am no Martha Stewart and I never plan to be.
I like quick tasty satisfying meals that are inexpensive and easy to
make. With meal magnets you can
make everything from scratch if you like or buy a couple of the items on your
magnets from the freezer section for an even quicker meal, they are flexible to
whatever your style of cooking is.
