Did you realize that yesterday, Monday 9/27, was Family Day? I love that there is a holiday for the most important unit in society — the family.

And speaking of families — you may know that our family has personally been using e-Mealz as a resource for our everyday meal-planning. So are many of you. (Thanks again for that recommendation.) I so appreciate their philosophy to simplify meal preparation so that families are more likely to sit down around the table … as a family … every day … and eat a lovely meal as we connect as a family.

Family, family, family, family, family … Notice a theme here?  ; )

Anyway, e-Mealz has turned this Family Day into a week-long celebration. They have created this “Family Week” to encourage everyone to make the effort to have dinner at home as a regular evening ritual and focus attention on what makes your family special.

When you head over to their site you can read more about how they’re celebrating all week. I noticed they just launched their new blog too.

In honor of this special occasion, and in appreciation for the support they feel from you specifically (my readers) — they are offering 15% off E-mealz for first time users. It was already such a good deal! That special code is beckyh and it is valid through October 15.

In the meantime, let’s give one family the opportunity to receive a 3-month membership entirely FREE, shall we? Please share just one ritual/tradition/topic of conversation that is typical at your dinner table. We’ll randomly select a winner and announce tomorrow.
