Today's moms are juggling so much, and life can sometimes seem like a constant treadmill. Often times we hear from busy, tired mothers that they feel incredibly guilty for not focusing more attention on cooking homemade, nourishing meals for their families. But there are so many obstacles to this simple desire - a day crammed full of activities, countless trips to the market, the expense of groceries, finicky eaters (also known as kids!). Believe me, we know how much of a challenge this can be day in and day out!

But there is a fantastic online meal planning service that will help your family eat more nutritious, delicious dinners, as well as reduce your stress and save you money! Its not too good to be true - meet Aviva Goldfarb.

Mompreneur Aviva Goldfarb founded The Six O'Clock Scramble to help busy moms get organized, get motivated, and get cooking! She is committed to helping parents get healthier homemade dinners on the table each night. Her website, The Six O'Clock Scramble, offers weekly meal plans, either fixed or easily customized, that include side dishes, dessert and beverage recommendations. Once you select your meal plan, she gives you the grocery list, so you can make one trip to last you the whole week. No longer must you browse recipes, then make several runs to the grocery store -- this site does it all for you. There is now no excuse to say you don't have time to eat healthy or cook homemade meals!

And the best part of having Aviva organize your meals is that she is extremely focused on proper nutrition, clean food and earth-friendly practices. Her meals include vegetarian options, all the nutritional information, flavor boosting tips, make ahead shortcuts, and some meals that can be made, start to finish, in 30 minutes.

Here's a review from one converted Scramble devotee: "I continue to LOVE my subscription which has made my re-entry to the working world SO much easier. I check out the menus, give my husband the shopping list, and go to work knowing that when I get home it will be EASY to put together a nutritious, delicious, meal!".
