What's for dinner?

If your family is anything like mine, everyone always wants to know what's for dinner. And since we're all busy running here, there and everywhere, there's not always time to talk about it. And while I may know what I'm planning to cook for dinner, if the hubby happens to make it home first, he can be able to at least start dinner if he knows what's in the plan. Plus, I personally find his questions of, "So...what are YOU planning on fixing for dinner?" annoying.

So I found something on Pinterest (of course!) that I thought would work:



They used theirs as weekly planner, but I chose to make one as a menu planner.


The only item I needed to buy for this project was the frame.


I started with the same $10 frame from Wal Mart used in the original project on Pinterest...


And I found these day of the week calendar stickers in my scrapbook stash..


Along with some coordinating scrapbook papers and stickers...


This was so simple...just place the scrapbook papers in the picture slots! Here's the finished product on the inside of my pantry door. :)


I used a Sharpie to add the permanent events of our routine: like Movie Night, tumbling class, Game Night, and Family Fun Day. Then, I used a Dry-Erase marker to add our dinner menu, whether one of the kids is packing for the day, and any special events...like practices, outings, celebrations and more. So far, I am loving it!

  1. AWESOME!
    I have found that wipe/write markers on glass are sometimes really light and that you can use a little rubbing alcohol on a papertowel to remove the Sharpie off of glass really easy so sometimes I just use a Sharpie so it's easier to read!
