About
Welcome to Mom’s Plans! This blog is a reflection of the current goals I have in my life. My most recent goal was to become a stay-at-home mom to my 7 year old son and 3 year old and 22 month old daughters. I am happy to report that as of June, 2011, I officially became a stay-at-home mom.
Our family loves food. 
I share my attempts to feed our family healthy foods that I cook at home. Each month I document our bouts with freezer cooking. We have recently had to change our eating habits a bit because I and two of our children have a dairy intolerance, and I also have a soy intolerance. The upside is that we are now eating much healthier. Many of the recipes I share here our dairy and soy free.
I love offering great giveaways on my blog and sharing great deals with readers.
If you like dining out as much as I do, be sure to check out my new eBook, Mom’s Dining Out Deals. In this book I share over 70 strategies for cutting your dining out bill every time you dine out.
Also, I just started a new blog, Fiscal Phoenix. If you have made financial mistakes in the past, this blog seeks to help you rise from the ashes of your financial mistakes and begin anew.
Speaking of babies, my husband put together this great YouTube video of our three crazy little ones. Our house is certainly a noisy one, but there is never a dull moment!
I am glad you stopped by. Feel free to contact me at momsplans {at} yahoo {dot} com.

Hello Melissa! I just read an entry about how you and your husband paid cash for your children’s Japanese school. I’m kind of in the same situation, where I grew up in Japanese (I’m half Japanese) and it is very very important that my children learn Japanese so that they can go back to Japan and communicate with their relatives. My husband, is American. I try speaking to my kids in Japanese all day (very tiring when I’m the only one who speaks it!) and try to show them Japanese “PBS” type shows at movie time, but it still seems like it’s not enough. My children (4 and 3 years old) still seem to talk more English!
Anyway, I just thought I needed to say hello! and I hope you guys will keep saving so that you can pay for their Japanese schooling!! I admire that! Ganbare!
I imagine it is alot of work! My husband tries to read to our daughter in Japanese, but she usually responds in English. She is getting more excited about learning now that she can hear her big brother talk on the phone to obaachan and ojiichan and she can’t. She really wants to be able to speak with them.
Just dropping a note to say I love your site!! I’m moving in this direction food-wise, and I’ve been struggling to 1. do it, 2. shift my blog in this direction. Thanks for being an inspiration.
