I am the busiest mom taking care of my 10-month old and 11-year old daughters. One of them is trying to walk and the other one thinks she is already grown! Not to mention, I’ve been preparing for a 5k race (will be my first one) and I’m also in the process of settling my late Daddy’s estate. I miss him so very much! This has already been a difficult year, and it would be great to win the Michael Angelo’s contest to help with lunch and dinner solutions. Thanks for your consideration.
I am the busy mom of a 10-year-old. She has a busy schedule with choir and talent shows, and she will be attending middle school soon. I handle her schedule preparing for all of these events plus my schedule!
I am not the world’s busiest mommy, but I am busy. I homeschool my precious 5 year old, while trying to keep my 18 month old busy and out of her sister’s schoolwork! I help with nursery and AWANA at my church, and I coordinate the bimonthly coffee and donut fellowship as well. Of course, there’s the regular stuff of life – dishes, laundry, picking up, errands, etc. One meal a week would be so nice to not have to think about.
I am a busy mom of a 10 year old daighter named Nicole. Nicole not only plays fast-pitch softball, she also takes pitching lessons. Nicole is also active in her school’s Chorus group, as well as gymnastics. Nicole’s eagerness has also led me to volunteer for many school functions, such as field trips and school carnivals. I am also completing a 10 week Citizen’s Police Academy class, which offers information about local, state and federal agencies in a “Layman’s Terms” setting. I wanted to take this course because I’m planning on going back to school in August for a Criminal Justice degree. Did I mention I’m getting back into shape to start modeling again? Just another day in my busy life!
Busy…. what an understatement!!! I am a mom to 3 and a stepmom to 2, ages 7-20. My daughter, who is 18 has autism. I work 2 part time jobs as a home health aide, while attending classes to hopefully (someday) get my R.N. degree. If I am not working, studying, attending children’s school functions, or ferrying one child or another for the other parents’ visitation, then I am cooking (something FAST), or cleaning!!! I can’t tell you the last time we all got to sit down together and enjoy a meal! Maybe having these coupons would help us to slow down once a week and get together around a nice supper! (How nice would THAT be?!) Kudos to your blog and to Michaelangelo’s for a great giveaway idea!!!
I am a very busy “Grandma/Mom” of a 2 1/2 year named Cole. Cole keeps me very busy chasing and entertaining him as well as carrying on maintaining the household with the normal activites of life.. I am raising Cole on my own plus I work full-time.
Once a week meal provided for me and Cole is worth a ton of gold.
I am a working mom of a 3 year old little girl that keeps me busy. Also my husband works out of town during the week so its just me and her during the week. Keeps me very busy and hard to get off work, pick her up, and get home to make a good home cooked meal and then its time for bath and bed.
My mom is definitely the busiest mom that I know!! She has 11 children ages 23-3 (8 still living at home), last summer she went to school for Phlebotmy while getting ready to have a son leave for the philipeans (on a 2 year mission for our church) and coming out to South Carolina from Arizona for the birth of her first grand baby (my daughter Olivia) and she graduated with honors! Bringing kids to sports practices being at all of the meets/games, doctors and dentists appoinments, volenteering at the elemetary school, making sure homework and chores are done, getting them up and ready for school (2 in high school, one in middle school and some in elemetary!). She is always making meals for other families and watching other peoples children to give THEM a break! She has dinner on the table every night so the family can eat (and grow closer) together, her baking skills are amazing and she passes her knowledge onto her children while doing it all! She is the most amazing person I know, always giving and so selfless! Being a mom myself now (with only 1 baby!!) I don’t know how she does it without going crazy but she always keeps calm and has a smile on her beautiful face!! I love my mom and I’m so grateful for her example to me!
I am working towards my PhD while teaching full-time in a Title I elementary school. I have 2 children in college along with me, so we are totally broke! I am travelling to do presentations, couponing to live, and doing research all at the same time
I am not the busiest mom….. I would just like to win these to donate to my local food bank.
I am a new mom to a beautiful 5 month old baby girl! I am lucky enough to still be on maternity leave from my full-time job as a school counselor, but I am still working as a consultant for Premier Designs Jewelry and helping my husband begin his new career as an agent for New York Life. I honestly can’t say that I think I am the busiest mom because I think every mom is busy in her own way! But being a busy mom is truly a blessing!
All moms are busy moms. I am a working mother to two children ages 3 and 1! 52 free meals would be great!
Thank you for the opportunity. I think all moms are busy in their own ways!
I’d like to nominate my mom! She’s the busiest mom because she manages our household and works. She’s also handling all the estate issues and everything for my grandma, who passed away in December, and she took care of my grandma when she was alive. These meals would definitely help her out when preparing dinner for our family!
.-= AmyLauren´s last blog ..Painting the Town! =-.
i think all mothers are busy if you are doing the job right….with three kids a full time job and extra activities after school i am always busy…but so are all other mothers as well….we have a full time profession…:)
I am very busy with my two children. They are 4 and 8. Between school work, sports and dance class. We are always on the go. My husband is also deployed at the moment. These meals would make dinner time so much easier for us.
We are all busy!! I rarely cook since I am always in the car running to pick up one of my three boys. They will ask, “What’s for dinner?”, and I get a faraway look in my eyes, and they say, “Are we snacking again for dinner tonight?” I would love to tell them we are having Italian!!!
What mother is not busy there is always something to do and if I don’t do it no one will! I am a mother of one daughter and a wonderful husband!
I am a very busy mom. I have a 3 yr old son and a 19 month old daughter. They have both kept me very busy from day 1. I stay at home during the day with them . It has been challenging with them only 20 months apart. I work part time a couple of evenings a week until about 1 am. Then get back up with them early the next morning. This would really help me out a ton.
I have 3 boys; 7,4, and 2. I work 2 full-time jobs. I also cart the 4 and 7 year old to baseball atleast 3-4 times per week. I know I’m not the busiest, but my boys are my world and keep me on my toes!
This year has been a BUSY one! I just had my third BOY 6 weeks ago. The other 2 are 15months and just turned 3. For 2 weeks I had 3 under 3! These 3 boys keep me on my toes and I am still not fully recovered from delivery. My husband is finishing up his masters, so he is not always here at night. It would be wonderful to have something easy and quick to fix on those nights, or nights when we have something else going on.
I one of the busiest mom’s. I am a full time working mom with a 14yr old son and a 7yr old girl. Both kids play ball and my daughter does Girl Scouts. We have a ball game or practive every night of the week. When I get home we have to get homework done and dinner. I try to cook something everynight when we have ball to save money on not spending at the fields. I also want them to eat something healthy. My sons games we have to travel for. There are some nights that I have to get him to the field by 6pm and then take my daughter to her field. I am always going from one field to the next. Both are at different feilds in 2 different directions. Thanks for the chance to win. It would help alot.
this will be a great boon for my family because we eat out once a week during weekeday as we have 2 people working in the house hold. great giveaway.many thanks.
I am a busy mom of a 6 year old, 3 year old, and a 2 year old. I am a full-time nursing student and full time momma! My husband works full time and is also going back to school full time, so every night I am left to be the cook, maid, driver, refree, and problem solver! I have 3 picky eaters and a hectic schedule that is most often overwhelming…winning these meals for a year would be such a help to me financialy and would definately please my three babies! Thanks!
Any mom is a busy mom, I’m sure I’m not the busiest but am very busy running after my soon to be 1 year old (birthday is Mother’s Day) keeping hold of my 9 year old and school, sports, etc. And of course taking care of the house, dinner, couponing, the list goes on and on. If I win I would love to share my meals with some of the other busy moms I know!
I am a busy mom with 3 boys ages 12, 11 and 1. My husband works 3 jobs (1 FT and 2 PT) so that I can be home for the boys. That leaves me with doing all the running, cooking and cleaning. I also babysit during the day and have as many as 6 kids at one time. It would be so nice to have a meal already made and just needs to be popped in the oven so I can enjoy my family at night instead of being in the kitchen all the time!
I think I’m the busiest mom ever because my kids tell me so…and if it’s obvious to them it MUST be true!
I am a busy mom of 3 little ones. I stay at home and try to keep things running smoothly. My husband is a pastor and keeps a busy schedule so usually there are a couple nights a week that the kids and I are on our own for dinner. Between school, dance and sports it would be nice to not have to worry about cooking dinner at least one night a week!!!
I have a 6, 4, and 1 year old…I am very busy!!!!
I’m the busiest mom because I have two kids (2.5 and 10 mo) and work from hom. It is craziness juggling both. HELP! me with dinner please.
I’m almost too busy to leave this comment! I have a 6 year old, a 5 year old, and a 2 year old. I stay at home – clean houses on the side, sell on ebay on the side, help do work for my husband’s workplace at home on the side, grow my own veges, teach a ladies Sunday School class and I just got back from a mission trip to Kentucky and have more dirty laundry than clean! Help me Michael Angelo!!!
I am a mother of a 3 year old and a 5th grade teacher. I am a very busy mom, and I feel guilty not spending enough time with my daughter after such a long day at work. I would love to be able to skip cooking dinner one night a week and have an extra fun night with her!
Wow…1 free meal a week…that would be awesome. I am lucky to have a wonderful husband that does help out alot with the family dinners. But with an 11 year old in middle school and who plays tournament softball we are always at practice or spending our weekends at the ballfield cheering her on. With that said we seem to grab dinner at a drive thru which is not very healthy. I also have an 7 month old that keeps us on our toes; with him starting to eat real food soon we really don’t need to be going to the drive thru all the time. A home cooked healthy meal 1 x a week would be an great thing for our family. Thanks for everything you do!!
I am a busy woman taking care of a very energetic 4 year old, plus I am a youth leader at church where I try to keep up with over 30 kids. I also work full time and am trying to remodel a house.
Compared to others, I may not be the busiest mom but I FEEL like I am! My husband is a pastor, and we have 4 chidren – ages 7, 5, 3, and 9 months. Just trying to keep up with housework, grocery shopping, keeping in line with our budget, and carving out time for myself to exercise and stay sane is enough for me! 🙂
I don’t know if I am the busiest mom, but I am busy. I take care of my 2 year old son during the day and take care of all the house work. That alone keeps you busy! Then in the afternoons I go to my sister in law’s house and get her kids off the bus and do snack, homework, chores, dinner, and bath time. Then I have to head back to my house and feed and bathe my son and get him into bed. Then I wait for my husband to get home just so I can at least say hi before bed. Having one meal a week that I don’t have to worry about or that my husband can make for himself when I am not here would be fantastic!
Busy? Any person who takes care of a household is busy. Some have more people to take care of than others, but any mom is busy.
Me.. Work full time. Take care of my two wonderful boys. Take care of my niece that moved in with us a year ago. Take care of another niece everyday afterschool. I have a wonderful husband to help take care of. I coupon all the time. I am a room mom for one of my sons. Teach a class at church. Wow.. I am just tired writing down how busy I am. Better go get to work!
I stay busy during the week with a 4 month old little boy and a 13 month old little boy that I nanny for. By the time I get home at night I am beyond tired and dinner ends up being take out a lot more than I would like! One meal a week that I didn’t have to think about would be wonderful!
I am a very busy Mom with 6 kids — two still at home, one in Arizona, one in NYC, one in Ohio and one in Afghanistan — I work full time and have to drive my husband around since he had a stroke last year and cannot drive yet but thankfully was finally able to go back to work. I spend my free time trying to be active in my church and hopefully pay it forward on all of the help and blessings my family has been given. I also try to keep relationships up with all of my children even though they are spread out — not to mention the 13 year old and 10 year old still at home who are trying to deal with life in general and a brother defending his country a million miles away.
My sister Renee is the BUSY mother of four beautiful children: Kelsey (12), Kally (10), Jacob (6), and Luke (4). She works two part time jobs, is in college full-time, AND manages to cart them all off to softball practice, tee-ball practice, church activities, birthday parties, and the list goes on! One meal a week that she didn’t have to worry about would be FABULOUS!
I am a busy mom to 3, – 16, 13, 10 months. I work full time outside the home and 13 year old daughter plays fastpitch travel ball.
I love being a mom!!! Sooo busy with 3 boys. I homeschool and shuttle them to and fro. There are so many blessings being with these boys. Cooking is a joy, but sometimes there’s not enough time in the day for it all. These meals would sure come in handy!
While I may not be the busiest Mom ever, I do seem to stay VERY busy!! I have a 6 yr old daughter and a 4 yr old son. I volunteer two days a week at my daughter’s school. I shuttle my son back and forth to preschool 3 days a week. Our household is just busy, busy, busy! My daughter started softball this year so there are games at least 2 nights a week…not getting home until 9pm most nights. Having a free meal once a week would help out sooo much!! We live on one teacher’s salary while I am staying at home to raise our children. Money is always tight, but it has been totally workth it! While I may be busy….I am doing what I LOVE and that is raising a family who loves each other, supports each other, and cares for each other. I couldn’t ask for anything better to be “busy” with. The Lord has blessed me soo much and if busy is the way life has to be right now…well, we will just go with it!!
I know all mom’s are very busy, it just comes with the territory…. I am especially busy running my 2 boys to baseball…. We are at the ball fields 5 to 6 days a week and it is hard sometimes to try to cook meals and save money during ball season. This would really help out alot. My husband also works full time and is a part time student at night which adds to the madness. I also am in school to get my real estate license.. Needless to say the busyness is at is peak right now and will continue through the summer months… Thanks for the opportunity to enter this contest…. Kelle
All moms are busy! I am a very blessed mother of 2 girls ages 6 and 3. I stay very busy with them with homeschooling and taking care of their every need as well as keeping the house, laundry, cooking….. so on and so forth. An easy, free meal would be great to win! Thanks!
If you are a mom, then you are busy all the time. I love hearing everyone’s stories because I think we can all relate to each other.
I have a 15 month old son and i’m due in 8 weeks with my second baby boy. I work full time and my husband has two jobs. Oh, and we are also trying to sell our house! Things are always crazy so yummy, easy and free meals sound perfect right now!
I am a homeschooling mom of four wonderful girls ages 13, 11, 9, 7. I don’t want to be “busy”, so as much as possible I try not to be. I want to enjoy this time that God has given me with our girls. All that said, free meals would be great!
I am a very busy mom! I have a 4 year old and a 1 year old, and I run my own business from home. My husband works 60 hours a week, so all of the housework is my responsibility as well. I cook 3 meals a day for us because I want my children to grow up with better eating habits than I have. My father died in November, so I am also in the process of moving my mother here from Texas. My husband was laid off for 4 months until March, so we are on a tight budget and I must coupon every spare second we have…..would love to win to help make life a little easier!
I am a Mom to a happy and healthy 5 year old. I am a musician and work about 5 nights a week with the orchestra in my city as well as free-lancing. I am just finishing my Masters degree which has taken up every spare moment. I also volunteer at my daughter’s preschool teaching 14 children (ages4-5) free violin lessons. Today we are adding a kitten to the craziness! I think all Moms are so busy that it is hard to find time just to enjoy the moments that we share with our families. I would love to be able to make a weekly event out of our Michael Angelo dinners!
I share my wonderful life with my awesome husband, 5 beautiful girls and 5 handsome boys. I spend my days like a lot of other moms here, home schooling, cooking, cleaning, doing dishes & laundry, being a doctor, counselor, confidant, referee, veterinarian, taxi, etc. I volunteer at church in the cd duplication and distribution, sing on the praise team, lead the Children’s Choir, and a Life Group (A Penny Saved).
I was reluctant to enter this giveaway after reading some of the other posts. There are so many busy moms out there. As busy as I am, I can’t assure you I’m the busiest, you can be assured that it would be a tremendous blessing to receive this gift. However, I know that whoever wins will be grateful as well. I will be happy for whoever the winner is.
I’m not the busiest mom in the world but I feel like it some days. I’m staying home from work to take care of my 9 month old daughter. She never stops moving so I spend a lot of time keeping up with her. It’s the best job I’ve ever had.
I am a very busy mommy to a 3 year old little girl named Sophia. I am a single mom who struggles to find time to spend quality time with my little princess. After coming home from work I always feel in a rush to get dinner done and get her a bath and in bed before 8pm. This leaves little play time with her. Having a meal planned out for me once a week would help out tremendously!!!
I am a busy mom of a 7 month old baby boy!! In order to stay at home with him, I also take care of a 3 year old on a full time daily basis. I also watch a 9 year old and 12 year old when they are not in school. My husband works 14+ hour days, so my life is definitely a busy one! My baby and husband recently had surgeries 2 days apart, so on top of busyness, my life has been a bit more stressful than I’d like. Free meals would help a ton!
I am the busiest mom, caring for my 4yo son during the day and working as a waitress at night. I only get 1-2 nights a week with my family, which includes my hubby and my other son who is 7. In addition to work, I do all the shopping which means extreme couponing, which is another job in itself!!!
Is there a word that transcends busy? If so, that’s what I am. I rise before the sun most mornings cooking breakfast and packing lunches. Then I try to get our home clean and in order- before I leave for work as a housekeeper. Believe me, few things are as difficult as cleaning your own home and then cleaning someone elses. After work, I go to see my sick mother and grandmother, who fortunately live together, and run them on errands, and take them to doc appointments, and clean up for them, etc. Then it’s the mad dash home to get a hot home cooked meal on the table. I would never want to replace cooking for my family, but a weekly break would be wonderful! Thanks.
I am homeschooling my daughter for the eleventh year – she is graduating this month. So, teaching & filing the appropriate paperwork, planning graduation, keeping her college & scholarship info up to date, and keeping her motivated. I also spend time taking care of the farm (cattle, horses, chickens, vegetables, dogs…), studying one online course a semester myself to get my masters, praying for guidance and providence as to finding a job to pay for our portion of college tuition, leading a mixed & a women’s bible study, leading hospitality for our church of 250 souls +/-, serving homeless children in our community through a coalition of churches, keeping house & helping my beloved husband keep the finances straight for our family and our businesses. Sigh…
I am a full-time student working on my Bachelor’s Degree in English literature. In addition, I am a stay at home mother to a beautiful 17 month old little girl. Juggling my school work and my little munchkin is difficult, but our financial situation puts a lot of stress on us as a family. My husband works in a strictly commission based industry, and that often leaves us with loose ends and a stress level through the roof. With his incredibly unpredictable hours and my struggle to maintain a happy home and good grades, I think a worry-free dinner once a week would be the perfect addition to our family.
I am a busy mom of two boys ages 5 & 7. After two long years of going to school I am now a working mom. Both of my boys are involved in baseball on two different teams and one of them does boy scouts. With activities at church and with extra curricular activities there is little time for cooking.
I have one child, but I really like to help other people out. I feel that until I get more children, I like to give other mom’s a break. I hope that one day someone will do the same for me.
My life is SO busy! I have two kids, one 16 and one 13, and my husband. I’m on the PTO board, my husband and I are both on the Band Booster board and he is involved in Boy Scouts with our son. We try to eat together as a family every night but sometimes it’s crazy!!!!
i am a very busy grandmother helping my daughter raise her 2 children. I lost my job and needed help, so she moved in with me. She works 2 jobs and I am the official “do what needs to be done for the kids and the home”. It’s a great job that i wouldn’t trade for anything but any help I can get is a very good thing. These coupons would be wonderful.
I feel like I am the busiest Mom in America. I am proud to be the spouse of a US Navy Sailor, but unfortunately my husband’s job demands that he be away from home very often. I feel very often that I am a single mom to our child. A typical day for me is getting up at 5am, getting breakfast ready…getting a little exercise in…dressing my self and my daughter and getting her to day care then myself to work. I work about 50 hours a week as a Customer Service Manager, and I also go to school full time online for my bachelors in Accounting. What time I am not mothering, working, and studying I research here on Southern Savers, as well as donating my time to our local church (which I attend three days a week) and also to Kids Against Hunger. Most days I come home from work really not having the time, literally to cook a full meal. I rely on quick meals like the Michael Angelo’s products to feed my family. My husband jokingly says that I make a microwave oven into a gormet tool. I think that having to do this all on my own has really made me a great multi tasker, and meal options like Michael Angelo’s have made things so much easier for me. I definitely hope that you do consider me for this, and I could definitely use the free food.
Let’s see… before I dash off to my daughter’s school (which is 30 minutes away) for a field trip, then run by Lowe’s for a shelving project, then rush to exercise boot camp, then pick my daughter up from girl scouts and take her to dance, then run home to cook dinner, then pick her up from dance, help her with homework, and get her to bed, I’ll try to think of how I’m a busy mom! Luckily, my husband is picking our son up after art club this afternoon!
I am the stay-at-home mommy to a 7 month old and a five year old. My 7 month old is a spoiled rotten mommy’s girl, which I LOVE. My five year old is very active in tee ball, tennis, soccer, etc. In addition to taking care of my wonderful children (& hubby), I am also the chef, maid, driver, accountant, shopper, and counselor for the family. For the past two years, I have taught my son’s Sunday school class, which is ALL BOYS! I am also a crazy coupon lady and spend HOURS hunting, clipping, & filing coupons to save us money. I AM BUSY!!!!!
Every mom is busy but that’s why it is so rewarding. If I won the coupons I would suck up making dinner for the 52 nights a year and give the coupons to my mom who has Multiple Sclerosis. My dad left her because of it and she now lives alone in low income housing and only receives $500 a month to live on. Food can be tight sometimes for her even with the government assistance that she receives. A family size dinner would go a long way for her, probably at least 2 dinners and a lunch. It would be a great help and blessing for her.
Thanks
First and foremost, all moms need to be commended. Just keeping up with day to day life is a chore. Between getting yourself and your kids ready for school, going to work, getting groceries, getting home, cooking dinner, spending time with your family the day flies by. A contest like this is great because for 1 night of the week it would be nice not to cook dinner and jsut spend time with my family. Thanks to all the mom out there!
As a working mom of a 15 month old daughter, I am very busy spending time with her, working and keeping the house in order. I still have time to coupon though!!! 🙂
Working mom of a 5 month old. That says it all.
Busy, busy, busy! That describes me perfectly :0) I am a homeschooling mom of a third grader and kindergartner. In addition to that we are extremely active with our church, dance, piano and drama. To top it all off….I work part-time in the evening. Whew! Busy for sure but loving every minute of it!
I am a busy mom to two kids, I work 10 hour days and my husband works for the Fire Department for one county, as an EMT for another county, and is going to school full time. When he is working (48 hours at a time) it’s very hard for me to get our boys picked up get dinner on the table and get all the things that need to happen for our household and family to function. Having one dinner a week that I don’t have to worry about and plan for would be a great blessing.
I have two wonderful daughters (2yrs and 4 months). My husband owns his own marketing business and so has to work crazy hours in order to get it off the ground in this economy. This business is his dream, so I also work full time to help keep a reliable income coming in. On top of that his mom was recently diagnosed with brain cancer, so on top of taking the girls to and from daycare, working, doing the chores, and cooking the meals for my family, I also help take care of her and help with taking her to and from her cancer treatment appointments. Life is crazy and any help I could get would be a blessing. Thanks for your doing your giveaway!
I absolutely love being a busy mom, actively involved in each one of my children’s lives! This year has been our busiest ever with my oldest son(my baby, my first born) about to graduate from high school and go to college(five hours away from home, no less!) I homeschool my 13 year old daughter(miss independent and wonderful mom to little sister), and she attends classes at a classically based school every afternoon. My youngest daughter (pink, frilly, princess, ballerina)is in kindergarten, and is busy making me realize that 45 is not the new 30!!!! As I look back on this year with tears in my eyes remembering every college application, every soccer game, every piano and ballet performance, there is NOTHING in the world that I would rather have been doing than being the World’s Busiest Mom! As I face next year with a freshman in college, a first grader, and a fourteen year in the mix, I am thankful for each and every day with my three blessings!
I doubt that I’m the busiest mom in America, but I sure have my hands full! My fiancee and I have 5 children, ages 13, 4, 4, 2, and 1. He works full time while I stay home with the little ones during the day. I spend most of the day cleaning and fixing meals and another good portion of it couponing. Saving money has become my part-time (but feels like full-time) job. I’d love to have a 1 night break a week from fixing 2 or 3 different meals
I am a busy Mom of a teen who takes a rigorous course load in school (IB program) and belongs to several after school activities including Skills USA where he needs to travel to competitions in additon to his regular meeting. There are fund raisers to help with as well as homework. He also works on weekends for a bit of pocket money, so in addition to taking care of the house and the family’s basic needs, I’m always helping prepare him for a team function, fundraiser, homework, research, and even though he’s a bit older,just being his Mom.
We also have four furbabies (3 cats and 1 dog) who all happened to find their way to our home when they needed one. They believe they are people and make their own demands on my time.
I grow a garden including peach trees and oranges and am often found dehydrating or canning our fresh produce for future use.
I do love to cook, but very often, I forget during the day to eat, never mind prepare a nice dinner for the family. I actually need to prepare two dinners most nights as the teen comes home in the late afternon famished and eats before dinner is even ready. Have you ever seen a teenaged boy eat?
I am the mother of a 3 year old and a 1 year old. We are busy, busy, year roud but especially in the summer. I am a REALTOR, part time and stay home with our children. My husband travels with his job and we also own a rental business. Our children “work” with us alot! They tag along often when we are making deliveries, running errands for work etc. We only find time about twice a week to sit down to a “cooked” meal. Having a years worth of meals ready in the freezer, would be awesome! Thanks for offering this give a way!
My husband works 3rd shift and sleeps during the day while I work 1st… I pick up our 14 month old son from day care and head home while hubby wakes up and tries to get some sort of dinner started… More often than not it’s box macaroni or grilled cheese (his only “specialties”! lol)… it would be AWESOME to have at least one quality meal a week!! 🙂
I’m a busy wife. I worked full time while going to school and finished my degree two years ago and have continued to work full time while taking care of the house, living frugally by budgeting and saving, cooking and supporting my husband as he is going to college while working full time too. We plan on starting a family sometime soon in the near future, so I’m sure I’ll be a busy mom soon too!

I am a BUSY Mom indeed! This week’s schedule: 3 basbeball games, dance class, dentist, bible study, not to mention all the cleaning and meal making! My to-do list just never ends! I have 3 children (11, 2, 1) I have changed 4 diapers this morning and it’s barely 9 am. But I love my busy life, my beautiful children and my awesome husband. Doubly stressed but doubly blessed!
I’m down to 7 minutes left of enjoying my coffee while checking email and surfing the web now that hubby is at work and the kids are off at school. (Yes, I have to schedule my coffee!) Between everyday household chores of cleaning, laundry, and cooking, and shuttling my kids to and from school and to their various activities, including: soccer, gymnastics, dance, ice skating, horseback riding and tennis. Plus my oldest daughter has now started going to auditions which we get notified at a moment’s notice. Throw into that mix life’s unexpected, such as yesterday I discovered lice (yeah, I know) in my kids’ heads and spent about 6 hours nit picking, putting aside all the other responsibilities I had already planned for that day. So today I have twice as much stuff to do! Then there are the pets: taking them out for walks, not to mention going to get my own exercise. Aside from the occasional Sunday grilling, my husband does not cook and that responsibility is left entirely to me. How great would it be to have one of these meals every week for a year to pop into the oven while getting the kids their baths after helping them with their homework.
I am a very busy Mom with a full plate! I have two children, ages 8 and 4. I am a stay at home mother and wife, but I run my own monogramming and children’s clothing business from my home. My husband just recently decided to change careers and has gone back to school. He lives out of town Mon-Fri to attend the closest college that offers his new career field. That leaves me home to take care of our children, house and my business by myself during the week. It does make for some stressful weeks and some nights I struggle to find time to cook dinner. This would be very helpful to me and my family, thank you for your consideration!
I am a busy stay at home mom taking care of my 9 month old and 3 and a half year old. I’m teaching my oldest how to read and my youngest is exploring the world of crawling. When I’m not keeping my house up, laundry and dishes done and making plans for dinner, I’m out taking the kids to various doctors appts. and organizing my coupons to go out and get the best deals of the week. I always have to be back home by 5pm so I can get started on dinner, have my make-up on, hair brushed, and a sexy attitude for when my hubby gets home.
I moved away from my family 8 years ago. They only live a little over 100 miles away but its enough that I don’t see them as much as I want and we never have anyone to watch the kids nearby. We are strapped so we can’t pay a babysitter so we just rarely go out and we take the kids with us when we do.
I am posting this for my mom. She has 7 children. Two adopted and five of her own but the age range is only 7 years between all of my siblings. I am now 25 and the youngest is almost 19, almost all of whom still live at home. She still feeds and takes care of most of us and all of our significant others. She is also taking care of my father(who is still running his own business) who was recently diagnosed with colon cancer. She runs the preschool program at our church, and is involved in ladies ministries as well(she is catering a 300 person mother daughter event this weekend).
I have two teenagers.
Busy: That really is an understatement! I love my kids and I love my life, but it keeps me hopping! I have 2 children, ages 13 and 3. Obviously the three year old keeps me running nonstop and on Tuesdays, he even goes to gym class. My 13 year old participates in drama (last time she had a lead part) as well as participating in the award winning band at her school. A significant amount of time is spent running her and her friends to/from band and drama. I work full time as a speech pathologist in a school system and have a second job on the weekends working with developmentally delayed adults in the community. As soon as the summer starts and one job ends, then next one begins because I picked up an extra job for the summer. I must be crazy! 🙂
All mommies are busy, and my hats off to you all! I, too, am a mom of 3, wife to a great hubby. On top of my everyday mom and wife tasks, I am a full time student, finishing my education degree…free meals would be FANTASTIC for those days that get the best of me!! Thanks!
Wow! After reading some of the entries already entered, I think that there sure are a lot of busy Moms out there!
I can say that I am a busy mom, too..I work full time outside the home, as well as in the home. But the most important “job” that I have is to be a great mother to my 5yo son. We are quite involved with our church, so between home, work, church, and of course our family, there’s not much time for other things! This would be an awesome help to our family, as my husband just yesterday became unemployed. Thanks for this awesome contest!
I am a very busy mom of two and love every minute of it. I am the mother of a very busy 9 year old son and a soon to graduate high school seventeen year old girl. I work form home for a non-profit organization, and also just opened craft booth at a local co-op. I am super busy trying to keep it stocked! We are a very active family, little league baseball occupies all our free time right now, along with preparing for graduation and looking for a college and scholarship opportunities. My husband commutes up to 4 hours a day for work, so most of the day to day household duties are left up to me. I love couponing to save my family money, and try to get this done at night when everyone is in bed. What little time I have left I try to keep up with my blog, I love t share my ideas and stories!
I am definitely not the worlds busiest mom but, I am very busy. My husband and I work opposite schedules so our two kids don’t have to be put in day care. I spend my days teaching my 3 year old along with errands, cleaning, laundry and dinners before I go to work. I am also heavily involved in alot of volunteering at my daughters school. Winning these dinners would make my days before work less chaotic!
Wow! I am a busy mom. I have 3 children, 14, 10 and 7. I homeschool all of them, which alone keeps me busy. Then we have our afternoon activities of ballet 2 days a week, piano for 2, swim team for 2 ,4 days a week, soccer for 1, 2 days a week, 4-H club, home economics classes, math counts, youth group, Bible study, and I am the Vacation Bible School director at our church. Not to mention chasing cows when they get out of the fence. My husband has been working night shift for the last year–so all of the chauffeuring has fallen on my shoulders. On average I am driving well over 400 miles a week taking my children to their destinations. I do try to go the gym 3 times a week so I can get into shape, but it is hard to find time for myself. So a meal a week would be a great help.
I know I’m not the busiest mom. I am fortunate to be able to stay home with my kids. But I do have three busy kids age 1, 4 and 6. That one year old always keeps me on my toes. Since I stay home I work hard to make sure every penny is well spent and I do my best to help my family eat healthy. I’ve started making our whole wheat bread. I know life with continue to get busier as we add to our family and my kids get more involved in other activities.
I am not the worlds busiest mom, but there are days that I feel like I am. I have 3 daughters; 12, 11, and 3. I run the administrative side of my husband’s business, and I am currently looking for a job of my own.
Of course I think I am busy, but I know there are even busier Mommies out there. I have a 7-year-old, a 4-year-old, and an 8-month old baby who refuses to be put down – so I have to do everything while holding a baby. I am used to it, because the other two were the same way. My house has never recovered from that (ha). My oldest will be in dance classes 4 days per week this summer, the middle one 2 days per week. Also I volunteer with school, teach Sunday School, volunteer at church in general, do A LOT of work before/during/after our church’s Vacation Bible School, and on the side I love to bake/decorate cakes for special people. On top of that I play around as an independent beauty consultant! An easy meal would be a wonderful blessing! Thanks for hosting the giveaway.
I am a middle school teacher so I have 96 children on top of my own two boys. One prepared meal a week would be an unbelievable gift!!!
I give all the credit to all the mom’s we are all busy busy! With 3 kids of my own I know how hard getting dinner ready is. With a husband on 3rd shift and 3 kids to take care of and fix dinner and do homework is very trying sometimes. We love having family time! We always find things to do together as a family even if its going to the park. Times are rough with only one parent working so this would be an awesome thing to win!!! Thanks for letting me be able to be part of this giveaway!!!
I am the mother to 3 children, 6, 10 and 13 years old. There always seems somewhere we need to go: school, work, karate, church, parties, ball games, and so on. My husband and I both work jobs with weekend hours making life very busy for us. But, I know that all to soon my children will be grown and on their own – so I wouldn’t want to miss a minute of it!
Mother of Jack (4) and Anna (11 months), I know I am not the world’s busiest mom… I am a full-time stay at home mum and a part-time paralegal student. I love being able to stay at home with my kids.
I’m sure I’m not the world’s busiest mom but I do stay really busy. I homeschool, work from home, and of course take care of all the household duties including all the grocery shopping and cooking. Winning a meal a week would certainly be a huge help!
I may not be as busy as some here, but I definitely have my hands full. I’m the mom to 2, soon to be 3. My baby is due any day now, and my oldest is not quite 3 years old. When the baby comes, I’ll have a 34 month-old, a 17 month-old, and a newborn. My oldest is a very smart, VERY active little boy, my second is a little girl who spends her days following her brother and trying to keep up with him. My son recently started potty training and now my daughter has decided to follow. So, I have one basically trained, one just starting, and a newborn due any day. I typically only get about 6 hours of sleep, and then spend my day trying to keep up with them and keep up with all the household responisbiblities.
Love to cook and never have enough time. I love your dinners they are so close to my own home cooking the kids enjoy them. I am a mom of two teenagers and we are always on the move, with sports games and practice during the week and tournaments on the weekend. During the day, I take care of 6 ..infant – toddlers that keep my hands too busy to cook for my own family. I would love to win this gift for my family.
I am a homeschool mom for 2 teenagers and step mom to 3 teenagers. Our house is busy. Sunday, our day of rest, is crazy!!! Up at 6:30 to make sure everyone is fed dressed and smiling for early service at 8. The church is only 15 minutes away, thank goodness. Back home by 12:30, we stay late to serve in kid’s church and nursery (and most of us love it). Feed everyone, take a quick nap, then back to church at 3:30 for Student Drama and choir. It is a good thing they feed them a snack. Prayer service, then discipleship…home by 9pm. Then there is prep work for school the next day, pack my husband’s lunch and dash to bed to begin a week of running….We sure could use a free meal, that is quick and easy: )
I work at a middle school and have 4 children who play year round sports. We are extremely busy! Last week my husband and I watched 7 soccer games!! I love my children and I do love the chaos that comes with having children! I would love to win this prize…
Well, anyone with the title of “Mom” is definitely a busy lady. I am one of those busy ladies because I am a mom of three homeschooled kids. And am privileged to be able to stay at home and do that. Also, my youngest son is a type 1, insulin-dependent diabetic, so finding healthy and convenient foods is a must in our household. I also teach English to Hispanics on the side and am very active in my church where I serve on the worship team. I feel blessed to be able to have all these roles as a wife and a mother. And want to try to be the best I can be! Thank so much for this opportunity.
Wow! I am pretty sure that somewhere in the definition of the word “Mom” in the dictionary is the word “Busy”. I am sure I am not the busiest mom in the world, but I am definitely busy. I have a 10 year old son and a 9 year old daughter. Oh and a husband, dog, and two turtles. LOL (They count too, right?) Between them, cleaning, cooking, and taxiing them all around there is never any ME time, but that is part of the definition of MOM too. I love my family and I love being a MOM!
I stay busy trying to balance being a mom, wife, and also take care of myself. Busy but blessed.
Oh we’re all busy, aren’t we? I wouldn’t dream of proclaiming myself as the busiest! But I’ve got 3 little ones, 6,3, and 1. We have our hands full in the most fun way possible, and we’d LOVE a year of dinners. 🙂
I think everyone Mom is deserving! I am a Mother of five and wife to the greatest husband! At this time we could use the meals. We are from NC and will be traveling to John Hopkins in June for a complicated surgery my husband needs. ( Whipple Procedure). My dayghter Allyson 19 will be caring for our two younger children and I know she would appreciate the premade meals! We will be in Maryland for at least three weeks! When we get home these meals will be a blessing to me also as I care for my husband and kids. Even if i don’t win will you pray for Robert and I. Thanks so much… Teri
I am a pretty busy mom. I have a two year old who keeps me on my toes. I also work full time and my husband works very long hours. And, we just purchased a new house which we are doing some renovations on ourselves!
I’m sure every mom is the busiest! I know my 3 kids and husband keep me pretty busy. I have a 13 year old, 8 year old and a 17 month old that keep me on my toes. I’d love to have michael angelos at least once a week for a year. That’s a huge break for me!
Being a mom equals busy, and I still don’t understand where the time goes!
I am a busy mom to a 10 month old little boy who is VERY active!! I am currently a stay-at-home mom, but he is definitely a full time job! I take time to play with, teach, and love on my son each day in addition to the feeding, changing, bathing, etc. While being a mom is a busy job, it is also the most rewarding! I wouldn’t trade one day of my hectic life with my son for anything in the world!
I am the busiest mom at the moment. I have a six year old, 3 year old and 15 month old. The oldest has a ballet recital coming up, birthday coming up and garage sale scheduled for our neighborhood…all on the same day!!! Not to mention the following week my mom (five year breast cancer survivor) is finally finishing the last of her reconstructive surgery. I am blessed and would be even more blessed with some extra healthy meals!
Wow. I can relate to alot of these stories.I am a mother of five and also raising two of my granchildren. Time is something we all need more of. Work, school, kids activity not to mention keeping up with coupons to save all i can.I’m up everyday by 5am and don,t get to lay back down til 11pm. Free meals would save me time and money something i dont have much of. Thanks and good luck to everyone.
I”m not going to go on and on about why I’m the busiest Mom. We’re all busy! But I do love Michael Angelos!
I have a 5 1/2 year old and a 19 month old. They are never without me and I plan to school at home starting in August. I believe it doesn’t matter if you have one child or 10, done right– being a mother is a busy job that never ends.
I don’t think there are any Moms that are not busy. My busy days consist of caring for a 2 year old son and working full time between three different locations, 2 of which are an hours drive apart. I would love to win this contest!
I have to admit I feel like I am the busiest. I have 8 boys and 1 daughter. During the spring all the boys play baseball. That alone can put me under for the rest of the year.
.-= Cindy Rollins´s last blog .."A Voice in the Wind" by Francine Rivers? =-.
I am busy but in a very good way. I have 6 children, 5 are boys and they love to eat so a quick meal is a really good way to keep them happy.
My sister is super busy being a new Mom. She gave birth to her first child a few months ago (after almost 20 years of marriage)! She is an awesome new Mommy and I know she would very much appreciate this. She takes care of her baby, keeps her apartment clean, cooks for both her and her husband, handles the family budget, does the shopping, is an expert at coupon-ing, is the heart of our entire family and is a loving committed wife! I know she would be ever so grateful to receive this glorious gift in order to free up some of her time!
I may be the busiest mom in the history of busy moms. I have 6 kids (2 adopted, 2 step, 1 birth, and one we just got last summer, sort of a foster kid). My hubby lost his job last summer, and then spent 32 days in the hospital between just before Thanksgiving to Christmas Eve. I’ve taken on 2 part-time jobs in addition to my full-time teaching job to make ends meet. Between hospital visits, working with my special needs kids, keeping up the family home, etc., it can be too much sometimes. Winning dinner for a year would be great, but what I really need is PRAYERS, lots and lots! Keep on smiling, y’all.
My friend is a mom of 2 5&7 and working. She is very busy that she doesnt even get time to talk to me at times. And she helps with her husbands business also. so i want to give her some thing so that she can have a little bit of time for herself.
I am the busiest mom of a 14 month old girl. I also watch my 9 month old nephew and 3 month old niece as well! with all of the bottles, burps and diaper changes, I have my hands full!
I think the definition of a MOM=BUSY!! There is no down time, and I am on the job 24/7. Especially when sport season starts……I feel like we are never home. This would be awesome to have and it would definitely make life a lot easier.
I am not the worlds busiest mom, but I am VERY busy.
I just opened my own small business. It is very hard to balance opening a business, a very active 9 year old and having my sick mother in law move in with us.
I easily work 20 hours a day, and food is not something I cook to much of anymore. It is one of the things that has gone on the back burner.
I love my family and business and would not give anything for them! I have been very blessed.
I am a very busy Mom because I help run our two businesses. My husbands Home Repair and our campground. I also homeschool our only child. Spring is very busy getting ready for the season of campers with yard work and other spring cleaning in the park. I could certainly use a way to cut down on the time to prepare our dinner.
What a fantastic prize for a well deserving mommy! I am the stay at home mom of a 5 year old girl and extremely busy 23 month old boy. If keeping up with the 2 of them is not enough, keeping up with housework, running errands, school activities, and making sure everyone is clean, fed and dressed should be. In addition I am also trying to build my Stampin’ Up business so to not have to make just one meal a week would help an enormous amount!
So busy! From reading we all are! Would love to win and cut down on my busy-ness! 🙂
Mother of 3, teacher, tutor, softball coach, husband is paralyzed & in a wheelchair. Too busy to type any more.
I’m a full time nursing student & the mom of 3 kids. Between my class work/tests, my kids’ activities, & just normal household duties (cleaning, laundry) I barely even have time to eat myself.
No time to write! I’m at work, shopping date with girlfriend during lunch hour, making calls to customers in my home party business in the 10 min. (each way) drive after I’ve dropped her off at school, and on my way to get her. Husband working nights and spending every waking moment studying for real-estate license. Trying to grow my biz so I can be a stay at home mom!
Wow! This has definitely been an extremely busy year. We have 3 kids – one in high school and two in middle school and we are keeping a Vietnamese exchange student this year. One daughter swims and the other daughter plays basketball and soccer. Our son plays football and runs track. My husband took on an extra job this year and I teach 2nd grade full time. In between all of that my mother comes to stay with us off and on and may come full time. So, life is busy and good!!!
I am a stay-at-home mom of 3. My husband works out-of-town during the week and I am home with a 7 year-old boy, just turned 4 girl and 13 month old boy. We are busy during the week with school, baseball and church activities. I don’t care if you are home all day or not, dinner, bathtime, brushing teeth and reading stories must be done in a matter of hours in the evening. So stressful when the bedtime is all on me. It sure would be wonderful to not have dinner to worry about!
Between work and family, I stay busy! My husband and I both work 45+ hours a week… with the “family time” we do have, we hate to use it on cooking! We’d much rather spend the time with our 8 month old bundle of joy! Our son has definitely changed our lives… he’s made us appreciate the value and importance of family! In addition to work and family, I have added exercise back into my life! My son LOVES jogging (strolling!) with me and enjoying the great spring air!
I am a super busy mom, and I LOVE it!!! On top of all of the typical busy mom activities (teaching, disciplining, playing, laundry, cooking, cleaning, etc…), I also lead worship for women’s conferences, lead the vocalists in our church’s praise team, host a weekly mommy/baby playdate at my home, host a weekly family friendly game night at my house, and run my own cake decorating business. Whew! I could use a minute to myself. It would be great to have a simple dinner that’s also good for us once a week. Thanks for this opportunity!
Busy….or controlled chaos? I have an eighteen month old son who is nothing short of being on a professional wrestling team. We have a little bit of a communication problem and instead of talking (which he has yet to do) we scream wild and loudly to get what we want. When I am grabbing vases and anything else that is in the path of the tyrant, I am trying to mommy my four year old daughter.I also work as a cardiac recovery nurse-you talk busy! My patients come out straight from open heart surgery and we get to do all the magic to make sure they continue to do well. I do 12 hour shifts so I am gone from 6am to after 7 on workdays. I am also working out like crazy and training for some upcoming bike rides. Dinner, free and easy would be a fabulous addition to our household!
I am very busy with three daughters, ages 1, 14, and 17. The 14 year old plays softball and basketball, and the 17 year old plays basketball. They are both currently playing on travel teams for both sports, and frequently play in different places on the same day. Running between the games while trying to keep a 1 year old pleased is a daunting task, but so far I’ve managed. I keep young children at my house during the day, so I have to run around trying to keep the house clean when I have a chance to be at home. A quick meal would be a great chance for me to have a few minutes of down time at night.
I am a very busy mom to four amazing daughters! We love our church family and the many fellowship and service activites we have with them. We homeschool our children, so I am their teacher. All of our girls play fast-pitch softball—three Rec. Dept. teams and three travel teams—with Daddy as the head-coach of two of those and assisting with one and Moma keeping the stats,helping in the dug-out &organizing refreshments. Maintaining such a busy schedule, as well as homemaking,gardening, and pet care—two horses, a dog and a fish.Meals-in-a-hurry are often needed, and these Michael Angelo’s meals would be a blessing and treat!—-sound SO yummy too!!!
I have 3 kids ages 11, 7 and 3. Need I say more?
Stay at home homeschooling mom of four here – between school, church, a home-based business, preschool, Bible study, 4-H, local homeschool group, couponing, cleaning house, doing laundry, etc. etc., I’d say I’m pretty busy! Dinner on the table without worry would be GREAT! Of course, there are lots of families I know that I could also share coupons with and bless their families as well – single moms, newly unemployed, etc. etc.
Thanks for this opportunity!
I am a happy wife and mother of 3 children – all under the age of 6. I work full-time 30 miles from home while my husband watches the kids and works toward his doctorate. On the off hours I am the keyboard player for our church praise team, independant sales rep for Avon, reading tutor for a local school, take the kids to their 2 different soccer practices and games, try to keep a clean house, all while being very involved in church Bible studies and service needs. It is a great life, but very busy!
I am very busy… like every other mom. I have a 3 yr. old, 2 yr. old, and 13 week old. Happy Mother’s Day to all the other busy moms out there.
I’m a busy mom of two girls. I think that if you are a mom and you’re doing it right then you’re going to be busy!
I am busy!!!! I have two boys 1 and 4. I am a full time mom that works a 6-4:30 job and when i come home my job of being a mommy starts. My husband works third shift so i am pretty much a single parent until the weekends. I wouldnt give up anything in my life. I enjoying being busy because it makes me thankful for what i have.
I am a very busy mom. I teach high school. I am the president of the Show choir organization and vice president of the choral program. I teach about 35 ladies in the older ladies Sudnay School class. I am the president of our WMU group. I have three schildre. One son is graduating form UNC on Sudnay and getting married. One son plays soccer and my daughter plays volleyball and is in chorus and show choir. I They require a chauffer. I love my chidlrena dn an greatly involved in their lives and in the life of our church. My husband is a princiapl and we are are alwys cooking, catering and doing for his students and staff. I love my life and tryiing to save time and money.
I am a busy mom fo 3 year old boy/girl twins. I work full time 40+ hours per week and also have returned to college.It would be very helpful if I could have one free night from dinner to spend a night enjoying dinner with my family, good quaility time.That as we all know is few and far between.
I am truly a busy mom! I have three boys 7,4,2 who go full force ALL the time!:) My husband works full time (with a very unpredictable traveling schedule) as well as goes to school full time. It is sometimes hard juggling everyone’s schedule! While I am a “stay at home” mom I also work from home. I design and hand make custom children’s clothing that I sell through trunk shows and through my website. As a family we make dinner a priority- that is our time to get together and catch each other up on what is going on- this would be a great stress reliever for all of us!
I can’t say I’m the busiest mom but I stay pretty busy. I have 3 girls, 4 year old (step daughter), 3 year old and 1-1/2 year old. I work full time M-F and also run my mother’s party rental business (which typically occupies my weekends). My day starts at 6am and doesn’t usually end till 10-11pm. I work close to home so I use my lunch breaks to get chores done around the house while the girls aren’t home, it’s usually pretty hectic but we manage.
I have a 4 yr old, 3 yr old and 1 1/2 yr old and babysit a 2 yr old, so needless to say I stay busy! What a great giveaway!
I’m the busiest because I’m the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker…besides being a taxi-cab driver, a banker, a medic, a psychologist, a housekeeper and a laundry service.
This would help my life (mommy to a 6, 4, and 2 yr old) be a little less busy! 🙂
Busy mom of a 18 year old, a 54 year old (grins), one puppy and one older dog who is terrified of the puppy. I do work outside the home but manual labor is at the house 🙂 Had my thyroid removed for thyroid cancer last year so the energy is not there but I try to keep up with all of the family. A once a week meal would be a fantastic treat! Thanks so much for the chance.
Any & every mom is busy. I am busy at school teaching my Kindergarten kids. I then go home to relax with my 7, 4 and 2 year old biological children.
It’s like I have TWO families:))))
I am a mother of a 2 year old. I work a full time job as a teacher. I sell Avon and decorate cakes out of my home also.
i am a busy mom because i stay at home with my 2yo and 1yo daughters. we are always doing something – couponing, shopping for deals, gardening, hiking, baking, cleaning, and attending various playgroups and activities. our days are packed with tons to do and having one meal a week already prepared would be wonderful! thanks for the opportunity.
Busy? There’s a running joke between my hubby and I that I sit on the couch and eat BonBons all day. Anyone who is a mom knows that’s not true. I am a mom, doctor, nurse, chaeuffer, couselor, chef, maid and many more occupations rolled into one. We moms are hard workers, and free meals for a year would ease the burden of food preparation. I would be thrilled to win this.

