Testimonials

I just wanted to share with you my successful Easter dinner. I joined FLYlady in December last year and subscribed to the menu mailers about 1 month ago. I am now 53 years old and this is the first feast, Easter or otherwise, that I have ever put together. I just followed the shopping list, recipes and the timeline and just look at the result! My family is still drooling just at the thought of that Fabulous meal! My husband Scotty and my Mom Sheila both raved about it.
How can I ever thank you? The words seem so inadequate but Thank You!

Dear Leanne,  My daughter recently celebrated her 40th birthday.  I used your "Adult Birthday Party" menu and plan from "Saving Dinner for the Holidays", with rave reviews.  And it was so-o easy on me. My husband and I are losing our body clutter thanks to your Body clutter Menu Mailers. Thank you for all your Saving Dinners and for sharing your struggle with body clutter. 

Love,
Karen B. in Minnesota


Dear Leanne,

Not only do your Menu Mailers and Saving Dinner books keep me sane, they have made me and my husband eat foods we NEVER would have tried! I love the grocery lists and serving suggestions. That is what keeps me sane. It's so easy to have a grocery list ready and all the menus and recipes for the week. I have fun cooking and my DH is thrilled to have something different to eat every day. It's really fun. But the best part is, I LOVE squash! I never ate it as a child and I never knew how delicious it could be. I never had kale, bok choy or rutabagas. I love it all! I have always made the "usual" veggies: carrots, peas, corn, green beans, broccoli and cauliflower. AND, my meat eating husband now eats his vegetables. :)

Your Saving Dinner for the Holidays book is fantastic. I am having all my grown children over for a Christmas celebration but I am using the New Year's open house menu. Hors d'oeuvres is exactly the way we wanted to celebrate and now with the grocery lists, timelines and recipes all figured out for me, it will be stress free! 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Love,
Cindy V.

PS My DH said he will give you a hug when we finally meet you someday. And I will too.
