What's for dinner?

A couple of days ago I was looking for a new (and useful)  craft/project to help pass the time while I'm waiting for Caleb to make his entrance into the world. Before going to the grocery store that day I was figuring out what I needed to buy, which meant that I had to figure out what we were going to eat for the next week since I only go to the store once a week.

Deciding what we're going to eat is surprisingly hard every week, which is when the idea came to me to make a menu for my project. I looked up some ideas for magnetic menus and all of them would have required me to buy at least $40 of materials from 10 different stores. No thanks!

So here's my own version of a magnetic menu board. I just did two weeks rather than a whole month like most of the other ones did . . . I already need to make 3-4 more magnets that say leftovers and burritos on them! I can't imagine how many of those I would need in planning food for a month.

I did have some issues with the paper not being flat after gluing things to it and it made the magnets not stick so well to the refrigerator. The strips on either side are magnets covered in paper that helped hold it flat to the fridge for the past couple of days . . . it looks like I may not need them anymore!

I should probably make a few more eat out and Ramen noodle magnets for after Caleb is born and I don't feel like cooking.