I’m a busy mom of 3 boys and 1 girl. My oldest son graduates High School on the 21st, my 2nd oldest son will be a SR next year, my youngest son attends speach therapy weekly and starts pre-k in the fall and my daughter just turned 2 last month and we are working on potty training. Having an easy night meal once a week would be nice on the routine and pocket book!
I thought I was the busiest mom until reading some of the other stories on here.
I am the busiest mom because we have just recently moved, are still getting settled, new home, school (kindergartern – so new journey!) new church (where my husband works), new neighborhood, new city – so much to learn! Then I am trying to rebuild my 3 part time businesses, and work part time for my husband at the church – and still have a toddler at home! Looking forward to a day that is filled with nothing so I can sleep in and then take a nap!
A foster mother of at the least 5 children under the age of 4 speaks for itself. I am a maid, a cook, a therapist, a taxi driver, and mommy to many. Everyday we are on the go with appointments wether they are therapist appts., medical appts, or dance class and gymnastics. I have to be available 24/7 for everybodies needs. I love at the same time making time for myself at the gym. I am a busy mom like all other moms. We are changing more then diapers, we are changing little lives. God Bless!!
Hello all…busy, busy, busy…yep that’s me:) I am currently pregnant (due Dec 26th) and have two chldren (boy, 6 and girl, 8). My husband is military and I am a teacher, So not only am I a parent for 2 and 1/2 children but I have over 600 children that I am a “mother” to all week, I am busy at work being a mom to 600 children, not only educating them, but teaching them daily, everyday Lifeskills. After teaching all day I come home to 2 very active children and later a very active solider 🙂 I am a very busy and proud teacher, wife but most importantly a mom to all…:) God Bless all moms…
I am a busy mommy!!!! I have a 13 yo daughter who is involved in LOTS of activities from church, piano lessons, track and now trying out for pep squad. I run her around everyday after school and on saturdays!! I love it and would not trade it for anything!!! I also have twin 17 month old boys!! They are at a very busy stage right now!!! They were born premature at 25 weeks so we endured a long 12 weeks in the NICU which was hard for my daughter she could not see them until they came home so we juggled seeing the boys and taking care of her and keeping up with her school work. My husbands job keeps him away alot usally two or more times a week so it is just me and the kids! He is also in the Army reserves so one weekend a month he is also gone!! But we love that he is supporting our country!! So I feel like a single mom at times!! He will be away for 4 weeks this summer for military and 4 weeks at the beginning of fall so here goes nothing but mommy can do this!!! i beleive I am a very BUSY mom and would love to win this!!!
where to begin! I’m a God-loving, church-going, home-school teaching, teenage-girl guiding, married daughter missing, grandson spoiling, husband keeping, college-class studying, career building, home-making, coupon clipping, dog-walking, meal cooking, laundry folding, house cleaning busy mom! It sure would be a blessing to have one meal a week taken care of for a while!
I would love to win the coupons to share with my entire family. Between my children, brothers, sisters we are all struggling. Not one single family member has both parties working. Looking for jobs all day feels to me harding then getting up and going to work. At least you have a pay check and feel you have done something useful. We all have children and are so busy. If you pick me I will bring so much joy to a huge family that is having such a hard time. I would be blessed to be pick So my promise is I would share to help out many busy mommies!!!!!!!!! please pick us!!
I really do feel like the busiest mom on Earth! I have 9 month old triplets, one boy and two girls, that I take care of full time. Of course there’s the laundry to take care of for the triplets, not to mention mine and my husband’s laundry. Then feeding the babies, changing diapers, attempting to get them down for a nap, play time with them, teaching them to sit up, teaching them to crawl, cleaning everyone’s dishes. Taking the babies out to the park, playdates with other babies, church, doctor appointments and visiting the grandparents. Then there is the regular housework I try to keep up with on top of the baby stuff. I also teach a sunday school class that I prepare for each week and am the youth leader for the church. And last but definitely not least, I use southern savers to try and get the best deals I possibly can, so we don’t have to take a loan out on getting groceries.
I am a busy mom of one bubbling 2 year old and full time nanny to my 4 year old nephew. We make it a priority to eat dinner together and the kids are hungry and ready to eat by 5pm, adults do not get home until 6 so it important to have dinner ready and ion the table ASAP! Sometimes it is nice to have something in the freezer to help the meal move to done faster! I love my “job” and wouldn’t trade it for anything!

I am a busy mom of 2 children (4 and 2.) I’m mommy, nurse, chef, taxi driver, accountant, housekeeper, laundress, coach, handy-woman, teacher, veterinarian, etc etc! My husband works long hours and I coordinate everything on the homefront, volunteer at church, go to school part-time, and research curriculum to prepare to homeschool my son in the fall.
I don’t know if I’m the busiest mom, but I have two typical boys, ages 5 and 3 and a one year old daughter with Down syndrome and a congenital heart defect. On top of that, I am starting a Down syndrome support group in my area and I am in charge of all the children’s sunday school (Primary) classes at church. Between all the various doctor’s appointments and therapies for my daughter and the usual soccer, piano, preschool and school activities plus regular day to day life and my volunteer work–life is pretty hectic! A night of not having to worry about what to feed my family sounds fabulous!
I am a busy SAHM of 3 – 9 yrs, 4 yrs and 2 yrs. My children have lots of medical problems, so we are CONSTANTLY at the dr’s – specifically at MUSC children’s hospital which is an hour away. Between that, baseball/teeball, homework, school, we are constantly on the go! These meals would help us out a ton!!!
A busy mother of 4 energetic boys. There is always a house to clean, laundry to do, food to prepare and mother’s list goes on & on….. I homeschool and I am a secretary. I have wished many times that my days would be 6hrs longer or that as a mother I wouldn’t have to sleep. With my boys huge appetites it seems like I am always cooking. One meal a week sounds wonderful!
Since my husband of 15 years passed away at 41 from colon cancer, I have become extremely busy working three jobs to support my son Noah, who will be 5 in July and my daughter Jasmine, who is 3. My biggest struggles are having enough money to pay the mortgage and keep food in the house while paying all of the other bills. With the way the economy has been, I know I am not alone in this struggle.
I am a working momof one and I am busy but nowhere near the busiest mom I am sure. I would love to win and share with my friends who are busy moms themselves. Thanks for doing this!!
Mom’s never get the credit we deserve. I hardly know anyone who does not engage all of their time and effort in taking care of their family. I divide my time between my 10 and 14-year-old boys and their activities. Right ow, that means one or two baseball games and/or practices 6 days per week. I work part-time as a Catholic school counselor. I volunteer at 2 different schools (besides the one where I work.) We attend church 40 minutes from home and drive there twice on Sundays – in the morning for worship and Sunday school, and in the afternoon where I am a youth leader for our youth group. Throw into that monthly all-day mission work building houses for the poor, 2 mission trips each summer, and taking the time each day to make sure my family’s minds, souls and bodies are nourished. Oh, and did I mention that my Grandmother has Alzheimers and needs very special care. I am sure that there are more deserving families than mine, but I would treasure the time away from cooking each week to spend time with my family! Thank you for this gift that you are giving a family – and may the blessing return to you 100-fold!
I am a mother of a three year old and a fourteen year old. I also work full time as a mammography technologist. So I drop my three year old at preschool, go to work all day, pick her up, pick my 14 year old up at relatives, go home to cook dinner, then help older one with homework, and get younger one ready for bed. So with hearing about patients menopausal complaints and old age, a three year old’s constant chatter, and a teenager’s sassiness. I am always busy doing something!
What mom isn’t busy? We all have the daily task of washing, cooking, cleaning, making sure homework is done, house is picked up and everyone has everything they need for the next day. On top of all of the motherly duties I work full time as an accountant 40 mins from my house. There are people who drive a lot farther, but it cuts out 80 mins of my day to be with my kids. We are closing on a much needed bigger house on this coming Friday. We were a family of 5 staying in 1002 sq ft with only one bathroom. Needless to say we had to have more space. I have a 3 year old who is on the move 24/7 until her eyes shut at night, an 11 year old stepson, and a 23 year old down syndrome stepdaughter. Whew life is busy for all of us who are privelaged enough to be MOMS. Thank you God for allowing me to raise Your daughters/sons.
Well let’s see — I have a demanding full time job, plus a part time job teaching driver improvement. I have a 16 month old son who is getting to the stage of literally running everwhere, throwing tantrums when he doesn’t get his way, pulling his diaper off, climbing onto EVERYTHING, and generally just running wild. I have an 11 year old step daughter who is a soccer maven, and a husband that plays basketball. I fly home from work, barely have time to eat something before it’s off to soccer practice, then to hubby’s basketball game. In between all of this — I have started a garden. It’s so much fun to check on it everyday and see what seeds have started to come up.
My sister is the buisiest mom. Seriously! She has an 18 month old daughter and she and her husband just bought a dental practice. She not only manages the practice and works as a hygienist, but she’s also working on a complete remodel of the practice!
I think we are all busy moms. I feel that I am one of the busiest moms because I have two little one. One boy who is 18 months and one girl who is 3yrs old. Neither one of them are in school yet so between clipping coupons, running errands, taking surveys, polls, mystery shopping, rebates, ect I still have to keep them entertained. Those are just some of things I do to keep our household afloat. I do not work at this point and my hubby works 50 hrs a week as well as goes to school full time. His job is very demanding and that is how I eliminate some of the pressure. We also share one vehicle and we are always rushing around to get from here to their. I didnt even mention the everyday housework!!! I believe we all deserve this prize but I hope I win!!!!
Thanks
Busy is the complete description of my life for the last 17 years! We were foster parents for 12 years, caring for a total of 15+ children during that time….we adopted 4 of those children and added one biological along the way! because we didn’t feel “busy” enough, we chose to host two exchange students – one from Finland and one from Brazil. They are my “adopted” daughters too!!! During those times, I started a real estate business and my husband went back to school to get a teaching degree. UPDATE to now…..we currently have 4 of our kids at home – 19, 15, 13 and 9….I homeschool the two youngest and bartend 3-4 nites per week for extra cash. The kids are all in extracurriculars – soccer, karate, wrestling, high school and rec softball. I AM ‘mom’s taxi’! My oldest daughter is deploying to Kuwait and is currently in training maneuvers….so we are also raising our 3 y/o granddaughter and 1 y/o grandson…..so I will be adding one more to homeschooling in the Fall! My husband’s school recently cut his salary due to budget constraints….so a free meal once a week, with extra mouths to feed, would be GREAT! We love our CRAZY-BUSY lives and wouldn’t change a thing….God Bless!
I think ‘mom’ and ‘busy’ go hand in hand! I am a mother to a 5yr old, 3 yr old, and 9m old sons and a wife to my husband, Ben. My husband has 2 jobs that he works during the week and I work as a nursery nurse at the hospital on the weekend nights. One of the few times we are together is dinner time, and how wonderful would it be to have more time to spend together!!! Or better, put two in the oven and have friends over:)
Once my day begins, I am constantly on the run. I have six kids (ages 11 mths, 7, 13, 14, 15, & 16). My husband works out of town during the week and is only home on Saturdays and Sundays. The kids go to 3 different schools, so it take me an hour every morning and an hour every afternoon just to drop off and pick up from school. During the day, I am washing laundry (at least 2 loads every day), boiling bottles, cooking, cleaning, shopping, etc. Once school gets out, I am racing to soccer, swimming, band, church, etc. I feel like a taxi service. I also work 20 hours each week (on the weekends). I am constantly on the run and would LOVE to receive these meals. Please pick me!!!
I am a very busy mother of a 5 month old baby boy. He has suffered from colic so I am going through a hectic time right now. I work a management job that requires me to be away from home 45 to 50 hours per week. I workout daily, training for a 1/2 marathon! I still find time to play with my son in the evenings. He doesnt sleep through the night on a regular basis so I am an exhausted mommy as well 😉
I cook, clean and do laundry everyday so a break once a week from cooking would be awesome!
I am a very busy mom of 2 beautiful girls, Addy (10) Morgan (6). I am a full time (plus some!) Store Manager of a large retail chain that provides clothing and accessories for children. I am also a full time wife and crew chief for my husband’s racing team. I spend all of my time between race tracks, gymnastics meets, working, traveling for work purposes,cooking, cleaning, taking care of the pets,supporting my family and the list goes on and on. I constantly look for things that make dinner a little quicker for us. We love Michael Angelo’s meals and having something to make life a little easier for me once a week would simply add to the many blessings we already have in life. And give me a few minutes of down time at night!!
I am a super buys mom of four boys ages 9, 6, 3, and 1. I have one in diapers and one is potty training. My two oldest are playing baseball so quick and nutritious dinners before practices/games are a challenge. My husband works in law enforcement and routinely gets called out which leaves me on my own. Soooo, I would love a little help! Thanks!
My mom is the busiest and best mom!!! She is a mother of 4 and grandmother of 4. She is a full time ESL teacher and is very involved at church. She also does Bible studys at home and never says no to anyone in need. She is an amazing cook and keeps the house clean and tidy. No big deal you might say. Yet the kicker is that she does all of the above while being completely blind. It’s by God’s grace and her love for us that she does all that she does. She definitely deserves this and so much more!!!!
I am the busiest mom because I have to VERY active toddlers running around. We live in the country and I cook all our meals at home. With a three year old and a two year old under foot this is no easy task. Have quick and delicious meals for my family would be a real treat!
I love being a stay-at-home mom and can’t complain. However, the housework never ends and cooking dinner on top of that can be trying. My husband is a very picky eater so it is a constant battle coming up with something he will eat! Hopefully my son will not take after him in that way!
I’m not the busiest mom but what mom isn’t busy with taking care of kids, family and the house!
I have 2 kids under the age of 5 and my husband is finishing grad school (loans loans and more loans), which means we are moving across this country and I’m up to my ears in packing, cleaning, etc, Once we get there I’ll reverse the process…cleaning, painting, unpacking. Not having to make dinner would be a blessing.
I am a busy mom of 3 boys; I work and homeschool. This would be such a blessing for my family. Thanks for the opportunity to win:)
I am entering for my sister. She has FOUR children, ALL WITH SPECIAL NEEDS (one has down’s syndrome, one has an autism-spectrum disorder, one has Juvenile Rheumatoid arthritis, and the other has ADHD). Not only that, but she is currently the breadwinner for the family, just scraping by since her husband lost his job and decided to go back to school. She works during the day (while the kids are at school) to tutor and work with other children with special needs. She is very active in fighting the system to make sure her child with down’s syndrome gets the very best that she can, and from the moment she was born she has constantly worked with her to teach her and give her every advantage. She also is active in her church as well as teaching Sunday School. All this while she herself suffers from debilitating medical problems, including Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome and Rheumatoid arthritis. She is an amazing, strong women who I am proud to call my sister. I would love to be able to tell her that she didn’t have to worry about a dinner a week for a year!!!
I know i’m not the busiest mommy out there! But i have six children,ranging in age 9 yrs. to 7 wks. So these free – ready to eat – meals would sound GREAT!!!!
I am a full-time OB RN, who works 12 hr nights. I am also the mother of a beautiful 13 year old daughter who does home school. We enjoy a full schedule of classroom and outside activities, which fill most of my days off. I also have two grown children and four grandchildren, who are all older than my baby. I care for my 80 year old Mother, and an 83 year old Aunt. Free dinner one night a week would be a Godsend. (:
I am a busy mom of three boys 8, 4, and 2. I keep up with the boys schedules during the day and work nights and weekends to keep us afloat. Lately dad has had to prepare most of the dinners….a meal taken care of a week would be a blessing for him and the kids:)
I can’t tell you what a thrill and relief this would be to win! I am a mom of 3 older still at home sons ( 20, 17 and 16). Don’t think that just because they are older that it is any easier. I often say that the reason people tell you that is so you don’t give them away while they are still cute! LOL! The two younger sons do not drive yet as we believe they should be 18 before driving unaccompanied by an adult. Due to that, I am constantly on the road shuffling them from school to work to social outings. I also gladly babysit my 2 year old second cousin during the week since both his parents work and cannot afford daycare and help care for my wonderful home bound mother.
Feeding 3 sons plus often girlfriends and their other friends can get crazy and expensive. ,My husband often ask how many kids I have “adopted” as I often send lunch food for upto 4 kids daily to school with my youngest son. In addition to that,, our “other children” know if they need dinner they can come to our house. I can go through a lot of food and often have to cook a full meal for anywhere from 7 to 12 people on a very tight schedule. One of my biggest stress factors is often answering the infamous question “What’s for dinner?” many many times. I love having all the kids around and them feeling comfortable enough to want to spend time with us. We often have very honest open conversations with the kids over dinner which is very special time.
This prize will help feed not only my gang, but will also be shared with other family and friends that are going through tough times. I have never been able to stand the idea of a hungry child and with this prize and your help,, I will be able to help fill even more tummies.
Thank you for taking the time to read my entry and for this wonderful opportunity to win a great prize..
I’m a stay at home mom of a one year old — and one on the way. 🙂 Between playing, reading, and teaching my daughter colors, animals and words, I make the time to do all of the necessary housework (dishes, laundry, cleaning, etc.), grocery shopping, couponing for all the best deals :), preparing meals for my family and others in the community that need a healthy meal because they have just had a baby or a surgery etc. I make every effort to NOT be the busiest mom I know because I want to make myself available to be there for a friend or family member when needed. From last second babysitting to driving others to the airport–I make the time to be there for those around me. I would not trade my mom job for any other, even with all of its craziness and hectic days. My family is top priority for me and there is just nothing that compares to enjoying a good dinner around the table listening to my husband’s day and my daughters gleeful giggles. I’m sure life will naturally pick up on the busy-ness with the arrival of the new little one, and I would love to win free meals for a year so that I can use that time usually spent planning, buying and preparing dinner to impact and help those around me to an even greater extent.
I think “busy mom” is the new standard for our society. Like many others, I am heavily involved in my church, children’s schools, and my community. My commitments range from Quiz Bowl chair at the middle school, to school store volunteer & wrestling volunteer at the high school, to Bible study group leader, chairman of my community swimming pool, and tutor to under-served children in my city’s inner city. And the list goes on… The hardest thing is to remember that my own family should come first, and I have to apology and beg their forgiveness often for allowing them to take a lower place on the list than they should. But I love my family and they are a blessing!
I am busy but not as busy as some mention here. However, there is a delightful family of seven in our church congregation, who I’d love to surprise with a gift such as this.
I just want to applaud all of the busy moms, I have passed my busy mom phase and have a wonderful adult daughter who is busy in her life. I can’t wait until the day I get to be a busy grandma. Through all the years of managing a home, career, college, kids, ball practices, class outings, school events, the one thing that was very important in our lives was dinner time and sitting together to share our day and express our affection. I feel that was an important part of my child’s young life, and I know it was in mine. Products like yours make it possible to get a yummy “home” cooked meal on the table without exhausting the chef. Nowadays I am a busy RN, with a busy spouse and we keep the freezer stocked with MA’s so that we can still enjoy that dinner time together without spending hours in the kitchen or too many dollars from our pockets going out to eat. Thanks so much for listening to me ramble.
I’m a very busy mom of 5 children. My oldest is 24 and my youngest is 3. I’ve had babies every decade of my life of child bearing years. Being a mom is the greatest, most rewarding, busiest job a woman can have. Because my children are so spread out I’m very busy catering to the needs of young adults, 2 college age, teenager, and a very busy 3 year old. I’d love to win this giveaway because of the healthy meals. This would be a wonderful surprise to win!!
Hi! I am a mom of 23-month-old twins and I keep a 15-month-old two days a week. Having twins (boy and girl) keep me extremely busy as the laundry, cleaning, teaching, training, playing, and cooking never ends! I have a part-time job two days a week as well. Last fall my family moved away from relatives so that my husband could returned to college to pursue his undergrad. He is in school full-time and working. We are doing all we can to make ‘ends meet.’ Life is very busy and I know that we would all appreciate a little ‘help in the kitchen.’
Have never tried Michael Angelo’s meals, but I love Italian and easy frozen meals. Also love serving garlic bread and salad with frozen baked italian. These meals would help our family to have more meals together. I am super busy with a 21 month ago, 4 year old, part time job, and hubbie working full time.
I am a homeschooling mom of four (1 1/2, 4, 6, and 8). I also handle the bookkeeping for my church, work part time from home, coupon, etc. etc. We also just put our house on the market, so I have to keep it ready for showings. Thank you!
I am a busy mom of a 15 and 10 year old, who are busy as I am. Whether it is homework, chess club, tutoring after school, reports due, softabll, (which I coach, 3 nights a week), football, tutoring, and I volunteer 1 afternoon a week at our library. There is not enough time in the day. I also take care of my husband who is a diabled vet from Iraq, he suffers from tremmors (which they told us he is in the early stage of Parkinsons disease) and PTSD, this is a daily challenge. I work part-time but my full-time job starts as soon as I leave my part time one. It would be wonderful to be able to come home and enjoy a meal that does not take another 2 hours out of my day. I would love to spend that time with my family around the dinner table. Thank you
Hello, I am a busy mom of three great kids ages 8, 5, and 3. I am also just finishing m Master’s degree and have the job of finding a job and balancing everything I do on top of that! though i may not be the busiest mom in the world, it sure feels like it! 🙂
Any mom is busy and I’m no exception, but I absolutley love it. 🙂
I am a busy mom with 2 kids, a dog, and a husband in the Air Force. Between activities with and for the kids, homework for my oldest, curch, and volunteering, there is rarely enough time in the day to get it all done. I aim to cook healthy meals so winning this would be a big time saver adn help to us. I love that Michael Angelo’s uses premium ingredients and less of the “bad” stuff.
I’m a very busy mom taking care of ttwo kids and a husband. My daughter is 10 months old and my son just turned 2. I am also a college student, I just got my AA degree and am working on my Bachelors. I would love to win this giveaway because it would make dinner time so much easier!
I love my active 3 year old but he keeps me busy between working full time, owning a separate business with my husband, volunteering at school and church and spending time with family and friends. Thanks for letting us have a chance to win a meal where we can sit down together!
I am a busy mom of 4 expecting our 5th child. My husband is a cancer survivor who is still undergoing follow up appointments which take up a fair chunk of our time. Between being involved in volunteering at our church, doctor appointments, dentist appointments, school projects, school field trips, and extra curricular activities, my time is limited, and dinner needs to be a quick fix affair most days. It is important to me to have a healthy meal with the family around the table everyday. My family is my world and I wouldn’t trade my crazy life for anything!
After working all day as a full-time Mnister of Worship & Familylife, I come home and try to fix a quick, healthy meal for my family before going back to church for a meeting or rehearsal. My family loves Italian. My son would eat it everyday if he could. To know I have a wonderful, healthy, easy, Italian meal to count on would be great. Not to mention it would be FREE!
Like many grandmothers today we’ve taken over the role as mom once again but this time with our grandkids since both of their parents work. The second time around can be exhausting because of our age but very fulfilling as we watch them learn and grow through the eyes of one who is much wiser this time.
We take care of two homes and two families. To win these dinners would be so helpful. Thanks!
After 19 years in the career world, I was blessed with a wonderful little boy. I gladly hung up my career clothes and exchanged them for mommy clothes to become a full-time, stay-at-home mom. While I may not have as many children as other mothers out there, I am having to learn all new time management skills, multitasking, and simple “it can wait” skills. I may have just one little boy, but he keeps me on my toes and having just one meal planned for the week would be wonderful.
I’m not as busy as I could be but any meal already prepared is a huge help!
I am a busy mom to our 3 year old daughter, 2 year old son and 8 month old son. Needless to say, there is never a dull moment around our house! To have a ready-made meal once a week would be awesome! Talk about relieving some stress and being able to spend extra time with my 3 blessings.
I am probably not the busiest mom but I do stay very busy taking care of 2 kids and working 2 jobs. Seem to always be running from place to place with the kids. It would be so great to enjoy a prepared meal one night a week. Thanks for the opportunity to enter.
I am the busy single mom of a 4 year old daughter. I work full time and attend college part time trying to become a teacher. I get up at 6 to get me and my daughter ready, drop her off at pre-school, go work a full day, pick her up and we spend the next 3 hours playing, cooking dinner, doing her homework, giving her a bath and getting her ready for bed which includes a book and a song. Once she is in bed I do my homework and off to bed as soon as possilbe to start it over again the next day!
Happy Chaos-that’s what I call our home. I am the mom of 4 kids ages 10, 9, 4 & 2. In addition to being mom to the 4 loves of my life which of course includes the dance, baseball, girl scouts, carpool (you get the idea), I also work at home for the Children’s Hospital about 20-25 hours a week. If that doesn’t sound busy enough I am currently in school working towards my B.S.N. in nursing. I am two and a half years away from graduation and though my plate is full and the stress is at times great I do it all for the benefit of my 4 angels. A little help with making dinner easy could go a long way!
I have two sons whom I home school. I am also an extreme couponer, so many many hours go into saving my family money. I also volunteer at my church. I am the coordinator of our Girl’s Ministry called Mpact Girls. I also volunteer in children’s church and help my husband with the boy’s ministry.
I am a very busy working mom with one 2 years old and a husband who works a lot during the weekend. I have to drive 35 miles one way to work everyday, and be a position of accounting and HR combined. I am trying to lose more weight, and have to cook something healthy enough for myself, and tasty for my husband and easy enough that my daughter will eat it.
I have two growing boys ages 8 and 14 both who love to eat. I am a stay at home, homeschooling Mom. Things can get crazy at times. It would be great to have something to just put in and not have to go through meal prep and clean up.
Just enjoy meal time
Thanks!!!!
Thanks for this giveaway…its so great!! I am a super busy single mom of 2 amazing boys, ages 10 and 4!!!! I work a full time job, just started graduate school part time, and spend the rest of my time running to the ballpark or wherever else we need to go. Most days I don’t even get a chance to take a breath, but its so worth it. I would give anything for my boys and I always make time for whatever they need. This would help us out TREMENDOUSLY!!! Thank you so much for this opportunity. Happy Mothers Day to everyone!!!
I am busy like any other mom. I hate the idea of saying I’m the busiest, because it almost sounds like a complaint to me. I love my job, my life, my family and the fact that it all keeps me busy is awesome. But, here’s a little of what I do..
I sell real estate in a new development, so I am on the property about 10 hours a day. I have a beautiful, active 4 year old daughter who attends school at our Church. She sings in the Cherub Choir, attends music class and loves to play outside. My husband travels with work, so the morning routine is all me. In the evenings, it’s dinnner, bath, books and the “night-night” routine. I serve as an officer on both the local and state associations of Realtors, I serve on my city’s zoning board and I’m a board member for my child’s school. I am also an active member of the Junior League.
So, yes, I’m busy like most mommies. Having a year’s worth of meals sure would be helpful to our family. I’d love to be the recipient!
I am a homeschooling mom of 11 kids ages 17, 15, 13, 11, 10, 8, 6, 5, 3, 1, and 3 months. (Not to mention our 3 dogs, 1 cat, and a litter of 9 puppies!) I spend half my day counting heads to make sure they’re all accounted for. Just getting everybody washed, dressed, and fed is a serious undertaking, but when you add in teaching 8 different grades, chasing two toddlers, nursing a baby, grocery shopping for a family of 13, ENDless doctor visits, and a MOUNTAIN of laundry it’s a miracle that I ever sleep or get a moment to myself! People always ask me, “11 KIDS!?! Are you CRAZY???” With an exhuasted sigh I tell them “Stone cold crazy.”
1st let me say that i do not have children, although i loooong for them! my sis is a stay at home mom of 3 children! Madison, Preston & Reagan…the 1st two are in school & Reagan still has a year to go before she starts. Melanie is wonderful. She cleans the house, washes the clothes/dishes, takes kids to/from school, soccer, t-ball, dance, karate…among other family outings! She also mows their grass, befriends neighbors, bakes…truly i cannot remember all the “things” she does to name them here. She is a wonderful mother & wife…she stays busy, but always has time for the rest of her family & friends. everyone loves and cherishes her…how awesome would it be for us to be able to give her a break on cooking? once a week would be a godsend to her; not because she doesn’t love what she does, but because she could spend those extra minutes helping other families that need it! i’d also like to add that Mel is younger than me, & only 30 yrs old…wonderful person she is
I am a busy mom because I have a full time job and my husband too. we also try to run our own business and this is like anothe full time job. we also have moved to an apartment that needs a lot of attention. Ready meals could help a lot. Thanks for the giveaway.
I know most moms would say they are busy. Some days, I think I have not had time to breathe. I am the happy mother of a very lively 3-year-old son, and twin girls, almost 7 months old. I also work almost 40 hours a week at a local hospital. Sometimes life can get so crazy that it is so hard to try to come up with something for supper, especially when you’re pressed for time! Help with making dinner easy would definitely help me to remember to breathe!!
I would like to nominate my wife “Becky”. She is a stay at home mom of 2 (7y/o and 3 y/o) She is always busy shuttling the kids to and from all the everyday occurances as well as taking care of the household duties and me. It would be nice to fix her ameal for a change. Thanks for listening.
I am a busy mom too. I work full time (on my job that means at least 45 a week) and I have my son that is 13 and love different activities. From drums to soccer, football to saxophone. I am the lucky mom that gets to drive him around to practices, concerts, friends and to the mall. Tiring sometimes, but I love to be able to drive my son around.
Thank you for the giveaway.

