Keeping track of 5 kids’ schoolwork, sports schedules, and other family activities is difficult. My Google Calendar works wonderfully for most events, but sometimes I need the flexibility of paper for keeping track of appointments and to-dos.

I’m really excited to start the school year off with my new BusyBodyBook Personal & Family Grid Organizer. The layout is perfect for my needs, and it has five columns, one for each child! Plus there are lots of little extras inside that will make staying organized easy.

• Planning calendar for birthdays and anniversaries

• Full page month-at-a-glance calendars

Join me every week for Win-It Wednesday. I’ll be posting 24-hour giveaways at 8 a.m., 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. ET to give you plenty of chances to win!

I’ve always envied those bloggers that faithfully post their menu plans each week. They seem so organized and as if they just have it all together. I imagine how nice it would be to know ahead of time what’s planned for dinner, but I’ve always struggled to implement menu planning into our schedule. Then I learned about Plan To Eat…

Plan To Eat is a meal planning website and so much more, and it’s really the perfect solution for someone as disorganized as myself in the kitchen. With Plan To Eat, you can easily compile your favorite recipes and then use them to create a weekly menu plan.

There are three main components to the Plan To Eat site: Recipe Book, Meal Planner, and Shopping List. One of my favorite features is the Recipe Book. I have literally hundreds of recipes that I’ve written down, torn out of magazines, or bookmarked in my browser. But while I have good intentions on making all of them, in actuality, I only try a few because of the sheer chaos.

The Plan To Eat Recipe Book allows me to compile all of these recipes in one location. I can tag them so I can find them easily in the future, and I can even upload photos of the finished product. Importing recipes from other websites is usually as simple as searching for the URL in the Add A Recipe view, or I can quickly add them with the bulk entry feature. Plus Plan To Eat makes it easy to share recipes with friends also using the service.

Meal Planning with Plan To Eat is simple once you have your recipes set up. Just drag and drop your selected recipe to the day you plan to prepare it. You can also save a group of menus as a plan that you can reuse in the future, and (I love this feature) you can add your plan to your Google Calendar. I don’t know what I’d do without my Google Calendar!

Plan To Eat goes above and beyond just meal planning. It will automatically generate a Shopping List based on your menu selections. Is one of your ingredients on sale at a local store in a given week? You can sort your list by store, making it easy to remember which ingredients should be purchased where.

I really feel like I’ve only just scratched the surface of what Plan To Eat can do, but why not check it out yourself? Plan To Eat is currently offering a FREE 30-day trial for their monthly menu planning site! Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Six lucky Deal Seeking Mom readers will each win a one-year membership to Plan to Eat!

I love a good iced latte in the summer, but the ones at Starbucks don’t come cheap! I’ve tried to dupliate the drink at home in the past without much success — until I tried the Seattle’s Best Toddy Brewing System.

With the Seattle’s Best Toddy Brewing System you can easily make your own cold brewed coffee concentrate at home. This is the key to a good iced latte! With the system you can brew up to 48 oz. of concentrate at a time, so it’s perfect for get togethers, or you can store it in the fridge for up to 14 days so you can enjoy an iced coffee drink at any time. You can also freeze it for up to 6 months!

Here’s a short video that shows you the brewing process from start to finish:

Need a recipe idea? Here’s my fave Iced Cold Brewed Coffee Vanilla Latte:

• 1 part cold brewed coffee concentrate
• 1 part chilled milk
• 1/2 to 1 oz. vanilla syrup
• 1 serving cup of ice

How’s that for simple and delicious?

Three lucky Deal Seeking Mom readers will each win a Seattle’s Best Toddy Brewing System, along with a bag of Seattle’s Best Beach House Blend Coffee!

To enter, tell me what your favorite summer coffee drink is. Do you like iced lattes, or are you a blended drink lover?

Additionally, the first 10 Deal Seeking Mom readers to upload a photo of you and your favorite Seattle’s Best drink to the Seattle’s Best Facebook page will each win one of (10) $10 Seattle’s Best Coffee gift cards. Be sure to include the link to this post (https://bit.ly/bZqDqu) in your photo comment to have it counted!
