What if you could take just a few things off your plate? What if the meal plan, the weekly schedule, the vacation plan or the budget can be made easier just by typing some words into a box?
AI isn’t just for tech nerds anymore. Free tools like ChatGPT, Google Gemini and others can help you save time, reduce your mental load and make everyday life smoother. You can use it like a personal assistant – the trick is to know what to ask. That’s where this guide comes in!
Meal Planning
Have a picky eater, a food allergy, someone on a special diet or just really busy? Meal planning can be really tricky. AI can help you compile meals you may not have thought of or give you a starting point to make a smart plan.
Prompt Ideas:
- “Give me a weekly meal plan for five people, focusing on protein and with enough leftover for lunches.”
- “Plan a dinner for 10 that includes one gluten free guest.”
- “Give me healthy lunchbox ideas for picky kids.”
- “What can I make with chicken thighs, broccoli, cream cheese, and garlic?”
- “Plan five, low-carb dinners with overlapping ingredients.”
Schedule Planning
When you have five kids, the weekly schedule changes constantly. There are new appointments, new goals and changing expectations. AI can help you keep up with that. Just describe what you want to do, your priorities or what you want your life to look life and let it help get you started!
Prompt Ideas:
- “Give me a weekly schedule. I work 9-5, have two children and want to work out three times a week.”
- “Help me build a Sunday reset routine that includes meal prep but lots of rest and self-care.”
- “Build a schedule with daily to-do list for chores that realistically keeps my house tidy in an hour a day.”
- “Create a routine for Monday morning that includes 30 minutes of devotional time but gets everyone out the door on time.”

Through August 3rd, Snapfish is offering an unlimited number of 4×6 prints for 2¢ each when you use coupon code JA90PRT at checkout.
The deal is fun because we rarely see a discount on an unlimited amount of prints.
Locally you can get prints for around 15-20¢ per print at CVS and Walgreens (that’s with a 50% coupon code), but you’ll have to drive out and pick them up.
For this deal you will have pay for shipping and that cost increases with the number of prints that you buy. However the more you get, in the end the price per print actually goes down. To give you an idea I played around with various orders. Here’s what I found:
These are the number of prints right before the shipping rate increases.
As long as you order 54 or more prints you are definitely getting the best price compared to local options!!