I am a mother of three boys (6, 4, and 5 months), I am in school, work from home, primary care-taker of our home and yard, and unforunately, I’m a neat-freak. Let’s face it, we’re all busy. I am learning to be frugal and love to coupon so this would be an amazing help. Thank you for the opportunity.
I am a busy mom of 2 boys that are 9 months apart. 3 months after delivering my first child I found out I was pregnant while on birth control. Needless to say that he came 3 months early too. Our first child was only 9 months old when our second came into this world at 28 weeks. He was 2lbs and 2oz. Rush to a hospital 2 hours away from me and I was stuck in the hospital for days later. A broken heart….he was in the hospital for 2 months when he finally got to come home. A rough journey! He has spinal bifida and numerous doctors appoints every month. Physical Therapy once a week. By the pure grace and blessing of GOD our little boy is getting better and stronger everyday! I am blessed and would be even more blessed to receive this prize!
I am a busy working mom of a 19 month old daughter. My husband is a stay at home dad, and also father to a 4 year old son, so he is the busiest dad too! When I’m not at work, my family and I stay busy with gardening, music, church, cooking healthy delicious meals, and lots of play and learning!
If you’re a mom, you’re busy! I too am a busy mom. I homeschool my 3 boys, teach 3 afternoons/evenings at a local college, teach Sunday School, play about 30 classical music performances a year, and serve on the Board of Directors of the Christian Performing Artists’ Fellowship. A ready-made meal once a week would be a blessing!
I am one of the busiest moms I know but I love it. I have a daughter who turned 1 on Feb, and a son who turned 4 in Jan. I am a single parent so I work full time Tue thru Sat from 9-6 at a motorcycle shop. I love my two days off with my kids and try to prepare casseroles etc. for during the week. But It would be lovely to win the free meals for a year since dinner with them is very important to me and our special family time.
I am a mom to 4 children ages 12, 10, 5, and 4yrs. They keep me very busy with homeschooling them and then with all of the sports and extracurricular activities they are in. My youngest is developmentally delayed and take her to several different therapies each week.
If that doesn’t make me busy enough I also run and organize a seasonal children’s consignment sale 3 times a year. My family is also very involved in our church where I am the choir director.
The word “mom” means busy, and I am no exception. My son Abe will turn 2 tomorrow and the best gift I believe I could give him is my time. Winning this contest would be such a blessing for us as I would be able to turn dinner cooking time into time with Mama.
I am busy like everyone else here but it’s well worth it. My husband and kids are wonderful, even when they drive me crazy! I am a mother to 3 boys, ages 20, 17 and 2 1/2. We have a lot of fun around our house but it is hectic working full time while my husband is away and keeping up with all of them.
I am a stay at home busy mom of two toddlers ages 4 and 2. My son plays soccer 2 nights a week and I am also a pastor’s wife. I am going to start teaching again in August and these meals would really help. I am also typing this with a two yr old crawling all over me 🙂
Hi. My mom is crazy busy. She takes care of her mom and her mother-in-law and gives tons of attention to her 5 grandkids. She cooks meals for both of my grandmas and she does all of their shopping for them. She stays 2 nights a week with her mom and visits each day. She never ever complains and she does it with a big heart. She and my dad rarely ever miss the grandkids sporting events or school events (4 nights a week). She hosts everyones b-day parties and holidays. She makes homemade cakes and homemade meals on a small budget. Having the Michael Angelos meals would help greatly.
Thanks!
I am a married mother of 2, teach Sunday School and work as a nurse. I love all my “hats” but stay very busy as all moms do. This giveaway would be such a treat to win.
I am sure busy. Two teen’s and my son plays three sports. Getting ready for a graduation party and trying to find my son a job, and get into college. I work full time, I’m a single mom with 5 cats and one dog. A free meal once a week would be great!
I am a busy, stay-at-home mom trying to keep up with my 3 year old and my 8 month old. While keeping up with them, I also help lead worship on Sundays, lead a women’s Bible Study (in my second language) on Wednesdays, provide childcare for a Bible Study my husband teaches on Friday nights, as well as keeping up with cooking, cleaning, etc, all while supporting my husband as best I can as a pastor’s wife. I would love to take a break one night a week and not have to cook!
As a mom of a 3 year old and expecting a new baby any day now, some days seem so busy. Their food is delicious and would be a welcome break to cooking once a week.
Full time job, two kids, husband, and masters classes to attend makes me a busy mom!
I am a busy mom. Maybe not the busiest, but I do run all day. I have 4 children ages 9, 14, 17 and 20, all currently at home. We homeschool the 3 younger ones and their lives are full of activities – church, friends, horses, dance, etc. I also run a full-time business from home, along with all the house responsibilities. I would love a free meal a night for a year. That would be a blessing!
I’m definitely a busy mom. I carpool Liz,8, and Tristan,6, twice a day to and from school, I run a home office, I keep my house clean, laundry done, meals cooked and I still have time to visit family and friends.
I am a teacher and have 2 kids under the age of 2. We try not to eat out more then 2 times a month to save money. Taking a break from cooking would be so nice!
I am a busy mom…because aren’t all moms busy! Soccer practices, art lessons, picnics, play dates, field trips, kite flying, tea parties, dance shows in the playroom, catching butterflies. Being a mom is super busy…but super fun!!!
I have 3 children, my husband and his parents. My husband works full-time and I part-time. We work opposite ends of the week. We have a small business. My husband’s parents take 20+ medications each day and have numerous medical issues. I run our house and my husband and I manage his parent’s household. We have a special needs cat. I coupon as much as time permits. I keep 5 calendars to stay on track of it all.
I am a busy mom of a 10 year old girl, a 8 year old boy and second
mom to about 30 teenagers (my husband is a youth pastor). My daughter takes tumbling once a week and is a cheerleader. My son plays football. They have practice twice a week and games are on Saturday. They start practicing for the season in July and it ends in November with play offs and cheerleading compitition. My son will have a tutor this summer 2 days a week.
It would be a great help to be the winner of a year of meals from Michael Angelo’s.
I thought I might get less busy as my kids got older, but that just doesn’t seem to be true. My dear husband who has been doing a lot of cooking over the last few years just started a new job and dinner falls back on me – would love to have some frozen meals to help out on those busy days.
Because I have 2 year old twins and a four year old. Enough said!
I would like to nominate my friend Shannon. She is very busy with 4 children. I of her boys has significant special needs. Last year her husband left and now she is a single mom. Dinner time is always a struggle as sometimes finances aren’t there to provide the meal she would like to for her family. Through all the difficulties she has faced she has remained an amazing Mom always putting her children before herself. She is very deserving of the award.
I am a busy mom trying to make healthy choices for my family. There or 4 of us going in 4 different directions, but I try to keep dinners a relaxed family time. What a help this would be, especially for those nights when pulling it all together with grace seems a little out of reach.
Well..I may not be as busy as some of these moms, thank goodness, but I am a sahm to a 4 y.o. a 2y.o. and due with my 3rd boy in July!!
I am a really busy Mom of two sons ages 21 and 17. You might think that because my sons are older that I have more time on my hands, well think again! My oldest son is in college and lives at home and commutes, so he is still around. My youngest son is in High School and we begin our day at 6:00am (he has to be at school at 7:15). I take him to school each day and pick him up each afternoon. I spend my days with housework, I mow the yard and do the other yard work. I am currently trying to finish up painting our living room (I started months ago). I volunteer at my son’s school in the college room, I am an adult leader in my son’s Boy Scout Troop and I have recently taken on my biggest volunteer job ever, I am going to be in charge of Project Graduation for my son’s class next year. The party is over a year away but we are already planning and starting to do fund raising, We will need to raise about $40,000! I am tired already! I am also “Mom” to a high energy, 3 1/2 year old Airedale, Pepper that demands several walks a day but I am not complaining, I love it too!
I am a very busy mom. I have a one year old daughter. I work 25-30 hours a week and I’m about to start back to school to finish my teaching degree! I get so stressed trying to figure out what to do for dinner every night. I want something that is healthy and tastes good. This would be such a blessing!
I am a very busy mom. I have 4 kids, ages 18, 6, 4, and 2. I start my day every morning at 6 by getting breakfast for my 2 kids that go to school. Once they are on there way I do home school preschool for my 2 boys that stay home with me. Once that is done we head off for therapy appointments. I have 3 children that have special needs so I have to get get them each to their therapy every week. That is six therapy appointments per week. Then we rush home for lunch for the two that stay home. Once my others are home from school we start home work and try to get dinner in a timey manner. We also have lots of activites that the kids do. RIght now we have soccer each weekend, girl scouts, and preparations for high school graduation. I also work part time as a paramedic, when I work each week they are 12 – 13 hour shifts. Since I handle the house hold and our schedule I have to leave my husband detailed notes of were and when to be each day if I am working. It is in the kids best interest if I also have a meal prepared for when I am working, there is no telling what my husband will feed them. I do most of this alone, my husband is a full time fireman so he works 24 hours shifts, plus his part time jobs. I stay very busy every day, but I love being a mom and wouldn’t change a thing!!!!
Wow! After reading these comments I am NOT the busiest Mom!! But I do have a busy life with 2 young boys and 2 teenage stepdaughters. I am a stay at home mom and just started back as a nurse on weekends. We would love the year of meals!!!
Every single mom listed here deserves a pat on the back (or heck, a day at the spa!) but, does this take the cake::: Husband is deployed in Afghanistan and being home alone with a 3 year old and newborn twins!
Mom/Grandmom with a household of 8-9 and a baby on the way. My husband and I have three older children living with us, along with a daughter-in-law, two younger grandchildren, another on the way, and a grandchild who lives with us part-time due to joint custody. Thanks for the opportunity.
I am a busy Mom of a beautiful 4 month old baby girl and I have a step-daughter that is 6! I am a teacher but right now I am staying at home with my baby girl!! I would love to have one meal already planned! It is so hard to find things to make!! Thanks!!
I am the sole bread winner in my family of five. I work as a nurse caring for the eldery at night, then I come home and care for my three young ones during the day. I sleep very little. I also have a wonderful minister husband who helps with caring for the spiritual needs of others. Putting all this together leaves very little time for me to shop and prepare meals. I could use all the help I can get and we just love Michael Angelo’s ready to bake meals.
I’m a mother, wife, starting a new biz, new blogger, household CEO. You name it, I do it!
.-= Marjorie´s last blog ..It’s An Online Party: Help Whip Breast Cancer! =-.
I am a mom of 4 boys (under 10). I am a full time college student and work 2 jobs.
My children are 8 mo, 2.5, 5 and 8 (almost 9). Im forever on my feet with them… My 8 yr old is playing soccer after school 3 days a week. My 5 yr old is in VPK (preschool) and there is no bus for his 3 hour program, so i drop him off at 11 and pick him up at 2. That 3 hours is barely enough to do a bit of laundry and clean the kitchen, living room, the boys rooms and my room AND GET SOME WELL DESERVED SLEEP. I go to school Mon-Thurs from 8am (I leave at 7am) and get out at 10:15 and home just in time to let grandma go to work and drop off my 5 yr old at school. After school I leave the kids with a neighbor till 5pm (when daddy is home…) and I go to work from 3pm-11pm. Then I deliver newspapers from 2am-5 or 6am. (I just picked up this job last week.) I also quit my overnite job yesterday!!!
Dadd works 70 hrs+ per week. He goes into work at 5am or 6am (whenever im home) and get’s home around 5pm most days, except sat… he works 9am-6pm and has SUN off!
Im certainly busy… maybe not the busiest, but one of the tiredest moms out ther for sure!
Thank God I will b graduating in a couple weeks!!! I will have my Assoc as a RN 🙂 Im so excited!!!!
I have twin 18-month olds who keep me and my husband busy from morning to night. Add in the exercise classes I teach at night and I’m always looking for some help for great meals together!
i am the busiest non mom.
I’m busy with my little girl because I have to breastfeed her around the clock and change all those diapers! Plus, loving on her and playing with her… there’s no time left in my day!
4 kids (2 on the Autism Spectrum), 3 dogs, 1 cat, 1 husband = a VERY busy mom… that would be ME! 🙂
It seems like every night of the week we are running our child around to a sporting event, concert, or meeting. I am a teacher, as well as my husband, and money is tight. Every night–no matter what–we sit down and eat together as a family. It may be at 5:00pm or at 8:00pm but our meal time is important time. If I had meals already prepared I could spend more time with my family instead of cooking.
Well, I refuse to actually claim to be the busiest mom ever, because with my luck God would come along and prove me wrong by piling something else on my plate. But I will definitely claim to be a busy mom of 3 little ones. And I would LOVE a year of meals! Thanks for the chance!
PLEASE!!!!!!! In this day and time we are all stressed. I feel for all of the moms out there. I would give this to my daughter —a mother of two—-both who have special needs. She drives them to and from appointments and appointments——-she never complains………..but she doesn’t have the time or energy to think about dinner. Thanks.
Busy single mom of 2 Wild and crazy little girls 9(Going on 20) and 5(Going on 16). Girl Scout leader, gardening and work fill most of my day. Then rushing home to try and fix dinner quick enough to get to play and spend some quality time with my girls. There just aren’t enough hours in a day. 9 year old with ADHD and homework just DO NOT mix. I would love to have frozen meals to help me some days just to get to play and enjoy the girls while they are still wanting mom to play with them. Wish it would never end.
I am a busy mama of three wonderful girls (ages 6, 4 and 2). I am due in October with our fourth child. I work full time and help out at my church. I would love to have a free meal for my family every week!
I think I’m the busiest Mom because I have to keep up with a very active 22 month old precious little boy who started walking at 9 months and hasn’t stopped moving since! 🙂
My mom is the busiest mom I know….a mother of 4 adult kids and 5yr and 9yr old. Her typical day recently….Her 2 are off to school then off to radiation she goes…Then ALL the kids from school (her 2 and then the 4 grandchildren). They all have playtime, snack, homework time…then off to baseball practice or game and gymanstics…late evening they make it home for dinner and family time then off to bed to get up and do it all over again….Not to worry about one meal a week would be a wonderful thing.
I am a busy mom and grandmom. I quit my job to care for my 3 grandchildren. A year’s worth of meals would be awesome! It would allow me to spend less time cooking and more time with the little ones.
I am a busy mom because I have a high school student who needs help with homework occasionally and I don’t have time to make dinner. This would help me greatly.
i surely can’t say i’m the busiEST….but wow, i put my tennis shoes on first thing in the morning just so i can keep up! i’m a mom of a newly 3 year old, and 1 1/2 year old. sure i’m involved with other things….but the kiddos are what keep my head spinning.
I’m not a busy mom but my daughter sure is. Not only does she work outside the home in a full time job, she is an assistant tee ball coach, takes her 6 year old son to school, tee ball games and horse riding lessons. Then she drops off her 18 month old son at day care and takes him to numerous doctor’s appointments as he was diagnosed with AML leukemia at the age of 2 months, and while he is now in remission, his follow up appointments could be a full time job for most moms. She is also the chairperson for the local American Cancer Society Walk next week and has been actively gathering teams, donations, as well as holding bake sales and yard sales to make the walk a success for the past six months. In addition, she is already collecting donations for her team for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society “Light the Night Walk” this fall. And finally, in her “spare time” she often stops by the children’s cancer center at the hospital 50 miles from her home where her son was treated to offer comfort and hope to other parents who are just starting on that horrible journey of learning their child has cancer. She deserves so much more than a free meal a night for a year … but it would be a nice start.
I’m a busy mom of a 2 year old and desperately trying to finish school in the evenings. I would love free meals.
I love being a busy Mom, I have a four month old son and an 11 year old step-son. I work full-time and help take card of my disabled mother-in-law and disabled Mother. I am so blessed to be a busy Mom; I would be lost without my wonderful family!
I am a wife of an active duty military man. We have three kids 11, 9, and 1. Our two oldest swim in the morning 5days a week for 1.5hrs, and in the evening for 2hrs, four days a week. Evening swim is an hour drive each way. We attend three competitions a week all over the south. While my children attend public school in between AM and PM swim, I am home with our 1yr old and my friends 20month old, cleaning, preparing dinner, getting ready for PM swim, and keeping up with two munchkins! We have one hour when we get home from school for homework and dinner before we leave for swim, most of the time chewing as we are walking out the door and bringing our homework. This leaves me Sunday only, but now I have to mow our 2acres of grass while our two oldest are in the house watching little brother and at the same time wrecking the house so I can begin again on Monday! I do love it, and would not change a thing! (except the husband home more!)
Too busy to write but would love the meals:)
I’m a busy mom. Maybe not the busiest because my time with my child is limited, so I try to keep extra activities to a minimum. I work full time outside the home. My husband works second shift, so baby girl is in bed before he gets home. As soon as I get off work I drive an hour to pick her up, take her home, fix dinner, give her a bath, play for a few minutes, and put her to bed. Then I get to complete the rest of my mom/wife duties before I go to bed. A little help with dinner would be great. Thank you!!
After reading some of these comments, I know I really am not the busiest Mom in the world, but I do feed 2 teenagers every day and this would come in handy!!!
I have suprised myself by being a horribly busy Mom with ‘kids” in there twenties. They are in college and extra kids with sketchy home lives have ended up living here too (also in college). My biggest problem is I never how many will be in for dinner or when they will be here (or when one of them will aggravatingly show up with ‘styrofoam’ meal!). One of my kids has health issues so I never know if one of unplanned daily issues will be that someone just cannot get to there laundry or are out of printer ink or a doc/hospital visit. One of the biggest probles is trying to provide dinners that stay good for a whole 3 hour window. My blessing is that my husband is great about it!!
I have twins
Running around my shins
Cleaning, cooking, reading,
Hugging, loving, kissing
I can’t stop its never ending!
I love my girls with all my might
Winning Michealangelos dinners…
Would be out of sight!
we are a very busy family of 4 + 1 (our puggle – Hobbes). between my husband working full-time + anything extra he can do on the side & I clean houses – or whatever personal assistant work I can do & still be able to pick my kids up at the end of the school day – we are spent! but we ALWAYS try to have our dinners together at the table in the kitchen. we scrape to make ends meet – but our family always comes 1st!
we would be honored to have free healthy dinners for a year! it would help our time crunch as we head into the busy months of summer, softball & swimming! but most of all it would sure help our bottom line – what a great buget boost!
I am a busy mom of 7 — 13, 12, 10, 9, 7, 4, and 1. We spend most of our day homeschooling, preparing food, and trying to keep everything semi-clean. Also, at least once a week, we watch the children of other church members (to give the parents some time to do appointments without their children). My dear husband works Long hours, so we try to have the house looking nice when he comes home at night. Free food, especially Micael Angelo’s, would be Great. Thank you.
Well, I am sure that I am not the busiest mom in the world but some days it seems like it. I am a single mom to a 13 year old son. I work full time, am in school, and am very active in my church.
My son has a learning disability in reading and I have to help him complete his homework every night and this takes hours. We are struggling but are making in through. A free meal a week would be wonderful for us so that I won’t have to cook one night a week but would also free up a few dollars to spend on other things — like bills!
I am a stay at home mom of a 6 month old and a 4 year old. I also work from home as an active realtor and piano teacher. To add to my busy life, I also work part time as a music director for a church on Sundays. I’m quite busy at church as the leader of the beginner’s children’s program. I also volunteer my time at our church’s private school teaching art and mentoring students. Next on the agenda – creating homeschool plans as my oldest will be starting kindergarten in the fall!
I certainly don’t claim to be the busiest of ALL moms, but I am pretty busy, in my own right. I am a homeschooling mom of three; a sixth grader, a fourth grader, and a very energetic second grader. I’m also the “public transit” to gymnastics, tennis, basketball, football, and band (thank goodness basketball and football are seasonal). I try to cook meals at home because it costs a small fortune to feed a growing family of five out at a restaraunt. Already prepared frozen meals would make life a little simpler, at least one night of the week!
I am the busiest mom because aside from being a mother of 3 rambunctious boys (ages 1,3,6) I also attend college full time, run a new clothing store, a internet business, and take care of the house. In my “spare time” I manage to coupon.
I think I’m busy with twin girls, 11 years old, but in reading the posts, I think Reagan’s mom should win… the one with 11 children! It is such a sweet posting from her daughter and an honor to her mom. I hope my children will speak of me that way!
I am a busy mom. I work full time, take care of my toddler and dog, and take care of the house because my husband works 12 hour shifts at night. But I can’t compare to my friend Gwyn. She is a single mom with three kids, two jobs, no child support and just found out she has a brain tumor. If I win this, I will give it to Gwyn because she deserves it more than anyone I know.
I am a busy, stay at home, mom of 6 year old twin girls & little boy that will be 3 the 27th of May. My husband works 3 jobs, and has many other projects going on around our home. We homeschool our twin girls, and stay busy with many other activities throughout the weeks!!!
I am a busy mom. I work a full time job and a part time job, not to mention raising a family is another one of my full time job all in itself. I love being busy. I Thank God everyday for that opportunity. Being a busy MOM is much better than not being able to work, or not having a family to raise or not being able to serve others. I would love to be considered for the FREE weekly Meal. I always have others at my house around meal time. It’s rarely ever just my family.
I am a stay at home mom of 4 kids, ages 6, 3, 2, and 1. I homeschool the oldest and our youngest has goldenhar syndrome. Between all her doctors appts. and therapies, it gets VERY hectic around here! Did I mention my husband is a manager at a resturant and works very long hours? Somedays I can’t tell if I am coming or going! I would love to not worry about dinner 1 night a week!
To say that I’m the BUSIEST mom would be a said statement to the other busy moms in the world. However, I do constantly feel like my head is spinning 🙂 I am a full time student, studying to become a middle school science teacher. I have a 2 1/2 year old bustling little boy, who always manages to keep us on our toes. I work nearly full time, and am training for my first 5K to celebrate my upcoming birthday. My husband works full time and owns his business with his father. To say life is crazy is an understatement, but with God all things are possible!
I am a busy Mom and grateful for my role! I am blessed. God continues to provide day in and day out for our needs. Perhaps He will provide Michael Angelo meals….
I am busy, busy, busy. As the mother of 11 children, I go nonstop. It takes ALL day just to do the laundry 🙂 let alone cook for my growing family. To top things off I have FIVE teenagers. Helping them navigate through this world expends tons of emotional energy. But, regardless I think I am one of the most blessed women on earth and wouldn’t trade places with anyone, though I would LOVE to have a butler! Haha! But, since that isn’t possible I would love to win the Michael Angelo’s Dinners. 🙂
Busy busy busy… All three of our children are grown but caring for them never ends.
My mom is definitely the best and possibly the busiest too! In addition to running a small business, in one week she did all of the following:
– stayed in the hospital w/ my grandmother 3-4 nights after her heart attack
– helped my aunt get her will and paperwork in order after a massive stroke
– came to take care of my 2 (adorable) nephews while my sister had her third little one
– loved and supported me as I quit my job and prepared for a move with my boyfriend
– pre-cooked food for my dad so he would eat crackers and cake icing for dinner (yes, that actually happened once!)
She’s the best.
I am a stay-at-home mom with a 9-month-old little girl who does not want to miss a thing! Translation…she doesn’t sleep through the night and doesn’t nap much at all. I cannot complain though because she is always a smiling, happy baby. I am trying to juggle several “work-from-home” jobs in order to avoid having to back to an office 9-5 job. I get up at 5am and work before she wakes up, I sit down at the computer as soon as she goes down for a quick nap (often means no shower for me…yes, I’ll admit it) and then go back to work again when my husband gets home and also work many early mornings/late evenings on the weekend. I work this crazy schedule so hopefully I won’t have to miss any of the precious memories from the first year of my baby’s life. Oh, and did I mention that I love to cook and cherish the precious time that my husband and I sit down at the dinner table each night after she goes to bed.
I may not be the worlds most busiest mom, but I would still love to win!! I work and have a ten month old. He is so busy and into everything!!
I am the busy mom of three boys, an 8, 4 and 8 month old. I homeschool my 8 and 4 year old while chasing around my youngest who thinks he always needs to be outside. My oldest had holes in his heart when he was born and had heart surgery at 8 months old. He still has aortic regurgataion, aortic valve is weak, and we still have to go to appts. My husband is a police officer and he is on the SWAT team. His shift rotates each month to where he works mornings, then evenings then midnights, so I get no help from him. He is also a disabled veteran of the Marine Corps. He has 3 degerating disks and a hyernated disk. I am trying to get enough money together so he can have back surgery this summer (prayerfully it will be successful). I clean my parents house 3 times each week to earn a little extra money on top of learning Italian. I am doing the P90X workout each night before I get to bed at about 1am and then start all over again by 6:30am.
I am a mom of two – 3 and 4 mo. old. I work PT from home, and we are youth and campus pastors at our local church. It adds up quick!
Every mom deserves this….but with my 3 kids (three & under) and all the daily responsibilities that entails…..this would be a huge blessing!!!
Single Mom of 2 and work full time outside the home with no help. A yr of dinners would be great.
I really enjoy the business of 2 boys 2 and under. I stay busy reading to them, playing with them, cleaning them and cleaning up after them! I have the normal duties of the under 2 crowd: diapers, laundry, meal time, etc. My husband is a huge help when he is home, but he works long days and often works 6/7 days. I am privileged to stay at home because he works so hard. We, like most people, are on a very tight budget so meals for a year would be awesome. Plus we love Italian 🙂
I have 4 jobs! Wife, Mom, Engineer & Graphic Designer. My hours are exahusting and I cant do it all! Please, PLEASE give me these meals, I could sure use a break in the kitchen every now and then. 🙂
single working and most importantly mother of beautiful son!
My wife teaches full time every day. She starts her other full time job when, after being mother and teacher to the children of others all day, she leaves the school to manage the affairs of our family. Both of our children are active with church, sports, and other activities. Having a meal a week already planned and prepared would be a tremendous blessing for her and our household.
I’m a stay at home mom to two wonderful children. My daughter just turns 3 and my son is 20 months. It’s not in our budget to eat out and so I cook every meal at home. This would be a huge blessing to have basically one night a week where I could relax with the family while dinner cooked and for free to boot!
I know I’m not the busiest mom, but I sure feel like it sometimes. I raised my husbands two children then took my sisters four for a while. Now I’m down to two plus I keep my 2 year old grandaughter 5 days a week (overnignt 2 of those). I also work 12 hour shifts on the weekend. No days off and my husband works about 50 hours a week. Little time for sanity, but wouldn’t trade it for anything.
I LOVE being a mommy, but it is very exhausting 🙂 I am currently a mom of a 3 yr. old and a 11 month old. I help my husband run his fireworks business on the side, and we are very involved in our church community. Did I mention we have playgroup, dance class, and serve at our church weekly?? 🙂 It may not seem like the busiest in comparison to other wonderful mamas out there, but to me it’s exhausting. But I wouldn’t have it any other way!
As a full time employee of a public High School, and mother of 2 college age kids, I can assure you I am a busy Mom! I never know who will be at my home for dinner on any given night. I use a clothes line to dry clothes during sunny warm days, and have been known to make my own laundry detergent. I like to cook, and grow my own vegetables to eat and give away if I am sucessful in the garden. I have to admit it would be a real treat to enjoy a delicious homemade meal in the comfort of home once in a while, without the extra work of cleaning numerous pots and pans. I always thought I would have more time when my children got older. What was I thinking?
I have a full time job and 3 kids, ages 1, 3, and 5. Plus on weekends, we are renovating our old house. I also love to bake on the weekend for birthdays in the family – seems like there is one every month!
I am a stay at home, homeschooling mom of 2 little ones. My husband works 3 jobs and is hardly ever home!! We are very active in our church and community. Right now we are trying to juggle 2 mortgages, so winning these meals would be wonderful!
I feel I am a busy mom… I work a regular 40 hr+ job away from the home, my husband is disabled and does not drive, I am starting a “from Home” candy biz, and have to keep up with my 14 yr old son and all his school projects and extra -cirricular activities. Take time for church and volunteer at a local soup kitchen once a month. Whew! Im tired just writing about it!
I want to nominate my mom…she works full time like many other mothers do…leaves the house at 7:30 a.m. drops off my little sister at school goes to work…comes home around 6:30 p.m. makes dinner, does the laundry, cleans house and still have some time to do some couponing. Im sure these coupons would be very helpful to her not having to think about making dinner at least once a week.
Too busy to write more!
My wife is BUSY as can be. We have a 6 & 5 yr old in 1st grade and Kindergarten, and she works full time as an administrator for our church’s daycare. She’s also in school completing her bachelor’s degree online and is GRADUATING this Saturday!!! YES!!!!!!
Between her homework, which is about to be OVER, and our children’s homework, cooking dinner becomes “what can we piece together quickly” on most every night of the week.
She’s the best thing since an egg white omelet and that Michael Angelo’s would be quite fitting in honor of Mother’s Day AND graduation!!
Hi. I feel like I am one of the busiest moms because I have 3 jobs, in addition to raising 2 boys and running a home. I wait tables 5 nights a week and have a hot pepper jelly business and am a team leader with Thirty~One gifts. I would love a nightly break
We all think we are the busiest but when we think about walking in someone else’s shoes I always step back and reconsider. Anyhow, about me, I am the mother of three wonderful children. I have home schooled them all from the beginning. For the past 17 years my husband and I have managed our own businesses. In addition to being mother, teacher, chauffeur, nurse, nutritionist, I also take care of all the payroll, bills, scheduling, purchasing, etc for 3 businesses. Somehow in the midst of all of this I help my mother-in-law once a week, help out my sister-in-law with twins, lend a helping hand to all my friends, teach bible class, teach high school science classes, take field trips, host bible studies, and make time for my loving husband of 26 years. This is what it is all about a new challenge everyday with the strength of God through Christ. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Phil 4:13
Busy is my middle name! I work partime but am a full time cook, maid, nurse, taxi driver etc… My husband is a minister for a fairly large congregation which requires a lot of my time as well. Although I am extremely busy I love my busy life!!
While I am not the busiest mom in the world, and do qualify as a busy mother nonetheless! I have three children, two boys, five and four, and a daughter, 2 1/2. All are in school during the days, and I am president of the parent’s council. I work full time during the day, my husband works nights so one of us always with our children. Two years ago, my husband had a portion of his hand amputated in a workplace accident, so we’ve been dealing with the surgeries and changes that brought into our lives. My oldest boy has behavorial delays, necessitated extra work at home and at school for him to adapt. And we are starting contruction to build onto our small house. We are doing 90% of the work ourselves, which makes hot, healthy, planned meals a thing of the past. I miss meals that are not served between two slices of bread.

Thanks
I’m a stay-at-home mom of a toddler. We’re currently living with my two brothers-in-law, so I cook every day for three men! I also have to clean up after them. 😉 I spend a lot of time doing church activities and helping out with my 4 nephews/nieces that live across the street. Plus, our house becomes a meeting place for the entire family when we have get togethers.
I don’t know that I am the busiest mom, but it sure feels like it. Right now, with my 4 kids playing baseball, we are living at the ballfield. Concession stand food is no dinner, so I stay crazy trying to come up with quick, healthy food! This prize would be put to good use, and so appreciated!
I am mom to two awesome boys, ages 9 & 6. I have a full time job and both of my children are very involved in sports. We are right in the middle of baseball season now and we “live” at the ballpark atleast 4-5 nights a week. Sometimes for 3-4 hours at a time if not longer. My day yesterday was wake up feed kids breakfast, dress everyone for work & school. Drop kids off at school by 8, drive to work until 2, pick kids up at school by 3. Homework, more work from home (I work from home 2:30-5). Feed kids a quick snack before we head to 5:00 & 6:00pm ball practice for my oldest son and a 7:15pm ballgame for my younger son. Dinner from a drivethru lst night, home at 9:00pm, bath and then bed. If I knew I could already have these meals planned each week, it would make our ball park nights so much easier. Thanks for the consideration 🙂
I am a stay at home mom with 3 boys, ages 12, 10, and 2. My oldest boys are very active in sports and school activities. We are constantly on the run. It would be so nice once a week not to worry about dinner that night! Usually I get home from picking the boys up from school and sometimes only have an hour before we leave for ballgames. So this would save me so much time!
All moms are busy but I’d like to nominate my daughter, Allison. She is a full time student with a 10 month old son. One day he wasn’t able to coordinate his knees and hands together to be able to crawl and the next he is out running (crawling) the dog. Poor puppy! She also has an all weekend job so I get to spend time with Dylan. She is the epitome of an exhausted mom and certainly deserves a meal off.
I’m entering this on behalf of my daughter, who is a very busy mom. Alexis is a wife, mother and school teacher. She is mom to a very active and rambunctious 18 month old. Her husband is going to school full time to become a nurse anesthetist. And she is a school teacher to a class of severe and profoundly handicapped children. Her work is very physically and emotionally demanding. She works very hard at home to cut expenses and economize while they are living on one income . She’s becoming a champion couponer and has even been asked to teach the girls in her Sunday School class and the teachers at her school how to suceed at couponing. Needless to say, I’m very proud of her and hope she wins the meals so that one day a week she can put supper on the table without having to take the time to make it herself.
I stay busy loving my family 24/7…and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Of course I think I’m the busiest mom…
3 kids…23, 17, & 7
Home Daycare/preschool provider for 7 children ages 2 – 5
I home school my 7 year old daughter
I am the youth director for Jr & Sr High at our church
Wife to a Joliet Firefighter/Paramedic
My family is very involved with mission work…I just returned from a week long trip to Port-au-Prince, Haiti last Tuesday night to take supplies to an orphange we help support: HIS Home for Children, you can see it at http://www.hishomeforchildren.com.
Two years ago my husband and I started a sponsorship program for the orphanage, so I handle all the paperwork/website stuff for that.
Our family also hosts a 300 mile bike ride the last week of June from Joliet, IL to Harrod, OH to raise money and awareness for HIS Home. This June will be our 4th year! The first 3 years have raised over $98,000.00.
On January 12, 2010 our life turned upside down…our 23 year old son was teaching for a year in Port-au-Prince and was there when the earthquake hit. We had no news from him for several days…the longest days of our lives. Mike was eventually evacuated out of Haiti on a U.S. Airforce cargo plane and is back home trying to find a job until he returns to school in the fall.
Our 17 year old son needs 40 service hours to graduate from high school…his goal is 1,000. His Junior year is almost finished and he has over 800 hours turned in.
Our 7 year old daughter keeps us busy with horseback riding, tumbling, ballet, and her gymnastics team. Ever since we adopted her from China in 2003…our hearts have been with the orphans of the world.
I am also a “super-couponer” and have been using my “deals” to provide weekly boxes of food for 2 families from church who are out of jobs.
So…I’m a busy mom of a busy family. But I like to think our “busy” is actually a “busy” that is making the world a better place.
I’m a busy mom of 4 girls. I homeschool the older 3rd grade girls and have a fun loving 3 1/2 yr old and a very busy 2 yr old who loves to get into everything! I love couponing, work part time as a nurse, and am busy this week planning a baby shower for a friend and a BD party for my 3rd grade twins 9th BD!
My sister-in-law, Lori, is the busiest Mom I know- and that says a lot these days! She Has EIGHT children, ages- 20 all the way down to in-utero (she is pregnant with the eighth now). She is a brilliant woman whom I admire, and has to be one of the most resourceful people I have ever met! One child is special needs (her 6-yr-old) and another has speech therapy a lot- I don’t know how much but at least once a week. Her husband works 12 hours a day )that included commute time) and is also a brittle diabetic with heart disease so his energy levels are often low and he just doesn’t feel good enough to help out past bringing home a paycheck. (I don’t have any of that and I think I’d be tired, anyway!)- Anyway. I would LOVE to give those to the Phillip and Lori Good home in Bridgeville, PA as a vote of confidence in all they are doing. They are some of the best people you’ll ever meet, and you will most definitely see Gods strength working through them.
I am a mother of two Wonderful teenagers and I have had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for 10 plus years now. Many days I am so sick I can’t even get out of bed. Over the years my children have learned how to make simple meals and how to basically take care of themselves when I am very sick. Michael Angelo’s meals are the best! We all love them because they really taste like home cooked meals! I love the fact that they are made with fresh ingredients and that they don’t have any artificial colors, or chemical preservatives!
I thought when my oldest son went out on his own and my youngest reached his teens that I’d not be so busy. Not true! I am as busy or busier than ever before with a 1 1/2 hour total commute, working full-time, teaching piano, paid accompanist for church functions, youngest involved in sports and extracurricular activities. 52 meals that I wouldn’t have to cook would make our lives so much easier!
I am a stay at home mom to a rambunctious 2 yr old boy and then I have a 1 month old girl. I’m still trying to figure out this mom of 2 thing and how to manage the household while nursing every 3 hours! Life has gotten so busy and I am not looking forward to our meals from friends being over! Thanks.
My sister-in-law is the busiest mom. She is a mother to two boys, one who is 2 1/2 and the other who is almost 1 year. She is a full-time high school math teacher, who also helps coach swimming and sponsors the junior class. She assists with her church youth group as well. But the main reason she is the busiest mom is because her 2 1/2 year old (Branson) is special needs . . . he has a series of neurological conditions so rare that he is one of only nine people in the world that have it. She somehow manages to work, take care of the house, cook, assist with extracurricular activities, while at the same time making sure that Branson makes it to all of his many therapy, doctor’s and hospital appointments. She also always finds a way to make it to other family events like birthday parties. She is an AMAZING mom who deserves to have one night a week where she doesn’t have to cook!
Yes, Yes, Yes, we are all very busy parents. Although working part time in the evenings and taking care of my 2 kids during the day is very hectic, I love this crazy life! Thanks for trying to help!
Amanda
Kids, family, school, etc….too busy to be in the kitchen constantly!
I don’t know if I could honestly give a legitimate reason that would make me the busiest mom other than being new to this phase of womanhood. I was a single career girl for most of my adult life until I had my son and got married. (yes, in that order). I’m still working on my time management skills and organization, but aren’t we all?
I doubt I’m the busiest mom, but I spend my days changing diapers, wiping hineys, kissing boo-boos, giving baths, playing games. I’m washing, hanging, stuffing and folding cloth diapers and preparing flannel wipes. I’m planning and preparing for homeschooling. I’m teaching. I’m couponing…. HOURS go into saving my family money! Shopping… it takes awhile to go from store to store to get the biggest bang for your buck. I’m helping my friends and their families to save money too, by showing them the ropes and sending them reminders. I’m washing clothes and dishes, straightening up, dusting, wiping and washing the floors (CINDERELLA style, on my hands and knees). I’m preparing and cooking meals, nursing my baby and updating facebook to stay in touch with the adult world. I’m taking on my friends’ kids to give them a much needed break because they are even busier than I am. I’m entering giveaways like this one!!! And last, but certainly not least…
I’m kissing, hugging, snuggling, laughing, smiling, giggling, tickling, and playing with my children. I’m LOVING them and wouldn’t change ANYTHING!
To all you busy moms out there… God Bless and hang in there! 🙂
wow. After reading many of these comments I realize that I could be a lot busier than I am. But I am still very busy. 3 children, 2 schools, part time job, many after school activities and sports, husband who is now not as available to help (got a good job 6 weeks ago – Yahoo!!!!). Everyone’s life is busy regardless of who you are – children or no children. Better to be busy than bored! Thanks.
I am a busy mom and I love it. I have three kids, ages 9, 11, and 13. Need I say more? 🙂 And a wonderful husband. I homeschool the kids. They are involved in clarinet, trumpet, and fluteaphone. It is soccer season right now but they also do basketball. They are involved in co-op and church as well. Life is never dull but I thank God for the blessing he has given my husband and I to raise these kiddos. Thanks for this opportunity.
i had to go back to work fulltime and it is tough being gone all day, then having to go home and get dinner on the table at a reasonable hour…this sure would help
I am blessed to be a super busy mom. I have 2 amazing kids and in addition to playing cook, drivers, homework helper, nurse, support system, cheerleader. I also work full time for my 11 year old daughter and her not-for-profit that feeds people in need by growing vegetable gardens. When Katie was in the 3rd grade she brought home a tiny cabbage seedling from the Bonnie Plants 3 grade cabbage program. Well that cabbage changed our lives and made me a super busy green thumb mom. That cabbage grew to 40 pounds and Katie donated it to a soup kitchen where it fed 275 people. Our live changed after that moment and now Katie has numerous gardens and has donated thousands of pounds of healthy veggies to people in need. My new full time job is to support Katie and Katie’s Krops. I am a gardener, veggies delivery driver, fundraiser, website updater, compost hauler, teacher, you name it. It may not come with a pay check but every hectic busy moment is worth it when my daughter and her supporters help to provide a healthy meal to someone who really needs it.
I believe I am the busiest mom because I have a 12-month old baby girl who is on the go. I have an 11-year-old son with spina bifida. And did I mention I am 5 months pregnant!! To top it all off, I am full-time doctral student working to earn my PhD in higher education! I keep my home clean and orderly for my family so they can have a wonderful place to relax!!
I want to enter a friend from church who is busy because she is a grandma who was very suddenly thrust in the role of providing care for four grandchildren.
i’m sure i’m not the busiest mom in the universe! but i have my days. . . i have a 4 yr old, a 2 yr old, & a newborn. all boys! i stay at home w/ them, keep the house livable, shop 4 groceries w/ coupons, make meals, run errands, manage finances, clean a lot of dirty bottoms and am a landlord too! my husband works an odd schedule as a manager so i do most of this on my own. and yes i do all this w/ my 3 boys attached to my hip 24/7!! oh the joys of motherhood! oh and we live in a cabin in the mountains no where near any family or friends & where there’s no reception. i encounter a differernt species daily. yesterday we devised an ingenious plan to get what looked like a tarantula out of the kids room without killing it! GO MOMS!
I am a busy mom because I work Three days a week and a have two children two and under. My infant son is five months old. My husband works nights everyday of the week. So I go to worko come home take care of the babies make dinner put them to bed all while hes either sleeping or working. I am a very busy mom.
As a Mom to a 2 year old and 7 month old, I’m always on the go. I know there are tons of deserving busy moms out there, so this is a wonderful giveaway. I’m always busy taking care of the girls, working full time and doing MBA courses at night. My 7 month old was born with neuroblastoma (a cancerous tumor above her kidney), so we’re always going back and forth to Childrens hopsital (3 hour drive) to get her scans and checks. Fortunately, she has been doing so well with all the testing and, if it means I need to stay busy to keep her happy and healthy, then I wouldn’t have it any other way!
What a great prize! I am the stay at home mom of THREE boys ages 9, 6, and 2. Our life is packed with football practices, homework, reading, play dates, church, and general busyness. My husband works late many nights, so a premade meal once a week would be a huge help!
I am the busiest mom because…… I just had child number six, she’s 7 wks old :-), and my husband took a new job in another town. He is only home on weekends. Meanwhile, I get to juggle getting the 10 yr old to baseball practice/games, keep the 5 yr old twins from taking the house apart one screw at a time, participate in therapies 4 times a week for my 2 yr old little girl, make sure the 7 yr old is happy and smiling 🙂 and wake up multiple times a night to feed the baby. Somehow I manage, as all moms do, but having one meal a week taken care of without me cooking sure would make things a little bit easier!
I am a busy mom of 4…a 7yr, 3yr, and 10 month twins. When I’m not dropping my (& neighborhood kids) off at school I am picking them up. In-between I work in HR for a local small family business and take care of my deaf elderly parents (one who is a cancer survivor and in a wheelchair and the other has dementia). I’m an only child so this sole responsibility is left up to me. It would be fabulous to know that I have one night a week I can prepare a meal in minutes.
I am the busiest mom because I’ve been working 6 days a week, sometimes 12 days in a row and 12 hour days. I rarely have time for home cooked meals, so these would be about the closest my 2 kids could get some weeks. My husband works full time and is working on his masters degree, so there’s no room to delegate the cooking to him. It’s a stressful life, but those morning hugs are so worth it all! Thank you for the opportunity, God Bless!
I have three kid three and under, my husband is starting his own company next week, and we are moving in three weeks- life is crazy!
I’m the busies pet mommy around: marcello, adrian, luciano, rudy, marco, dante, bandit, franklin, thomas, pal, bob, georgeanne, trixie, catrina (all cats), zane, fritz (schnauzers) and AJ (a cockatiel) agree. Mom works full-time AND has to travel frequently and Michael Angelo’s is one of the few vegetarian meals available in non-vegetarian stores!
I am a very busy mom of an 18 month old and 21 weeks pregnant. I work full time while my husband keeps our son during the day then when I get home, I care for him and all the household duties while my husband works. I stay busy as the Director of Research, coupon searching, and working Dave Ramsey’s plan to be DEBT FREE. I also help family and friends when needed including babysitting and other things. I would share this with my mother who is a single parent of 3 and grandmother of 4. She works full time as well as helping out people in the community and keeping up with 5.5 acres of farmland. She has her own produce, eggs, and animals to care for. She would love to share this yummy with us.
I am a very busy mom like most moms. Extra curricular activities consume our lives at times. These meals would help out alot!!!
I am the busiest mom with an 8 year and a 9 month old. Our family is caretakers of a church camp (30 acres to mow weekly) plus my husaband and I both work full time. President of the PTO at my daughters schools, and getting ready for VBS at our church.
I am the busiest mom trying to keep up with three kids, laundry for 5, working, cleaning, soccer schedule and school. I’ve got to go to stop a two year old from chasing our cat right now!! Always on the go!
I would like to nominate my neighbor, Peggy Boulet to win these dinners. Peggy is a very busy mom of 7 precious and very polite children.
She is also a home-schooling parent.
I always see Peggy very happy and so friendly. She is a doll!
Thank you,

