Things are Cooking at MWOW
Meals are not the only thing made in the kitchen...so many memories are made there, too. With a little help from our talented designers, you can have a personalized cookbook sprinkled with tips, anecdotes, photos and anything else you can think of right alongside your family recipes.
The folks at Moms Own Words agree that this one-of-a-kind Family Recipe Memory Book will be "treasured for a lifetime". They also were "awed at how simple the process was." We at Memories WOW! of course knew it would dazzle them but we still couldn't be happier at how satisfied they are.

Spotlight on...
CRAVE Feature

As part of our mission statement, Memories WOW! is dedicated to helping our customers live ALL aspects of their life "Without the Work." Here, we share great ideas to keep your life focused.
Focus Point #1
Minimize morning chaos.
Lay out yours and your kid’s clothes, get the coffee pot ready, make lunches and review the day’s schedule with your spouse before going to bed.
Focus Point #2
Manage your email, don't let it manage you.
Check email only 3X a day: 10am, 2pm & 4pm. At these times, most people will have responded to what you sent and you'll minimize your time going through useless items.
Focus Point #3
Use your "secretaries".
Let voicemail & caller ID work for you! Ignore calls that will throw off your schedule (your mom, your sister, the neighbor that goes on and on about anything...). Talk to those people when your time allows.
Focus Point #4
Carry pre-printed return address labels with you in lieu of repeatedly writing out your contact information.
This trick is especially time saving at trade shows, doctor's offices & other instances when there are many forms to fill out.
Focus Point #5
Grocery staples
Keep a list of the most common food staples attached to your fridge so when you run out of something any family member can check it off. As a bonus, compile the list items in the same order you find them at your grocery store--it will make for a quicker trip!
Focus Point #6
New baby in the house?
Always keep the diaper bag packed, as well as keep a few extra staples in each of your cars. You can never be too prepared for messy diapers or hunger attacks.
Focus Point #7
Use a single calendar.
This will help you to avoid schedule conflicts and overbooking your family with too many activities. Keep important phone numbers on the back page as a handy reference for everyone.
Focus Point #8
Get a mantra.
Mantras are simple phrases on which you can FOCUS, meditate or pray. Find one you like that is true to who you are. Things like, "I'm only one person." Positive affirmation may seem silly at first, but setting aside the moment will pay off in the long run.
Focus Point #9
You, unplugged.
Technology can be a time-waster: wading thru useless emails; phone interruptions; perusing endless playlists; texting...Disconnect from it for one hour every day & use the 60-minute block to catch up on things that have fallen behind.
Focus Point #10
Enjoy your tax dollars at work.
Did you know that most libraries will find a book for you and leave it at the front check-out desk so that all you have to do is come in and pick it up? Depending upon your branch, you can either call in the request or do it online. And the best part? It's all free!
Focus Point #11
Be prepared for snack attacks.
Buy snacks in bulk and fill individual snack bags. When your kids get the munchies, just grab one of your pre-filled baggies from the cupboard. This is also a good way to save money!
