This week I’ll be sharing my printables for our Learn to Read Series with letter “C”, but first I wanted to share some info about an incredible resource that is only being offered this week.
One of the biggest challenges I face as a mom to two preschoolers is finding a way to feed picky eaters. I had no idea that a three year-old and a one-year old could be so choosy. Not to mention that the busyness of training-up and caring for toddlers means I often sink into a food rut. When things get hectic I often grab for the quickest, easiest thing instead of the choice that might be healthier, or at least – more inspiring.
I think one of the ways I can improve my chances for serving up tasty and healthy meals is to spend a bit more time planning for them. Plus – I think that by adding more variety (i.e. trying more things) I’m bound to come across a greater selection of acceptable choices for my picky boys. I don’t currently meal plan but I’ve heard from other moms and bloggers that it not only saves time, it saves money too.
Only question is – where do I start?
Now, you may have seen (or maybe not) some posts about the Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle on the web. The truth is, it is an incredible deal! I just think as busy moms it’s tough to decide what’s right when we invest in a bundle and we want to make a smart choice. So it’s truly got to not only be a great offer – it needs to add VALUE to our lives. Well, I think this bundle is not only an awesome deal but that it truly can help me solve some of the issues I’ve been having with planning, budgeting, and serving up nutritious meals for my family. I think once you read this post, you’ll see why I feel the way that I do. I like this bundle so much that I signed up to be an affiliate. I find that many of the books offered in this bundle will be helpful to me and I wanted to make sure that I let my readers know about this wonderful resource.
There are a TON of resources in this bundle. Once you purchase the bundle if there are things that you will not be using, you can give them away as a gift. Perfect for Christmas!
First off, I’m just going to hit the high points, these are the major benefits of the Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle. If you want my personal favorites – scroll down and you’ll see why I’m going to get the Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle.
The Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle
What’s in the Bundle?
We took 86 eBooks (plus 1 eCourse) by popular bloggers on topics like real food & recipes, green living, natural cleaning and beauty, mental and emotional health, fitness, herbal remedies and more.
Then we added the brand new “Coffee Table Conversations,” a 12-week series of author mentorship through interactive online conference calls and private support groups.
We finished it off with 9 bonus sponsors offering you $150+ of incredible products and services to help you along your way. This includes bonuses like $25.98 of FREE eco-friendly laundry detergent from Dizolve (because we all need clean clothes). This bonus nearly makes up for the entire cost of the bundle!
How Much Does the Bundle Cost?
The creators of the Ultimate Healthy Living 2013 Bundle Sale, had 3 basic goals: to put a comprehensive health library at your fingertips, to offer something for everyone, and to provide so much value for an itty-bitty price that it would be irresistible.
In a nutshell? This bundle is brimming with more than 80 ebook and ecourse resources, from authors and bloggers known as authorities in their fields.
For less than $30, you can pick up your own bundle complete with more than $800 worth of ebooks, $67 worth of interactive “coffee table conversations” with their authors, and $158 worth of products and services to help you on your way toward healthier living. That’s over a $1,000 value!
But you don’t want to wait! This bundle is available for only 6 days, from 8 a.m. (EST) on Monday, November 4th to 11:59pm (EST) on Saturday, November 9th.
Get yours now for just $29.97!
My TOP 3 Personal Favorites:
One of my favorite parts of the bundle is the Meal Planning and Prep Section.
Menu Planning/Meal Prep
Meals ePlanner by Jennifer @ List Plan It ($5.00)
Cottage Mama Plans Her Spring Menu by Kristy @ Little Natural Cottage ($3.95)
Cottage Mama Plans Her Homeschool Menu by Kristy @ Little Natural Cottage ($3.95)
Cottage Mama Plans Her Summer Menu by Kristy @ Little Natural Cottage ($3.95)
40 Real Food Weekly Menu Plan Ideas Packet by Laura @ Heavenly Homemakers ($5.00)
I love that these authors provide tools to help me get organized and focus on “real food”. My man is a meat and potatoes kinda guy so supper time needs to involve “real food.” Plus – looking at the titles from Little Natural Cottage, I’m encouraged to see that there is a new line up of planning for each season. I love that her thought process lines up with what is seasonal. As I mentioned earlier – I think one of the best things I can do (especially during the holiday season when sweets and treats are plentiful) is to plan more of our family’s meals.
I also think that the section on learning more about real and whole foods will be very useful for me. I especially like the book about “Real Food on a Real Budget.” I’m a stay-at-home mom so I have to be very budget conscious when it comes to making decisions about what we eat. I also like the book “A Practical Guide to Real Food for Women Who Love to Eat & Want to Lose Weight”. I have a few pounds to lose after the birth of baby #2 so I’m excited to read this book.

You’ll be able to listen to authors converse with each other on any (or all) of the 12 calls that you choose to take part in, and get answers to your questions in real time!