My life is a little busy, but great… I have 6 healthy children ages 10, 6, 5, 3, 1, and 2 months. I have 2 in cloth diapers, I do 3-5 loads of laundry daily. Although it does feel as if I am constantly changing diapers, cooking, homework, and cleaning up after meals- I wouldn’t trade it for anything!
I am the busiest Mom with a 7 year old 1st grader and two year old twins. My husband and I are both full time college students working on our BA degrees. In addition, I babysit my nephew one day a week. My day starts at 5 a.m. and I usually crash into bed around midnight. My husband and I have class three nights a week PLUS we are taking online courses too. These meals would help so much instead of me having to rush around after picking our oldest up trying to get something for them to eat while I am in class, I could simply serve this up. This time of year gets crazy for me since I am a volunteer with the March of Dimes (my twins were preemies) and our big Chili-Cookoff is coming up!
I have a crazy busy life, but I love it, and we try our best to keep it all balanced! I am a SAHM and the wife of a youth/young adults pastor. Every week our schedule is filled with normal work hours, 3 nightly meetings (jr high, high school, and college), other church activities (and there is always something!), mentoring sessions with as many students as we can squeeze in our schedule for the week. Of course I have normal fun activities for our precious toddler scheduled in each week, and I cant forget my couponing! Family time is very important to us, so we always keep one day free of everything to spend time as a family. A year of meals would be a HUGE blessing, especially to use on nights that we have to run back out to a meeting!
I am the busiest mom. I have been a single parent since 19. I work full time, go to school part-time, and keep up with a 10 year old who is active in sports and art. Despite help from my parents, I often don’t find the time to do much other than work, sleep and study. Sometimes I’m just too tired to cook, and we end up eating out. The other morning my daughter told me she was drinking milk for the vitamins to supplement all the fast food we had eaten last week. It made me feel awful!
I am a busy mom, My husband works over 900 miles away every week, so that makes for a overstressed, sometimes cranky mom at home with 3 kids. 12, 8, and 3. There are some days when it is just nice to throw something in the oven that doesn’t take me tons of time to prepare. This giveaway would be a great thing to win! Thanks 🙂
I’m a mom with 4 children -ages 6, 4, 2 & 10 months. I quit my job last September to stay at home. We moved out of state and I’ve had to change how I’ve done everything. Menu planning is completely different. It used to be what was convenient & fast. Now, it’s what is affordable. I’m also trying to start homeschooling. I’m so thankful we’ve been able to make this change.
I’m not Mom, But I would love give this to My Mom & Dad. My Dad work is not doing good. My mom been struggling to pay bill & getting grocery.
My mom is super busy! Shes the best
My husband’s job requires him to travel for business Mon-Fri virtually EVERY WEEK, so I get to be a single mom during the week and play mom AND dad to our three kids, ages 1, 2, and 7. Between school, homework, cub scouts, baseball, karate, cleaning, coupon clipping, grocery shopping, dry cleaning, errands, cooking, baths, etc, it’s amazing that I have any energy left at all to even climb into my bed at the end of the day! Lol. And you’d think that I’d catch a break once the hubby is home on the weekends to help out, but it’s actually quite the opposite. He’s only home for two days out of the week so we’re always cramming a gazillion things into the weekend to try to get everything done while he’s home and make up for the time he’s gone. Talk about one busy, tired mama! But, of course, I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world!
I’m not the busiest mom, but any dedicated mom is a busy one! I have a three year old that I stay home with and a household and husband to care for. I love couponing!
I am a full-time Middle School Chorus Teacher, Mommy to 2 blessings (10 and 4 yrs), and I’m 44 – too old for this insanity! :o) My hats off to all mommies – how in the world do we do this amazing roller-coaster?
I am a mom of 2 boys: 9-month old and a 15-year-old. While one just starting dating, the other is just learning to walk. However, I chase after both of them for different reasons. Since my husband and I each work two jobs, we have to juggle time slots for each other and for meals. We barely have time for either one. And, with couponing…. Well, time just gets away from me. I squeeze in time for housecleaning, which I don’t like anyway. Currently, my mother-in-law has cancer, and she lives in another country. We are desperately trying to save money to go visit her in her debilitating state. My family would love to receive free meals for a year because it would help us in so many ways. Thank you.
We are all so busy! So here I sit trying to coupon while my 4 month old naps and before the kids get home from school! Then starts: snacks, homework, t-ball, music, church and then dinner, bath and bed! how do we fit it all in? with free dinner!
Buziest mom. Is an understatement for all MOM’S. We all deserve a break. We all work hard at work, keeping the kids in order and just our lives to be straight. Boy this would be such a wonderful gift for our family if I won this. I don’t have much luck but my little inside is telling me to go for it. Im in middle of losing my house all because I kept my daughters dream allive and supported and paid ALL her college in cold cash . Yes cash.. no help from any goverment! I may now say Im HOMELESS with more kids in the house and a husband that had his career thrown out the door of 9 years of service with this company because they choose to outsource thier company. So no house , no jobs and but proud to say I have a College graduate this week .IT WAS WELL WORTH LOSING MY HOUSE OVER IT !
Would I do it again for my other kids ? I sure will. So if any one calls me carzy I am but I least my daughter might be able to support me now with her Doctor degree. IM A PROUD POOR HOMELESS MOM..
I am SOOOO the busiest mom ever! I have 3 children (4 if you count my husband) all under the age of 6. I have a full time job as a traveling speech therapist and am a member you Cure Childhood Cancer organization. Most nights of the week, we juggle ballet, t-ball, church, and potty training (peee ewwww). My 2 year old is in remission for Leukemia so we also travel 50 miles to the hospital once a week to have her counts checked. WHOOOO…I would go on, but I’m just too busy!
I am the busiest Mom ever because my husband and I own a retail business and because he is a full time seminary student getting his Master of Arts in Religion and is also a Children’s Minister, many of the business responsibilities and almost ALL of the housework is left up to me. We have a very busy six year old son who is involved in Cub Scouts, violin and t-ball and a very busy 23 month old son, so I am always going somewhere with them. Oh, did I mention that our business is an hour away from our home as well as my husband’s school and our church! Thank you for the chance to have some easy meals!
I can’t say I’m more busy than any other mommy that has posted so far.. I can only tell ya.. I feel like I’m nonstop 24/7. I have 4 children ages 12, 10, 7, and 10 weeks as of today 🙂 My stepdaughter I get every weekend is 11. My husband was put working 12 hour shifts, 6pm-6am a few weeks before my daughter was born. It was supposed to be temporary hours until they found someone to fill the position and he could return to regular hours. As of now, 3 months later he still has those hours. We also have a farm so when he wakes up he feeds.. and on weekends hes doing alot of work on fences and stuff. So, basically I’m mommy and daddy all week long. My days go.. Get up at 6am to get kids ready for school. Take care of baby while dad sleeps til about 230-3pm. Other kids get home at about 330. Homework, Cook dinner, Oh and dad leaves at 530. Baths bedtime, get up in the nite for the baby and up again at 6am to do it all over! I hardly have time to go to the bathroom.. much less cook really good dinners for the children unless dad is home. I’m busy.. I don’t deserve it no more than anyone else who is also busy. It would just make life a little better and happier once a week 🙂 Thank you~Jamie
I know I’m the the BUSIEST mom, but I’m pretty darn busy. I have a 9 week old and a 19 month old. I’m returning back to work full time next week as a home health therapist, which will definitely make my life much more busy!
I am the busiest mom because I have three children under the age of two. My son is 2 and my twin girls are 1!
I am a mom with 3 girls (11, 10, and 5) and a husband. My husband works full time plus farms. So I am always having to help him move equipment from place to place. My two oldest girls play softball and basketball while my youngest is getting ready to start kindergarten. I also work full time teaching kindergarten during the day and carrying my girls to all of their practices and games during the evening.
I don’t know that I’m the busiest, but I have three boys 5 and under who rund up to me after I get home from work with that ,”What’s for dinner?” look on their faces and these would come in handy.
My mom loves the M.A. eggplant parmesan.
my mom is the busiest mom.she was told in january she had cancer and still tried to get up and take all three of us to school.she would be in so much pain and throwing up in the car as she was driving and still would try to take us.what a great and caring mom.thank you for all your time!!
I’m pretty sure there are moms that are busier than me (positive of it), but I am still a pretty busy mother. I have 3 kids, (1 in Kindergarten, 2 younger boys). We have dance, t-ball, teaching bible class at church, couponing, researching the home school option (which has been very time consuming), cooking, cleaning, family time, keeping up with the garden, doctor’s appointments, birthdays galore, field day, field trips, I’m the room mother to two of my children’s classrooms, coordinating teacher appreciation week (which is this week if you need to appreciate a teacher), kindergarten program (and graduation to come), etc. I’m just tired listing it all. I’m so thankful that we don’t have any hard and trying times to add to all of this. I would definitely appreciate having one meal a week handled.
Although I am very busy with two little ones, working in the family business, continuing to provide occasional staff trainings as a professional social worker, and serving where possible, I would like to nominate another mommy.
Jenni and her husband have adopted two beautiful children from Haiti, ages 4 & 6, along with the most recent addition of a biological son, age 1. Jenni homeschools her older two children, while being very active in her childrens’ activities and ministry. Her son is involved in baseball and coop, while her daughter is in dance. Jenni serves in a MOPS (Mother of Preschoolers) ministry for single and young moms, as well as the children’s ministry at church. Their family is also a Safe Family with Bethany Christian Services, providing temporary care for families in crisis, while the kids remain in the biological family’s legal custody.
As if all of that was not enough, they are currently working toward moving to the Dominican Republic to be full-time missionaries with orphans. I know that any financial help they can get will be much appreciated, as they save everything they can to make the big move!
If Jenni is chosen, I will pass along her email address to you!
Thank you so much!!
I am a 30 week pregnant, stay at home mom, and mother to a 2 yr old, which definitely puts me in the “busy” category. I love my job more than any sales & marketing job I have held in the past and consider myself lucky to spend my days teaching and chasing my 2 year old son! I am so excited to welcome our new baby to our family in July but will spend the next 2 months running around making sure everything is ready for our new little guy, all the while raising our little man and “maintaining” our cramped house!!
I am so busy taking care of 2 teenagers, my husband and 2 in-laws in a nursing home. Although I no longer have little ones, my mom duties never end. I am disabled with rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia so dealing with pain each day takes alot of my energy. I still love to cook for my family and we try to sit down to dinner together each night. After a full day of cleaning, laundry, schedules, appointments, ballgames, shopping, etc. sometimes preparing a meal is a challenge. Winning this year of meals would be unbelievable for me! I hope you will consider my busy mom story.
I am a very busy mom I work full time in an accounting firm along with being a mother to two children, but I am not nearly as busy as my mother-in-law. She keeps my two children everyday. My daughter is 3 almost 4 with an attitude of a teenager and my son is 16 months and into everything. You can’t leave him alone for a minute or he will be on top of something or into something he shouldn’t be. Plus she sometimes keeps my 4 yr old nephew and 1 1/2 yr old niece who is also into everything. Along with keeping them they have frequent sleepovers and she attends all baseball and soccer games. When she’s not chasing one of her grandchildren she is trying to keep up with everything going on in her 4 children’s lives and make sure they are taken care of and that they know she’s there if they need them. My sister-in-law has been diagnosed with cancer so my mother-in-law is going to stay with her and take care of her two children. My sister in law lives in the Northeast, we live in the Southeast. So she has a lot of stress on her. She was also taking care of her mother full time who had been living with them since 2004. She passed last year so she has been trying to settle her estate and evenly distribute Gram’s belongings. Did I mention her husband is a firefighter so she is also the fire station mother and makes sure everyone else is taken care of. Not to mention baking cakes for everyone and helping everywhere she is needed. This would be a great relief to her with her very very busy schedule.
I have 3 kids, ages 6, 5, and 2, and I take them everywhere!
what’s for dinner….if i hear that anymore i’ll scream
Well, being busy comes with the territory of being a mom. I have three little girls, a vivacious 5 year old, a sneeky 3 year old and a very loud and goofy 1 year old. My husband is currently finishing up his master’s degree, trying to start a church two states away and currently is serving as a pastor. Between keeping up with daddy’s schedule, dance classes, play dates, packing a house to move in 8 weeks I am very busy. Trying to keep healthy and fast foods in the tummies of my kids is very important to me. But with such a busy schedule sometimes it is very hard so any help would be very much appreciated.
My three daughters are all grown up now and I thought my busiest mom role would be delinquent. How wrong could I be! Now I work full time, take care of two toddlers and a three month old baby every weekend, babysit for a dog and two cats and feed the entire family, pets, kids, boyfriends, husbands and visiting friends whenever they all show up – which is very frequently. I wouldn’t change a thing about my life but one meal I don’t have to cook each week for a whole year would be an absolutely wonderful blessing for me!
My friend Deanne is the busiest mom. She has a two kids 5 and under. One is special needs and she’s constanly going from appointment to therapy etc. She never conplains and is always thinking of others. She’s a stay at home mom and her husband works hard to support family, traveling some. She has no family here to help her. Thankfully she does have wonderful friends and church family. I would love to see this family win the meals/
Is there a mom who isn’t busy? While being a busy mom is at times overwhelming, it is my biggest blessing. I am so grateful to be busy at home with three very active children who keep the house very “lived-in”, get very dirty playing outside, who complain way too much about their homeschool work and who charm me and make my heart happy.
I am a working Mom of 3 girls and I’ve tried my hardest to try and have a meal at home each night. I think it’s important to have that special family bonding time around the table. My girls absolutely love italian food and I do cook it a lot. I like to know that they get a good wholesome meal at least one meal a day. They look forward to it everyday!
I have 2 wonderful kids and 2 full time jobs. Being a nurse working 7am-7pm I get home around 8-830. My husband also works and TRIES to cook, but usually isn’t so successful 🙂 So if I don’t have time to freeze ahead dinners, Meals like Michael Angelos lasagna save me! Its so easy my husband can make them, and taste great too! I don’t have to worry my boys aren’t eating enough for those nights when I get home late. We pinch pennies like many other families so usually if it isn’t on sale, it isn’t in the cart. This would be a huge help to our family and think it’s great this company is making this promotion available to busy families everywhere. It makes me want to support Michael Angelos that much more in the future! Thanks

Well, I know we ALL say we are BUSY, right?? Well, how busy are we really?? Are we as busy as we allow ourselves or are we simply overlooking the fact that EVERYONE has obstacles to overcome! Is it all in our strategy and how organized we are, or do we REALLY have more to do than most?? There are those that work full-time, those that work part-time, those that don’t work at all, those that work volunteer work, and those that own and operate their own business! Well, I am currently all of the above! I do get in a rut and think I am the ONLY one that does not have it all together sometimes! I see others and wonder HOW they do it. But when it is all said and done I believe that each day I am fullfilled by this wonderful life that God has allowed me to be a part of and blessed to have a kind, thoughtful son, age 8, and a sweet, loving daughter, age 5! They are my joy! They are my heart! They keep me going and make me realize that even if I am NOT together, it is all about the journey, because LIFE “IS” the journey…destination should be simply HAPPINESS! Now it becomes about how we preceive life and how our minds work!! I’d say we are ALL in this together, let us make the most of it and enjoy our messy brains, our lack of togetherness and the fun we can have when we become THANKFUL for the little things in life!! If we weren’t busy, what would we have to look forward to each day?? Embrace it!
I know we all are busy moms but I would love to win this prize. I work 2 to 4 jobs a day and have 3 children that runs me in a million directions. My day starts at 6 am and I get home at 8 or 9 in the evening with still dinner to prepare. This would be great just to have a break from having to prepare a meal on this one night. My husband works a full time 12 hr swing shift job and voluntarily coaches jv baseball and equipment manager for the high school football team, in addition, he is a hunter so with all this he is not able to help much in the cooking dept. I have a middle schooler, a high schooler and a live at home college student. We have 5 different schedules so alot of nights I cook 3 different dinners due to work schedules. This prize would be a relief to me just to have something to throw in the oven for one of the 3 meals I have to prepare for one of the late workers. I could continue on but I am very busy with no relief in sight. Thanks for offering this great giveaway.
I know there are a lot of busy Moms in this crazy world, but I among the busiest. I am the Mom of 2.5 year old girl and a 1.5 year old son. In order to avoid daycare, my husband works from 5:00am until 1:30pm while I stay with the children. Then he comes home and I jet off to work from 2pm until 9pm. It is great not to depend on outside help, but there is no time to relax. And a ready to go meal, once a week without very little thought involved would be heaven sent. Thanks for your consideration!!
Mom is synamous with busy. I work full time and have an 11 year old. I leave my home at 7:00 am and it is 7:00 pm before I get home. That gives me two hours before my sons bedtime to feed him, do home work and then take a bath before bed. I am also working on my masters degree. That work comes after my son is in the bed. These meals would allow us time to eat together because the preparation would take such little time. That would really add to the quality of our lives.
I can say that I stay quite busy. I have a husband and two kids (15 and 16). My mother also lives with us. My husband is wonderful hard working man but when he gets home the chores tend to be left to me. I know he works hard so I don’t mind that job. My mom works outside the home and tends to be quite lazy when she gets home so I choose to do the work instead of asking her to do anything. I was blessed with 2 very active kids. It helps that my son can drive to school, baseball and football but the worries of where he is going takes the place of actually taking him there. My daughter is active in the HS dance team and also works part time. I try to have supper ready fairly early because they all come in at different times. We attend church when the church doors are open. Did I mention I work 2 jobs??? Winning a free dinner for a year would really help in the huscle and buscle of life (and the expense that comes with having active children). Thanks for chance to win this. This is a great prize for who ever wins!!!
I am a very busy mother. I have 2 little girls 3 and 15 months. I work a full time job, and when I am not there I am bringing my 3 year old to dancing class, and cleaning the house and cooking dinner, and somewhere in there finding time to play with my girls and exercise to attempt to take care of myself.
Recently my husband lost his job, and this makes my life more hectic. One would think that he would be pitching in more at home, but he’s not. So lately on top of the everyday things I am also working extra hard to take care of everything while my husband looks for a job. This includes bumping up my sale shopping and coupon clipping so that we can afford to keep food on the table.
Thanks for taking time to consider me.
I am the busiest mom because after having my second child, i have not such a good memory, so i am all about quick and easy meals. don’t have to use the brain too much. thanks
We are the busiest moms b/c- First of all I have just become single. My husband and I are going through a divorce and I am taking care of my very energetic son Eli. My husband says he wants to spend time with our son and talk to him however he never calls or tries to see him. He only saw him 2 two times last month and called him on the phone once. Actions speak lounder than words as far as I am concered. Anyway, that doesn’t leave too much mommy time in there. I am however, very lucky that my mother has taken us under her wing and is helping out financially as well as emotionally. I guess she never expected to have her 35 yr old dauther back in the house. She leaves for work at 5:30 every morning but still has time to give to us. During the day I have taken over the project of our house which was being restored by my husband. All the windows, doors and some walls are being replaced- by me. I let Eli “paint” the floors with a roller and some paint so he can help. (It’s actually water in a pan but it makes him feel like he is helping out). Then at the end of the day we head to my moms to have some family time, eat, and then it’s off to bed. Eli doesn’t go to bed till 9:30 so I get about 1.5 hours of rest after that. My mom always sits with me downstairs to watch a show on tv from 10-11pm. She says she’s not tired but I catch her falling asleep with her mouth open as she states “I am just resting my eyes”. I know she just does it for me so we can have some time together. Shes actually really pooped. She is 65. Then we both get up the next morning and do it all again. I love her very much and appreciate everything she had done for us. My son is the greatest gift from God. I don’t mind one second being pooped for him. When I get tired I just remind myself that he is my everything and I do it all for him. Thanks.
I am a busy mom. I travel two to three weeks a month and on weeks that I am in town, making dinner is the last task on my mind. This would help not only mommy out but busy daddy as well.
My boss is one of the busiest moms that I know of hence the reason why I am writing this. She has two children, two grandchildren, and two more grandchildren on the way! She is a full time Real Estate Agent. With the economy, you can imagine how hard she must work to make a living. Business is actually picking up in our area, and she has had quite a bit of appointments recently – some even at 8 p.m.! Being a Real Estate Agent, she doesn’t have set hours to work. She works whenever a person needs her! She also owns 20 rental properties. Taking care of rental properties is a job in its own! She has to make sure to keep track of which tenants have paid and how much the tenants have paid. She has to make sure each of the properties are maintained properly. Not only does she take care of her 20 properties, she also manages four other’s properties. She treats those properties like they were one of her own. Personally, I honestly don’t see how she has any time at the end of the day. She somehow creates more hours in a day than what most of us do!
I am the busiest mom because I have twin daughters that are 13 and into every sport and social activity out there. And I also have a 21 month old son who is spoiled rotten due to having 13 year old twin sisters in the house! Things get so hetic with all the girls activities my poor son is drug around every evening after spending all day in daycare, then has to wait on supper to get done once we finally get home. My family loves these dinners and a years supply would be like heaven on earth.
If you are a Mom, like me, then our work is never done. But, I really enjoy feeding my family healthy meals as much as our budget allows. This product would fit nicely into our weekly menu. I have not heard of this product before now and can’t wait to give it a try. Thanks to blogs like this who do all the hard work so we can have a chance at great deals like this. I would love to win, but good luck to everyone.
Busiest mom—-two boys under age 4, a puppy, a fulltime job, and three levels of house to clean!!!
I am a single mom of a 10 year old and a 5 year old. They keep me busy with just school work and so forth, but in addition to that they both played soccer this season so we have been at the soccer field at least 4 days a week! Also, since i am a single mom I work full time and am still responsible for all of the “normal stuff” (cooking, cleaning, paying billes, etc). So while I am not the busiest Mom, I sure feel like sometimes – as we all do!
I am super busy!
At 25 I am already the busy mom of an almost-four-year-old little girl, and a two-and-a-half-year-old little boy. I stay busy with preschooling my daughter at home, taking the kids with me to my husbands office for a few hours each day to help out there, couponing to save a little as we are a one-income family, church activities including Sunday School, Awana, VBS, playdates, volunteer work, and family activities with my parents and in-laws who all live close by and love spending time with their grandkids. We certainly stay busy, but we must be having fun with it because time definitely flies!
Life is great, but so hectic. I have a full time job 35 minutes away from home and my husband travels every week. Sometimes on the weekend, he has a part time job that takes him out of town so the cooking, cleaning and taxiing falls on me. Our two kids love sports and church. Mondays and Wednesday my youngest has swimming lessons, Tuesdays and Thursdays my oldest has baseball practice and baseball games on Fridays and Saturdays. The weekends fill up with birthday parties and church activities. Soccer season just ended and football and fall baseball season is starting to gear up. Since I don’t have time to exercise before or after work, I take Zumba classes during my lunch hour. Free meals for the year would allow me to spend more quality time with my family by helping them do homework and playing games together while enjoying a healthy (fast) meal. Thank you so much for recognizing the working mother’s plight! 🙂
Yep, I am also finding myself VERY busy here lately…..
We have an eight year old, who is very into baseball, taking up 3-5 DAYS A WEEK! (It is little league).
We just rented our condo and looking for a house to move into QUICK before our “expected arrival” gets here.
Meanwhile, my husband (who should be having back surgery very soon) is not able to work, leaving the working duties to me – between baseball, birthday parties & doctor visits, I still need to work 12+ hours during the week at work to stay ahead.
Free meal coupons – please remember me!
What mom isn’t busy? I’m a busy mom with children, career, and home to keep up, and too many planned actiivites! 🙂
I’m an on-the-go high school teacher and pastor’s wife, but most importantly, I’m the mom of 2 great kids, ages 9 and 11. Between music lessons, church and school activities, athletics, and making time for hubby and me, I find myself scrambling to come up with healthy, satisfying dinners. To save money, we’ve recently determined to stop eating out during the week, and I have to admit I feel a little overwhelmed when planning lunches and dinners. To have one meal a week already done would be such a blessing! It would replace the one dinner out we were accustomed to. What a great opportunity . . . thanks!
I homeschool an 12 and 13 year old, coach track, taxi the children to their activities, tutor when I have time, teach on Wednesday night at chuch, and participate in Sunday church activities day and night, with a heart filled with gratitude.

Am I a busy mom! My second wave of child (a beautiful daughter) is 17 years old now so I am a grandmother with my older sons. My husband is unemployed and is looking for work out of state so I have to manage everything on a short shoe-string. My husband is tyring to start two businesses so I am involved in that as well as trying to start my own. My mom (82) lives independently out of state so I also am her mother and help with bills and everything else I can do from the other side of the country. Added to that a great dog who likes to walk.
I would sooooooo appreciate the help winning a year worth of Michael Angelo’s meals would provide.
Thanks for considering me!
I am a busy mom. I have a 2yr old son and work full time M-F. I also find time to cut coupons to save on our groceries and household necessities. I have started playing softball for our church as well. On weekdays I do not get home until 6:15 at the earliest and then it’s time to get ready for the next day and fix something for dinner. It seems as though I am constantly just grabbing what’s easy for dinner and sometimes even fast food. It would be wonderful to win this as we would have planned meals atleast once a week.
I may not be the busiest mom, but I stay extremely busy. I have a husband who’s a full time medical student and a 4-year old son. I work full-time and we just found out we will be re-locating for residency very soon (mid June). Elated I am, but this comes along with many more things that have to be done. My daily after work routine now includes everything that goes along with relocating. Cleaning my home for potential buyers to see, checking for a new place to stay in our new state, coordinating care for our son at a new school, coordinating travel times to our new place, etc. In addition to that, I’m also planning the big graduation celebration! I also have to fit in my “couponing” time, I’m sure most everyone could agree there’s just not enough hours in the day. Thanks!
I would have to say that I am probably not the “busiest” mom in the world, but I certainly do have a full plate! I have a wonderful 10 year old son and husband, I’m a stay at home wife and mother, and I try to keep everything and everyone organized! Michael Angelo’s are wonderful, especially when we have a basketball practice or Scout meeting. I can just throw one in the oven! PICK ME!!
All moms are busy, but I would LOVE to win!!!!
I am a very busy mom of 2 twin boys age 2 ! and boy are we going threw the trable 2’s here and could use a year off of cooking PLEASE
I am the busiest mom! I have 3 children that attend 3 different schools. Each child is involve in activities at school. I attend and volunteer at all function at school as well as their games home and away. My husband have a crazy work schedule, which leaves me to handle most of the cooking and housework. My work schedule is 7:15 to 3:45. After leaving work I pick the kids up from school or attend their games home and away, which cause us to get home late. I need something that will not take long to prepare or cook. Having Michael Angelo’s meal will help out tremendously. This will help us as a family, because we will be able to spend time together at the table, instead of preparing a meal that will take a long time to cook.
I’m a very busy mom- here it goes- Mondays: help organize and teach classes at our homeschool co-op for 5 hours, piano lessons, cleaning, and cooking and sometimes working 7-11pm. Tuesday- THursday: homeschooling my two kids, ballet, guitar, tennis, field trips, church, appointments, cooking and cleaning. Friday and Saturday nights I put in 24 hours of work at the hospital as an RN between those two nights. Sunday: church and CRASH!
Like all other moms I am very busy too. Any time that can be saved my a quick meal is wonderful. A free meal would make it even better 😉
Everyday is an adventure. Two boys 15 and 17 and a wonderful husband means lots of testosterone and smelly shoes at my house. We have a busy schedule with my husband’s landscaping business, school, church and my job but it is my goal for us to sit down together EVERY night and eat dinner. We don’t make it all the time but I’d say we get it right 95% of the time. Help with dinner once a week would be awesome !! Thanks
Thanks for the chance to win these. My family is very busy and would love these.
I am the busiest mom; first off, I have terminal Crohn’s disease causing me to have 12 surgeries in the past 15 years. I have a son with Tourette Syndrome and one with ADHD so between the three of us we spend much time running between doctors. My husband works 12 hour shifts an hour and a half from home so he is gone 15-16 hours per day leaving him unable to help much at home. I home school my son that has Tourette Syndrome and I founded and run a local exotic bird rescue and educational group. Currently housing over 50 birds that must be fed, cleaned up after and provided with love and attention. All of this is done by my son and I daily. Many have medical or behavioral issues which require time and patience. We also provide educational presentations as a service to our community in hope of helping people make an informed decision regarding bird ownership. Finally, I am very active in my church which requires my time and I work with my 2 boy’s scout troops. So with all of this I think I qualify as a pretty busy Mom.
While I am sure that I am not the busiest mom, as a new mom to a little boy, any help with dinner is appreciated!
Not only am I “Mom” to my own kids, but
I teach, so for 7 hours a day I am the “Mom” to first grade!
Thanks for the chance to win. We would love to save some time by cooking less!
Hi! I am a pretty busy mom of 3 precious angels! 5,3,and 8mths. I stay home with the girls but stay very busy! I feel like my day never ends! I go to bed thinking of things I should be trying to get done instead of sleeping! My girls are number 1 and their nutrition is very important to us. My husband works nights so we are always in a rush to get dinner ready so we can sit down and have a family meal. It is very important to me to have family dinner because I didnt have that as a child. I love what I do and wouldnt change anything….except for of course a good meal from Michael Angelo’s!!
Thanks for doing this!
I am not the busiest mom for sure but I do stay pretty busy. I am a stay at home wife and mother. We have two children a daughter who is 7 and involved in dance, girlscouts and softball. Our son is 5 and he is a handfull all on his own. He is in tball. My husband is the night shift supervisor for the respiratory therapy department at our areas largest hospital. He is also a full time student in seminary and occasionally fills in for local pastors.
We have been blessed enough to live beside my grandmother who is 84, she will be 85 next month. Thankfully she is in pretty good health but because of her age there are many doctor appointments. Also I do all of her shopping and help her around the house with the heavy cleaning and yard work.
Im not the busiest mom I know but like I said I stay pretty busy.
I nominate my mother to win because she is much busier than I am. I have a 10 month old who likes to eat everything he sees, so he requires constant vigilance, and a 2 year old who doesn’t know the meaning of “gentle”, so he too requires constant vigilance around the baby. I also nanny for a 3, 5, and 7 year old many afternoons. BUT we live with my parents while my husband is looking for a better-paying job and we pay off student loans, so my mom helps me with my kids and does the majority of the cooking and cleaning and grocery shopping for 8 people, because I have a hard time getting anything done when my kids are awake. My mom is also planning my sister’s wedding which is in 2 1/2 weeks while my sister graduates from college. She does a lot for our family and deserves to have a night off from cooking once a week!
busy, busy, busy….but blessed!! I am a mom of 3 boys and have been married for 12 years. I am a 1st grade school teacher at a Title 1 elementary school. Daily i am a mother to the mother-less, a comforter, a judge, nurse, needs provider, counselor, and so many other things! My own boys have special needs: one has autism-nonverbal and ADHD, while another is ADHD. I work part-time on the weekends as a party consultant for children’s birthday parties to make ends meet. I am also going to grad school this summer to get my master’s degree to better myself, my family, and my community. I would LOVE and DEEPLY appreciate winning these meals. I enjoy cooking for my family. I would also share these with my mother who is a school teacher and a caregiver to her 85 year old mother (who is blind, on oxygen 24/7, has cancer and a stint in her stomache). Thanks so much for making this available and considering me!
I am a very busy mother who works in marketing and find myself on he road 4-5 days a week, rushing to pick up both kids from daycare and school and wondering WHAT CAN WE EAT TONIGHT! I have a wonderful Husband, whose only argument, after 16 years of marriage is “I don’t plan meals to cook”. It is only out of Love for my 3 year old son and 11 year old daugter, that I want to spend all my time playing with them, instead of being stuck in the kitchen cooking and cleaning for two hours, to eat in 15-20 min if we are lucky. We do sit down together every night and our 3 year old says the prayer and then we enjoy conversation about what took place during all of our days. Of course, the three year old is a challange when time for others to talk. HA I would love to have the opportunity to receive this wonderful gift to enjoy once a week with my family. Did I mention finding time to clean the house, do the laundry, clean out the refridge, buy grocerys (tryin to use coupons now and learning slowly how to use them to my advantage) and make certain the kids are bathed and we have everything for school the next day, Remembering to change the sheets and etc…1000 more Icould mention…No spare time it seems, but it is AMAZING that we mom’s manage to get it all done. I really do not like spening my saturdays cleaning, as I just want to spend time playing with my kids and enjoying the simple things in life, like planting flowes and riding the bikes with my family. Thanks for doing this and I know your decision will be hard…but to the MOM that wins, you go girl! Enjoy the gift for all of us as we are all GREAT MOMS!
I will be the busiest mom in a couple months when my first child is born!!
I am a busy mom of 2 beautiful adopted daughters, 2 & 6 and a foster mom to the biological sibling of my 2 yr. old. I just had a foster child be reunited with his mom after almost 2 years with us, and thought we’d take a little time to process the change in our life, when only 3 weeks later God brought this precious one our way. The girls are only 14 months apart, and weigh almost the same amount, so I spend alot of my time with one on either hip. We also have our own business and I do the books (well, I have a pile waiting to do:-)) One thing about fostering that many people may not realize, we’ve have only had her less than 3 weeks, is “You just had a baby”! Doesn’t matter what age the child is, or if you did the birthing….a meal once a week, and for a year at that, would be a lovely thing. Then, my hands are free to keep holding these sweet babies!
I am the busiest mom because I am a full time stay at home mom! Many people assume that stay at home mothers are lazy, but that is totally opposite. Homemakers have not one or two jobs, but many jobs! I do all the cooking, cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, coupon shopping (and everyone know that it takes endless hours every week to find the best deals possible!) I take care of the dog and cat, run errands,pay the bills, deal with the bank and insurance company, and babysit my best friends two year old daughter and newborn baby boy twice a week for free. I also go to school full time while helping my husband with his school work. I share almost half of my free products I get from my coupon shopping with the homeless and the church. I am a very strong military wife and often have to do everything on my own when my husband is deployed. He was been deployed three times for 6 months or longer in the last four years and that isn’t including the number of countless times he’s been on small outings, sometimes one week, sometimes 2 months. I live days away from any family whom I miss so much! I try and keep my family fit and healthy.I exercise on a daily basis. I do this, all the while chasing my two year old son around the house!I am my mother. My mother taught me what it means to be strong and to work hard. I work just as hard if not harder than anyone else out there. I know I deserve to win a break once a week with a free meal to feed my boys!
I am the busiest Mom because I spend all day chasing around my INCREDIBLY active 8-month-old daughter. Resting is not something she understands, and she wants me to be there doing everything with her, so…resting isn’t in my vocabulary these days either 🙂
Well, I know we are all busy mother’s, but just to give a little insite on my life…..
I am a full time working mother of 3, DS12, DS2, & DD1. 5 days a week of running the older one to a friends house to stay at until school starts, running the 2 little ones to the sitter, then myself to work a 9.5 hour day and then back all over again at 4:30. Home by 5:30, dinner by 6:00, batch by 7:00, bed by 8 & then the older by 9:30. Finally 9:30, I get to sit down and hear myself think. This would be a wonderful gift for myself or any one of these other mother’s that have busy lives like I do!
Thanks for the great giveaway and god bless!
I am a busy mom because I work 40+ hours a week to provide a living for my children while devoting all my time not at work to making sure my children are healthy and happy.
Wow! No long life story, just lots of things to do with teenagers!
my sixteen month old energizer boy is the main focus in my busy mom life! balancing his care/entertainment with my part time hotel job, staying close to my darling husband and keeping our house in order is a real feat!!
Busy is an understatement, isn’t it, Moms? From the time you wake up, you hit the ground running until way after those kiddies are asleep at night! With meals, grocery shopping, making lunches, and schoolwork, there’s no time for much else. And we love Michaelangelos lasagnes!!! The whole family loves them. I’m crossing my fingers to win this give-a-way!
I am the busiest mom because I am a stay at home mom to two boys ages 3 and 1 & 1/2 as well as a full time (online) student. I have recently come to couponing so that we can hopefully be able to one day buy a house. It has helped me save a lot of money at the store, but not enough that we can go out to eat everytime that I am too busy to cook (which is a lot sometimes!). I often stay up late 11 or so and get up before 6 AM so that I can work out. Not having to worry about what’s for dinner would really help me out!
I am a wife and mother of two little girls. But i think what makes me the busiest is my love for my job. I am a nurse that works in a Newborn Intensive care unit, i love the babies and when out of work i am involved with supporting the families of these sick kids. I had a sick child in intesive care for 2 months, so i know how it feels. I would love to win this giveaway so i can donate these meals to the families who need them and don’t have time for cooking for themselves and other children.
I have a 3 year-old, a 2 year-old, and a 9 month old. I work part-time, babysit a few days a week, and am active in our church. I love to sew,knit, crochet and garden. I try to exercise too, but that seems to be harder now days!
I am not the busiest Mom, I am the busiest Grandma. My daughters rely on me to take care of their children while they work outside the home. I have a 7 year old granddaugter, a 4 year old granddaughter, a 4 year old grandson and a 1 year old grandson. They keep young, that is for sure. I would love to win this prize.
Thank you for the opportunity. I think all moms are busy in their own ways
this would be so great, I so busy doing kid things, cooking cleaning running around, and helpping my huband on the farm.
I am probably not the busiest mom, but do feel like I am busy enough. I work part time, and right now am helping my daughter who had a baby two weeks ago. So between keeping up at home and helping her out, I feel like I’m always running. I think every mom is busy. When you’re a mother, there’s just no end!
I am a busy mom, although I only have one child, I run a family daycare out of my home, that’s what keeps me busy!
Hello! After reading through some of these responses, I will be the first to admit I’m not the busiest mom, but I would still love to win dinner for a year! I am blessed with two beautiful children (4ys and 8mo) who keep me extremely busy evey evening after getting home from a full-time job. It is very hard to leave them at daycare during the day, but unfortunately in order to pay the bills I have to go to work. Thanks for this opportunity and what a great prize for someone to not have to worry about cooking! Good luck everyone!
I am definitely a busy mom, as I know all moms are. Mom and busy are synonymous in my opinion. I am a proud mother of 3 teenage daughters, twins-13, and oldest-17. They are all involved in school activities such as band, chorus, soccer, Beta Club, etc. I am also a kindergarten teacher and consider myself surrogate mom to 21 wonderful children for 6 hours a day. In addition, I am a girl scout leader to a troop of 12 girls, ages 5-13. In addition to all of these responsibilities, I am actively involved in the music department of my church. Between school, kids’ activities, work, church, and girl scouts, I rarely get a free minute. Needless to say, I can add to those responsibilities the additional job of couponing to save money.Having easy-to-prepare free meals for a year would be a God-send!
I am a very busy mom to three kids. One of which has a medical condition that has us visiting her specialist alot. I work part-time, volunteer at school, and in many other areas. Would love to win this!
I am nominating my sister for this award. She has 3 children, all under the age of 4. Two are in diapers, one is very opinionated, and the oldest is the leader of the pack! Besides being a mom, she also teaches pre-school to the two oldest and works as an occupational therapist. A meal that she doesn’t have to think about would be awesome! Thanks!
2 year old, college instructor, honor’s student adviser, wife, daughter, sister, chuch member… I feel like the busiest mom! These meals would help me out so much! Thanks!
I am the busiest mom of a 10 year old boy. Balancing his schedule of black-belt karate, school,and after school engagements, with mine of fulltime school, full time job, volunteering for the local food bank and Homeowners Assoc, plus household duties (breakfast, lunch and dinner, two cats, a husband who thinks dinner is a box of Stove-Top only if you aren’t watching him) its a wonder that I even find time to get dressed in the morning. Having a diner already prepared would be a blessing in and of itself! If only we could have give aways for housecleaning, personal shoppers and masseuses too! 🙂 Thank you so much for considering me!
I have three little ones under 5 and am going back to school!
I’m a mom of three. One of which is a 2 yearold, so between trying to do it all, I’ve also got to redo it all as my little tornado follows behind me undoing. : ) So busiest?…maybe not, but atleast it feels that way some days.
for my mom which was able to put up with her kids through our good times and not so good times
I am not a mom, but i am busy on the computer trying to save us money. I am printing great coupons, and I am getting all the deals that I can possibly get. Besides doing this, I also have housework to do and shopping to do.
Hi everyone! I’ve been reading a few of the comments, and it sounds like we’re all some busy, busy mommies!!:)
I’m a full time mom of two boys, Chase is 6 and Cash is about to be 1. Chase is in Kindergarten, and after school every day we’re running non-stop with t-ball games,practices, karate when not in t-ball, soccer, birthday parties, playdates- you name it. We get home late & starving every night. Cash has been crawling ninety miles an hour for months now, and is starting to take a few steps. He is definitely an active baby!! I’m also a full time college student, but take all my classes online. That makes it a little harder, since you have very little instruction, but it keeps someone else from watching the boys or having to go to daycare. It would be easier if my husband had a normal job,but he’s out of town for work Monday thru Friday and is only home on Saturdays and Sundays. So, i’m technically a single mom 5 out of 7 days of the week. I always had my parents to help, but they live too far away now, and my husband’s mom passed away (unexpectedly & just in her 50’s) last year. She passed away 2 months before our youngest was born, so she missed seeing him by just those 2 months. Anyway, We’re definitely busy, and stay running all the time, but wouldn’t trade it for anything.<3
I am definitely the busiest mom in my home!! We have 3 great kids & I have one busy husband. I homeschool our children plus have all the usual cooking, cleaning, laundry chores…we have 2 dogs, 1 cat & 3 parakeets! I just started couponing seriously & it is as if I have taken on another full-time job! -I’m really hoping this one gets easier as I learn more! Thanks for the opportunity to win a meal a week for a year!
I am an (un)conventional mom of seven cats and a 100+ boatload of others’ cats in my personal boarding services each week. It’s very hectic and time consuming, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I am a busy mom, if I win I will repost a comment on why I am busy. 🙂
Well – I’m as busy as most moms and could so use a year of free meals!
Lisa
I am the busiest mom because I work full-time, take care of my daughter and puppy, and coupon full-time. There just aren’t enough hours in the day to get everything done.
I am the busiest mom because my husband and I have a blended family with eight kids aged 22 to 3 yrs old. Two of them are seniors this year and we are trying to get the into college. There is tons of paperwork to do on top of the regular mom duties!
While I am indeed a very busy mom to 2 young boys (and the owner of my own business, there are many other moms in greater need. Nothing would give me more joy than to donate the entire winnings to my friend Sarah who is single-handedly raising her infant and young daughter. She is struggling financially to pay her bills so this would ease a huge burden on her.
I am a mother of 6 children. There ages are 10,11,14,21,23,25. add in 2 grandchildren that i sometimes watch for my daughter. Plus i have a son and a daughter getting married this summer. Between family life, part-time work, and church service, i feel like i am a very busy Mom. I sometimes feel like a balanced meal is too much for me. This would be very helpful in my crazy life.
for my mom who put up with us through the good times and not so good times
I am a busy, busy mom. At the end of July I will have my 4th baby, this will make 4 babies in the last 5 years! (No twins, either!) It’s crazy but fun.
I’m so busy I don’t have the time to tell you how busy I am. So I hope I win so dinner once a week could be taken care of by Michael Angelos. Thanks.
OK So I qualify for being the busiest Mom to be!! My husband and I are expecting our first child in August and alohough I am excited I have never been SO BUSY!!! I have heard it ONLY get busier!!! So as a first time mom I think I should qualify for a little help– Thanks a MILLION!!!!
I work full-time and teach an accounting course at the University. Add to that married to a husband who works retail and a 15-year-old son who eats us out of house and home! Whew!
I am a busy mom of my 3 and 4 year old kids while working full time. Even with our work schedules, we like to keep our kids very active and involved (which they love) including dance, story time, musical jamboree, preschool, zoo classes, t-ball, soccer, safe-t-city, etc. I wouldn’t trade any of it for the world! I would love to have some help with some dinners! That would make life and running around a lot easier! Thanks!
I love being a mom and even though I’m busy and sometimes feel like pulling out my hair…I wouldn’t trade this job for anything else in the world! I will say that my life might get a little easier with a year of free meals!!! 🙂
I’m an ER nurse on the weekends. Full time mom during the week to three precious girls. Wife to a youth pastor who is also a full time seminary student. Life is busy and full but better than I could have imagined!
I am the busiest mom ever. #1 I am a wife and mom – that alone makes me very busy but I also work full time, I am VP of our school PTA, I chair 3 events at our school, I am co-team mom for my sons baseball team and somewhere in there I make sure my husband still feels important to me and that my kids know that I love them and am there for them in any way that they need. I am sure I am like a lot of other mom who handle all of this. This contest just goes to prove that there is many, many of us out there who keep doing it with a smile on our face and pride in our hearts.
My husband is deployed to Afghanistan for 12 months and I am home with a 1 year old and a 4 yr old. We still have 11 months to go before he gets back! Not having to cook would be a huge help!
I have two kids age 10 and 8 months. I stay at home and work for a VP of a stock brokrage firm. My hubby works nights and is gone from 11 am till midnight. So I do everything on my own. Cleaning, meals, taking care of the kids and pets, homework and my job. Somedays I dont even get a shower till everyone is in bed. And did I mention that my baby still nurses every 2 hours even at night. Im tired
I am the busiest mom because I get up early in the morning, get the kids ready for school, drop them off, go to the gym, come home and get ready for work… go to work for 6 hours and then pick up the kids, come home, make dinner, help with homework, play a game or watch TV with them, give snacks, showers… then off to bed they go… and me about 30 minutes later 🙂 It’s a crazy life, but very rewarding!!!
My washing machine broke down today, after trying to catch up on laundry from being away for a week. I have no time to write more because I’m too busy researching the best machine for the best value.
I feel like the work never ends around here, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! I am a homeschooling mom of six, ages 9 to 7 months, and a wife to military pilot and engineer. While he works 15 hour days,I try to keep things running smoothly at home. (“Try” is the oprative word, here!) Between the schooling, housework, yardwork, nuturing, and deal-finding (essential with our family), I am exhuasted at the end of each day. But it’s a good tired, and I love it!
I am a busy mom! I have 2 kids, 2 cats, 2 large dogs, a snake and a husband at home PLUS 125 highschool kids to teach science to. ENOUGH SAID! 😛
I am a busy mom to my 2 kids: 7 & 11, we are constantly running around to practices or school events. My husband & I work full time and never feel like we are catching up with everything to do. A meal a week that I don’t have to think about or cook sounds great to me!
I’m a mom of 4 beautiful babies 8 mo – 60 mo/5 yr, I love spending time with them and my husband, and they all keep me busy in a good way! I work from home part time to help out a little (dh’s job is badlyl hurt by the economy) and would love to have a little extra time here and there!
I am a super busy mom to 6 kids, 5 of which are BOYS! We have Soccer, Football, and Basketball practices and games. Plus 2 of the 6 are toddlers, 1 still in diapers, who just turned 1. We stay very busy around here!
The best job in the world is being a mom. I have 4 kids at home, 3 of which are mine and the other is my nephew. Ages are 16,15,14,10. They are all active in school sports, travel baseball and many otehr activities. My husband and I both work full time jobs. My husband works 6 12hr days. So most everything around the house is left to me. So any help with 1 meal a week would be a blessing to our family.
I am the busiest mom because I make lunches int he morning, clean the house, laundry etc. Then I head off to volunteer at the kids school, then pick up the kids, come home and help with homework, Help my husband with his business, hurry up and make a dinner…praying its sort of healthy. Then start my shopping, leave the house and try to go out grocery shopping for an hour or so. Make something to take to my mother in laws the next day…she has cancer…so this really needs to be healthy. Then come home and fold the laundry and clean he messes the kids made while I was gone. Then plan lesson plans for church…an get ready for VBS. Then check the blogs for deals. Go to bed about 2 am…ten wake up rinse ad repeat:)
I am a stay at home mom of 3 girls 13,11, and 5. Keeping up with their busy schedules, house hold chores, couponing (I give free classes at my local Bi-Lo), gardening/yard work and all the other unexpecteds that fall onto my plate keeps me hopping for sure. My husband works outside of the home full-time and runs a side business out of our garage with my help, trying diligently to get us out of debt. With all this I still manage to get a healthy dinner served every night. It sure would be nice to have a break even if it is only once a week! Thank you for this opportunity and for hosting this great give away!
Five kids, teaching at least 3 days a week, another parttime job,plenty of carpools to juggle, and I’m redoing my house by myself. So far I’ve tiled a bathroom, installed a shower, built a bed, repainted kitchen cabinets, tiled a backsplash, made and finished new countertops, painted five rooms, built a wall unit with drawers that actually work (and what a pain in the butt THAT was!), constructed shelving, installed baseboards and doors, and stained a concrete floor. While stopping to cook dinner every freakin’ day!
I have 3 boys under 4! I’m suprised I even have time to enter this contest!
I am a mother of 4 girls ages 2-8 and they are all involved in sports, dance and other school activities. I also watch a handicap boy during the week.
Im busy! And someone’s gonna win. Good luck to all!!
I am not the busiest mom, just a busy mom. I work and have a 3 year old little maniac boy. I could use some free meals for my family and to share with others that need it more than me!
I am posting on behalf of my sister. She has 4 children ages 6, 5, 4, and almost 2 with her 5th baby due in just a few weeks. Not only does she have her own children to take care of but she is constantly babysitting other kids throughout the week to make some extra money for the family. Her husband was laid off very unexpectedly over 3 months ago and although he is interviewing often, he still is without a job. I wish for my sister to win this contest to eliminate just an ounce of stress in her life. She is beyond deserving.
I was almost too busy to enter!!!
Thanks for a great contest!
I don’t know that I am the busiest mom, but it sure feels like it some days. With three kids under the age of 5 there is always something to do. I don’t think it would be too hard to get everything I need to done, except the youngest is 4 months old and will only take naps if I’m holding him. Makes it kinda interesting to try and get things done. 🙂 I’m hoping I win so that I can spend more time cuddling my littlest one, and my other kids and not have to worry about making dinner one night a week!!!
Busy is my middle name. I just had my second child and keeping up with two boys is WILD! I also teach voice lessons privately which is a lot of time in the evenings, making dinners very difficult. On top of that I am the worship leader at our church on a full-time, volunteer basis. My husband also does the youth as a volunteer too. We give lots of our time away and it also makes it hard to have good meals every night. This would be a HUGE blessing!!!
Every mom is busy, I am one of them. I am a stay at home mom to two children, ages 3 and 20 months. They have boundless energy and always keep me on my toes. My husband works all day, so i take care of the house, kids, meals, cleaning, shopping, etc. I also sell Lia Sophia jewelry and make woods crafts and sell them at boutiques. This definitely keeps me busy. I would absolutely love to win this giveaway and have a little help with dinner!!
I am for sure your busiest mom! 😉 I have a 3 year old, 19 month old, and 7 month old (who I’m nursing). I’m with them all the time. My husband works long hours so I’m pretty much in charge of everything. I cook all of our meals because I want my family to eat well. I read that these products are really good, preservative free, all of that, so I’d be excited to have a break once a week.
Oh, and besides being a SAHM to three kids 3 and under, I’m also in nursing school FULL TIME. !!! I get about 5 hours of sleep a night because I stay up late to study.
I am a very busy mom to a 9 yr old and 7 yr old. I work 40 hours a week out of the home and countless hours @ home, cleaning cooking dinner every night, laundry and many other duties.
I am the busiest mom because I have a busy 2 year old. 🙂
I have “virtual” twins – a typically developing 3 year old and a special needs 4 1/2 year old. We have been medically housebound since October (finally free!). My son is up at 5:30 and my daughter does not nap so it is CTP (constant toddler presence) from 5:30 to 7:30.
I am heavily involved in my daughter’s education and therapy, I basically homeschool in addition to teacher visits. My daughter can have as many as 5 appointments in 1 day. I have a Special Needs blog, able2able… Your Special Needs Resource Directory, I guest blog, and I write for a SN parenting magazine – all around the kids’ needs.
I plan to take a 2 week “vacation” this summer to stop writing so I can read. I am not lying – my stack of unread magazines is now 2 feet tall.
4 kids and a needy husband keep me VERY busy! Quick, easy and delicious meals are always welcome in my book!
I would like to nominate myself. I am a full time nursing student. I am a mom of a 2yr old and 7month old. Between cooking, cleaning, laundy, homework, doc appts, and activities I am one exhausted mommy.
I am a busy mom. Taking care of 3 girls, the home, our business and my husband!…oh, and also our 6 pets!
I am a busy mama! I have a 19 mos. old toddler with LOTS of energy and a 5 mos. old sweetheart who is quite needy! Taking care of these two would be enough, but I also work from home (squeezed in during naptime!), lead a Bible study in our home once a week, and take good care of the house and husband 🙂 I thrive to keep healthy foods on the table, but sometimes it is so time (and money)- consuming! These meals would be great for the nights when just getting the kids in bed is “enough”!
I am the busiest Mom b/c I have a 4 year old with Autism and a 3 year old that is typically developing and we have a billion therapies to juggle. Oh and I mention that I work a full time job that is extremely busy and work from home quite a bit too? I would love this giveaway!
I think we all have our own set of circumstances, obstacles, schedule and just life to deal with. I am a SAHM with a 5yr old and a 20mth old. I am not the busiest mom but I am always looking for a way to make like a little simpler, healthier and more frugal. I know these meals would certainly help my family and any mom would be deserving. I also think it is a great idea to be able to share the meals with others along the way!
I have 5 children ages 21, 18, 7,5, and 4. The oldest 2 both graduate this month – one from college and one from high school. We leave on Friday to travel to the college graduation (traveling from Michigan to Florida). Home for a few weeks and then the high school graduation and all the festivities that go with that. Throw in soccer for the the 7 and 5 year old, opening the pool, working part time and hosting our small group every week and you have one busy May.
There are thousands of moms as busy as me. We have 4 sons and mountains of laundry at our house. We have baseball games 6 days a week and dinner to fit in between – wouldn’t this be great once a week!!
I’m entering my friend in this contest. She has 6 kids ages 2 – 12. Her hubby is a coach, principal of a Christian school, and assistant pastor. They are getting ready to move from MO to NC to change ministries and she is trying to pack with 6 kids!!!! This would be a HUGE help to her!
I am a super busy mom to two boys. I am so busy my brain is fried and I can’t think of anything to write! Please pick me!
I am a stay at home mom to 2 adorable children. A 3 year daughter and 1 year old son. My husband is just finishing up his first year of Law School. Since we live off of his student loans I make it my job to take care of our finances and get essential items for as little as possible. I love my family so much and that is why I do couponing. I try to make homemade meals for my family as often as possible because my husband and I are very cautious of all the extra ingredients that premade food has. The idea of having a year supply of a delicious and not perservative filled food like Michael Angelo’s sounds like a heaven sent for our little family.
I don’t know if I am the busiest, but I am busy. I work full time as an 8th grade English teacher. I am the department chair and a mentor teacher, in addition to running an after school remediation program. I just started my master’s degree in Education as well. I have two boys – 5 and 2, My oldest son has been diagnosed PDD-NOS as well as SPD, so we spend a lot of time with treatments and trying to help him. My husband just started a new full time job. He used to stay home with the kids, but is now working full time while completing his bachelors degree. We have my oldest in sports starting this Wed. I try to devote as much time as possible to my children when home. It’s busy, but good. It’s hard to find time to prepare meals, so this would help so much.
I am the busiest mom because I have 2 little girls, I am a full-time student and on top of taking care of that I take care of my 4 little sisters and 1 little brother everyday!
.-= myranda b´s last blog ..Pull-ups Sample =-.
I’m not the busiest mom but I do keep quite busy. I have three active little ones – 5, 3, and 1. They alone would keep me plenty busy. But then I also participate in a community MOMS Club and help out in my church. I’m also involved in my local ICAN group. And there are still many, many things I would like to do. 🙂 I also have issues with overcommitting. 🙂
As a stay at home Mommy with an active 20 month old, I feel like I am the busiest! We’re nonstop! I’d love to have some dinners on hand ready to go! 🙂
Busy is my middle name! I just had our second son in February. Keeping up with two boys is CRAZY. I also teach private voice lessons in the evenings, so getting dinners on the table is very challenging. In addition, I am the worship pastor at our church on a full-time volunteer basis. My husband also runs the youth group in the same volunteer manner. We donate lots of our time, and having help with dinners would be a huge blessing!
Hi! Wow, yummy dinners for a year would be such a weight off my shoulders! Only have 2 children and a great hubby, but one of my children has been in and out of the hospital over the past few months. In fact, that’s where we are again. Just came home from a 23 day stay, and now back again. Would just love to win these dinners because not only are they delicious but would be so great for quick meals for my husband to prepare (when necessary) and for those rush times. Thanks for the contest!!
Would like to nominate my daughter, Amy, as the busiest Mom. In addition to looking after her two girls (4 1/2 years and 15 months), she stays busy tending to 5 dogs, 2 horses, a donkey, 2 cats and handling the office work for her self-employed husband. She is involved with her church programs and somehow finds time to do all of this even though she has been recently diagnosed with mono. These meals would be a wonderful way of slowing her down.
I am a very busy stay at home mom of two. My 4 year old daughter and my 21 month old son are always in need of something.
I am a busy mother of three – two daughters, ages 7 and 5, and a 3-year-old son. My husband and I have decided to become foster parents, so we have been involved in the licensing process, which is very time consuming. We love to give our children opportunities to participate in sports and other activities, as well as traveling and being involved in our own community. It’s a busy life, but it’s a great one!
Let me start by saying I think we are all busy moms of some degree. I am a SAHM to 4 children under the age of 8 (not too bad). Between carpooling to and from school, piano practice, church and soccer games, I stay busy. I am always looking for ways to save money and time with my food preparations. These meals would definitely come in handy on those nights I don’t have time to cook.
I would like to nominate our youth minister’s wife, Candace. Right now is a very busy time in her life. She just gave birth to their fourth child on April 6. At nineteen days old, the baby girl was rushed to the hospital with pneumonia. Thankfully, the baby is recovering well, but with a newly five year old homeschooled son, a three year old son, and an almost two year old daughter at home in addition to caring for a sick newborn girl, Candace has her hands more than full. She is such a blessing to our church. She is active in working with the youth and teaching the women of our church and is always willing to share tips and advice for making our homes run smoother. She is such a godly woman and example. She always seems to have everything pulled together and is willing to help others whenever a need arises. I would love the opportunity to help HER during her time of need. Thanks for the opportunity!
This would be so great! With a newborn in daycare, working full time, husband looking for a job while cutting lawns on the side, housework, grocery shopping, church activities, and keeping up with the family out of state, our lives are so busy! I would love this! Best of luck to all!
I could never be the bestist mom. That title is my moms lol. I think there are so many great moms out there, it would be too hard to pick. If you strive hard to raise some great kids, then I guess we’re all the bestist momS! Good luck everyone 🙂
I am a wife and mom to a wonderful man and two amazing children – 5&7. I homeschool both kids (Kindergarden and 1st grade). In addition to the housework and school work by day I draw house plans by night. Once I get the kids and hubby in bed I stay up until the wee hours of the morning drawing house plans. I teach 7th-9th graders every Sunday and volunteer each Wednesday in our Youth Group at church. Between baseball, softball, soccer, piano, and church it seems there is little time to relax – yet this is the best job ever!!! Kudos to all the moms who posted and are giving there all to their families!
I am a busy wife and mom, but in March, my only son passed away. I have not been cooking much lately and would love the opportunity to have this prize.
I am categorically the busiest MOM of all. My 2 children are grown, married and have kids. I thought that all the “raising them” years were busy until they left home. I still do the BIG traditional southern Sunday dinner after church every week and I fix enough for everyone to take home leftovers! I now have grandchildren to chase after and spoil. I will say I am still really busy on my knees everyday in prayers for each one of them!!!
I am a single mom of 2 teenagers. Yes I am busy with my kids, their school. I started homeschooling my son this year because he has learning disabilities. He was also born with a cleft so we have lots of Dr. appointments. In addition I am going to graduate school and I run my own business. I raise money for nonprofit organizations. I volunteer with with the local women’s business center and my church. The meals would help lessen the load of having to plan something to fix plus it would help me out financially.
I have a 2 1/2-year-old and an 11-month-old who definitely keep me on my toes. But I am not the busiest mom….my dear friend Leah, a homeschooling mother of 5 boys ages 7 and under with another boy due in July, is the busiest mom I know. She is also one of the most gracious, kind, helpful, serving women I’ve ever met! How she can keep her cool with all those boys, I have no idea! 🙂 If anyone deserves a break from cooking once a week so she can spend more quality time with her family, it’s my friend Leah.
I am a busy mom of a 1 yr old who doesn’t sleep! I also work part time and would love some easy dinner meals that I would whip in the oven when I come home from work. Thank you for the giveaway!
I would nominate my BFF Kim Dorsey. She is a mom of 2 boys, 3 years and 1 month. She had to have brain surgery the day after giving birth to her second son and now is busy recovering and taking care of these 2 and her husband. I think she deserves a year off from cooking because she never complains and just does whatever has to be done.
What mom isn’t busy. My 2 year old is about to take a nap and I get to go mow the lawn:)
Oh, man, am I busy! I have a 6-year-old and 3-year-old boys, whom I homeschool, plus a 11-month-old baby girl. My hubby is in his last year of school to receive his doctorate in physical therapy. We are going to be moving 4 times this next year for his clinicals. On top of that, we have soccer practice, church, and regular housework. I think all moms are busy though, whether working or stay-at-home. We all have our mommy duties so this would be SO nice to have!
We have three wonderful children that keep us very busy. A 16 year old boy that plays baseball and is getting a driver’s license. A 10 year old boy that plays baseball and football. And a beautiful 10 month old girl who just loves to get into everything. We are always on the move with sports and appointments and rarely get to sit down and enjoy dinner. We love Italian food and would be ecstatic to receive a years worth of Michael Angelo’s meals. Thank you for hosting this giveaway.
I certainly am busy. Not the busiest that’s for sure and honestly I try hard to simplify my life to be less busy. I definitely wouldn’t mind having one meal a week that I didn’t have to think about so that I could spend even more time with my family.
I am a student and mother of an active three year old. While I might not be the busiest mom I think any mom could use s break.
I have a 3 year old and a set of 1 year old twins. I love my kiddos but they sure keep me busy! It’s amazing how many diapers we go through in one day, and sometimes how many outfits!! We live in a little 2 bedroom apartment and cooking dinners can be a hassle with 3 kids trying to play in the little apartment. This would defidently help so one night a week it wouldn’t take long to prepare dinner, so i have more time to play with my cute kids!!
What a wonderful company for providing this giveaway! I am a very busy stepmom to a 12 year old. I also work full time. My stepson is a very busy person who is always wanting to do something. My husband runs his own company which also adds to the busy factor in the house. I am new to the “mom” role and although it is very busy, it is so rewarding!
I think there are so many great moms out there. If you are a Mom you never stop!
I am the busiest mom with a husband working out of state 5 days a week, 3 kids (homeschool the oldest 2), keep the house spic and span so it will sell and chase after a 2 yr old boy and the dog.
I consider myself to definitely be a busy mom. I work a 40+ hour job from home from my employer. Once that job ends, I am cooking dinner, cleaning, washing clothes, helping my 3 children with their homework, including a teenager who is preparing for the SATs. I make time for myself by taking a brisk 30 minute walk each day, trying to lose some unwanted pounds and it’s definitely a stress reliever. After that and getting the kids ready for bed and school the next day, then I am carving out another hour of my time to study for one of the several Microsoft Certifications I would like to earn to help advance my career.
I consider that to be very busy.
Ok, 3 kids ages 3,7, and 11. 2 dogs, and 1 husband. I work and go to school. Busy is an understatement 🙂
i have 5 year old twins that are extemely active. we do ballet and gymnastics. i work full time in a hospital. i help take care of an elderly parent. i assumed the role as the administrator of my mothers will after she unexpectedly passed away. i do most of the shopping and cleaning in my household. i am back in school to earn my bachelor’s of science in nursing. and all of this leaves barely enough time in the day to take my girls swimming and do crafts on a regular basis, which they love.
I too am amazed I have time to enter this contest. My husband and I just realized we only get five hours a sleep a nite, whew… and that is not a full nites rest either. Every women is a mother. before during and after her children have began their own lives. Life is so demanding on a woman and today is no exception; with all the details we are required to cover for. It’s nothing short of a miracle that we have the zealist vitality to handle the load of responsibilities that we are bestowed with.
What a neat contest. Here’s wishing everyone best luck, I am sure we all deserve a reward from this frenzied life. Thanks for who ever came up with this great contest :o)
I am about to travel to pick up our 2 year old daughter that we are adopting from Korea. I have 6 other children ranging in age from 3-11 already at home. I garden, help out at church, and try to keep up with the housework. I would love to have a supply of meals that are quick and easy as we welcome our new daughter home.
I am not the busiest mom, just a busy wife. I work and have to take care of my husband’s grandmom and cousin (they all live with us). I also taking class at night for my CPA. Sometimes, I don’t even have time to cook before I left for my night class. This will be a great meals for my family.
Today, I feel like the world’s busiest mom….my little ones are ages 2, 3 and 4. Every morning, they wake bright and early and are bursting FULL of energy. We live in Florida and the heat is rising higher every day but since they love to play outside, I make that happen. We rode our bikes over a mile to the park and played together for several hours. As soon as we got home, they were begging for lunch AND asking “what is for dinner tonight”. Yikes…I forgot to pull out something from the freezer for dinner so that was a good question. Our afternoons are full of home schooling lessons for pre-school as we are preparing for my eldest son to start grade K at home in the fall. Uh oh…..is that 10 loads of laundry that needs to be done? Yes, and my husband needs clean work clothes. He works the night shift so four days a week, I am alone caring for our children and the household by myself. I still need to tend to weeding the garden, feeding the laying hens and cleaning the house.The days seem never ending…..but I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. I feel very blessed with my life. Now….even more so if I had one night a week that I didn’t have to answer the dreaded “what’s for dinner question” and I could say…..Michael Angelo’s!!!
Thank you for this fantastic giveaway. Hmmm….what to pull out of the freezer for dinner tonight!

