Who is Diet Once A Month Mom? *Giveaway*
I have a confession. The last two months of 2010 I barely cooked at all. My workload pretty much tripled so I scrimped where I could and was just plain ol’ lazy in the kitchen.
Because of my neglect, we ate out more than I care to admit. And we felt it – in the waistline and in the wallet.
We’re now back on track, though. My husband even helped with our latest big cooking day. Taking the time to prepare and cook our meals for the month has really helped us stick to our “diet” so far. My husband even commented that he is totally reaping the benefits and will help me on every big cooking day! Trust me, this is the first time he’s ever told me that! Woot!
Now, let me tell you exactly what my husband does while I’m cooking.
He cleans!
If you’ve ever attempted once a month cooking you know your kitchen becomes a disaster! So, yes, he’s a saint and I know I’m lucky!!
Speaking of cleaning kitchens, Tricia and I were talking about how you don’t know much about your Diet Once A Month Mom menu writer yet. So, I thought I’d remedy that situation and tell you a little bit about myself.
- I’m married to my high-school sweetheart and we have a huge passion for marriages…specifically, making good marriages great!
- I’m a mom to a little guy with loads of personality! He never meets a stranger and he loves to “help” in the kitchen.
- The three of us live in a 740 square foot high-rise.
- I left the corporate world to stay home with my son, but somehow I ended up with several new random gigs (other than taking care of my little guy):
- I book events for a women’s speaker/author,
- I write Bible curriculum,
- I create Diet Once a Month Mom menus,
- I blog full time on iDreamofClean, and
- I just put together my first ebook!
When researching content for iDreamofClean, I came across several cleaning schedules, but none of them fit the way I live.
Since we all have different homes, schedules, and families, it seems to me that we should all have different cleaning schedules. So, I put together a plan that fits me. And you. Your family. Your home. Your lifestyle.
Create Your Perfect Cleaning Schedule will do just that…help YOU create a schedule thats perfect for you! You’ll find a list of things you should be cleaning, listed by category and room as well as frequency. All you have to do is input the items (only the ones you want to clean!) in your calendar or one of the templates provided for you.
It’s priced at $7.99 but use the code CleanNewYear until January 15 for a 50% discount. Get your copy here.
PLUS, you can completely recoup your cost and even make some extra money by becoming an affiliate. Each affiliate earns 50% of sales generated through your website, facebook page, twitter, etc. For more information, click here.
But, enough about me. I want to know more about you! So, I’m going to bribe you by giving one of you a copy of Creating Your Perfect Cleaning Schedule. (Just so you know, if you buy a copy now but win the freebie, your money will be refunded.)
Here is how you enter to win:

I am a mom of 2 and my husband is a truck driver. My goal for this year is to quit smoking and run a 5 mile race in Feb!
I am a homeschooling mother of an 8th and 4th grader. I have aspirtations to be a OAM mom but haven’t quite gotten there yet. I have used some of your recipes and have actually done a two week cooking day, but that’s as far as I ventured. One of the goals I have for my family this year is to be more active and to make heathier choices with our food…Not “diet and exercise” but just to better. Thanks for your website!!
I am decluttering at least one thing each day. It usually involves going out to the garage and finding something there. I am also employing the one-in, one-out policy.
My other goals are a photo-a-day project & to keep running (once I’m over being sick, that is!)

Interesting about me? Uh, my patience tolerance. I was in the bathroom for 2 minutes, came out to find a 2 year old twin had taken my frozen raw chicken out of the baggie on the counter and thrown it in the toy bin. I didn’t actually see which twin did it but I KNOW who did it! Boy, do I pray for patience! :-)

I do OAMC with MIL and two other ladies from my church-we each do 4 recipes and keep one of each for ourselves and pass the other three around so we each end up with 16 different meals for less than $100 per person out of pocket.
