All freelancers, WAHMs, SAHMs and well let’s just say *people* in general can benefit from this basic, easy to use template.

Do you know how many people don’t bother to plan their dinners in advance?

I used to be one of them!

Without planning the following will always happen:

• You go grocery shopping and come back with nothing to eat
• You go grocery shopping, spend a fortune, and still don’t know what to cook
• You spend ages in front of an open fridge door wandering what to cook
• You waste even more time on the internet looking for recipes that require 1 egg, three slices of bread, chutney, suspect looking vegetables and half a slice of cheesecake.

Believe me, if you just take a couple of minutes out of your day on Sunday (I do this on Sunday for the week but honestly just do it before you have to go grocery shopping for the week) it will make all the difference in the world to your sanity!

By planning, you will:

• Save all that time formerly wasted on wandering what to cook
• It takes the brainwork out of figuring out if you have all the necessary ingredients
• Kids like to know ahead of time what they’re getting, and it generally changes their attitude to something if they can see okay, brocolli *today* but yummy sweet potato *tomorrow*.
• You save a bundle of money at the check out register, because you haven’t spent a fortune on buying bits and pieces that you may throw out later because it’s gone off before you used it.

If you’re a freelancer, or a work at home mom, you know *just* what a time saving lifesaver a simple menu plan can be, because when it’s just you against the clock, every second counts. Knowing that you can just leap into the kitchen at the right time, know that you’re whipping up spaghetti bolognese, you really can spend every last second finishing that first draft, polishing that website design and actually *focus* on the task at hand rather than worrying about what you’re making for dinner three hours from now.

Calling all Photographers, this one is for you!

So you’re a new photographer! Congratulations on your new business venture.

You have done your first paid photoshoot, and you feel like a million bucks.

Your clients have ordered a mountain of prints, and along with it, they want a photo slide show DVD to mail to grandma on the other side of the planet.

No problem! You have all the right software (especially you fellow Mac users out there, you know what I mean right?) to produce a beautiful photo slideshow.

There is just one problem…

You need music for that slideshow.

But where do you get music that you can legally put onto that CD before selling it to your clients?

Have you heard about Audio Jungle?

They provide a huge selection of brilliant royalty free music designed to be used exactly for projects like this!

Check out this months free file! Yes that’s right, they offer one file for free every month.

Membership of Audio Jungle is free, and if you want to purchase items, they accept Paypal.

As an added bonus, if  you prepay funds into your account (again, using Paypal) you even get a substantial discount on the files.

Want to know what is even better?

Audio Jungle is not a standalone site, but part of the huge Envato Marketplace, so if you sign up to Audio Jungle, you can easily flip between all their different marketplaces, and only use one login, one source of funds.

Believe me, once you’re in there, prepare to batten down the hatches, because you won’t be resurfacing for awhile!

Why not go sign up and check out that free file ?

Free for the taking, just a quick download (right click/save-as) if you forgot to send your dad a card in the mail, and want to send him more than a text message or bland email.

I hope all Fathers out there today have a loved one making them feel appreciated today.

Many places in the world will be celebrating Mothers Day on this Sunday 9th of May.

So I am proud to release this custom designed digitally downloadable Mothers Day Card.

Please note that two files are included in the download, one, is a hi-resolution .jpg, allowing you to either print from home or at a local printer, or email this card to your Mother, or Mother in law in time for Mother Day on Sunday! (Instead of a mad rush around the shops).

The other is a fully layered editable .psd file, for the graphically inclined amongst you who may want to customize the file. If you’d like to have the file customized, but possess neither the skill or the inclination to do it yourself, simply email me, and I can do it for you for a small additional charge.