i am a busy mom of a almost 11 month old girl. she is a mama’s girl 🙂
i also work outside the home which is very busy and i dont get home till after 11 pm. i am also a wife and pet owner !
thanks
and its my birthday today!
BUSY? That’s my middle name! I am working full time during the week, part time on the weekends, teach spinning class, raise two teenage boys with one of them heading to college this fall, along with all of the usual household duties and in my spare time train for triathlons! Having some yummy, already made, free meals would be an absolute lifesaver!!!
I am a very busy mom of 2 teenagers and a wife to my husband of almost 25 years. I homeschool my kids and also work 24-30 hours per week at two different jobs. My kids are also into sports and church events and getting them to everything is a challenge. My other non-paid job is couponing which also takes much time each week. I’m not complaining, just explaining!!
I am entering a friend of mine this time. I went to do some couponing @ one of our favorite drugstores during lunch and one of the cashiers there has recently returned to work after being on FMLA w/ her spouse. He fell from a house back last year and is paralyzed from the waist down now. she was telling me about her DAY off yesterday. She has decided to keep her husband @ the house with little to no assitance. She has a grown daughter who lives over 1 hour away with her own family, and she has a ch 13 living @ home. They have incurred alot of travel expense and money is tighter than ever. I just though I was busy. Her name is Annette Green and She truly is a busy mom and Grandmom.
I am a very busy Mom of two boys, 11 months and 4 years. I work full time and commute 45 minutes one way! It would be so very helpful to have a break and not rush the moment I get home to have dinner on the table in a timely manner!
I am a working mother, I actually teach 190 seventh graders! I have two children Dawson 10, Adalyn 7. My husband works out of town so it’s like I am a single mother. I am also going to school full time earning my Master’s Degree so that I can become a school counselor and help others!
Busy busy Mom here! I have a 13 month old son, who STILL doesn’t sleep through the night!!!… and, a husband! haha. Also, I take care of my grandparents who live downstairs. Doing all this while trying to start my own business doesn’t leave too much time for cooking. What a great prize this would be!! 🙂
I am a busy mom, taking care of my 2 year old and 5 of her friends. I have an in home childcare. I teach 2 & 3 year olds of low income families who can’t possibly afford to work and have child care. I cook, clean, do crafts and teach lessons throughout the day. We go to a nearby park and learn music. I also volunteer in our church and help my husband with all of his endeavors. Thanks for the chance to win a meal to feed the kidddos! This would help out costs!!!!
I am the busiest mom, as i have a daughter who keeps me busy the whole day. She is my only one… but she takes away all of my time. Her dance class, soccer, swimming.. dropping hubby to work & also getting him back.. cooking, cleaning, shopping, washing… etc etc… My day starts at 6am & ends at around 6pm with her dance activity. I get so tired by 6pm that I get too lazy to cook. Maybe, if I win… I will have all the time in the world to relax & enjoy… well.. atleast for a year 🙂
I am a single mom and since my son has become a teenage I am even busier with just one. He’s is active in sports, volunteering, church and other activities which means, practices, deadlines, letters of reccomendations, applications and on and on.
I have 5 children and 3 soon to be step daughters im go go go non stop get up get ready off to school clean house plan dinner coupon go shopping on some days my friends are mr. clean, mr washer and mrs dryer, a full sink and a bottle of dawn having these dinners would make my life easier
I deserv to win because I am chasing a 3 year old and a 29 year old around the house cleaning and cooking for them. The only me time I get is at 11:00 PM and by then I choose to go to bed beacuse my mind tells me to sleep so I have the energy to do it all again.
I am the busiest mom because I am a stay at home mom and I take care of my 3 and 5 year old, drive my 15 year old step-daughter to and from school and sporting events, make dinner every night, and keep my house nice and tidy!
I am the busiest mom, I work from 9am to 9pm, 7 days a week in a Chinese restaurant. I usually got home about 10pm and have my dinner by 11pm. This givesaway would be great for me.
Like many other moms I work a full time job plus have an hour commute each way and go home to 2 wonderful kiddos. I try to make home made meals but sometimes you just have to have something that does not take much effort to feed your family. I love their shrimp scampi and my kids love the lasagne,
I am nominating my friend Rachel, She is mother of a 3 year old and a 2 year old. She works full time as a teacher and tries to give her time to kiddos as well as her students. She easilly puts in 60 hours a week and then due to financial circumstances they only have one car so the time for quailty meals is limited. This would help them a lot!
busiest mom… I am a SAHM, there are no coffee breaks for me. With my husband working, my job is the home, so household work is not split, it’s all mine… and I happily do it. It is a 24 hr a day job, there are no breaks. So I’d love to have a break from planning a meal and big clean-up.
I agree all of us moms are WAY busy….. my 4 kids keep me busy – 7yr old, 5 yr old, 3 yr old and 8 month old – i’m just entering into the taxi-cab days of dropping off and picking up at school, and extracurricular activities and who needs to be where …EVERYDAY! one of the many challenges in life right now is just getting a healthy meal on the table before bedtime 🙂 Every mom has most of the same issues and we do what we can to get through each day! 🙂
I am a busy mom with 2 little ones running around. I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old. I am also a minister’s wife, so constantly helping out at church is a major part of my life!!! I would love to win!!!
I am a busy mom, but I dont think there’s a mom out there thats not…Taking care of a child, a husband an trying to keep the house clean and somewhat organized is a heavy task. It makes me realize how greatful I should be towards my mom. Good luck everone!!!
It doesn’t matter how much “free” time I have; the demands just seem to rise to a new level! And it isn’t the big stuff either but the little “band-aid, lost blanket, torn shirt, dead goldfish, runny nose moments” that I cannot plan for and that have to take priority over everything else that keep me hopping. I actually am pretty organized and an expert list-maker, but some days I have to wonder why bother to plan. I think all moms have days like that, so any one of us deserve to win this drawing! But today I hope it’s me.
MY HANDS WERE BUSY
My hands were busy through the day.
I didn’t have much time to play.
The little games you asked to do,
I didn’t have much time for you.
I’d wash your clothes. I’d sew and cook.
You’d ask and I’d read from your book.
I’d tuck you in all safe at night,
And hear your prayers; turn out the light.
Then tiptoe softly by your door,
I wish I’d stayed a minute more.
For life was short, the years rushed past,
A little boy grows up so fast.
No longer is he at my side,
His precious secrets to confide.
The picture books are put away.
There are no longer games to play.
No Teddy Bears or misplaced toys
No sleepovers with lots of boys.
No goodnight kiss, no prayers to hear.
That all belongs to yesteryear.
My hands, once busy, now are still.
The days are long and hard to fill.
I wish I could go back and do
The little things you asked me to do.

I am a new mom of baby boy twins…. they keep me on my toes! I love my life but it is busy!
I, like most moms, am extremely busy. Between chasing a 2 kids around, taking them to and from dance, etc., cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, etc., I have no time for anything else. Having a prize like this to help with dinner would be amazing!
I am a very busy mom of a 2 1/2 year old and a 1 year old, both are extremely active children, and am also getting ready to move for the second time in 4 months, so I keep quite busy!
I have 2 preschoolers and 2 part-time jobs, plus the full time mommy job!
My wife birthday is today, she takes care of our daughter, me and her parents that live across the street. All this while she works, she would love this!
I am a working mother of two Rachel 6 years old and Alexander 8 years old…My husband and I both work full time and have the kids involved in cheerleading once a week and my son in baseball (2 games a week) also speech therapy once a week….so needless to say we are constantly on the go…….dinner is always hard to squeeze in not a lot of time to prepare meals..this would be very helpful.
Thank you
I would have to nominate my sister for this. I am a mom but not nearly as busy as she is. She has three kids (13, 10 & 6) which she homeschools and her husband is currently deployed in Afghanistan so she is doing it ALL!! I can’t imagine being in her position but she does it, does it well and will gladly do it so her husband and serve and protect our country. The families at home are heroes too in my book!
I am the busiest mom ever because I have 4 kids. One at home, two in college and one married and going to college. My husband works shifts and many times 60-80 hrs a week. I volunteer many hours at school, church and library. I would love to win this give away!!!
With 2 Kids, a hubby, an online business, antique booth, caring for an elderly relative and everyday life this prize would be a true blessing to me and my family.
i am the busiest mom because my husband is currently deployed so im a “single” mom at the moment. Doing everything I can do for my 18 month old and our almost 3 yr old dog. I walk the dog 2x around the block daily and on top of all our other daily things i workout at night. I have no friends or family here so its just me and the boys! 🙂
I truly think all moms are busy moms. My three kids keep me going. With my husband serving as a volunteer firefighter, going to a massage school an hour away, and finishing his bachelor’s degree online, on top of working nearly full time- I get all full time duties at home and any extra-curricular activities. I could go on and on about all I do at home and with my children, but any mother has been there! Good luck to all!
I am the WORLDS busiest mom becuse I have 6 children, like today, I got up, did my couponing for an hour, got kids off to school took teen son to orthodontist, delivered him to school. Came hom and started dinner, did floors downstairs, cleaned bathroom downstairs, cleaned up pantry a ittle, baking a cake, hated on dog a little for making a mess, called and talked to 2 schools, cleaned under cabinets, 2 loads oflaundry done and on the line, made husbands lunch for tomorrow, had to run to Target for rice Ooops ) spot cleaned carpet ( dog again ) and it’s just 12:27 noon, next I have to pick up teen daughter from school, then the 2 little ones from school, Come home and do homework, give snacks, brek up fights, wait for hubby to calm things down, serve dinner at 4:00 clean up and then I can start cleaning te house…this will go on until about 12:30 am, I’ll sleep and do it all again tomorrow. I know I left some things out,but that’s it i a nutshell.
Thank you for listening, this was therapy 🙂
I think every good mom qualifies as the busiest mom (myself included). The second you take on a role as a mother, you then agree to become an on-call, 24 hours/7days a week, chef, maid, nanny, nurturer, barber, nurse, teacher, professional multitasker, lifeguard, singer (we really try to do some justice to The Wheels On the Bus….), seamstress, role model, an INVENTOR (don’t tell me you haven’t tried to turn a cardboard box into something cool for your kids!), disciplinarian, comedian, a professional book reader (sometimes the same book, over and over and over….We do it because we love you), financial analyst, nutritionist, organizer, funny voice impressionist, artist, repairman(woman), a magician (goodness knows I had to turn into one to get that car seat in the first time!…), and last but not least…a Ghostbuster…you know – to chase the monsters away! =) The list really goes on…I haven’t even added WIFE (which is a whole other job in itself, and for the working moms – you are really above and beyond!) and the women that are active in their church…and lets not forget all the LOVE that goes into everything!….but I’m sure you can start to see how any mom is a busy one…
Anyhow, if I am lucky enough to win, I would like to give the meals to a family that I know is actually struggling. Because when it all comes down to it, things are definitely hard sometimes, are not perfect by any means, but I do realize that things could be a lot worse for my family and me…so I am thankful for the wonderful family we do have! Time to pass on the blessings!
New baby , a 3-year-old, picky husband and an old crochety beagle. No time to cook. Need I say more 🙂
Mom of a 4 y-o and 2 y-o triplets…need I say more???
I’m too busy to write down why I’m too busy!
Basically single mom. Three children and my husband works out of town. I work full time and do all the taking and picking up from school. Always trying to figure out what’s for dinner!! We love Michelangelos lasagnas they are great
I am the busiest mommy of twins 🙂 My girls are three and a half and everything is always “double” the struggle “double” the trouble and definitely “double” the blessing, I love my girls so much. As a first time mommy, I have had to figure out how to make 2 toddlers happy at the same time, and that doesn’t always work out but you just keep on truckin! At the end of the day I am so thankful for the gifts I have been given!
I am not a mom. However, I have a lot of busy moms among my acquaintance . I am entering for them. I will distribute the coupons among them.
I would also like to nominate my best friend Chayni for this..she is amazing she is a single mom of three kids I am constantly in awe of her and can’t imagine how she does it all …her children are 17, 11 and 6 she works full time and is always struggling to make ends meet…but somehow she always makes it….this would be incredible for her…you want to talk about busy she is soooooooooo busy doing it all by herself.
I am a busy mom of a 3 1/2 year old girl and 15 month little boy. I stay at home with them and work part-time from home doing administrative work for our church. My husband is a full-time teacher and doctoral student, which means he isn’t around a whole lot right now. It’s a busy time, but I wouldn’t trade staying at home with my kids for anything.
I am a busy mom of a 5 year old and a 2 year old. I work full time and take care of most of the household chores too. Between working 40+ hours, doing laundry, figuring out dinner, helping with homework, going to dance classes, bath time, story time, and bedtime, I barely even remember going to bed at night!
I’m a busy mom like everyone else, but I think everyone needs one night where you can just sit back and not have to think about dinner and all that involves. Instead lets take a few minutes to think about ourselves something none of us ever do because there is always something more important on the burner that needs are attention.
Today I left some dishes dirty,
The bed got made around 3:30.
The diapers soaked a little longer,
The odor grew a little stronger.
The crumbs I spilled the day before
Are staring at me from the floor.
The fingerprints there on the wall
Will likely be there still next fall.
The dirty streaks on those windowpanes
Will still be there next time it rains.
Shame on you, you sit and say,
Just what did you do today?
I held a baby till she slept,
I held a toddler while he wept.
I played a game of hide and seek,
I squeezed a toy so it would squeak.
I pulled a wagon, sang a song,
Taught a child right from wrong.
What did I do this whole day through?
Not much that shows, I guess that’s true.
Unless you think that what I’ve done,
Might be important to someone
With deep green eyes and soft brown hair,
If that is true… I’ve done my share.
I am by no means the busiest mom in America (that would be my sister in law, Raegan, (raegan722@yahoo.com) who has a 2 yr. old, 1 yr. old and 4 month old!) but I am busy! I have a 16 yr. old who is constantly needing to be taken somewhere, something brought to her, a 10 yr. old who does swim 3 times a week, and an 8 yr. old who is in ballet. I help my hubby run our A/C and heating business. I facilitate a group of parents who have lost babies and I homeschool our 2 youngest. I am also field trip coordinator for our homeschool group, which includes 120 families and when you coordinate then you also serve on the board. But you know what? I love it all!! If I win, I would share the wealth. We have many needy neighbors. I forgot my 2 “adopted” children! Our neighbors kids spend a lot of time here. I should win just so I can feed the 14 yr. old boy!!
I think my sister is one of the busiest around. Virtually a single mom, between work and the house she still finds time to volunteer with her kids – school , girl scouts, etc. She deserves this!
I am a busy mom of 3 boys 21yrs, 8yrs., and 5 months old. I am also working fulltime as a paramedic and homeschooling my 8 yr old as well as being a Homemade Gourmet consultant. So busy is an understatement. It would be so nice to have a meal a week I don’t have to worry about.
Mom to a 13 year old hearing impaired daughter who is a smart as a whip. twin 10 year old autistic boys (just had to get surgury to get foreign object from ear today). but life is good when it’s busy. I love my family!
I am the busiest mom because I just recently started selling handmade items. On top of that, I am the mom of 2 little girls ages 5 and 21 months. I am also a Navy wife which leads to unpredictable schedules and long periods of being a “single mom.” I am so busy that I was disappointed at the dentist this morning because they were so punctual with my appt that I wasn’t able to read much of the magazine that I had brought!
Thanks for the giveaway!!
I feel like the busiest mom ever! Part time job, 3 kids , health problems, and getting our home ready to move soon. Help! Free meals for a year would be amazing!
I would love free meals for a year! I am very busy with a full time job and a hungry husband 🙂
You might say, “Mom of one!? She’s not busy, she’s just getting started!” However, I am extremely busy with my little one. Not only do I care for my daughter, my husband AND my niece and nephews throughout the week; I work 40 hours per week to supplement our income and am a full-time college student attending UWF. My major is Elementary Education so that when I graduate, I may go to school with my kids everyday. Summers off are nice too 🙂 Dinner is usually the last thing on my mind and having a year’s worth of planned dinners is…well, FABULOUS! I am a praying woman too so I believe if the winner is not me, it will be to someone who really deserves it!
I would love to try Michael Angelo’s dinners. As a teacher, wife,and busy Mom it would be comforting to know that these healthy dinners would be available for my family when our schedules get hectic, and there is little time to cook.
I’m a busy busy mom…like everyone, but right now to not have to think about dinner for a night of the week would be amazing for me! I’m super sick with morning/all day sickness and the thought of preparing food for dinner makes me dry heave. This leaves a super empty table at dinner and a tired husband coming home from work with a lot more to do, like cook dinner for our two young boys and himself!! Busy, tired moms and dads need a little help and this would TOTALLY HELP!!!
I am the busiest mom ever. I have 4 kids – 3 scouts (Boy, Cub and Daisy’s) all 4 are in a sport – lacrosse, football, t-ball, and dance. I am the assistant Daisy Leader and recently nominated to be the VP of the PTA. I love helping my friends in need. If they are sick – I am the one who will bring them soup. I am participating in the Breast Cancer walk for my Army buddy and a neighborhood friend. I also love to volunteer at school on the hospitality committee. My husband calls me the entertainment director. 🙂 Having this quick meals would allow me to spend more time with my family. Thank you for your consideration.
I have 4 kids 7, 5, 3, and a 10 month old. Saying my life is busy would be an understatement! I think being a mom is the hardest and most rewarding job in the world. That’s why no one can afford to pay us! 😉
I am a mom of 3. My youngest is 21 months old. I homeschool, try and take car of the house, dog, and all the other chores that goes with. I am far from family support and dinners have been hard to get on the table. This would be a huge blessing!
My mama is the busiest mom I know. So busy, in fact, that she didn’t even have time to enter this contest! She’s not only the busiest mom, but the BEST mom (of FOUR kids), as well! She works full-time (over-time, most of the time), helps take care of the house, homeschools my two youngest siblings, and still manages to find time for family functions. She’s the best, it would be such a blessing to us to have one meal a week taken care of!! Thanks for considering our family and my wonderful momma! 🙂
I am a very busy mom as all moms are. I have a 9 year old and 6 year old daughter. I work full time at a college, run my own business and have one year left of college to get my bachelors. There is never enough time in the day and especially not at dinner time. This would be a wonderfull way to ensure my family eats healthy on my class nights Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Hi! I have recently decided to give up my career as a high school science teacher so that I may stay home with my precious 8 month old. My husband is also a teacher and it will be very difficult financially for us on his salary alone. However, I know that with faith and amazing websites like this one, we will make it. How wonderful would it be to have one free meal per week? Amazing! Thanks for the opportunity to win this amazing prize!
With part-time work, home schooling by girls, shuttling them to gymnastics, swim lessons, play groups, the library, and other sports or outings, it doesn’t leave me much time to think about what’s for dinner. On top of that, I never really learned how to cook when I was younger, so I struggle now to make a weekly menu for my girls and their very picky father. However, I do not want my kids to grow up on takeout fatty meals, nor can we afford that luxury often, so prepackaged frozen meals are a great option. Michael Angelo meals are one thing that we can all agree on for dinner and everybody loves. Winning this and not having to worry about at least one meal per week would be a blessing.
I am very busy with my 8 month old and my four year old. My husband who is a firefighter works 3-4 24 hour shifts every week (two days in a row he works so if he leaves for work on Sunday morning we will not see him again until Tuesday morning.) which leaves me completely alone with the kids and trying to prepare meals for everyone and trying to get it to him at the fire station is such a hassle. I try to go so he can see the boys as much as possible but it really is hard sometimes! Having a prepared meal once a week would not only be easy on me but it means more family time! My husband lives at the station just as much as home and it would be nice to know that no matter what at least once a week there is a prepared meal ready to take to the station!!
I am a busy mom of 2 awesome boys- 18mo & 4mo’s. :0) My full-time job IS my boys and I love every minute of it. Would love a chance to win free meals!!
I am a stay at home of three very active boys, ages 5, 3 , and 1 – need I say more??
Oh how I would love one prepared free meal a week. I’m not only a mom to a teen but life with and care for my aunt who has Alzheimer’s and my cousin who has downs. So much work, but important work.
I am a mom of 4 children (ages 9 yrs, 7 yrs, 3 yrs, and 9 months) and also work full-time as a speech-language pathologist in 3 different schools! My life is so busy that these meals would be great during the week when it’s hard to find time to prepare a healthy meal.
I am the busy Mom of three boys ages 8, 5, and 2. I volunteer at my local food shelf and the childrens program at my church. All moms are so wonderful we ALL deserve a break from dinner! I would love to win this so thanks for the opportunity!
I have three children- 16, 14, 11. I work from home as a medical transcriptionist. All three of my kids are involved in a sport as well as extracurricular activities at school and church. I lead two mother/daughter Bible study groups for each of my daughters at my home each week. Being able to have one meal planned a week would be nice on those nights when I have study or we have church.Thanks for the opportunity!
I’m the busiest mom, because right now i don’t have the energy or time to even write a paragraph about how busy i am. Thanks!
I am a pretty busy momma to a 13 month old boy. I work one day a week as a nurse, and it would be great to win this prize, I wouldn’t have to worry about what’s for dinner on my “work for a paycheck, instead of for free” day!
I am busy mom to a 2yo boy, I recently stopped working part-time to work on my own business and we recently moved out of state and are living in a hotel room, 2 adults, one 2 year old and a dog – it’s crazy trying to juggle everything but having a prepared meal once a week would be fabulous!
Great giveaway!
I am a busy mom to a 16 month old boy that my husband and I adopted in December 2008. We were both 40 at the time, so I guess we got a really late start at this parenthood thing. We LOVE it, but man, it’s more work then I ever could have imagined. On top of caring for Hayden, I am a full time employee and our only source of income. This adds a lot of pressure, but I carried the insurance for the family, so my husband is the full time stay at home dad. While that may sound great to most of you, the guilt of not being the one at home is awful, if not founded, so I try to make up for it with activities galore when I am home. BUSY, BUSY, BUSY! This free meal a week, would save me 1 night a week from cooking and more time to actually be with both of “my boys”!!
Wow! Busy is most definitely and understatement. This is my daily/weekly grind…that I am so BLESSED to be a part of:
Good morning family to which at least 1 of my kids have crawled into bed with us…Breakfast!!!!!!…Teeth, Hair, Bed, Clothes, Backpack, Kiss Hubby – GO!!!!… School (on time)…Doctor’s Appoointments/Poopy Diapers / Snack / Lunch / Play / Go peepee on the potty (Yeah!)…..Bills….Coupons (LOL)… Nap… Clean, Clean, Clean… Back to school…Ballet, Homework, Jazz, Soccer, Church, Dinner?!?, Hubbytime ?!?!, Wash/Dry/Fold…Teeth… PJs… Storytime….ZZZZzzzz
Did I mention God is goooooood! To go through the chaos is my everyday life and go to sleep knowing that there is something greater than today is comforting. My family is my life. God is my life. And staying busy is my life! 🙂
I am a busy mom because I have a 2 year old 4 year old! I am a SAHM with a husband that works 15 hour shifts daily. So on top of making sure my daughters are well taken care of (fed,bathed,etc) i have to take car of all the household duties too (including fixing little things around the house that the husband normally would do!
I’m a very busy wife…not a mom yet…Would love to win Michael Angelo’s Gourmet Food for a year….Would make my life soo much easier!!!
My mom is the busiest mom ever!! On top of taking care of all my brothers an sisters (pluss me!) which are 6 in total, she also volunteers in each of there schools!
I am a busy mom, running an online store from home with the help of a active 15 month old girl, who loves to “help” mommy pack orders!
Full-time mother of 3 – ages 8, 4, 2
Pastor’s wife.
’nuff said!
I am a single full-time working mom to a very busy 7 year old. This would make weeknight dinners so much easier!!! I would love to win these coupons.
I’m sure there are busier moms than me out there…I’m just the busiest I’ve ever been! I have a 35 month old boy, and 11 month old girl. I’m planning to celebrate my girl’s first birthday on saturday 🙂 We are also getting ready for one of my sister’s wedding in a couple of weeks, in Canada. So between planning our trip to Canada, planning my baby’s 1st birthday party, and just the every day happenings of our kids, and husband, I feel like I haven’t had much time to plan my dinner calendar for the month. I’m also trying to lose some of my ‘baby’ weight and save our family as much money as possible by being frugal in all my purchases. Sometimes I feel like ‘couponing’ is my ‘part time job’! It takes a lot of planning and organization. On top of all that, both my husband and I serve in our church on a weekly basis. I work with children ages 18 months to 2 years, and my husband works with teenage kids. At least once a week he’s gone to serve in this capacity, which leaves me with the kids. I think it would be easier if we had family close by that could help once in a while, but since we don’t, we make the best of it. I hope I win, and thanks for the opportunity.

