I have just discovered your website. I desperately need the help. I have the organizational skills of a spider monkey. I’ve been making a (thusfar futile) attempt to rectify this for the past ten years, since I first became a mom! I now have four little ones and am going back to school. The past year has been a nightmare of chaos for my entire family.

I had heard about this site years ago on (I think) Oprah, or maybe Rachel Ray, but my family is full of picky eaters and I didn’t even give it a shot. I thought, “there’s noooo way I can find crockpot dinners that my husband and kids will eat.” Now, however, I have taken on an attitude of, they will eat what I cook or they can starve. My son and I have had to go on a special diet (low carb, no sugar, high protein, high calcium, reduced fat, gluten free) and I was cooking two or three meals AT EVERY MEAL TIME to try pleasing everyone. I looked down at the stove one night, at the chicken fried steak sandwich that I was fixing for my husband, the raviolis from a can for my big girls, the hotdog and mac-n-cheese for my baby girl, and the grilled chicken salad that I was carefully seperating the vegetables for out into seperate continers so that Alex could pick out whatever he wanted and not waste anything…I looked at the table, where my overweight husband was playing a board game with the kids…I looked at the dishes that I would have to wash soon…I glanced at my office door, where about four hours of homework was waiting for me, and then at the clock, which tauntingly declared it to be five minutes til eight. I knew that I would be up (again) until at least midnight, and that I had to be up (as usual) by four-thirty. I sort of cracked. I threw away everything but the salad, served that to everyone (the baby got some diced egg, carrot sticks, cottage cheese and cranberries – and was happy!) and told them eat or go to bed hungry. My family was in shock. That was four nights ago. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I do not get home from school myself until after eight. I need something that I can have waiting for them that I feel good about them eating. I came home last night and they had eaten frozen pizzas and ice cream for supper, heavy on the ice cream. !!!!!

So, very long story short, I need all of the help I can get, and I really think your site will be a lifesaver (or at least a sanity-saver)!

This doesn’t help me, but if you have a blackberry you could always check the email right at the store too.
