(check out www.sticktoitplanner.com for more info) We too used printable magnetic sheets in our first prototype. What we found was that after continued use, the magnetic sheet is just too thin. Eventually the magnets start falling off the planner. We upgraded our magnets to a heavier gauge and they have been working beautifully ever since. So if anyone wants a planner without a lot of work, stop on by and take a look. :)<br />Happy Planning!Amyhttp://www.sticktoitplanner.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-27800388975258407812012-05-16T17:31:38.265-05:002012-05-16T17:31:38.265-05:00Great idea, beautiful design.
I have a complete...Great idea, beautiful design. <br /><br />I have a completely digital version which works similarly, using google calendar. We have a shared family calendar for meals and one for school, sports and dr appointments. For the menu calendar, I use repeating calendar entries for our favorites. Any new recipes, I put new the entry and link to the recipes. My planning is done for the year, I just need to throw in new recipe each week and make my shopping list at home or at work. <br /><br />The best part for our family is everyone can see it, so dad has everything he needs to know what to make (including recipes) and I allocate the appropriate amount of time (20 minutes for easy, 2 hrs for weekend cooking and 8 hours for crock pot meals, etc). <br /><br />And someday, I plan when my boys are older they will be cooking too when I'm on my way home from work. It's pretty awesome.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10199815003428231730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-37919802501312457522012-04-25T08:17:09.036-05:002012-04-25T08:17:09.036-05:00Amazing!

For the time being, I am only offering the PDF files. I've been really excited and a bit overwhelmed with the interest in this project, so I am exploring other options for making editable files available, but it will take me some time to get some things together. In the meantime, other readers here have suggested some great programs for editing your pdf files such as photoshop, gimp, paint shop, illustrator, Preview, or pixlr.com. Good luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16982897797699924000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-64370727955990361632012-04-20T20:37:17.494-05:002012-04-20T20:37:17.494-05:00Hi Everyone!

Here is what Scribd just sent me: "I apologize for the inconvenience. There is a known issue with Internet Explorer that our development team is currently investigating. I appreciate your patience while they work to resolve the matter." I recently moved the file over to "box" and there should be no trouble downloading it now!

The hardest part of meal planning for me is the sitting down with my recipes and deciding what to have that week. While I have my recipe binders out (1 for tried and true + 1 for new recipes) it is easier to pick which chicken ones i want and spread them out, beef, vegetarian and so on! Nothing is set in stone and i can always move things around as life happens, but the brain part is done.Deb @ home life simplifiedhttp://www.homelifesimplified.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-24368928756893708482012-04-19T15:52:16.368-05:002012-04-19T15:52:16.368-05:00Could Megan possible provide instructions on how t...Could Megan possible provide instructions on how to edit the tempaltes digitally to add menu items?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-75861104326312684642012-04-19T13:49:19.836-05:002012-04-19T13:49:19.836-05:00You're welcome Megan.