I am a mom to 2 boys who are active in many sports, work full-time and try to fit in all thier “running” after work. this would help me so much!
have 2 kids, I run our construction business, church, homeschool, gymnastics, choir practice, cleaning, cooking…. im tired!!!
I know every mom is very busy with all that we do. What is great about it is you are busy taking care of wonderful little people that will grow up to be responsible parents themselves. Isn’t being a mom great! Winning would be great but being a busy mom is the best!
I believe I am the busiest mom I know. I run a household of seven (including myself) with my kids being 4, 6, 7, 8 and 19. I also have a puppy which is like having a newborn. I work 40 hours a week and my husband is a firefighter, which means I’m on my own taking care of everyone every third day. You figure in laundry alone, I wash at least 98 socks, 49 towels, 49 washcloths, 49 pairs of pants, 49 shirts, on top of pajamas and undergarments every week. I cook almost every night for our crew after getting home at 6pm. By time I’m through cleaning the kitchen and getting everyone to bed, I’m totally pooped, but I know they all rely on me. It makes it worth it!
I’m a busy mom because I have two kids under the age of 3. They both keep me running but then you add in my husband being in the military and constantly being deployed then I become a single busy mom! I admire all military moms because they know exactly what I’m talking about. I also have picky eaters…meaning I have to fix 3 meals a night. One for my daughter, one for my son, and one for my husband and me. I know that’s my fault but I love for everyone to be happy!
Not a mom yet but a busy working wife. It would be great to win a year’s worth of dinners and be able to have more time for other things and spend more time with my husband. Thanks
I am a busy SAHM with three children. My two youngest attend two different elementary schools – one is traditional and one is year round. My middle schooler attends school in the next city which is 20 miles away – I get up at 515 each morning to get her on her way. The day is very long with the last kid getting home at 4pm, starving, then we start homework. A meal a week would be a blessing for us or for any of these busy moms who’ve commented! Thanks!
I would love to win these meals! Our 2 sons are homeschooled, I am babysitting 2 little girls ages 2 1/2 yrs and 11 months for 10+ hours a day 5 days a week, my husband and I clean condos in the evenings and/or weekends and are on the worship team at church, and my husband is gone every other week for business. I could use and really appreciate some help preparing a meal now and then and these meals would be wonderful!
I would have to say that my mother is the busiest mother I know. She is a supervisor for their hospital’s surgical recovery floor. If that doesn’t make here busy enough she also has 7 children! Two of us are out of the house and married, giving her 4 grandchildren to love on. But 5 are still at home. Three of my sisters are adopted from China, and hearing impaired(all have cochlear implants now). So my mom’s weeks are filled with: speech therapy, band concerts, theater practice(and sewing costumes for plays), youth group, church activities, swim meets, football games(and practice), scouts, playing piano for the choir, and all the other numerous activities my siblings are involved in. In her “free” time, she is finishing her masters in nursing! She also has 1 husband, 2 dogs, 2 ferrets, and 1 cat. I don’t know how she does it! But I’m pretty sure she would love a helping hand for dinners 😉
I think all moms are busy no matter what! I’m busy with a full-time job, a husband and a 3 year old plus everything else. It’s fun, though!
I’m the mother of three children ages 10, 12, and 13. I’m currently running back and forth to a university hospital with my oldest who is recovering from a bone marrow transplant to treat his leukemia. With no family nearby and my husband’s job on shaky ground there is no room in the budget for fast food. So, in addition to caregiver and chauffer I’m also the “chef.”
How awesome would it be to simplify life with a premade meal each week! I am also very active in the church and these would be useful to take meals to new moms or sick families. Thank you for this opportunity.
I am definitely a busy mom!! I have 2 boys, ages 2 and 6. Yesterday was a good example of a busy day in my life. Working with a committee to hire a new director for our preschool. Grocery shopping (don’t think I actually bought anything for my household). Prepared snack mix for preschool teachers. Prepared a meal for a family at church that just had a baby. Called friends to schedule more meals for that family. As I was running across the house my 6 year-old said, “I think you’ve got a lot to do!”. Delivered the above. Spent too much time looking for a coupon online to get a discount on photo prints for teacher gifts. Fed family. Kids to bed. Helped girlfriends wrap plants and work on photo flower pots for teacher appreciation. Whew, I’m tired just thinking about it! Would love to have your weekly meal to give me a break or share with the families we help feed!
I am not the busiest mom, but with a busy 4 year old son and husband, working full time, taking care of our home and all that entails… Any help with dinners would be greatly appreciated.
I am not the busiest mom, but I have two jobs and I take care of my fiance who had back surgery. My daughter also had a kidney transplant, so I am busy taking care of them.
My mom is busy with 3 kids, 2 cats, 1 dog, 1 husband (who is basically a kid), a pond, & 60 acres. She pretty much takes care of all of it, except for the two older kids. I honestly don’t know how she does it. I have a fraction of the work she does at home and I find it difficult to get everything done.
As I told Jenny yesterday, I am NOT the busiest mom in the world. However, I am mom to 3 girls ages 9,6, and 2. I homeschool the oldest two and juggle the 2 year old throughout the day. She just recently taught herself how to get out of her crib. So she keeps me way busy…yesterday she climbed out and then moved her hamper, climbed up her hamper to get her toothbrush. Apparently, she couldn’t find the toothpaste so she used diaper cream insead. Nice! 😉
3 & 4 yr old boys!
I’m busy because I like to be! I have a two year old and a newborn, a husband with a killer work schedule, and tons of church, social, and family commitments. But I love to be busy and wouldn’t have life any other way!
I am the busiest mom because I have 3 children to care for. Two boys and one girl. They keep me on my toes ALWAYS!!
I am probably not the busiest mom, but I am always on the run. I have a 4 year old active boy and babysit a 3 year old. My husband is allways working so that i can stay home with our son but that doesnt mean homeschooling, yardwork, being frugal, and helping him run a business isnt time consuming. Im up at 6 am and crawling to be around midnight. It would really be nice to not have to cook once a week, since I try to make 80 percent or more of our meals from scratch. God has truly blessed us and I am forever thankful.
As a Mom I beleive we are all super busy, working/not working, sports, scouts, young kids or older. We are just a different busy then each other and everyday changes. One meal a week would be awsome, thank you for doing this contest! Happy Mother’s Day to you all!!!
Full-time job with a husband and 2 teenagers. Would love a break from cooking!
I know we are all busy, but I am definitely busy keeping up with my 3 and 2 year old boys and my 7 month old little girl. I stay at home with them which is such a blessing, but as most moms know can have it’s trying days too. Along with maintaining the household, i am also very involved in my church and community. A break from cooking one night a week would be such a blesssing!
EVERY mom is the busiest mom in the world! I have a 4 year old, a 2 year old and am 4 weeks away from cranking out kid #3. We are swamped with rearranging our worlds to make room for baby and just finished a total remodel of 2 bathrooms and our kitchen, just in time! After living with no kitchen, we all are still enjoying the luxury of a hot meal!
My cousin is the busiest mom. She has four kids, ages 8, 4, 3, & 5 months. And the 5 month old has Treacher Collin’s Syndrome. Even if she only had the little one, she’d be the busiest mom!
I am a busy mom, I work full-time, raise my 6 year old son, volunteer at the school and church. Dinnertime is usually a challenge, we get home by 5:30 and I have to get homework going, dinner ready and try to find some quality family time before 8pm bedtime. This would be a really great prize!
I had 3 boys in 3 and a half years! I joke with my hubby I’ve been pregnant or nursing constantly since 2006! My boys are now 4, 2 and 8 months (this one is still nursing!). I stay at home with them, teach piano lessons, and have recently embarked on homeschooling! I am an avid couponer and take time each week to save our family money while grocery shopping. Oh and did I mention I’m a pastor’s wife?!?! So that means I play piano in the worship band, sing on a worship team, am the nursery coordinator and “administrative assistant” to the pastor (ha! This is of course only paid with love and appreciation!). We eat dinner together as a family every night- even the busy church ones! Free quick and easy meals for a year would be a tremendous blessing. Plus we love Italian food!
Whew…Very busy here…..most people think I have triplets, but my little boy is 16 months younger than his big twin sisters! The girls are 4 1/2 and the little guy just turned 3. With a Daddy who is out of town a lot, and the children not in school yet, we are hopping at our house! I am trying to do a little homeschooling as well a tutor for other families! We love our busy household and feel SO blessed!
I am the busiest mom because I am a full time chiropractor working 50-60 hours per week and mother of 3 very active children. Between 2 baseball teams, 1 basketball team, dance and a soccer team. Along with being President of our local business association and VP of our local christian women’s club, there is not much time to cook! Michael Angelo, please help me feed my family!
What makes me the busiest mom? Well 3 little girls under the age of 4!! As a mom you try to provide (by working part time and a stay at home mom part time) the best food, exercise, and training above all else. What that leaves at the end of the day is me…tired, happy, satisfied, frazzled, and loved! But somedays you can’t get everything done and what slips is meal time. To be able to grab something easy,save that prep time, and get something that is well balanced and healthy would be awesome! Thanks for giving us the opportunity to do that!
I am the busiest mom…there are days that I don’t even have time to look at my face while washing my hands after I go potty. On these days, I finally take a look at my face when taking my dry contacts out of my eyes after being on my feet for 16+ hours and find that there is some random dark thing(not the circles under my eyes) on my face. It’s great that it was my breakfast and I just ran around to work, the store, pickup up the kids, and had this on my face all day!
HEY I THINK IT’S GREAT WHAT YOU ARE DOING.THANK YOU AHEAD OF TIME FOR WHOEVER WINS!! I’M JUST A GRANDMOTHER RAISING ONE OF MY 3 GRANDCHILDREN.I HAVE FIBROMYALGIA AND I ALSO RAISE MINIATURE DACHSHUNDS(WHICH BTW I GIVE AWAY MORE THAN I SELL LOL).I WORK FROM THE TIME I GET UP UNTIL THE TIME I GO TO BED WHICH IS USUALLY THE NEXT MORNING LOL!!
I am the busy Mom of seven children, 6 of whom still live at home. I just graduated from nursing school at 48 and am working 3 12’s a week at a busy ICU in the medical center in town. I have started couponing to try to help with a tight budget with 3 in college, 2 in high school and 1 middle schooler. I stayed home with my kids for 25 years and then had the opportunity to go back to school to fulfill my dream of being a nurse. I still do all the cooking and most of the cleaning, with help from the husband and kids, but our life is very full with sports, homework and now we are planning our oldest son’s wedding. It’s a busy life but also very fulfilling.
I am the busiest Mom because my husband works out of town for half the month so I pretty much am on my own with a 6 yo and 2 yo. I also watch my friends 3 yo full time. Needless to say, things are always crazy around here!
My mom I the busiest mom!! She has to take care of me and my 5 other brothers and sisters!! 1 toddler, 1 just started elementary, 1 is just starting middle school, 1 is figuring out what to do for a living and 2 teenagers!! This would help my mom out greatly!!
I am a very busy stay at home mom. I’m a cook, maid, taxi driver, nurse…Etc. I volunteer in my childrens classes, chaprone school dances, run to and from soccer practices, and dance classes. Like I said, busy, but absolutly love it!!
Busy, well I have two kids from a prior marriage and 5 years ago my ex-husband dies in the line of duty leaving me truly a single mom. But I found my true soul mate and we got married. He has four children, now we are up to 6 kids. Then came along Cayson, being our 7th child. So I have kids that range from 21 to 18 months old. So keeping up with my 18 month old while attending football priactice, fundraising meetings, cheerleading practice, tennis practice and so on. Plus keep in mind that I have adopted almost everyone of my kids friends. So we also feed them. Not to mention that my husband has two jobs so that leaves the house work totally to me. I am lucky to get make-up on in the morning, how nice would it be to have one night where I didn’t have to think about what is for dinner for my Brady Bunch Family……..Thanks for all you do and God bless.
Why is Dinnertime such a challenge? From early rising, jobs, baths and bedtime….my 5 year old, 1 year old and hubby of 8 years keep me busy. Would love a break in the kitchen-once a week!!
I think all moms are busy while trying to keep it all together! I know for me between classes for my RN and raising 2 wild boys, volunteering and taking care of the home, life is always busy. I do love these meals so I hope I win!
I am busiest with a 2-year old and 1-month old, working full-time and my husband runs his own business working 12 hour days, the only time I find for a little bit of inline is maybe lunch hour. And won’t it be great to not have to cook before lunch hour or dinner hour!
I know that I am the busiest now than I ever have been and that’s all I need to know! I have worked in the corporate world, at an insurance headquarters, around 50 hours a week before I had kids….and that sure doesn’t compare (as every mom knows) to the 24/7 on-call duties of a stay-at-home mom! I have a 3 year old daughter, a very rambunctious 13 month old son, and a baby boy due July 11th! My daughter occupies my mind & emotions as she CONSTANTLY engages me in conversation and questions. My son, on the other hand, keeps me running…there is NOTHING he will not put in his mouth. He gets into everything and then decides he wants to put everything into his mouth! Being pregnant (now at 30 weeks, having to go to the doctor very frequently) is also a challenge just due to the sheer physical demand on my body. So, for me, the challenge is to take it moment by moment, count it all as a joy & blessing, and to remember these crazy times of diapers, potty training, saying “no touch” every 5 seconds, coloring, dancing, housekeeping, meal preparation, and soon to be nursing and up in the middle of the night…..these times go by very quickly and I don’t want to miss the opportunities I have. Not to mention, I am a pastor’s wife, so I am very busy helping my husband at church, supporting him and doing various tasks, teaching a bible study, and being part of several women’s groups. A busy life yes, but a life full of joy…I wouldn’t have it any other way!
How do you compare with all these great mom’s in need?! Well, I, too, am very busy with my 2 and 3 year old, and my husband works 7 days a week, so it’d be nice for mom (me) to get a break once in a while in the kitchen without having to spend money out of our tight budget for a fast food, unhealthy meal. Anyway, this would definitely come in handy and be a huge blessing to our family. Thanks for the opportunity!
Busy mom…YES! I have three children and a husband, a lizard, babysitting a dog, a rabbit, and another lizards. I work part time, homeschool my children, run kids to dance, sports, piano, and Awanas. I try to keep the laundry clean often enough that the kids don’t run out of socks. I have weeds to pull, vegetables to plant, house to clean, and eat! Dinner becomes a very unpredictable event most nights. Can’t say I’m unhappy though – wouldn’t trade the husband and kids for ANYTHING!
My husband works out of town all week and is only home on the weekends, I am helping raise my 15mos. grandson, I also raise puppies so all this is a 24/7 job to say the least. By the time I do chores, tidey up the house, laundry, dishes, coupons, 4 hours of sleep……no time to cook that’s for sure!
I am the busiest mom! Micah is 3 and Makenna is 21 months old. I am now a pro at playing cars and building towers. I have a very active and imaginative boy who loves making up stories while playing and I too, must act out stories. Love em’ though! It would be great to win this prize and have supper all prepared so I can continue to be a pro at playing with my children.
With four children ages 9 to 2 I am definitely busy! Plus they are all girls! I’ve been told we have a rocky road ahead of us in the teenage years. Here is a snap shot of my week: Monday-grocery shopping and ballet, Tuesday-laundry, Wednesday-ballet, Thursday-ballet (other daughter), Friday-catch up on errands day. I would love a night of free meals each week!
I am a busy mom, just like all mom’s are busy… I have a 9 month old, a 2 year old, and a busy husband…..we like to have an easy meal each week, it allows us to spend more time together. I like to sit down with my family for dinner and an easy meal means i dont have to spend an hour in the kitchen cleaning after dinner. so, more evening time to play together and spend time with eachother! thanks for the opportunity!
My daughter likes to play whole day. I barely have time to do other chores or cook. Winning this giveaway will be a great help. Thanks!
I am a busy mother of 4 great kids. We live in rural Colorado on a small farm raising goats and various types of birds. My husband is recovering from surgery and we have alot of maintenance to do on our house and barn, we also have to fence the property properly for the goats (which got sick and had to have shots 2x a day for 10 days) We also homeschool the oldest 3 kids and the little one (almost 2) has learned how to let himself outside!! I am currently typing this on my “lunch break” while the little one is napping. Hope we win! I would really appreciate not having to think about dinner!
I’m a very busy mom. My husband is in full-time medical school- which is worse than a full-time job because he’s at school studying for evenings and weekends, too. I have a 2 yr-old and a 3-yr old. I juggle preschool, dance class, several responsibilities at Church, and serving other people in as many ways as I can. I wish every day had a few more hours in it, so that I wouldn’t have to sacrifice sleep at night to get more things accomplished. But please don’t misunderstand- I love my kids, my husband, and my life!
With a 4 year old and 3 year old triplets … there is never a dull moment! Between wearing my maid hat, referee shirt, driving my taxi cab, feeling like I am running a laundromat, part time couponer/bargain shopper, etc. On top of it, my husband has been unemployed for 6 months, so the giveaway would be would be heaven sent!!
Well, I am a homeschooling mom to 6. Need I say more? 🙂
I never thought I would be so busy being a stay at home mom but it seems like there are never enough hours in the day to get all the cooking, cleaning, & laundry done and still have time for my kids and husband! Winning free meals for a year would be a huge blessing and make my load alot lighter!
I’m a busy mom of a 2 1/2 year old (that keeps her own schedule) and a 6 month old, whom I’m still nursing. I own my own business, take care of the girls full time and find time to keep the house up and have dinner ready for my hubby! It’s a busy day, but I love it!
With 4 kids 5 and under at home and a kindergarten class of 25 more I consider myself pretty busy! A year of free meals sounds like heaven!
THis would be a great addition to our weekly menu (which takes me 15 min a week just to plan) then I have to go shop for all the ingredients, put them all away, cut them, clean them, make them into heathly and delicious meals ontop of cleaning the house, giving baths, changing diapers, checking homework, making lunches, the list could go on and on!!!!! I am always busy!!!
I’m the busiest mom I know for millions of reasons–Mainly because, although I work and have 3 kids, I never say no. Everyone knows to just ask Dawn if you can’t find someone to do an activity, from picking up nonEnglish speaking Greek teachers coming to visit my children’s school, or spending the day painting faces at the school picnic. I do it all! My mindset has always been, “Don’t ask yourself if you can do it, ask yourself when you can do it!” I always get it done!
My two part-time jobs, precious little boy, and wonderful husband keep me plenty busy. That’s aside from housework and cooking which can be a full-time job on its own. Having one meal a weak already prepared would be a blessing!
I am too busy to write why I am the busiest mom!!!!
I work outside of the home, so by the time I pick my daughter up and take her home I’m already worn out. But then I have to make dinner, clean up after dinner, give my baby a bath and play with her for a while. Then once I get her put to bed I have to get everything together for the next day. I feel like I’m constantly on the move! These meals would free up time for me in the evenings to just enjoy my family.
Being a single mom of 3 and working two jobs makes me a very busy mom. Keeping up with 3 active kids, getting them where they need to go, staying on top of homework and just handling the every day issues, there is not enough time in my day. Having a night of free meals would truly be a blessing to me and my family.
I am a mother of three and also a preschool teacher, so I am “Mom” to many kids throughout each day. Not having to think about what to prepare for dinner once a week would be such a load off my mind!
I work full time and have a 4 year old and a 3 year. They both are in T-Ball and have practice once a week along with a game once a week. Along with all that I then have a house to clean and clothes to do just like every other mom. Thanks
My busy wife manages to love her Lord, to support her pastor husband, to maintain a long distance friendship with our college daughter, to home school and parent our two boys, to enjoy our pets and to work outside the home to help support our family. She be one busy momma! Grateful, Karl
My mom is the busiest mom. She homeschools 6 children. Her hubby was in the Navy, and traveled a LOT. She has been married to him 18 years. But she kept her cool, and took great care of us. She takes us to the pool for a summer swim team from 8am-12 every day (excluding sunday) and her oldest does winter swimming. She takes wonderful care of her daughter with Down Syndrome, and although it’s very trying, she does excellent with her. She helps out with a weekly co-op. She does wonderful b-day parties for each kid, even if it takes up a lot of time. She’s on her feet 15-16 hours a day. She doesn’t have a maid (although she wishes she did sometimes:) and not having to worry about a meal once a week would be a GREAT help. Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
My mom devoted her youth to raising her family and children. She is the most caring, loving and patient person I ever met. I would love for her to win this.
I doubt that I am the world’s busiest mom but I do have my hands full with a 4 year old that has begun homeschooling this year and a 16 month old who is into anything he can get his hands on! They are my greatest blessing! I have a wonderful hubby who works full-time, coaches, and attends school full-time which means he’s not able to do a lot of helping around the house. So having one meal a week that I didn’t have to slave over would be awesome!
I’m a busy mom, working part time and stay at home part time. I could use all the help I can get in putting nutricious meals on the table!
Man,,, I am just busy from 5.45 am till I drop off to sleep around 11pm … every day!!
Man what a relief it would be to have help with Supper!!!
Being the only “Secure” income that my family has had since my husband was laid off 3 years ago, means that I am always on the run. I work 3 paying job, but have 4 if you include being a mom and housewife, which means my kids are lucky if they get a real meal once a week. Monday thru Friday I work a full time job that keeps me extrememly busy, then on the weekends, and sometimes during the week, I work with rentals of inflatable. I am also the Music Director, Financial Secretary, Children’s Ministry Director, and anything else that no one else will do, at our church. Then of course I have the laundry, house work, and the job of taking care of my children and husband. It has been a big struggle for us, but we definately have made it through, and Lord knows, having help with meals would be absolutely wonderful!!!
I am probably not the busiest mom in the world, but most days I feel like. I think it is that way because I never expected to be. I was told after highschool that I would have a very hard time getting pregnant. That was until October first, 2009. I had severe stomach pain and was rushed to the hospital only to find out I was in labor. I never even knew I was pregnant. I gained almost no weight, I missed no periods, I didn’t show… the baby was in me so tight she never moved where I could feel it. That night, just a half an hour after learning I was pregnant, I had a beautiful healthy full term daughter. Because I wasn’t prepared, I still have to work full time and be a full time mom too. It makes for a hectic and yet wonderful life. It would be such a relief to me to win this and not have to stress about dinner once a week. It would give me more time to cuddle my little miracle.
I am very busy because I have a one year old and a two year old always trying to get my attention. I cook for them every day and sometimes I do not want to cook for me or my husband anymore. I would like to have a delicious meal on my table without any effort.
I am one busy momma! One husband, 2 kids, 4 pets, 2 jobs…I need these meals.
With 2 kids under 2 plus a husband -trying to keep my home running smoothly, peaceful, and happy is enough to make me the busiest mom!
I am a busy mom…Michael Angelo’s makes a great product and my family loves to eat their food. My kitchen smells so good when it is cooking!
I’m the busiest mom b/c I have 3 littles ones 4 & under… well truthfully I’m probably not THE busiest mom but I am really busy & would love the meals!! What a blessing it would be to not have to think about what to cook once a week for a whole year.
I also am a very busy mom these days. I work full time 45+ hours per week Monday through Friday and in addition to that my husband and I own and run a busy downtown restaurant. I handle all of the accounting, business decisions, marketing, web-design, and financial aspects of the restaurant as well as working there a couple of nights a week and on Saturdays. We have two young children (ages 5 and 9) and 2 horses, 3 dogs, 6 cats, and 4 ducks along with a 45 minute commute one way. We do all of our own housework, homework, yardwork, etc and it has been a really tough couple of years in this economy. Some days it’s hard to imagine that we can get through it, but the smiles on my family’s face are the motivation I need. It would be a blessing to have a night off once a week from meal preparation. Enjoy your website and good luck to all!
I am busy but not nearly as busy as my sister she has 2 young boys that are Full of energy, as well as goes to work when hubby gets home!!! I would love to win this for her!!!!!
I may not be the world’s busiest mom but I am very, very busy. I have a 10 month old daughter, a very active 4 year old, a 8 year old and a 15 year old. The three boys are both in baseball and my husband just recently came home from a six month deployment. I am currently trying to pack for a move to california and sell my home at the same time! I am a stay at home mom, but keeping up is a full time job.
I am a SAHM of two children and a proud Air Force wife. We are always on the move and currently had to downsize to a 2bdrm apt because we are moving again in the fall. (Home is where the military sends us! LOL) I am a very active Air Force spouse- I volunteer with the Enlisted Spouse Club, Key Spouse to the 20th Med Group on base, MOPS member, School Improvement Council member, PTA member, team mom for my sons tball team etc. Not to mention I cook every meal, chauffeur my family around and clean non stop! LOL- To not to have to worry about dinner once a week would be awesome not only financially but physically as well!
I am definitely a busy mom. My 2 year old keeps me going all day long, then I work part time as a RN as well. But I love it! Thanks for the chance at this.
WOW! Lots of entries – think all Moms are busy and all deserve anything that makes their life easier! Thanks for the chance.
I am so fortunate to work from home. Recently I lost my job though and that was really really scary so now I am afriad to put all of my eggs in 1 basket. I am trying to sell Avon, Beachbody, working a job, and trying to get a business up that is similar to Geek Squad. I also manage to keep 4 kids alive – I have 3 and then have my sister’s kid, 3 dogs, a cat and a ferret (had a few drinks when we bought her and thought she was cute apparently my sense of smell was numb!). Anyways, am just one of many busy Moms but thought I would chime in! Happy Mother’s Day everyone!
I would like to win the coupons for my Daughters’ Family they are losing their home due to a job loss. This would be a great help to Her and Her husband and 2 children. Thanks for considering me!
I have a 1st grader, a 5 year old that I teach his preschool class, a 3 year old who comes and learns with us, and a 19 month old who spends preschool time napping. In between, I also faciliate a music makers class for young children and their moms. I’m an avid couponer and an very involved in my church, fitting both of those in when I’m not doing something with the kids!
I don’t think I’m the busiest lady around but I’d still definitely love it to give me a ‘no brainer’ dinner each week!
I know I am not the busiest mom in the world but I am pretty darn busy. I have a two year old who we just finished potty training and a 10 month old with special needs. Potty training has been quite a challenge due to the fact that we are in the car constantly. My little guy has 4 therapy sessions a week and we are constantly on the go. I would not change a thing though and feel blessed to have two wonderful kids!
It will be very nice to win this giveaway for mothers day !!!! “A year of meals for my family ” wowww what a blessing will be …..
I’m a busy single mom with two teenagers. We could really use some help with meals.
I’m the busiest mom of 2 girls aged 2 yrs and 9 yrs. I’m always busy with chores around the house, drop off/pick ups, taking care of everyone, cooking everything from scratch( everyday and for most meals!), running around city for errands with my 2 yr old and also trying to get greatest deals avaiable out there. Keeping up with family, savings and taking care of kids and teaching them along with following rituals, culture and keeoing up with holidays and fun, I’m sure am busy mom!
I don’t know any Mom’s that aren’t busy but here is my story!
I am Mom to 4 little ones: 7 year old twin girls and 2 1/2 year old twin boys. One of my twin girls has been diagnosed with High Functioning Autism and has been one of the greatest challenges of my life but also one of the greatest rewards! In my prior life as Michele (aka before I was ‘Mom to the two sets of twins’) I worked in Accounting but had to become a stay at home Mom after the birth of my boys because child care is just too expensive. I spend my days running after little one’s, keeping house, Dr’s appts, etc and try to find ways to save money or earn a little extra any chance I can to make ends meet!
Sounds familiar I bet?! Sending blessings and admiration to all the Mom’s out there doing the same!
I am usually very busy I have 7 kids (17,14,13,11,7,2,and 17 months) and homeschool all of them!
I’m a busy mom who teaches ELL part time, has a 1-year-old and 3-year-old, and is married to a man who is in grad school and coaches two varsity sports 🙂 I love my life!
After reading many of these, I realize I may not be the busiest mom, but somedays…it seems like I am! I am a stay at home mom to a 2 year old and we have a little one on the way. My husband works crazy hours (5 to 7 days a week and from 4 am until 11 pm during the summer), so most days I am taking care of all the house duties, our babies, and I have already started homeschooling my little boy. We also are still in the process of moving and selling our old house.
It seems I have been a busy Mom to other peoples children since my mid twenties when I was given the care of teenage mothers with babies. When the girls (now 28) left I thought that I would not take any more children unless I had a husband. God saw things differently. I found the son of one of my girls seven years ago in foster care and I adopted him. He was six then and is now 13. We found his two biological brothers and they are together in the same adoptive home. I make sure that they spend a lot of time together. Their Birth mother gave birth to a fourth baby and we brought him home from the hospital and kept him for his first five months during which time paternity was established and he was transitioned into his father’s home. I am now homeschooling my son. I was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis ten years ago, and other diagnoses seemed to roll in after that. I lost my ability to do so many of the things that I felt I was really good at. God has given me new abilities and he keeps me busy with this wonderful young man that he gifted me with. I am also a Sunday school teacher, spokenwordartist, motivational speaker, and an interpreter of sign language at my church. I am grateful that in spite of my health, God still can find a use for me.
Wow! I don’t know how I stack up against some of these women, but I can compete:) I just started back to work after a minor maternity leave. I am now a proud mother to a 2.5 month old along with an 18 month old. All of this while working full time. It is crazy, but worth every second. Thanks for the chance to win this amazing giveaway.
I know I’m not the busiest mom in the world, but we stay very busy I am a single mome to three children, a 12-yr old daughter and 10-yr old twin sons. All three are very involved in sports and church and we stay on the go constantly. Thanks for having this giveaway! Happy mothers day everyone.
I am a busy retiree who is also an artist. I am writing this for my mom who is too ill to make her own meals. I go over and fix meals as often as I can, but there are times that I cannot be there. My mom has cooked all her life and is very picky about her meals. She does love the homeade taste of , Michael Angelo’s foods. I would like to have these meals to take to her. They are so easy to make that she can fix them herself. I have so many shows and teaching engagements that I don’t have time to always fix meals and take to her as she lives an hour away. Thanks for the opportunity for a chance to win this.
I am soooo busy. I am a mother of a three (5,7,9) children. I am currently going to school full-time at our local university. I attend classes 5 days a week. I get all of our lunches ready and I get my boys off school and then drop off my daughter at preschool. I then spend most of my day at school. I pick up my daughter and run the daily errands just in time to meet my boys off the bus. I help them with their homework while doing laundry or the dishes. I then start dinner so we can we eat before my boys’ soccer games(each have 2-3 week). I leave the leftovers in the fridge for my husband who does not get home until 6:30pm. My oldest son is in scouts which is every Tuesday after school, so after homework is done I run him to scouts. My little girl is in dance on Wednesdays after school so I run her to dance. My son is in speech therapy so I try to do extra things with him while the other two are gone. I get my kids bathed and in bed by 8:30pm. I then help my husband with his volunteer services(proofing letters, websites, etc.). He works full-time, is taking night classes and weekend classes , is a volunteer fire-fighter and helping to get a search in rescue team up. For mother’s day weekend he will actually be 300 miles away searching a large area for a young mother who went missing in December. I then stay up until 1-2am doing my homework. I try to donate food to funerals in the my church and those who need of dinner. Every Friday night I clean my grandmother’s house and my children, husband, and I clean our church every Saturday. I am the nursery leader at our church which is the 18month olds-3 year old kids. So every Sunday I am there for three hours. My husband and I are also on the church activities community which is a huge task several times a year (we have several hundred members just in my ward.) I have a jewerly business that I try to run but sometimes it gets the back burner so I can try to squeeze in my house work when their is time which is very inconstant. My father is 54 years old and have a stroke so we have him at an assisting living facility but I take him to his appointments and take him to get out whenever possible.
I have a auto-immune disease which causing a lot of pain and makes me very ill, so some day are definitely harder then others.
The help with dinner would be amazing for my family,a true blessing and we would appreciate it so much!
I am not the busiest Mom, but if I win I will share them with some VERY busy Mom’s in my life! : )
I am very very busy. I have an 8 year old son in 2nd grade and 3 1/2 year old triplets! I stay busy by helping out at my son’s school, working at my preschoolers mothers day out, volunteering at church and taking care of my family.
Well, I would say I am probably not the BUSIEST Mom as I apparently have the time to enter this contest!
Just thought I would add some humor and less busy news! Thanks~
I am a single Mom that works seven days a week, never have time to have a real meal and alwasys rely on Michael Angel’s Meals to have a very good and healty meal. Would love to enjoy these meals every week for a year and certainly could help on my grocery bills. There is not one meal that I have tried that we did not enjoy. Thanks for all the healty choices and trust me they wilkl be enjoyed if I’m the lucky chosen ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am entering my girlfriend. She keeps it together when all seems lots. She works full time- plus on night shift, sleeps only 4 hours and still finds a way to keep a smile on her face and keep all of us on track.
I am a very busy mom and grandma. Keeping up with my grandkids while planning my daughters wedding and helping my other daughter as she is soon due with her first child is what is keeping me busy these days. I also do secretary work for my husbands business and keep track of his many daily appointments. Finding time for me is difficult let alone time to make a nice dinner every night so I would love this. Thanks for the chance!
I am a busy mom of 2 boys, 2 and 4. I am a stay at home mom who is constantly looking for good deals. My husband works many hours so I am pretty much on my own.
Wow – these postings are touching! Working mom with 4 hungry kids (16, 15, 13, and 10); 2 are special needs, and of course a husband with a hearty appetite! Imagine this – they expect to eat EVERY day!! 🙂 I love to cook but not EVERY night! Thanks for hosting this.
wife, mom to three, part-time nurse, runner, sewer, reader, couponer, chef, traveler, maid, errand-runner. whew! doesn’t leave much time for me!
I am a very busy grandmother and mother. I have 3 children and 3 grandkids. Two of my sons still live with me and my daughter brings over her kids quite a bit. I work full-time, and am always cooking, cleaning, shopping for deals, and babysitting. I barely ever have time for myself.
This would be the most helpful win ever, if I where picked. I have 2 picky and I do mean picky eaters at home. My 3yr. old and my USN sailor husband . But they will run to the table for lasagna night every wednesday because its their favorite and thats why I love this product!! It brings them to the table every time!!! Life gets hectic for everyone. So first I would like to wish all the hard working mommies a HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!! I’m a young mom learning the field as I go, never in my dreams did I think having a full time 24/7 job would be so rewarding, and thats exactly what I get being a mom 🙂 On top of that I have school full time and the demands of karate, pre-school parent involved activities and the in and out departures of my husbands demanding job. But hey what can I do but to adjust to being a single parents half the time and getting trough it for my son and my husband, so that he knows that I can hold down his part and he can just focus on his job. Sometimes after school and running around picking up my son and tacking to his activities we get home real late to cook an entire dinner for just 2 so I love having this lasagna on the freezer at all times because I can pop in the oven and in the mean time help my kid shower and read his homework review by the time we’re done dinner is ready ! And its delicious and healthy!!! What can be better than that! I’m sure there is no way I’m the busiest mom out there but winning this would definitely make my day easier and less stressful.
I am a busy stay at home mom of 2(would not condsider myself the worlds busiest mom)…but any extra help at dinner time would be wonderful!
Wow, it’s always amazing to me how busy and hard I think my life is until I read about someone else’s! So, I was planning on going on and on about my kids, husband and all our drama, but instead… can I just vote for Kelly Schirado, comment #742? I don’t know her personally, but from what she wrote, I think she could use the help much more than I could! Either way, I know this giveaway will be a huge blessing in someone’s life! Thanks!
I am one busy lady with a 5 year old, a 2 year old, and an 8 month old. Between preschool runs, church functions, running our household, cooking, baby needs, and playdates….. our days are very busy! I’m so blessed to have a busy and fulfilling life – but these dinners sure would be nice! I would love to have a night off from cooking once a week. 🙂 Thanks so much for the giveaway opportunity!!
Thanks for the opportunity! I have twins who are almost 3. Thankfully I can stay home to keep them fed, entertained, and clean. I also work with my husband who is self-employed, am the president of our moms of multiples club and coordinate showers at my church. I wouldn’t have it any other way. Busy is best!
What Mom is not busy?! I have 2 beautiful girls ages 7 & 10. They are involved in the usual after school activities and sporting events. This past Thanksgiving my 56 year old mom suffered a stroke, this has turned my already busy life upside down. It would be nice to have a go to meal on those nights when I never get around to cooking dinner.
My mother was the busiest mom. She raised the family, was activity in the school and church, worked and was always there for others. Now she could benefit from having a meal a week already prepared so she will eat.
I am the busiest mom. I have two boys, 5 and 3, whom I have to get ready, and we travel an hour (one-way) to school and daycare, across from my work. Then by 4:00pm, we start the hour to hour-and-half trek home, where I have to get dinner prepared, tomorrow’s clothes laid out, tomorrow’s snacks ready, and two little boys bathed and to bed. By 9:00pm, i finally sit down to relax and enjoy an hour with my husband before I am off to bed to complete the cycle all over again.
I think anyone who is a mom is going to be very busy trying to raise their children the right way! I have a 2 year old son and a 9 month old daughter. It is always crazy around the house, and though I do work from home, sometimes its hard to get everything done and clean the house and fix a hot dinner for my hubby before he gets home. This would help out greatly on those days where the kids get the better of me!
I’m sure that I’m not THE busiest mom. I have my challenges. I’m a wife. I’m a mom to 3 kids 5 years old and younger. I have a household to run, and as cheaply as possible, since we currently have no regular income. So I spend a lot of time trying to get us the best deals on all that we need. This would help us out a lot, and when we are financially back on our feet, we will be more than happy to pass on the free food to those in need.
I’m a busy mom with two beautiful girls, ages 3 and 1 who keep my on my toes and I love it! 🙂
I’m homeschooling 3 wonderful girls and we’re pretty much together 24/7 so there’s just not enough time in the day to get everything done. Cooking is the one chore I dislike the most and would love to not have to think about that one!
Life is busy as a mom with full time work outside the home and then having 6 children and one with special needs. Thankful for the strength of God in my life to keep going.
I am a busy Mom of 2 boys, ages 5 and 2. My five year old is a special needs little guy with a genetic disease that doctors cannot diagnose. He has a feeding tube and other physical needs.I spend time taking him to preschool, doctors, appointments, speech therapy and other therapy to help his developmental challenges. Besides taking care of him, I have a two year old that I try to keep up with.:)
Well my first name is “Mom” so that automatically means busy:) Wife, mother of 2, part-time job, full time homemaker, Bible study leader, volunteer, dishwasher, clothes washer, maid, chef, bus driver, tutor, teacher, CFO of the Wiisan Inn, counselor, mediator, physician and the jobs go on!! Wouldn’t trade it for anything! I love being a busy mom!
I enjoy being a busy mom to my two little boys. With one on the way, I know the meals will be a huge help.
I am a busy homeschool mom of 4. My hubby works 7 day swing shifts. Now that my middle kids are teens- 2 in college but still living at home- I am taking online classes from a local college too! Oh and we just had our first grandchild. I try to go over and spend as much time with her as I can. I have loved learning how to coupon but I barely have the time to devote to that like I would like! I have to study for school and study with my kids when I would rather be studying coupons! Lol! Oh and I am also a 4+ yr cancer survivor! Yay! I finally feel like I have gotten the old me back as far as strength and energy. The fog is lifting!
I work full time, have a rowdy two year old boy, and am getting ready to go back to college!
I am the busiest mom with four kids, working full time as a counselor, volunteering for science olympiad, running a candy sale, and chaufering my kids around town. As blessed as I am, it would be wonderful to have one cooking night off each week. Thank you for this wonderful contest!
Not the busiest but busy. I’m a stay at home mom of a 2 year old with one side business and starting another.My husband is a youth pastor. We are traveling on church trips 5-6 weeks out of the year. When we are at home I serve along side him at all of the youth events, meetings and church activities, putting something on the calendar 5 out of 7 nights of the week. Though we love what we do, we are busy people! Prepared meals are must in our home.
I am the busiest mom because I have 2 children age 3 and 7. I am a foster parent. I have had two more children come in to care age 2 and 3. I work and take care of 4 children, have supper on table when my husband comes home. My work is from sunup to sundown. I am the busiest mom
I am definitely not the busiest mom, but I do stay quite busy with my adorable 20-month-old girl. With my hubby in school, this would definitely help out a lot!
I am so busy! I am a mom to two under two! My 1 month old son is a night owl and we have nightly get togethers at 1 am. My 22 month old son is constantly on the go. I am either chasing him, changing a diaper, nursing the baby, or washing a load of spit-up-on clothes… Motherhood is busy, but so rewarding!
Wife of a surgical resident with a 3 year old and a full time job! Crazy describes our household. Would really love those coupons.
I have three little girls. The girls are almost 4, almost 2 and 6 months old. My husband works from 2 PM to at least 11:00 PM. I am the one who entertains, cooks, cleans, gives baths, grocery shops, whewwww I can’t beleive I had the time to leave this comment….
I don’t think I am THE busiest mom, I only have 2 kids (well 3 if you count hubs, right?) I am grateful for a chance to win this prize. i do work outside the home full time and coordinate the needs of my family from organizing the dental appointments to paying the bills. I love my 3 dogs and have been active in purebred rescue for many years, but am currently on break (until another one needs me).
Again, thanks for the chance!
We are a very busy family! Two teen boys and a baby boy. Between the three kids and my husband food goes fast….. We would love to win dinner! Thank you for this give away!
I have 4 kids 9,6,4 &2. My hubby works out of state and out of the country 🙁 I am one busy mama trying to keep up with the oldest 2’s school schedules and chasing around the 2 youngest! Add to that church activities, swim lessons, baseball, & soccer – I hardly have time to breathe…let alone cook 🙂 These meals would be a sanity saver!
I have 5 children, that fact alone qualifies me for a very busy mom!
I am a mother of 3 children 5 and under and one more on the way. I am completely overwhelmed with morning sickness, so a meal easy to prepare is an awesome thing. I start homeschooling in the fall! My time is pretty packed with ministries at church and MOPS and I love life!!!
I am probly not the busiest mom but i am a busy mom. i have a 3 year old and a 1 year old. both boys and they def. keep me busy. my hubby owns his own construction business and i help with the paper work and often end up being his gopher. i often babysit for working moms and love to help out where i can. i would love to win this, what an awesome giveaway!! thanks for hosting.
The days are not long enough for me to do all the things that need to be done
I am entering my mom, even though I am a mom of two young girls. My mom is the best. We do not live near each other but she takes time out of her busy day to stop and call me to see how I am doing and the girls. My mom still works past the retirement age. She has had arthritis for many years and her hands are now being affected greatly. She is a wonderful cook but has a hard time cooking since her hands just will not work the way she would like for them to. How fun to surprise her wtih one meal week!! Thanks for posting this give away and what a blessing to be a busy mom!
I am a very busy mom! With a 16 month old who just learned to walk and a 3 year old who’s always busy getting into everything and is always hungry! This would really help us out.
Everyone is so busy taking care of others! I keep busy taking care of my two children and doing my best to keep them safe. As I write this they are in the next room making some very disturbingly loud noises, so I am probably too busy to enter this contest! Off I go to figure out what was broken!
I’m a homeschool mom of 6 children! And yes, they keep me very busy. Not only do I spend time teaching them everyday, we drive back and forth to their co-op classes twice a week. Our curriculum includes Latin, Spanish, Math, History, Science, Reading, Writing, Spelling! We have fun and learn together, but it is a huge time commitment. I have also been teaching my children economics, which encludes saving money and couponing! Whenever one of my children wants to buy something, they always say, “Do we have a coupon for that??” I think it would be fun if they could pick out some favorite Meals – free with coupons!
I’m not the busiest mom, but I feel like I stay busy all the time! I am a stay-at-home mom, and I have two daughters, ages 2 and 8 months. My 8-month-old is crawling now, and she likes to get into EVERYTHING!! Between changing diapers, laundry, cleaning, couponing, shopping, and (occasional) cooking, I stay very busy! My husband also currently works out of town Monday-Thursday, so evenings and bedtime routines are left up to me.
WOW!!! This is a really great offer!! I am not going to say that I am the busiest mom, but I could defiantly use the help with cooking. I am a mother of 4 (3girls and1boy), 2 dogs, and 23 chickens!! I am an Emergency Room RN of a busy urban hospital. Two years ago this past March I contracted a very unique strain of Pneumonia from one of my patients. A fellow nurse also caught the same Pneumonia and she passed away!! Thankfully, I have survived but I have had major mental and physical disabilities ever since. This type of pneumonia is not well studied therefore the future is unknown. Winning this would mean help for my beloved husband that works 3 jobs to help provide and take care of everything. Of course, I have good and bad days, but it is alot of strain on him. Thank you for holding this contest and best of luck to all who are the busiest moms!!
Thanks you, Chris Farmer
I am a busy work at home mom to 9yo twin girls. I run 2 part-time businesses out of my home. Between that I run my girls around to their soccer practices and games as well as church and school activities. My husband works long hours on night shift and rarely gets a chance to eat a home, so a nice quick meal for me to prepare and him to come home to would be wonderful.
I’m a busy mom of 4 young children aged 10, 7, 4, and 1. Between school activities, sports and basic household duties, I always feel like I am on the go. Having a meal once a week that I didn’t have to plan in advance would be a great help. What a great giveaway. Thanks.
I am a very blessed woman with a husband that is a pastor and 6 children. One boy (12) and 5 girls from ages 10 to 1. Our culdesac has at least 2+ children in every house and they are all at our house in the driveway or backyard. When we are not at home playing with the neighbors, 3 of my kids play ball. So, we are quite busy with sports. I would love to have these meals to just pop in the oven when I’m out hanging with the kids or before we rush off to a game/practice.
I am busy because I am a mom…aren’t we all? I have a 4-year old who I have started homeschooling and an 18-month old I’m trying to keep out of trouble. My daughter takes dance and I’m trying to teach her piano. And I have a part-time job grading essays online.
I am one of the busiest Mom’s around. Although my kids are teens (16 & 18) I am still there for them always. As a single parent, I work full time to pay the bills and spend my after work time at high school sports. I also have two young men (18 & 20) that stay with us or they would be homeless and let me say 18 and 20 may be legally adult, but these young men still require lots of advice and guidance, not to mention rides to work and school. And they eat alot!
I may not be the busiest mom, but I am certainly busy! I am mother to three kids (5, 3, and 1) and currently dad too (my husband is deployed to Iraq for a year). I am planning to start homeschooling in the fall so I don’t forsee things being less busy! Not having to cook one meal a week would be awesome!
While I think every mom is deserving, I’d like to say that I am a very busy mom with my 16-month old, running errands and a household, and gosh darnit, I deserve to not cook every night 🙂

