Menu Planner


I didn't get my link in in time to be part of the January blog challenge, however I still wanted to make something and share all the other fantastic blogs.  This month's theme was Organization. January is a good time to get your house in order; in fact, it was probably one of your New Years Resolutions.  I've been working on organizing our menu planning for a while now and this project has been in the back of my mind for just as long.

What you'll need:
*Cookie Sheet (mine is from Dollar Tree)
*Vinyl Days of the week
*Pockets (I made mine)
*Cards with all your meals
 
Mind didn't turn out exactly how I wanted it.  A little bit of poor planning plus planning before I had the cookie sheet.  Oops! But it is functional for now.  Eventually the food cards will get a makeover and the pockets probably will too.  But never the less, here it is:
 
I used magnets made with aquarium rocks and scrapbook paper, but you could also glue cloths pins to the board.  I also used magnet strips on the back to hang on my fridge.

    1. You're welcome! It has worked out great for us. It is so easy to plan our week of meals now. Everyone just draws a card and I make the grocery list. So easy!