I know that I am the busiest mom of 4 children. They range from 16 years old to 6 years old. Today, I met with a boss , left to take my 8 year old to the doctor for a sore throat, worked for 2 hours, came home to pick up other children, cook dinner, and try to figure out how I am going to be at 3 different baseball games tonight and a band concert for my daughter that all start within an hour apart!!! Whoa, what a day !
Stay at home, but busy mom to identical twin 3 year olds and wife to a US soldier. We are always running around to playgroups, storytimes, church activities and not to forget my own hobby, couponing!!! At home, we are under constant renovations and always gardening. I love to find a good deal and this would be a great one!
Wow, what busy, busy bees we all are! I’m an active duty Army officer, a half-time graduate student, mother of two active kids (8-year-old girl and 12-year-old boy) trying to fit in time to train for a marathon and keep the family budget under wraps by saving everywhere I can. The combination of saving a bit on the grocery bill AND not having to cook once a week would be wonderful! Best wishes to everyone!
I think all moms are busy!!! But I am a very busy mom to a 15 yr. old daughter, 7 yr. old daughter and twin 5 yr. old boys. I feel like all I do is run someone somewhere!! Between softball, soccer and volleyball, not to mention all of the school activities and then camps in the summer — it gets very busy around dinnertime — it would be great not to have to think about what to cook!
I may not be the busiest mom around, but I definately do my fair share. I have 3 sons who are 10, 14 and 17 and a husband (that should count as an extra kid) and a full time job. I am the only female in the house unless you count my 2 dogs. So that in itself says I could definately use dinner help just so that maybe I could have a moment of woman time to myself (hello bubble bath). My family is my life and I wouldn’t trade a day for them, but an hour a week, maybe. Every mom I know deserves this, because we all could use a break every now and then. To all the mother’s including mine, Happy Mother’s Day
I always thought life would be less busy when my kids got older – BUT – as a mom of 4 boys (grown at 23 and 21) and almost grown (at 18 and 15), life is more hectic than ever. Three of the four still live at home full time and currently the eldest is unable to drive or work, so I am chauffeur to both my 23 & 15 year olds. Each one has his own schedule, but I try to provide dinner for everyone every night. My husband and I work with a small humanitarian agency. He travels a lot and I hold down the fort when he’s gone. I love my guys, but they keep me hopping! Not having to think about dinner one night a week would be AMAZING!
I may be a “stay-at-home mom”, but by far I have one of the busiest jobs out there. I am married with four wonderful children ranging from age 1 to 14. On a normal day I get up at 6am to get 3 of my kids off to school. All 3 of them go to 3 different schools which start and end at different times. When I am finally done feeding them and getting them to school I have to get my grocery shopping, laundry, cleaning, doctor appointments.etc all done before noon so that I can pick up my 4 yr old from school. I always have my 1 yr old in tow since she is not in daycare. I get home at lunch time, feed my 1yr old and 4yr old lunch, then put them down for naps. While they are napping, I finish any cleaning and laundry that still needs to be done and make any calls that I need to since this is the one time during the day that it is actually quiet in my house. I wake them both at 2pm to go pick up my 5yr old from school. And believe it or not, he actually has homework. We come home and do his homework while I try to get things ready for dinner. I have to start early since I have to pick up my 14 yr old from school at 4:45. So then after I pick up my 14 yr old (and give rides home for his friends that seem to have missing parents), we come back home to finish dinner and eat before we have to leave AGAIN to go to a Scout meeting, FFA Meeting, AFJROTC meeting, soccer practice, or whatever fun activities the schools might be having a the time. This week it is 4 scout functions every evening except yesterday and a school board meeting that we are trying to squeeze in on Thursday. I also volunteer at our church and at the schools whenever I can. Most of the time I have to take ALL of my kids with me to everything if it is after school since my husband doesn’t get home until after 7pm. It gets very hectic sometimes with the screaming, fighting, whining, dirty diapers, and scrapes in between all the other things. When we are finally all home around 8pm, I have to read to my 3 little ones every night. They never let me get away without reading to them and praying before we turn out the light. Finally, when they are done with asking for drinks and going to the bathroom, the house is quiet. I clean up the kitchen from dinner and usually use some of the quiet time to sit and talk with my husband about his day while I clip coupons and fill out forms from school. Around 11pm after spending time with my husband,who is also exhausted from his long day, I finally go to my room to pray. I thank God everyday for my husband and my kids. I love them all so much, and I would not change “jobs” for anything. Most of the time I fall asleep before I am finished praying. This is my normal weekday…the weekends are just as busy. I won’t get started on that though. If I could just have 1 dinner a week that is easy to make and doesn’t make the big mess that a home cooked dinner makes, it would at least give me one evening a week to spend playing instead of cooking and cleaning. I would be so grateful for having a relaxing evening once a week for a year. It would save me 2 hours a week for 52 weeks. That would give me an extra 104 hours of quality time with the ones I love most!! How awesome that would be!!
Like so many other Moms the list never ends. There is the day to day, two children always needing or looking for something, we homeschool so that adds another whole job to do (just done at home instead of away form home), cooking three meals a day, seven days a week, budgeting my husbands salary to meet all of our needs, which that leads to checking the blogs, cutting the coupons, and doing the shopping strategically, the kids are in golf, PE co-op, science co-op, and Literature club so homeschooling turns into van schooling, my daughter keeps adding to her volunteer roles at church so I am constantly back and forth to church to drop her off or pick her up, then there is Tues. night Bible study, Wed. night small group for my daughter, Sunday services, and then I just got asked to do crafts for the 3-4’s for VBS at our mega church, how about the play time outside with the kids and watching them out there while they play with their friends, and then this week we started taking care of our neighbors 5 week old so that she could go back to work, and………. I think that I will stop there as I need to get back to the day to day, the schooling and the baby – oh yeah, it’s past time for lunch. So this give-away would mean one less dinner to budget for each week and one less dinner to worry over as to what’s for dinner tonight. And that would be awesome. Thank you so much.
Bless you, as you will have a lot of comments to read…I don’t envy you that. Well, all mom’s/caregivers deserve to win this…we all live such busy lives today…maybe to busy?
Me: Well, my plate is VERY FULL as the majority of folks are…with all else I do to run a smooth household with the day in day out “stuff”…I have the sad, tiring, but, mixed blessing of helping my dad through chemo and radiation…he was diagnosed at Christmas…Cancer patience food needs are a challenge…if anyone has been there they understand what I am saying…just getting the person to just to eat is a JOB. Sadly, we lost my young mom almost a year ago in June…cancer too…and my Aunt two weeks later…, thus far my dads side effects are not nearly as bad as my sweet mom’s were…so, I have been so busy the last couple of years…because before all the cancer diagnosis I was finishing up college at a major Florida university…and finally got my degree in Bus Admin/Mktg.tut, haven’t been able to find work…which is weird in retrospect, maybe it was not to be now, because of all these cancer diagnosis and I was needed somewhere else???…it has all be a challenge but I persevere somehow…with Gods help I suppose. Most of us will do and sacrifice whatever and anything for our loved ones…Like the Michael Angelos company…family first. BTW, love the healthy version of eggplant parm/baked, the vegetarian lasagna, and creamy garlic chicken. Good Luck All.
I am very busy and use some help with dinner. It would be wonderful to win an entire year! I have two little ones and when Daddy gets hope it’s the most stressful part of our days b/c everyone is tired and hungry – oh boy would this help. Thanks for posting such a great prize!
Like many, a household of four with two working adults is hectic. Trying to feed everyone healthy and responsibly means cooking 95% of our meals from scratch, with many of the ingredients straight from our garden or produce I have canned or frozen. I make myself crazy but I wouldn’t have it any other way!
I am a busy stay at home mom of a very active 3 year old little boy and a 3 month old baby girl! They keep me very busy and my husband is in the army and gone all the time. So there is less time to make dinner with 2 little kiddos who always need me! It would truly be a blessing to win this great giveaway and to know I have at least 1 item to throw in the oven when I dont have the time to think about prepairing a meal!
I am a busy mom of teenage daughters, Grace, 16 and Ashley, 14. I’m sure many, many other moms are more busy than myself, but I do appreciate the opportunity to win this wonderful prize package!
My mother may not be the busiest mom ever, but she runs the busiest house ever. Raising five children after a full days work is hard to do. While a few of us spend most of our nights doing homework, others are always on the go, and always looking for rides. Between sunday mornings, nights, and Wednesday nights at church, then softball, baseball, football, choir, and working teenagers, as well as youth activities, graduations, birthdays, doctors & dentist appointments, and keeping the housework and yardwork up, my mother never has a moment to her self, nor a moment to make a meal that doesn’t consist of pizza or fast food. Please choose my mother and our family to enjoy a good home cooked meal at least once a week. We would greatly appreciate it!
Sincerely,
The five children of an exhausted mother.
3 boys 4 & under + teaching preschool + one car family + classes + church responsibilities + staying in shape + taking care of house + being a loving wife = BUSY MOM!
I know I am not the busiest mom, but I would just like to win to donate to my local food bank.
So busy bearly had time to enter this contest:-)
So busy bearly had time to enter this contest:-). This would be a huge help for our family of five. We go go go all week.
I am a super busy mama. I have a 5 year old daughter, who I stay home with. I work full time for a non-profit that allows me to work from home (thank goodness), I run a real estate company that does short sales, which is tons of work for little to no pay (I figured out my hourly pay on my last closing, it was 12.4 cents per hour, sad isn’t it), I work for an attorney assisting him with loan modifications (which again, is tons of work for little pay, but atleast I get the satisfaction of helping someone keep their home). Aside from that, I help my mom with her accounting company and lend a helping hand to my husband at hip families shop when they are in the weeds.
I have decided to go back to school to finish up my degree (3 more classes to go, yay!) and classes start in 2 weeks. And let’s not forget the cooking, cleaning, couponing, grocery shopping, the activities with my daughter, taking care of the dog, the garden (just started trying to grow my own veggi’s, we’ll see how that turns out)…
Few…I’m stressed out just thinking about it all… just another day in the life of a mom I guess.
Honestly I almost feel guilty entering this after I read some of the other comments. I am a stay at home mom of 3 children, but I feel like I live in my car. This would be a great help for our family. Thanks for the chance
I have a daughter age 3 1/2 who was just diagnosed with aspergers last week. Her 18 month old sister has about a 60-70 percent chance also. Between occupational therapy and special ed preschool, we are to sign her up for swimming and tumbling. Her younger sister also has early intervention. I also teach in church each month, and work 4 nights a week. I would love to know that my family has healthy food on the table while I am at work!
I have 4 kids, 1 foreign student, 1 husband, 2 cats, 1 dog, 6 fish, a garden, a blog, a part-time job, a house, meals to prepare, cleaning to do, church activities…and I love my busy life!!!
I am a very busy mom with five kids. I teach gifted children and try to keep up with my own kids and the 74 fourth and fifth graders that I teach. Plus, my husband and I have our own business and I am responsible for the bookeeping. Finally, my son is getting married this month and we have lots of preparations for this exciting event. We are also in a Dave Ramsey Financial Peace class and so I am trying to learn more ways to save money! We would love these delicious meals to save some time!
I am the mother of 3—-one in college. When we got transferred a few years ago, it became necessary for me to work outside the house, which I had not done for 20+ years. I have several part time jobs and many days work 3 of them. Sad, but true, I got injured almost 5 months ago, so now, between trying to supervise all the household chores, going to physical therapy, and working hours a day to learn to walk agian, I keep busy as well as my husband who does the cookig, shopping, and most of the cleaning. The boys do most of the laundry and I often fold it when it is finished. A year of meals would be a blessing to all of us. Once I can walk again, having an easy to do meal woul be a wonderful encouragement to me.
So busy bearly had time to enter this contest lol. This would be a huge help for our family of five. We go go go all week and could use a heathly choice for a go to meal weekly. Plus we love Italian food.
All moms are busy, I am no different. Single mom of FOUR boys. Life has been turned upside down since my husband left me for a younger model and he is busy raising her kids. Ughhhh I really need to know where I can get a voo doo doll, but in case I can’t this would help out alot to.
My best friend Lindsey is the busiest single mom I know. She has two boys, ages 3 and 7. She works full time as second grade teacher, tutors three days a week after school, attends every single one her her 7-year-old’s baseball and karate practices, teaches Sunday School and is a spokes person for her local Sav-A-Life charity. She manages every single aspect of caring for her two children and herself. She is always willing and wanting to give the small amount of her free time to her children and never complains about never having any free time to herself. I don’t even think she has had a haircut in over a year! Not only would this free up some time for her, but it would allow her to free up her a budget a small bit so just MAYBE should could do something for herself. She deserves this more than anyone I know…
I have three kids and a dog and I am a new stay at home mom. I feel busy but not overly so. I do, however, love lasagna!! Thanks for the contest.
I am a homeschooling mom of 9. We are in the process of adopting a special needs 7 year old girl from Ethiopia. She has several medical issues including a heart defect. We had a child who had a heart defect (she died at the age of 3 1/2) and we were made aware of this girl’s needs through some friends and felt the Lord calling us to bring her here. So my already busy life will be made much busier with the adjustment and medical needs of this new one. Of my 9 bio kids – 2 have graduated. One is living at home commuting to a local college. I teach 5 and have 2 preschoolers. I have a very busy life and appreciate the chance to win the meals!
Aren’t all moms extremely busy?!? I’m busy with my four kids, all under 7, one of which has a severe disability. And it seems like the time in the kitchen trying to get dinner ready is the worst! Crossing my fingers!
My sister-in-law is the busiest mom I know. She juggles 3 children that are ages 5,3 and 7 months. Plus she is always doing things for other people. She doesn’t complain, she just steps in and helps out. These meals would be a great help to make her life a little easier.
I’m a busy mom and my DH is out of town for work 75% of the time so I get to play mama and dada. To top that off I have a DD that doesn’t like to sleep (too bad I do)!
I am a stay-at-home mom to 3 kids – 5, 3, and 2months. I love my job, but it keeps me busy – like all stay-at-home moms, there is the daily to-do of keeping our house a home – cleaning, cooking, laundry, etc. Helping my dairy farmer husband when he needs me – delivering lunch, running errands, etc (Thankfully I’ve only had to milk cows once when we first started using our new dairy, and then I was only really directing people and pushing the right buttons!). I homeschool my kids, and try to make time to enjoy them each day. Most days I am exhausted by the time they go to bed, but I wouldn’t trade this crazy-busy life for anything! It would be nice to know what dinner is atleast once a week!
I agree that all moms are busy moms! Between preschool, gymnastics, cooking, and cleaning it feels like I rarely have time to myself. My girls are almost 16 months apart and are now 3.5 and 2. It gets easier but busier!
Teenagers with lots of activities & work!
I think all moms are busy, and I know that there are many who are busier than me. But I feel like I am running in circles at times. I am the mother of two boys, 8 and 10. I am a wife, a nurse (work about 20+ hours per week). I am on the PTA, volunteer at church and then randomly do whatever else comes up. I feel like “sleeping in” disappeared forever ago, and wonder when it will return. Thanks for the giveaway.
I am a busy mom of 4, ranging in age from 13 to 1 1/2. I also help my friends with there children three to four times a week. We are going so many different directions! My children are happy to help with dinners most nights. On the nights that things are really crazy, it is sure nice to something in the freezer to just pop into the oven.
I LOOOVE being the busiest mom!! We have been blessed with 3 girls, ages 12 years, 8 years and 2 years. With all three going in 3 directions at the same time it gets really busy here. But isn’t that what makes life fun?!
Thank you for the contest. That will be an unbelievable blessing for one of us. If I win, I promise to share these meals with some other busy moms I know!!
Like other mothers, I juggle life with children yet try to find meanginful activities for myself. Our children are ages 5, 4 and 1 plus one more due at the end of the year. I love working as a RN but recently decided to focus on our young children.
I am a busy mom – I have two little ones, 3 and 1… and another on the way! Between taking care the house, husband, and kids, my days are filled. A free meal a week would be wonderful!
I agree that all moms are busy. I am a busy homeschooling mom to two beautiful kiddos. My husband travels, sometimes a lot, with his job, so I take care of the old homestead, kiddos, cat, puppy, and all the exciting things that come up while he’s gone. I love being hands on in my amazing church and truly love this life God gave me. I would definitely enjoy a little help at meal time with these great meals, so this would truly be a blessing for my home!!!
I don’t know that I am THE busiest mom in the world, but I certainly do keep busy! I have a 5 and 3 year old and am pregnant with number three. My husband works three jobs and I have two part time jobs and help out with another business and a ministry when I have time. I would love to win! We love Italian food and with the new baby on the way, I know it would be a huge help to have some easy to prepare food. Plus, our already small budget will be shrinking as we will be adding another little mouth to feed and my work load will have to diminish. Thanks for considering me.
I have beautiful girls of my own who are 6 & 8. I then teach pre-school and have 28 1 & 2 year olds between 2 classes. I am also the wedding coordinator for our church, chair the altar guild and serve on the PTAboard at mydaughter’s school. Add in soocer and 2 girl scout troops and meals for a year sounds awesome! Many hanks to Michael Angelos for theif gift and to the blogs who are helping to promote it! Blessings!
I don’t know of a mom out there who is not busy, especially with little ones around the house. Yes, I only have two little ones of my own, both boys, ages 5 and 1, but as a Kindergarten teacher, I take care of lots of other’s children day in and day out and treat them as my own. I also coach Under 6 Sports for soccer, teeball, and basketball. My husband and I also pastor a church, and to make ends meet due to high health insurance costs, he works 2 twenty four hour shifts each week as an EMT. I don’t know that I’m the busiest mom out there, but as much as I love teaching, caring for children all day can be draining and exhausting. These meals sure would come in handy for a family on the go always like ours, especially on nights my husband is working. Thanks so much!
I may not be the busiest, but it sure seems like it. Between keeping up with my 4 year old and my 16 year old i am always going somewhere. My husband works 12 hour shifts and he is on nights right now, so when I leave for work, he is coming home, when I come home he is leaving. I work 40 + hours a week. Most of the cleaning ,shopping, taking care of the kids, and what not is all on me. I ususally have our preschoolers at church at least one Sunday a month. My son is in youth , so he has several events he attends, here goes moms taxi…my mother does not drive so when she needs something I am there for her as well. I usually clip coupons and do the laundry after church on Sundays, this has become my addiction, but takes awhile. Once a week I write out my list and get everything together. Yeah, my life is chaotic but I love it. Oh, did I mention I am the only woman in my office and there are 25 guys. So Monday through Friday it seems as if I have even more kids…sorry to the guys out there but your a handful….
I’m very busy as I run my own business from home, am CEO of my house, and volunteer at my son’s school at least once a week. Would love some easy meals!
All moms are busy moms. I have 3 daughters. I am a Twin Mom, a Home School mom, a stay at home mom. I am the “family Chef”, the Family shopper, the Family finance director, the family maid, the family taxi… you name it. And it is ALL a blessing!
I am a busy mom of 2, wife to a hubby who works so hard I can’t bear to make him do anything at home except mow the yard, I volunteer at both of their schools, attend college 4 days a week, and am actively involved in my kids sports. I am a very busy mom!
I have a 3 year old and am expecting our second child. I also work full time and many times need something quick for dinner. This prize would be amazing for me and my family!
I am a very busy mom of 3 kiddos, a wife and we have an acre yard to take care of! It would be great to have some easy meals!
I feel as though I may be the world’s busiest mom with four children (ages 4, 2, and 10 month old twins). My husband is in graduate school and is not home much during the week. On Saturdays and sometimes on Sundays, I work 12.5 hours, to provide some income for our family, since my husband is not working during his graduate program. We are very involved with our church and hold responsibilities there, as well. When we are blessed with the opportunity, we try to visit family…which means 7 hour road trips with the 6 of us in a van (and no, we don’t watch movies on the road). It’s a busy life, but definitely rewarding…it is an honor and a privilege to have children and be blessed to raise them!
I work full time and have 2 busy teenagers. This would make dinner so much easier with my busy schedule.
I am a busy stay-at-home mom to a 2 1/2 year old and an 11 month old. My two ittle boys keep me busy and on my toes every day! My husband works long hours and travels a lot, so we are here alone many times and cooking dinner is hard sometimes. An easy meal once a week would be a life saver!
Yum–that would be good.
I am a mom to four children and work two part-time jobs. I do various therapoes with my autistic son and my husband is going to grad school. We could all use an easy night of a sit-down dinner once a week!!!!
I am a BUSY mom! I have 2 children of my own and also watch my 6 mth old niece 4 days a week. I also volunteer at school once a week and am also known as shuttle service most afternoons. Winning dinner for a year would be so awesome! It would ensure we could sit down as a family at least one night per week and have a meal together. Thanks!
I may not be the busiest in the world but I am busy enough for me. The husband always has some new hobby or activiy we need to try out. The teen daughter always has last minute emergencies. I spend alot of time trying to get the best at the best prices for the family. It sure would be great to have a little extra help with dinner.
I am a full time working mother of two children ages 4 and 6. I am married to a man who works in another state during the week only coming home on the weekends. I work very hard (as do all the other mothers) to make sure my kids are bathed, clothed and fed (no particular order) all the while making sure the chores are being done. In order to complete all these tasks I for go alot of sleep!
I have a 3 year old daughter, who seems to run the show, sometimes! An easy meal would be a blessing!
What a blessing to have a free meal each week! We are a family of 5 and sitting around the table for dinner is a priority for our family.
I am very busy with a 3 year old and a 9 month old. My husband works in a Country Club Resturant and is gone most all day and for dinner. I work a full time job and take the kids to daycare each day. Making all meals (breakfast normally we eat in the car), doing laundry, cleaning the house, paying bills, etc. seem to take up all my time. But I still manage to read stories, ride bikes, give baths, & watch Dora with my kids most nights. I would love to have this to make my nights just a little easier.
since i cook home cooked meals everynight 7days a week for my 2older children and my surprise baby of 2 and lets not forget about my grown man of a husband, winning this could possibly give me a much needed break once in a while. thanks so much for the opportunity.
I am a Mommy to two angel babies so I don’t qualify as the world’s busiest Mom, so that’s why I am entering for my Mom! She has always been a busy Mom. She worked nights at the hospital so she could be with us during the day. She is the most sacrificial woman I know, and the best Mother ever. I would love for her to be able to have meals for a year!
I am a full-time police officer/instructor and mom of 4 boys. My husband works opposite shift, so I live the life of a single mom. I also allowed my parents to move in, and dad has recovered from colon cancer and mom Krohn’s disease. Santa brought a Great Dane. We are called “the house that never sleeps” since someone is always up. I run (literally run them for 3 miles) police cadets twice a week, leaving the house by 4:30 am and gone for at least 13 hours. I believe in God having the priority in my life. I run the security for our church, teach Sunday school, and attend worship and Sunday school for myself, so I’m there on Sundays from about 8-1, and then on Wednesday nights for more Bible study. Dinner for me on a Wednesday night is usually a drive through on my way to church after leaving work (teaching police cadets how to stop cars). My family has bought these Michael Angelo’s meals in the past from Sam’s and really like them. The convenience of having a meal put together that everyone will eat is awesome.
I am blessed to be the mother of four sons and four daughters. I always wanted a big family. Having a big family comes with lots of laundry, many dishes to do, cutting coupons for all the groceries that must be bought, for all the cooking that has to be done, house cleaning is never ending and doctors appointments are many! While doing my daily stay at home chores and homeschooling a son, I care for my four year old son who was diagnosed with relapsed neuroblastoma cancer stage 4. with no cure. We are at oncology clinic for chemo, blood and platelet infusions, antibiotics lab draws etc many times a month. I also have a seven year old that was diagnosed with mental retardation and is borderline for autism, She has several melt downs a day (fits). I have a stressful busy life. I am grateful to have the best job in this world though! Im a mommy! Hug those children like theres no tomorrow. Someone somewhere lost their child today. I am told I will lose one of mine. Lets set aside time in our busy life and enjoy being a mommy. Its the most rewarding job in this world! 🙂
I’m a busy full-time working single mom of one 13 year old girl and one crazy troublemaking lovable 5 year old dog. My daughter keeps me busy with school, band, swim team, and various other activities, while the dog just keeps me plain busy (he wants a lot of attention). Added to that, just busy with church activities, chores, and always seem to be on the go. A weekly dinner would be wonderful! 🙂
I literally am too busy to even be writing in this blog to explain why I am so busy! LOL! I am a small business owner who juggles it all. I have 4 girls, 17,15,9, and 7. I run them to and from school, afterschool games, activities, and helping with homework. (I found that I am not smarter than a 3rd grader!). The weekends are filled with cleaning, laundry (feels like 100 loads), you moms know the drill. I am working on the business website as I am typing this (shhh. don’t tell). I am unfortunately hired on in this life as a jack of all trades and everyone needs me! Soccer tournaments are this week, a dress needs hemmed, orthodontic appointments, business meetings, Calgon…………….. Heck < I'm screaming "Michael Angelo's"……………………
I’m an attorney by day and an adjunct professor by night. By the time I get home some nights I really don’t have the energy to cook!
I do believe I am a very busy mom. I am a stay at home mother to four beautiful children. My husband and I are foster/adoptive parents. We have adopted our younger two ages 3 and 5. Our oldest is 9. We are waiting on the adoption of the very youngest who just turned one. 🙂 I also babysit for two little girls four days a week ages one 7 weeks. My husband works as a manger full time at the wonderful Wal-Mart in our town as well as part time as the Associate Pastor of our church. We are busy working with the Jr. High Kids at our church. They keep us on our toes. I also coordinate a MOPS group in our community. We keep a tight schedule and usually have to take two cars wherever we go to transport everyone. lol We make it work though and we absolutely love it!!
I too am a very busy Mom but honestly being the busiest Mom in the world is not a good thing. We have to find a healthy balance between busy time and family time. To receive a free meal once a week will help all Moms find the balance we need to enjoy the everyday things in life.
I’m so busy that I can’t think of anything charming or funny to say. 🙂 Have a great day everybody! I would love to win!
I am a busy mom to 4 beautiful girls…twins age 7, a 3 yr old and a 16 month old. During the day I juggle the everyday needs of the little girls and try maintain a somewhat orderly/clean household. After school is over, all havoc seems to break loose!!! The struggles of snacktime, homework, baths, making supper and not to mention being a referee to stopping the meltdowns/catfights!!! All while daddy is working late to support us financially. Mommy could sure use some help in the kitchen!! Thanks!!
I am the busiest mom with 3 boys. With cooking, cleaning, couponing, working part time and carting the boys here and there to church, games and other activities, sometimes there is no time to cook like I want. Winning these dinners would be a God-send! Thanks.
Where oh where shall I begin. Let’s see wife, mother, caretaker, full-time worker, full-time student, community volunteer, church committees, this board, that board, no time to be bored. Being a mom is a busy job…but there’s no better job I know of. Good luck everyone!
.-= Tomi´s last blog ..P.I.N.T. [Post-It Note Tuesday] =-.
I am a busy mom of 2 daughters (4 and 2) and a step-daugther (11). My step-daughter lives 2 hours away with her mother during the week, but is with us every weekend, school vacation and all summer. I teach full-time during the school year and do my best to balance my time between outside activities and quality time with my husband as well. I like to cook but can’t seem to make the time. These meals would help us sit down as a family for dinner more often.
While I am sure I am not the busiest mom ever, with a one year old, a 3 year old and another on the way I certainly understand how important good quick meals are! Thanks!
What mom isn’t busy?! My little crew of 3 boys and 2 girls, ages 20 mo.-13 keeps me hopping! I also like to throw three extra boys to the mix in the mornings before school. We have a ball around here, and I thoroughly enjoy my family and being a mom. Winning a weekly dinner would be a huge blessing to us as we are working our way out of debt. Any savings in the food area means more money to pay off debt!
.-= Kris´s last blog ..April Grocery Totals =-.
My wife is super busy as she does her best to balance being a wife, mom, and trying to take care of herself. I’m blessed to have her in our busy life.
I love quick meals! I have a baby and a 3 year old and recovering from stomach & back surgery so I have to go to physical therapy for 2 hours a week and I teach water aerobics so I feel like I am VERY busy! But my goal is to be the mom I know I can be after I get my back better and I don’t have to live on pain meds or in bed! I want to be a soccer mom!!!!
I am a super busy mom. I have a very active 3-year-old, I work full-time as a Professor of Public Speaking, while couponing and training for a 5K in a week! I would love an easy way to throw dinner together after a LOOOOONG day of teaching.
I am a busy mom. Since February of this year I have packed and moved our house twice once from AL to SC and then from SC to VA. The last time I did it on my own. My hubby and I have been married just over 4 years and we have a 3 year old a 2 year old a 9 month old who I still nurse and I am pregnant again. I am potty training the oldest right now and changing plenty of diapers with the other two. We also cloth diaper which makes it even funner. lol To top it off my husband who was in the Navy is now a trucker. So on top of nursing and chasing kids and make meals as nutritious and quickly as possible I have to keep the house ready for him to come or go very quickly. A break from the hectic life I love by having a frozen prepared meal would be awesome. Thanks.
Busy mom of 2 boys who play basketball, baseball and football. Husband works till 8:30pm and I work full time. Leaves me to tend to after school things, sports, dr. visits and still get dinner on the table. We don’t eat out much due to trying to stick to a budget.
We are living on only one income for the last 2 years since I lost my job. It would be wonderful to be able to enjoy the good food of Michael Angelo’s Gourmet meals. I’ve been blessed to have a husband that supports me and I enjoy cooking good healthy food for him.
I am the busiest mom because besides the usual cleaning, cooking, and nurturing, I also homeschool my two children, ages 8 and 9, one who has disabilities. I am constantly on the phone trying to settle our insurance claims and medical bills. To strike the balance between overscheduling the kids and not keeping them in “isolation”, I take them to karate, gymnastics and educational field trips. Every day the house must be clean and presentable, as it is on the market in a very bad time to be on the market! I am the troop leader for ten Girl Scouts and am still trying to reconcile that cookie money from Girl Scout Cookie sales! Just when I thought I had found 30 quiet minutes in the morning to read the paper on the porch, two neighborhood cats have adopted me as their provider of food and attention. Help! I need a break.
I am nominating my wife Heather. She is just like all the other great mom’s out there, the glue that keeps this family together. We have 3 children 13, 3 & 1. Never is an appointment or meeting missed. The 13 year old plays AAU basketball so that schedule is crazy enough. Meals are always ready on time, clean clothes for all to wear & as tidy of a house as there can be with 2 toddlers & a teenager. For all she does I say I Love You!! & you are very deserving of this award.
I may not be THE busiest mom, but I do pretty well! I have two daughters, one just turned three and the other is almost one. I also teach part time. Busy, busy, busy! It would be great to have one evening a week when I would not need to worry about what to make for dinner!
I agree…what mom isn’t busy. I have 3 girls age 5, 3 and 19mo. 3 days a week we have to run to preschool. When we are not involved in Awana during the winter months, we now have t-ball in the spring/summer months. Add to that just normal running around with church, groceries and the like and it makes for a busy week. That doesn’t even include all of the things we are doing to get ready for the garden and canning, so we can reduce the amount of money we have to put out in groceries. And yes in addition I do also coupon…so winning this would be a huge help.
I have 2 teenagers and a toddler! Need I say more.
I am a busy, working mom of 2, a 13 month old daughter and nearly 10 year old son. I am also an Occupational therapist for a local home health agency and cover 8 counties. I just recently became the only OT to cover these areas for home health which has caused me to begin working long hours. In addition, we live about 20 miles from my work. It would be fabulous to have 1 meal a week that I didn’t have to think about and that would give me more time with my family. Thanks for this opportunity!
I am certainly not the busiest mom in the world, but it does feel like it some days. But with a 12, 10, 7, 5, and 1 year old I love to say that I am busy with my babies… and there is nothing else I would rather be busy with. I know that I will look back on these years with great joy and I would do it all over again in an instant. Even with the sadness of the loss of our infant son 18 mos ago, being a mother is the best thing I have done in my life. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. We homeschool the kids and are kept very busy with soccer, church activities and just having fun together… winning some meals would give us even more time to enjoy each other and not have to worry about preparing a meal on those nights… What a gift that would be:)
I am a busy mother of four, two of my children are married, the other two live at home. My daughter is in all sports,an one of my married sons have triplets(112 yrs} plus a 4 yr old, I go and help them out when I have some free time. Winning a free meal for one night of the week will be a huge help.
I work full time as a professor and have 12 year old twin daughters. I also am a active volunteer. Fold in yard work, grocery shopping/errands, cooking and cleaning and I am one busy woman!
I am entering for my best friend Sarah. Sarah is a 24 year old single mother of two boys Noah(4) and Jacob (turns 3 on Sunday!). She raises the boys and provides for them on her own. The dad is not invovled in their life really, I mean he’s there, but he doesn’t have a job, lives with his parents, and has no purpose. It’s really sad. But Sarah loves her boys and takes care of them and works 40 hours per week as a Pharmacy Techinician for Walgreens and then also works two 8 hour shifts per week (on her days off) for a smaller, privately owned pharmacy to make extra money. This free meal award would SO help her out! I would love to be able to present her with it for monther’s day. THANKS!
I am a homeschooling mom…2 in school, 1 potty training toddler and 1 special needs baby. I feel like I’m drowning most of the time just trying to maintain! I love to cook but the time to do much of it is extremely hard to find 🙂
Busy mom wtih 5 kids in the house. I work until it’s time for the youngest to get out school. He has autism so I am home with him in the afternoon. Our 13 yr old is now trying out for cheerleading to she has practice everyday this week. One 15 yr old is in ROTC so he has activities afterschool and is doing yard work for neighbors to make his own money. Some nights, it’s a struggle to get dinner on the table. But I love my life.
I have a 4-yr-old son who is VERY active. He has preshool 3 mornings a week which provides me with my only break from stay-at-home mom. I try to clean and run errands when he’s at preschool on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. On Thursdays, I have a Bible study when he’s at school. We have playdate every Thursday, soccer Tuesdays & Saturdays, church on Sundays and Wednesdays, pilates on Tuesdays & Thursdays, plus t-ball starts next week before soccer even ends! And people try to say being a stay-at-home mom is easy! haha
I am a mom of two who works full time to support my family (my husband was laid off a year ago). While also working full time as a mom and wife trying to be a super hero and take care of everyone, get dinner on the table, keep my house semi clean. 🙂 I have just been crazy busy this last year with work, having a baby and raising a 3 year old and could use some help with dinner so I have more time to spend with my family.
I think all moms are busy moms, but I feel like I’m especially busy in this time of my childrens’ lives. I have a 4 year old who is in preschool and I am the room parent in his class. He also does t-ball and that is always fun to tote him to practice and games in the rain. My daughter is 2 and involved in gym class a the Y. I also teach the toddler class at church and somehow get a workout in every day. My husband is an amazing dad, but right now he is in school to get his his masters on top of having a full-time job. We are a busy family! But, we always find time to sit down to dinner together to reconnect!
We have two 3 year olds and one 2 year old. I work full time as a programmer for a major company and my husband has his own CPA firm and is also the Assoc Pastor of our church. We are super busy and would greatly appreciate the chance to have one dinner a week prepared for us! Thanks!
.-= Holly F´s last blog ..Asthma update and frog sighting =-.
I may be a “stay-at-home momâ€, but by far I have one of the busiest jobs out there. I am married with four wonderful children ranging from age 1 to 14. On a normal day I get up at 6am to get 3 of my kids off to school. All 3 of them go to 3 different schools which start and end at different times. When I am finally done feeding them and getting them to school I have to get my grocery shopping, laundry, cleaning, doctor appointments.etc all done before noon so that I can pick up my 4 yr old from school. I always have my 1 yr old in tow since she is not in daycare. I get home at lunch time, feed my 1yr old and 4yr old lunch, then put them down for naps. While they are napping, I finish any cleaning and laundry that still needs to be done and make any calls that I need to since this is the one time during the day that it is actually quiet in my house. I wake them both at 2pm to go pick up my 5yr old from school. And believe it or not, he actually has homework. We come home and do his homework while I try to get things ready for dinner. I have to start early since I have to pick up my 14 yr old from school at 4:45. So then after I pick up my 14 yr old (and give rides home for his friends that seem to have missing parents), we come back home to finish dinner and eat before we have to leave AGAIN to go to a Scout meeting, FFA Meeting, AFJROTC meeting, soccer practice, or whatever fun activities the schools might be having a the time. This week it is 4 scout functions every evening except yesterday and a school board meeting that we are trying to squeeze in on Thursday. I also volunteer at our church and at the schools whenever I can. Most of the time I have to take ALL of my kids with me to everything if it is after school since my husband doesn’t get home until after 7pm. It gets very hectic sometimes with the screaming, fighting, whining, dirty diapers, and scrapes in between all the other things. When we are finally all home around 8pm, I have to read to my 3 little ones every night. They never let me get away without reading to them and praying before we turn out the light. Finally, when they are done with asking for drinks and going to the bathroom, the house is quiet. I clean up the kitchen from dinner and usually use some of the quiet time to sit and talk with my husband about his day while I clip coupons and fill out forms from school. Around 11pm after spending time with my husband,who is also exhausted from his long day, I finally go to my room to pray. I thank God everyday for my husband and my kids. I love them all so much, and I would not change “jobs†for anything. Most of the time I fall asleep before I am finished praying. This is my normal weekday…the weekends are just as busy. I won’t get started on that though. If I could just have 1 dinner a week that is easy to make and doesn’t make the big mess that a home cooked dinner makes, it would at least give me one evening a week to spend playing instead of cooking and cleaning. I would be so grateful for having a relaxing evening once a week for a year. It would save me 2 hours a week for 52 weeks. That would give me an extra 104 hours of quality time with the ones I love most!! How awesome that would be!!
I have been busy planning my soon-to-be 3-year-old’s birthday party. I am attempting to make him a 3D Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cake. I have to get the house clean for his party and keep my 10-month-old baby girl out of trouble. She’s already trying to walk! My husband’s salary was cut by 20% so I am always looking for great deals on groceries. Having a meal a week taken care of would be great!
I am INSANELY busy esp this week. I have a MIL’s, and Nieces birthday this week, I had Jury duty yesterday and was choosen to be on a trial. It was a LONG exhausting day so when I got home the last thing I wanted to deal with was dinner. Then today I had to go back and let me tell you it is EXHAUSTING being on a jury. Plus I have an 18 month old who is quite the Mama’s boy and had a VERY hard time being away from me for so long. I am tired and need quick delicious meals. Please Pick me to win. Thank you
I feel like the busiest mom along with everyone else. It’s a full tie job all by itself. I have a hyperactive 3 year old son and a 7 month old son. Also a husband fits in there somewhere because lets face it we have to take care of them too!! With all the errands we have to do on a daily basis who has time to slave over a gourmet dinner and spend “family” time when everyone is home all together. This dinner one night a week would mean so much for all of us. One less worry!!!!
I want to win this for my pastor’s wife, Jeanne N., who has spent way too much time this year cooking meals for teams repairing flood damaged homes in Atlanta. On top of this, she’s been caring for her family, supporting all church activities and home schooling her daughter with disabilities!
I am a mom of 2 boys and the third boy will be arriving early July. My kids are all 15 months apart and keep me on my feet. i have a 2 year old and a 1 year old. My husband works 2 jobs, 1 full time and 1 part time, so I usually fly solo most nights. I do all of the cleaning, cooking, running errands, ect. My kids hate it when I am making dinner and having these meals would make my life much easier for a year! Winning this would be such a huge blessing so thank you so much!
My e-mail address says it all. I am a mother of four children; however, to help make ends meet while my children are in college, I do child care in my home. I have seen my oldest graduate from college and two other children will be graduating this month. They have all been homeschooled and am in the process of finishing up with my last child who will graduate next year. It will be nice when she gets her license–no more taxi driver; however, I enjoy the talks that we have together. My day begins at 5:30 a.m. getting my husband and daughter out the door with good breakfasts and lunches. My two two-year olds arrive around 7:00 a.m. and do not leave until 5:00 p.m. I also have another two year old that comes for a couple of hours aday with two others who come in one a week. They keep me busy with diapers and potty training. I am in the midst of planning an open house for my two graduates as well as planning for a wedding. I am also on the board of a homeschoold group of 100+ families, planning the senior graduation reception, and comtemplating being the senior mom for the class of 2011. It would be nice to come home from shopping for the wedding and just pop in a dinner and fix a salad.
I think all mom’s are busy, and for me to toot my own horn just isn’t something I’m comfortable doing. However, I will simply say that if the Lord wants me to win some free dinners, He’ll see to it. Thanks for the opportunity to enter the contest. Good Luck to all the moms out there and Happy Mother’s Day.
I am a busy mom of two children under 5. My son has severe food allergies which keep us going to doctors offices that are 1-2 hours away atleast 3 times a month. My son is very active in school and sports which keep me running to sporting events every night of the week and sat. mornings. I am also very involved in his school and the community. In between all of this I take care of our home, my mother and then cook dinner!!
I am a stay at home mom taking care of my four kids, ages 7 down to 1. I am homeschooling my oldest two, which keep me hopping. We are involed in regular stuff, like baseball and church, but try to spend a lot of time together as a family. I try to cook most of our meals from scratch, but some help with supper once a week would be amazing! Thanks!!
My Mom is absolutely amazing! She has raised three (wonderful) kids, and is helping raise her granddaughter. It’s fabulous to have such a strong woman as a role model. I Love Her!!
I am a stay at home mom with 2 sons! work from home also and manage about 100 consultants on my team daily
I want to nominate my twin sister, Erica, for this award. She is completely awesome, but she definitely has her hands full. She is a mother to four little boys, aged 6, 4 and twins that are 20 months old. I don’t know how she does it, because everytime we’re talking on the phone, all I can hear in the background is little kids yelling and laughing and crying. Sometimes I can hardly understand what she’s saying because of her little, loud blessings. Her husband finished medical school almost two years ago, and immediately entered the Navy to help out there. He went to Afganistan about 6 months ago and just got home last week. We’re so happy he’s safe and sound. While he was gone, Erica had all the raising of their family to herself and I was amazed at what a great job she did. I know I couldn’t have come out the other end as well as she did. Now that her husband is home, she deserves a break. It would be wonderful for her to win so that they can spend more time together with the kids instead of worrying about what to cook for dinner. We’ve had several discussions about cooking and dinner time always sneaks up on her and then at the last minute she tries to throw something together. 🙂 My sister is an inspiration and it would be great for her to get this award so that she knows it!
My life is ruled by three children who play soccer. We have at least one practice every day, but usually two and sometimes three, then we have games on Saturdays and Sundays. I used to enjoy cooking, because feeding my family healthy food is important, but now just dont have time to accomplish that.
I am a stay at home mom with two boys. We are busy with sports and other activities. But I think sitting down together as a family for dinner is very important. I would love to win the coupons.
I have a 13 month old who just started walking, and she keeps me on my toes! I am a singer and often have evening rehearsals and performances. My husband is a high school band director, so we are lucky if we have any weeknights together! Dinner is often fast…this would be awesome and they are very good considering they are a frozen meal!
I would like to nominate my sister who is a busy single mom of 4 young kids, kinder teacher and wonderful sis. She is only 90 pounds because of all the stress of her messy divorce and no child support for over a year. Mounting lawyer bills and the list goes on!!! She could use this and I would love to win it for her! Thanks Amy
All moms are busy- that’s correct. I have 2 sons, 10 and 12 that both play on traveling sports team. The 12 yr old plays baseball and his schedule is everynight from Jan-July. The 10 yr old plays Lacrosse and his schedule isn’t so intense. But, there is something everynight of the week for us. My friends say I disappear for 7 months. Usually we have more than 1 commitment a night with school activities and “what-not.” I work 2 part-time jobs so I can be home after school for the kids. It’s insane. It would be so wonderful to have one meal a week taken care of. We don’t do fast food during the week because I know we’ll be eating it on the weekends-in between ball games.
I am definitely one of the busiest people I know! I have two girls, ages 2 and 10 mos, and they keep me busy. My husband works two jobs – he’s a youth minister and works at UPS – and I try to help him as best I can while trying to keep our home running smoothly as well! I am not very good in the kitchen (that’s an understatement) but I have been trying this year to provide meals for my family instead of ordering out. Winning this giveaway would really mean a lot! Thanks!
I feel like the busiest mom since I don’t have a grasp on my life yet, nor am I organized enough to handle everything that I keep piling on! I say yes to everyone and everything and only say no to me. Thus, having meals planned out for me ar quick prep meals allows me the opportunity to have control over one area of my life.
I know we are all busy moms including myself.I am a single mom and work a full time job. it will be nice to take a break from cooking dinner to just spend time with em
I love being a mom and wife of a pastor but it does keep us crazy busy. We only have two biological children but we have 700 “sheep” (our church folks) to care for. I would love to be able to have these meals for my busy family or to share with those in need. What a blessings that would be.
All mom’s are busy! It’s unbelievable! I will never complain, though. We went through 4 years of infertility treatments and got our little girl. She’s now 7 and lives life to the fullest! There’s never a dull moment at our house! She is such a blessing and I am thankful each and every day. I am a high school teacher, so I am “mother” to many other young people. I voluntarily sponsor the Fellowship of Christian Athletes at my school. We are an extremely active organization, but I don’t regret a single minute that I spend influencing the lives of those boys and girls. Winning a year’s supply of Michael Angelo’s meals would make my life a little less stressful and give me 1 less thing to worry about each day!
Phew! I think I am the busiest mom. I am so busy, I can’t even begin to tell you how much I am doing because I don’t have the time! 🙂 Seriously, work, kids, pets…
I am a single mother of two boys ages 8 and 11, work full time nights as a RN and enjoy all the extracurricular activities that come with having boys who love sports. I stay very busy and love it. Would love to win!
My husband works out of town and I also work a very demanding job. This prize would be wonderful as it would allow me to still make a yummy meal even when I work late. Thanks!
I am the mother of a 4 month old and absolutely LOVE being a mom! I know that all moms are busy all of the time but we are all also so very blessed to have our little ones! We went through four rounds of fertility treatments before we were blessed with our son. At 6 months pregnant we found out that he would be born with a cleft lip. Since birth we have been busy going back and forth between specialist appointments and just underwent his first surgery. We are a military family, so aside from my son’s surgery and recovery we are also juggling moving due to relocation to a new base! To keep everyone on their toes I decided to add a little more to our plate and open my own private mental health practice. Having Michael Angelo’s meals would help with those busy nites when mom is rushing home from work to fix dinner and dad is on duty!
I think ALL moms are busy!! I have 3 children 24,17 and 13. I have done the soccer, baseball, football, dance, boy and girl scouts, and dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, rabbits, geese, pigions, birds, turtles, snakes etc. by myself. The taxi service ,3 children, and household chores inside and out by myself. It doesn’t get any easier because I am still so busy! A break in cooking would be a blessing!
my mom deserves to win! She often forgets about herself and she sacrifices a lot for us. Love her.
I am a single mom with a beautiful seven year old daughter that is going to school full time to get my degree to be an RN and working 32 hours a week at a hospital so that I can try to pay my bills. By the time I get home at night I am way too tired to cook let alone study and family time is scarce but precious. Can’t wait until I’m done and we can eat healthy meals again.
I am the busy stay at home mom of a two year old. He is extremely active. We have four cats too. I was blessed with our baby boy July 2008. I have PCOS and went thru fertility treatments before I was able to get pregnant. I may not be the busiest mom out there but I am a blessed mom. We are now looking to have another baby.

I am a busy momma of a wild 8 month old and a woolly 3 year old. My 8 month old is crawling all over the house trying to keep up with his older brother. My patience is being tested to the limit while my 3 year old son tries to work through some jeaulousy/sibling rivalry issues. I am also the Director of a Preschool with 35 students and 6 teachers. I am often called upon to administer a little “mothering” to both children, teachers AND parents. It sometimes feels like I never get to take my “Mommy Hat” off.
I am a busy full time working mom. I have a two year old who goes to my office with me everyday. It is usually late when we get home and we are both exhausted! A meal a week for a year would be great for us. What better than a ready meal so we can enjoy fun family time and not have to worry about supper every once in a while! I would LOVE to win this!!!
My mom is the busiest mom. She works a full time job and sells real estate part time. She is also raising my high school brother. She also volunteers for a nearby crisis center.
I work full time as a middle school teacher then come home to take care of my children and husband as well as coupon (which we all know takes a lot of time). It’s like I have three full time jobs! It is hard but God has given me each blessing and I am grateful for them all!
I am a busy mom like so many others. I have one daughter at home, a hungry husband and I work part time. I would love to have Michael Angelo’s cook dinner for my family for a year!
I am the mom of the best 2 year old and wife to a fantastic husband. I work in the Media Center of a school so I am constantly in need by everyone to fix things and get things for them- which I love to do! I go into Mommy mode when I get home as my husband works evenings and the housework, dinner, and nighttime routine are up to me. I get a few minutes to myself before finishing the rest of our everyday duties. I would love one night off to have a wonderfully cooked meal each week! Yum!
I’m sure there are busier moms than I am, but we’re all busy, aren’t we? I am a wife & mother of 2 teenagers. I do all the traditional things for our family, like cooking, cleaning, laundry, running kids on errands, etc. In addition to this I am a minister’s wife, who opens our home for Bible studies & gatherings. I also work outside our home, cleaning 17 houses for others & 1 school auditorium. Whew….I don’t like to think about all this at once. I usually just take one day at a time & know what needs to be accomplished that day. I’m not complaining, though. We are so blessed and have a good life. Anyway, one meal covered for the week would be an added blessing.
I am the busiest mom because not only am I a mom to my 2 children, I am a stand in mom to 108 teenagers during the day. So in addition to dressing, feeding, bathing, and carpooling my children, I have to prepare meaningful teaching for all of the rest of my kids. With a 1 hour, 1 way commute every day, this isn’t easy! I can’t tell you how nice it would be to have an entire year’s worth of quick and easy meals at my fingertips!
I am a busy stay at home mom of two boys! With house work and trying to keep up with the boys, sometimes by dinner time i am exhausted! It would be awesome to have a delicious easy meal waiting for us without all the hassle!!
I am a busy mom of three beautiful little girls. My oldest daughter swims on a swim team and goes to practive 2 days each week. My middle daughter takes gymnastics and has practice 2 days a week, as well. I am so thankful that I am able to stay at home with my youngest daughter that is a little older than 2. The two older girls are also in a girl scout troop. During the week, we attend Church on Wednesday night after swim practice. Then on Sunday we attend church in the morning as well as the evening for Choir and Bible Zone, which I teach. I am the director for our VBS this year, which adds to the chaos. I am so lucky to have a wonderful husband who helps out in between all of his volunteer activities and working full time. I LOVE my life and would not change anything in it…but it sure would be nice to worry about one less dinner a week next year.
I am one of the busiest moms. With a full time job and 3 teen age sons I am always busy. Throw in their busy social life and baseball practice and games I as always going. My weekends are spent at games all day. Its hard to find any “me” time it is a rare treat when I can take a bubble bath and just relax. needless to say dinners are always rushed and in shifts as the boys get home from their day
I am a busy stay at home mom of 4 children. We homeschool the oldest 2 which in its self is a full time job. We also have a preschooler and an infant. My days are usually spent just running from one thing to the next…schooling, laundry, cleaning, ect. What a relief to have a break from cooking!!
I nominate my sister in law, Molly, who I think is the world’s busiest mom. She has 5 girls between the ages of 4 and 12. They are all involved in dance classes, music lessons, church and church activities, etc. I don’t know how she does it. I know she would be so grateful for a night off from cooking once a week. And she would feel good knowing that it’s healthier than most frozen entrees.
I am an older mom of a *very* active 3 year old boy, and I am expecting our second child this October. I am on the go from sunrise to sunset, and find it hard to always get meals together for my family. My husband works long hours so it’s usually just me and my son. I would *love* to have some coupons for these awesome meals!
I am a busy mom. I have three kids with endless activities and teach full time in a special education classroom. I am also going to school part time to get my Masters in Special Education. I get up at 4:30 and go to bed when everything gets done. Every day is an adventure!!
I am a busy mom of 4. I work fulltime at a paying job and then come home to my most rewarding job as a mother and wife. I also support on a volunteer basis my husband’s Family support group for the army. Between dance and horseback, as well as supporting my troops in afghanistan, I could use a break from cooking! Thanks
Well, I think ALL moms stay pretty busy! I have 2 little ones who run me pretty wild. Just found out there’s another on the way! It would be great to not have to think about dinner with a new baby!
We are extremely busy this time of year because it’s baseball/softball season and I have 4 kids playing 2 games every week so we have 8 games every week. So every night during dinnertime we have games, so it sure would be nice to have dinner all ready planned out and ready to go!
I stay very busy with a home health and clinic position.
I keep busy homeschooling my three kiddos, trying to keep up with housework, teaching classes on the side…I’d love some ready-made lasagne!!!
Hi! I have two little boys under 4, two dogs, a bird and two fish! My hubbie works a ton to support us, but that leaves me with very little *free* time to do things I love, like cook nutritious meals. Please pick me! It would make life so much easier for us all!
I am a busy mom of an adorable three year old daughter. I don’t say that I am a Stay At Home Mom I say that I am an On the Go Mom! We hit the gym, attend story time at the library, have multpile planned weekly and monthly playdates and a “school” program! I also, of course have to keep the hosue clean and kept up even though my hubby and 8 year old Lab try their best to undo my efforts! I love my life but it IS a busy one!!
I’m surely not the busiest mom out there, but I’m plenty busy with two boys, and my home-based business. Michael Angelo’s delicious dinners every week for a year would be a real treat!
I don’t know if I can claim the “busiest” mom, but I sure am busy. I have 2 wonderful boys (6 & 9) whom I homeschool. In between our lessons, I am also a homebirth midwife and hold prenatal & postpartum visits. I am on call 24/7 and have to leave at the drop of a hat to a birth. My children take it in stride, but there are several things they have missed as I run out the door (birthday parties, playdates, etc). I would love to win, so I can at least guarantee 1 good meal at home each week.
I am a Newborn Nursery nurse, I have 2 kids. One of the things I do daily is teach new mothers how to care for their newborn. This includes breast feeding, teaching mother how important to eat a well balanced diet to become the best mom she can be. When I get off I then see to my 8 year old and 4 year old have a good dinner before heading to ball games.
I am so busy!! I work several nights a week at my nursing job, take care of my 2 girls, my elderly mother, husband, 2 dogs, plus volunteer for pug rescue several days a week.
I need and LOVE Michaelangelo’s meals!!!
I commute approximately 4 hours a day to and from my job (2 hours each way depending upon traffic). I am up early and go to bed late taking care of my family. This entails so many things that it would take forever to list them out. Free dinner for a year would not only save some time, but it would assist with our financial burdens. Like many other families, ours has been affected by the downturn of the economy. Having a coupon for a free meal each week would be such a blessing for my family.
I’m the busiest mom because not only am I Mom to a 14 year old son and a 10 year old daughter, but I’m also “Mom” to 23 second graders!
I am not only a busy Mom and nurse but I am a busy Grandma of 2 adorable kids, 3 and 1 and a half. Their Mom and Dad moved in with me so they could both go back to school. I do love snuggling with little ones again.
I am very busy like all moms. I have three kids 11,4,3 . I teach my 3 & 4 year old along with my 4 yr old niece 5 days a week in a preaschool schedule & activities. I also work partime in my church nursery 3 nights a week and lead KidStyle worship on Sun morning to the preschoolers. I worl on some weekends with a catering company. This all keeps me busy along with bible study group, household chores and my sons activities. My husband works alot of hours so mosy household duties and organizing the family lies on my shoulders. I would love to win a giveaway like this.. Every littlebit helps. Thanks for the chance
So many busy people! I too, often feel just overwhelmed, yet thankful to stay so busy. Mom of 2, working 2+ jobs, but trying to keep home as “normal” as possible, including sitting down together to eat something quick, nutritious, and filling. These frozen meals are the best and everyone enjoys them. What a blessing this contest will be to someone!
I am a busy mom just like all the other busy moms out there! Busy, busy, busy working full time and taking care of a three year old and a five year old. Kuddos to all those busy moms out there! hang in there and continue to be wonderful moms, your kiddos love you!
I am a busy Mom! With an almost 2 year old daughter, who is always trying to take over the world, I rarely have time to use the restroom. lol! I try to provide yummy healthy meals for our family, but spending hours in the kitchen is impossible, so most of the time my healthy meals are not so yummy. This would be so nice to win!
I am a busy grandmother! Loving after 4 grandkids and my wonderful husband. It takes a lot out of me with all the love I try to give out.
I believe I am the busiest mom because I have three kids 5, 4 and 1. I home school all my children plus I also home school another child who is 2. If that weren’t enough as it is, my husband is a youth pastor so we have over 30 youth the we keep in check on a daily basis! Our house is always busy but always full of love!!!
Life is always busy with twin middle school children and a husband that is on call every night but a new twist was added a few weeks ago. My husband was diagnosed with cancer and while I’m still a busy mom I’m finding out that being an intentional mom who slows down and takes care of her husband and children is everything.
My Sister is a very busy mom! She has two boys 13 and 6! They both play baseball. So therefore she is at the ball field every night except wed between there games and practice. She is also the team mom for both teams. So with there extra activities, house cleaning, kids homework, cooking dinner, work, etc. she is a very busy mom! The frozen meals are very delious and would work well with the late nights @ the baseball field!
Im the busiest mother because I have two boys 6 &8 and I am going to school to become a teacher, and I run half of my husbands woodworking business. I have to usher boys to sport and church, file tax reports for business and maintain a high GPA
I am a very busy mom! I take care of my two year old daughter by myself because my husband is constantly working and is on call 2-4-7 and I also work a part time job 3 days a week and dont get home til 7 pm. Sometimes there isnt any time left to cook dinner and having a dinner made for you one day a week would really help out.
I am a busy mother of 3, a 9 yr old, 2 1/2 yr pld, and a 7 month old. We are a 1 car family and I need the car everyday, so when my husband has work errands to run I have to load up the kids and go take him on his errands. I also have my kids I am constantly running after and taking places, when the 9 yrs old gets home I have to help him with his homework, also have to play with the 2 yr old and feed the 7 month old. I also have to run my own errands, clean house, cook dinner, do laundry, bath the children, get them to bed cut coupons, and spend time with my husband. I get up before everyone and go to sleep after them. Your condsideration is appreciated. Thank you!
I think all moms are busy, including me. I have three beautiful daughters 8, 3 and 1. I work full time out of the house and am a graduate student working towards my MBA. I am active in my church. We are a proud military family and my husband just left last month for a 6 month deployment. Shortly after that I took in my niece, 22, to help her fight a drug addiction and give her hope for a brighter future.
I am entering for my daughter. She is a busy young mother with two beautiful daughters ages 5 and 15 months. She also does in-home day care. She is totally devoted to her family. She is going to start home schooling soon and will be even busier! I know she would love to not have to worry about what to cook every night!
I am a very busy Mom. I am a first year medical student with an academic requirement of over 30 hours per semester. I have four children 7,9,11,and 13. My children are actively involved in multiple baseball teams and dance practices. In addition to their extracurricular activities I have all the other resposibilities of school projects and regular assignments. Then there is the beloved never ending house cleaning, dinners, and bill paying. The free dinners would make supper time so much easier for an entire year. On top of mother and medical student responsibilities, I am required to do community service hours. My life is very full but I am blessed to be living a dream.
Busy, busy, busy is me! Mom of 2 kids, ages 9 and 11. I work full-time at a preschool that serves children with developmental delays..then I work afterschool helping out more kiddos. When I get home…there’s homework, housework, and laundry to do. Not to mention ball practice and games 4X a week and a workout with hubby here and there. EEEEEK! Did we even eat yet!?!? Would love to win these marvelous frozen meals. Would make my life less hectic, at least for a year!
I am truly a busy mother of 4 children, a 17 year old, 13 year old, 6 year old and a 5 year old. I work a full time job every day, I go to volly ball practive with my 13 yer old daughter. My 6 & 5 Year old is in karate and football practice 3 times a week. I am constantly running errands for my husband whom I have been married to for 16 years. I am constantly cleaning, cooking dinner and washing clothes, making sure that clothes are ready for school and homework is completed. Read bedtime stories are my favorite and after winding down I take a long hot bath. I get up first thing in the morning to make sure breakfast is done so my family have a well balanced meal before work and school. I would greatly appreciate your consideration in granting me the meals fo a year. The Hood family thanks you in advance.
I opened a non-profit organization 9 years ago where we give about $600.00 to each of our 9 public schools each month. I am extremely busy with that plus I have a college med student & a senior in high school which is salutatorian of his class & we have just finalized our adoption this week of our kindergartener which we have had for 3 1/2 year. Boy, does he keep us busy.. I need more hours in a day……like every other parent in the world…But wouldn’t trade our kids in for anything….
I am not the world’s busiest mom, but it can be hard to remember that some days. 😉 I am a homeschooling, SAHM to a gifted 15YO boy, and a wonderful 12YO boy with multiple medical and developmental needs. Mine is a 24/7 job that I love, but it definitely keeps me more than busy. Having one night a week when dinner was a given would be an amazing gift. And as a vegetarian family, it is hard to find prepared, family-size meals. Michael Angelo’s is one of the few companies that provides this option. 🙂
I am the busiest because I am sandwiched between the needs of my ill father, my children, my husband, and my granddaughter, not to mention my part-time job and running my house. I handle it all like a juggler, but, wow, I am so busy! Oh…and my foster kittens.
Ok, let me discribe my “normal” day. After getting maybe 4 hrs of sleep, I get two kids (a 1 yr old and 4 yr old) out of bed. They both need to be changed and feed. I also have to get the husband ready for work. After husband leaves, my real day starts. I work on my blog, answer over 100 emails, chase two kids, try to get one to use the potty, make them lunch, do a load or 8 of laundry, load the dishwasher, take the dog out, chase the kids again, make phone calls to practice law, sit down (for a minute) and clip coupons for my tri-weekly shopping trip, take dog out AGAIN, chase 4 yr old and tell him to stop hitting his brother, go to atleast one store, chase 4 yr old around store, deal with angry cashier and customers behind me because I am using coupons, manage to get home again with almost all of my hair still on my head, somehow manage to cook dinner, feed kids, bath kids, feed husband when he gets home, take dog out again, answer more emails, put kids to bed, put Husband to bed, take dog out again, sit down and finally breath!!!
Thats a normal day!!! Sometimes its ALOT more hectic.

I have got to be one of the busiest Mom’s there is. I am a single male living on my own. My Mother passed away in 2008 and I really miss the great meals she would cook for me. Because I have no wife and my Mother has gone on, I have to fend for myself. Every day I have to cook, clean, pick out my own clothes to wear, make my own bed, do my own dishes, vacuum, dust, and the list goes on and on. At least once a week I have to wash, dry, and fold my clothes. I also have to take out the trash, mow the lawn, weed the garden, clean up after the dog, wash the car, etc…and all of this has to be done while holding down a full time job. I will also be going back to school in August on a full time basis.
I guess the one good thing is that I have no kids of my own. That doesn’t mean these free meals would go to waste. I have over 30 nieces and nephews that would love to help devour these. By allowing me to win this contest you would be helping 7 other Mom’s out there. Those would be my Sisters who deserve a break from cooking and their kids. They could meet at my house one day a week for an easily prepared but delicious meal!
I am a full time working mother of 3 daughters, 14, 10 and 5. I try very hard to get the best deals on my groceries and providing nutritional meals each day for my family. My husband is a “stay-at-home-dad” and does a fantastic job at keeping the house running while I work as a nurse. But meal time still proves to be a huge undertaking for us both. Having these type of meals available would be a life saver on those nights when we are just too tired or busy to prepare a meal from scratch. Between driving the kids to and from all their extra activities, sometimes it just is not possible to have a full nutrional meal for them. Thanks for offering such a wonderful opportunity to one of many busy moms out there!
Busy homeschool mom of 3 precious little ones. Baseball, ballet, homeschool group, hosting friends for dinner, speech therapy twice a week, etc. Wouldn’t trade it for anything!!!!
I am super busy because my 16 month old is ALWAYS making a mess. She pulls socks out of her drawer just for the sake of it! So in addition to all the other “mommy things”, I am constantly cleaning up after her!

I see we have alot of busy mom’s all over the country! Keep up the good work you wonderful ladies! I know how hard it is! I was a single mom prior to April 8th, raising a 12 yr old and an autistic 16 year old! Boy these teenage years keep you going. I also am a fulltime nurse working in disease managment helping people all across the country with their chronic health conditions. I recently got remarried and my most wonderful thoughtful sweet little husband is back in Afghanistan 🙁 He has been gone since last August and was in Iraq the year previous to that. So, not only am I mom and nurse I have to be the man around the house while he is gone! I try, I really do and I am just pooped sometimes! Happy Mother’s day to all!
In order to be able to stay home with my sweet boy, I watch 3 other children each day while their mommies go to work. So, every day, for 10+ hours, I take care of 4 boys, all under 2.5 years old!! I love it & have a blast, but sometimes at the end of the day, I’m just too tired to get dinner on the table. My hubby is a good sport, but these meals would be a blessing!
I would love this have two busy little boys and a little girl due within the month!!
I am a mom to two girls, ages 5 and 2. I also work full-time outside the home and volunteer my time as a finance adviser for my college sorority. During my lunch hour, I am searching the internet for the best grocery and drugstore deals. Both of our girls are so much like me it is scary. The both want everything just right and have a hard time stepping back. My husband loves to grill, but these meals would be awesome!!
I am a busy mom of 3. I homeschool my children during the week & then work 12 hour shifts in the medical field on weekends. Sometimes cooking dinner can be a difficult task. Winning this would make life much easier.
I work from home doing closed captioning for television and keep my 14-month-old daughter. A lot of times my schedule is hectic, sometimes working as late as 7 or 7:30 p.m. Not straight but sometimes shows are grouped together based on peak hours. Anyway, a lot of times it’s difficult to get dinner made and the Michael Angelo’s would be great to have something to pop in the oven during a commercial break and then eat it when I’m finished working. 🙂
I’m busiest because my husband works looooooong hours and we homeschool. We’re always on the go and on to the next thing! I need anything and everything to make life easier. Thanks!! 🙂
I am the busiest because I am a teacher full time while getting my Masters and raising an 2 year old. My husband is a full time teacher, football coach, and baseball umpire. He’s a wonderful man, but I would give anything to not have to make dinner for everyone once a week!
Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms out there! I am definitely a busy mom as most in America today. I am the mother of two beautiful daughters: a 17 month old and a 6 1/2 year old. I am a registered nurse that works the night shift from 7p-7a four days a week and am also working as a part-time Census worker in between things. I take my older daughter to school after getting her ready when I get home from my shift and have her there for 9:00am and drop off my baby to my mom’s. I them come home to rest until 11:15 and head back to pick her up for 11:40 and then pick up my baby. I come home and do my cleaning, laundry, lunch, and if possible, take a one hour nap while the girls nap. Then we spend time together going to the park, reading, playing games, or doing crafts. I get dinner started, bathe them, and get them ready for the night, whether it’s taking them to my mom’s sometimes or for the evening until bedtime when my fiancee sets them down for bed. And back to work again! I am eager to be able to get a day shift position soon! It will be nice to get some sleep in at night! I also take my daughter for violin lessons every Tuesday and ice skating lessons on Wednesdays. We also attend church services throughout the week which is very important as a base to our family. Wow, I’m tired hearing these words myself…Good luck to all!
Of course ALL of us mommies are so busy, but I feel like I could really use these meals right now in our life. I have a very hard working husband and 4 sons…a 12 year old, an 11 year old, and 8 year old twins too! They all 4 are playing baseball right now so we are “living” at the ball park every night. Needless to say, we don’t eat many dinners at home right now. Thanks for the chance to enter this contest.
I’m mom to precious 11-year old triplets who love to eat and stay on the go. I also teach children with special needs at our local elementary school. Two of my children have ADHD. I love my children and students, but get very tired by time to cook. This prize would be a great blessing to our family. Thanks for hosting the contest!
MY WIFE IS THE BUSIEST MOM AROUND. BETWEEN WORKING FULL TIME, RAISING 3 OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, CRAZY AND WIDE OPEN CHILDREN AROUND, SHE STILL FINDS TIME TO TAKE THE KIDS TO TRACK, BASEBALL PRACTICE AND BALL GAMES. WHEN SHE GETS HOME IN THE EVENINGS SHE DOESNT GET TIME FOR HERSELF UNTIL ALL THE HOMEWORK AND BATHS ARE DONE. AFTER STORY TIME AND PRAYER TIME THE KIDS ARE FINALLY OFF TO BED. THAT LEAVES HER ONLY AROUND AN HOUR OR SO TO HERSELF TO “RELAX”. ALTHOUGH ITS NOT MUCH OF RELAXING MAKING SURE LUNCHES ARE PACKED FOR SCHOOL THE FOLLOWING DAY. SHE IS THE BEST AND BUSIEST MOM I KNOW.
I think I’m the busiest mom because not only do I still take care of my college aged children, but also my 42 special needs students each day at school. I make sure they have their homework, (sometimes they are forgetful), teach them to read, write, and problem solve, (sometimes they are embarassed by their disability), bribe them with ice cream, (sometimes they need something tangible to motivate themselves to try something that is difficult), and love them like they are my own children through the good and the bad. I arrive at school early to meet them for homework help and leave late after meeting with parents and completing endless amounts of paperwork. Having something quick and nutritious to cook each night would be a lifesaver for this hungry and tired mommy!
I am a foster parent to a 5 yr old cutie pie who has fetal alcohol syndrome who keeps me busy! I am also a full-time nanny to two boys.
Sandra is a special Mom that deserves a special break!!
I am a very busy mom with 2 children, a husband, a full-time job as a high school teacher, and I assist my husband as the youth pastor at our church. Whew! Thanks for giving us a chance to win this amazing prize!
Well, I don’t know if I’m THE busiest mom, but just being a mom qualifies everybody I think!!
My daughter really deserves to win this. She is so busy with her daughter and 2 step kids. She takes care of her sister’s two boys and of me, also. She spends her time planning and making healthy meals, educating and entertaining the kids and all the other household chores. She rarely has anytime for herself, so winning this would give her one less meal to plan and make each week and she could use the time for herself. She really deserves this yummy treat! Thanks Michael Angelo’s.
I hate to think that I am the “busiest” of all moms, but I can hold my own. I get a lot done around the house and love being home with my young daughter. We play, cook together, head to storytimes, etc. We are all busy mommies, but I would love this prize – and my husband just thinks that it sounds delicious!
I run the busy office for our family business. I am Mom to 2 kids- 10 & 8. They keep me hopping! It’s always something. I am also the PTA Vice President of Fundraising. I’m also a active member of our church. I am super busy!! If I won this contest it would really help us our financially. Thank you!
I am a busy mom. With 2 young children, a husband and three part time jobs, I am not the busiest mom in the world, but I sure feels that way some days.
I am a working mom of a 3 year old. I am very busy but I love every minute of it. I would not trade my job or my son for anything. This prize would be a welcome money, time, and sanity saver.
Hey, Whose not busy these days, between teaching my friends the art of couponing, sharing tips to save money, teaching my 15 year old to drive, volunteering at her high school. Softball games, getting up everyday at 4:30 to pack my husbands lunch and seeing him off to work, helping with my elderly moms numerous dr. visits. etc… WELCOME TO MY WORLD, We all deserve a break from preparing meal… May the best MOM win!!!!!!!!!!!!
My mom is always busy and could use a break.
I have 3 children, from 13 to 9, then to 1. The little keeps me from getting much done during the day/school hours. The other two keep busy with each having 2 baseball teams. We are at the field about 4-5 days a week. If you include homework and dinner = NOT ENOUGH HOURS.
but I would not trade it for the world, I love me family!!!
I am THE BUSIEST MOM EVER!!! I have three wonderful kids, two disabled adults, one husband, and one crazy dog I take care of. We would really appreciate easy to make meals!!!
Honestly, there are probably a lot of busier moms than me. But, I am a mom & wife and being busy just comes with the territory! I love my family and am busy showering them with that love. They would probably feel even more loved if they ate a delicious Michael Angelo’s meal every week! 🙂
I do not declare myself the busiest mom in the world, but life is hectic and would appreciate having an easy-to-prepare Michael Angelos’s meal at the end of the day to enjoy with my family.
I am a busy mom of 4 very active boys and the wife of a teacher and athletic director. I have a 6 yr. old, 5 yr. old, and twin 18 mo. olds. I am a stay at home to take care of my boys especially my 5 yr. old who has cystic fibrosis. To keep him healthy it entails doing treatments 2x a day with 7 meds a day and also doing nightime feeding with a feeding tube. I am also a volleyball coach to the girls at our highschool. I am always keeping schedules between, school, dr. appointments, volleyball, basketball, and church activities. this would be a blessing to have at least once a night not have to wory about cooking.
I am a very busy Mom, but perhaps not the busiest as I pick and choose what to be busy with more than some. I am one year post-transplant from having Leukemia. I have a four y.o. and seven y.o. both girls and am room mom for both of their classes. I am busy with our church, neighborhood, and friends. We have no local family at all (though we do have friends) so n help from that quarter. I love my job as wife, mother, friend & neighbor but this would be a huge help…for us and for those I could help with the time saved.
My husband was laid off from his full-time job in January so I picked up the slack with my private piano lesson business. I teach full-time 50 students a week, while my husband works a part-time job, works on his 25 credits to finish his bachelor’s degree and watches our 18 month old son. Some days neither of us have time to make a good supper.
I think I am very busy but I know there are alot busier moms out there. I’m a mom who works full time, then comes home to my second job, couponing! Then when I’m not working, I’m taking care of my amazing son and doing as much as I can with him since work takes me away. Oh then ofcourse I have to sqeeze some time to do housework, yardwork, take care of the dogs, and cook healthy meals!
I am the busiest mom…at least my friends say so…LOL!! I have a Jr High daughter who plays every sport there is plus independent sports. So our nights are busy with either practice or a game. This sometimes includes weekends as well. Then I can’t forget my elementary son who has just started sports. So there are some nights when we are shoving pb/j sandwiches in our mouths while we are running out the door for something. I would love to be able to put something in the oven/microwave & have it cooking while my kids are doing homework or getting ready. Something hot & delicious to eat sounds a whole lot better and nutritious.
I feel like I am a pretty busy mom right now…I am a Cushing’s Disease Survivor (Brain Tumor) who is now a disabled stay at home mom of an 11 year old, and a stand in mom for my 13 year old niece and 9 year old nephew because we just found out on April 10th my Brother in law has Melanoma Brain Cancer at age 34. He started treatment at UAB yesterday 5-3 with Radiation and Chemo and will have to stay in Birmingham durning treatments. Even if I do not win the meals. Please Pray for my Brother in Law and sister and my family Thanks!! This is his Caring Bridge..Thanks http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/steveretherford
I love to be busy – especially doing coupons and searching for great deals!
Pick Me! Pick Me Please!!!! I work full time, have three little ones and a husband that works 6 days a week. Any help with dinner would be great for both time and the budget. Thanks for the opportunity!!
I’m a busy mom with my four children (10mos-6yrs) and my fifth on the way. I homeschool my 6 and 4-year-olds, while my 2-year-old sits in for some of our lessons. My 10 month-old son is cruising and has become quite quick, requiring all of us to be on the ready to “head him off at the pass” when he’s heading toward trouble. I keep a large garden to lessen the grocery load on my family, and we enjoy the time spent outside. With our fifth little gift on the way, I’ve certainly been more tired than usual. Also, the questions about babies have come at a blinding pace, which definitely keeps my brain warmed up. My husband is a PA and sometimes has long days, so the “reinforcements” don’t come when supper is needing prepared. An easy, pop in the oven meal would be a blessing to share with the blessing of my family.
As a mom I know we are all busy, some more than others, but you just can’t be a mom and not be super busy 24 hours a day–literally. I would love to win the meals though–they sound great,and a
I’m a busy mom with two children under two years old – a 19th month old and a 3 month old. Both my husband and I work full time jobs and still manage to maintain a wonderful household where we eat dinner with our daughter every night.
I am a busy full time mother of 4, three boys, ages 11, 8, and 6, and a girl who is 5. I am also wife to a wonderful sailor in the US Navy, who gets deployed on submarines.
I am a busy mom 🙂 and would love to win meals for my family! I have a son who is turning 2 in June, a second son due in August, a hard working husband, and I work as a dentist. Having these dinners would be a blessing!!
I am a very busy mom. I have a three and one year old. I am in nursing school, and I help to take care of my in-laws. They suffer from a number of illness and need a little help. I would love one night a week off from cooking and cleaning up the dishes. I would love to win and would be very grateful.
thanks
I am a busy mom with 6 children ranging in age from 10 to 19. I homeschool them except for the freshman in college who majors in electrical engineering after completing his schooling at home.
I am extra busy in that my 11 year old boy has learning disabilities which makes school more challenging. Everyone has busy schedules centered around church, music, and sports. Making healthy meals is a top priority around here and eating out is rare luxury so cooking is a big part of my life! Thanks for considering me!
I am a pretty busy mom–but will soon be very busy with an 18 month old and a newborn in September! 🙂
I can say being a mom is a busy job period. Being that I am a step-mom, I still feel busy especially with split schedules and so on. Why do I think I am the busiest? Because I tend to overbook my schedule. I am still learning to say no to requests but find it hard to turn something done. Thus, I am always on the run, squeezing everything into my day. The benefit? I am exhausted and can fall fast asleep most nights.
I am the busy Mom to 4 active boys ages 10, 8, 5 and 15 months. I stay on the road taking everyone to baseball games, swimming, golf, scouts and piano. Just trying to make sure homework is done, everyone is where they are supposed to be and that everyone has clean underwear is a challenge, but I love it!
Too tired to write why I am so busy. Its 9pm and finally just got a minute to enter the sweepstakes!
I am the busiest mom because I have a 13 month old almost walker and I teach 20 first graders everyday.
Working a full time job, a part time job, and keeping up with household chores/activities makes for one hectic life!
I am busy from the time my almost 1-year-old gets up (5:30-6am) to the time my 2 1/2 year old goes to bed (8pm). We play, run errands, go to the park, do laundry (when they let me), and sometimes they even take naps. Although my 2 1/2 year old thinks it’s pretty fun not to take them anymore. While doing all of this I try to find time to sew for my shop on Etsy but by the time they go to bed all I want to do in lounge on the couch! Maybe that is why my pile of laundry is so big!?! Thanks for the chance for free dinner!
.-= Jeni´s last blog ..Zoom Sky Airplane Receiving/Toddler Blanket and Burp Cloth Set =-.
I am a mom to two active youngsters (almost 2 and 4) and they keep me hoppin’!
I’m a busy mom – one 15 month old little boy who just wants to get into everything, and 2 dogs who like to tear everything apart. I work full time, another part time job, and I’m going to school part time while freelancing on top of that. Something like this would be great to rely on every week!
I would like to nominate my mom. She is the single parent of four children(2 girls & 2 boys(twins). She always made time to make us dinner when we were kids and always had a very positive outlook on life. She has taught me everything I know about being a mother. The twins still live at home and I know a free dinner once a week would make her mothers day even better.
I lie food that I can cook and warm up the next day. I sure would like to wind this.
thanks
I’m among the millions of moms who work both inside and outside the home. My busy job for a large corporation often keeps me away from home until after dinner time. So the choice is fast food on the way home or a delicious Michael Angelos meal from the freezer. What a blessing it would be to have a meal planned for an entire year. Thanks and good luck to ALL the busy moms!
My husband and I are both working two jobs and trying to make ends meet. He was one of the many IT folks who lost their jobs at Micron due to the positions being sent to India. So, we are juggling these jobs, taking care of our son full time and remaining positive about life! We would love to have a delicious dinner prepared for us each week! Thank you.
I am a busy mom of a 10 year old dancer and a 6 year old ball player. I also coach a youth girls softball team. These are all extra curricular activities in addition to working full time. We are only home as a family for about 1-2 hours. These meals would not only help with my time but my Dave Ramsey budget as well.
Mom of 4 children and 1 grandchild who lives with me. With the boys in ice hockey and one daughter in girl scouts, I am always on the go. I work full time and am also taking an accounting class to further my education. i am also a single mom testing the water with dating again. But I wouldn’t change it for anything.
I love being mother to my three sweet little blessings(born in three years). I know these years pass so quickly and I strive to cherish every moment, however I am very busy! One meal a week taken care of would truly be a blessing.
After reading some of the comments, I am not the busiest mom in the world, but I am very busy iwth 2 children (7 & 4). I work full time and also have to help my mom and hubby’s aging father and two mentally challenged brothers. It would be a tremendous help to have some meals that are quick and easy and some to share with my family also. I would really like you to pick me to receive this prize.
I am sure I am not the busiest mom after reading all these posts! But I do teach a class in the morning, homeschool my 8 year old son, keep up with my (almost) 2 year old daughter, and work as a concession stand manager in the evenings for our local minor league baseball team. And of course, my son keeps me busy with flag football practices and games! We are also planning to foster parent another child in the summer.
My mom Cindy is sooo busy. She takes care of my neice during the day and keeps a spotless house. Her biggest challenges comes at mealtime when she has to cook 3 meals. One for me – who is allergic to everything. One for my dad – so he can enjoy some filling food before hitting the gym. And one for her – she is trying to loose weight.
Talk about a busy and super loving mom!
Next to Michelle Duggar, I believe I rank WAY up there with the busiest moms ever. I have 7 children–18, 16, 13, 10, 8, 4, and 1 (now you’re thinking ‘are they done’, and the answer is ‘only God knows’). I have been homeschooling them all for 3 years now. My 16 year old daughter has been an insulin-dependent diabetic for 3 years. My 10-year old son was born with a terminal heart defect that required 3 open heart surgeries before his 2nd birthday, but also had a colostomy, reversal, pull-through, and 8 hours of dental work (thanks to his heart meds) done under general anesthesia. In addition to the 8 extra (and very expensive) doctor’s appointments every year from those two, we have had 3 in soccer, 1 in TaeKwonDo (brown belt now!), 2 in Girl Scouts (mom as leader x 6 years), 4 in pageants (including mom), volunteer work at the Alzheimer’s Association, American Cancer Society, and the recycling center; we are active members of our church (even helped on the set of the last movie–Fireproof) and attend Sunday and Wednesday services, we have a rescue dog, 2 cats, a ferret, 2 vehicles that work & 2 that don’t, an attic full of “ready for a yard sale”, a garage you can’t move through, a sewing room that dust never gets time to settle in, 2 front loaders that seemingly run non-stop, and with hubby pulling call every other week at the hospital, I’m basically a single mom every other week! What did I ask for for Mother’s Day (since my big 4-0 is the following week)? ……an uninterrupted nap. But, to be honest, I wouldn’t trade jobs with ANYONE! And no matter what pays the bills for my kids when they leave my nest, they know couponing. If I can get it free or cheap, we can ALWAYS find someone that can use it. My local Publix calls me “coupon mom”, They close the line cuz they know if it’s in my cart I have at least ONE coupon for it! 🙂 I only get 3-4 hours of sleep at night, but i am NEVER too busy to save money! 😉
(irony: our 1040 is why we FINALLY have a 15-passenger van and i’m comment #1040 LOLOLOL) maybe it’s one of those ‘happens in 3’s” 😀
I am a homeschooling mother of four. That’s all I have time to say.
My daughter stays very busy trying to balance being a mom, wife, and taking care of herself. I think she does a wonderful job, even though it can be hard being so busy.
Well, I’m busy taking care of my 3 kids – 2 under school age – and the house, garden, coupons, and hanging out the laundry every day at this point. Saving money really takes time and so I would be very thankful for a quick, tasty, affordable meal every week!
I’m entering on behalf of Janelle, who cares for her three children while working two teaching jobs. She’s an elementary school teacher at a school with many underprivileged children, and she’s also an Associate Professor helping to build the teachers of tomorrow at a local university.
I’m the busiest mom because I found out today I have thyroid cancer!
Would love to win this gift. Need all the help I can get.
I would love to win this supply for food for my family. I am a single mom
who has raised her kids alone from ages 3&5 until now (they are teenagers). Now seems to be the busiest time for us – all going different directions. I am not a fan of packaged food usually, but we have LOVED
all the Michaelangelo’s dinners we have bought.
Busy mom here-two teenagers + husband + dog…on the go…enough said. 🙂
I stay busy working and taking care of my 15 yoa daughter and 10 yoa son. My husband works swing shifts in law enforcement and we work really hard making sure the kids keep up with their homework and they make really good grades. We travel 3 hours every other weekend to take care of my parents and my husbands grandparents. I also go to school full time. It is really hard to come up with a nutritious dinner for the family in a hurry. This would be a great help to us.
I am a Mom of 4 little boys, and like most moms, I am BUSY! I’m a military wife, and we move every 3-4 years. Between school, church, and everyday tasks, It would be so wonderful to have one less thing to worry about!

I’m tired just from reading all the other busy mom post… I need a nap!
I would like to nominate my girlfriend of 20+ years. She has 8 children all under 11 and has just announced she is pregnant again. While this has been a consceince choice for her and her husband, they are willingly choosing to be busy by bringing up children in a Godly manner, while ministering to the people of their church. She homeschools them all, has finished school herself, and never once complains about her busy schedule. She enjoys every minute of it, and would appreciate the help of a meal once a week, I am sure!
I am very busy driving my two children around from school to lessons that are at least 30 minutes away from our home. I also help my husband with his business, We are always on the go, and it is hard to get a great meal ready in time.
I have a preteen daughter who dances 4 nights a week and a preschooler who I have to take to all my daughters activities, so I spend a lot of time be the “bus driver” and coming up with activities that a preschooler can do when it’s raining outside or when we have to sit in the car while we wait. In my spare time I coupon.
Like all moms, I am a very busy mom. I have 3 teenage daughters, twins who are 13 and my oldest is 17. They are extremely busy with soccer, band, choir, school, and Girl Scouts. I am also the Girl Scout leader of a troop of 12 girls, ages 5-13. In addition, I have a full-time job teaching kindergarten…a job that I love and extends my duties of mom to surrogate mom throughout the day! With all of these jobs, it is hard to find time to coupon, but I do, and I love it! Winning these meals would be awesome!
I am such a busy mom! Blessed, but busy! My two boys, ages 10 and 13, are the lights of my life. They are also incredibly energetic! Raising them is quite a challenge. I am a single mom, living in a rural county, running my own business in two counties, paying the mortgage (barely), caring for all the critters, cooking, cleaning, driving, homeworking, playing……oh my…..the list goes on and on….you know it, ladies, don’t you! Best/hardest job in the world. Wouldn’t trade it for anything! I love you Henry and Arlo!!!!
1058 posts – It looks like you are gonna be a busy mom tonight! I am a mom of two working a full time job. 52 meals that I only have to heat and serve would be a blessing.
What Mom isn’t busy? We are always so busy making a “perfect” life for the ones we love the most. Am I the busiest mom? Probably not, but I do my best to provide for my 3 year old daughter and 1 year old son. We are in the process of a move and dealing with the comings and goings of our little family. Would it be great to receive a years worth of Michael Angelo’s food….YES!!!! Thanks for the consideration!
HI! I’m a full time working mom of SIX ages 19, 13,10, 3, and 2yo twins! Between work, school, daycare, and all the other dailey essentals things can get pretty hectic in our househould. We are always looking for some kind of healthy short cut for our meals. Thanks!
My “babies” are off to college. I thought that would lighten my load, but now I get the pleasure of driving 2.5 hours one way several times a week to hopefully catch them playing in their college ball games. It makes for late nights, quick meals, and early mornings at work, but I love every minute of it!
As i said yesterday, I AM the Busiest MOM i know!!! Helping with my sisters kids and my own….. on a fixed income and shared housing…..with not enough time in the day to get things done. The only down time i have is between 9:30PM and 10:30…and i’m always looking for a bargain or something FREE during this time to help us out!!! I would greatly appreciate it!!! So will my kids and my sisters kids!! They can finally have a decent meal.
I teach. I am a single mom of two. When do I have time to cook?
I am certainly not the busiest mom ever but I definately have my fair share of “crazy days” and I’m very sure I have many of those in the very near future. At home I have a 7 year old, Breah, and a 3 year old Colton, who keep me running all day but I also have a full time job at Opryland Hotel where I supervise 3 restaraunts. That is a very stressful job in itself but with this weekends’ flood and all the destruction and cleanup ahead of us I am definately anticipating being very very busy. I was also planning a wedding in October to the most wonderful man ever but both of us worked at the hotel which is also where we were going to hold the wedding ceremony. Everything is now on hold because we aren’t sure how we will pay for everything.
[…] few months ago, I worked with a company called Michael Angelo’s, and truly fell in love with their meals. Michael Angelo’s is a family owned and operated […]
