Last week I tried to post an entry, but I didn't read the instructions very well and got deleted. Oops. So, here is the link to last week's offering of an idea to use with watercolor paints: Watercolor paints. Evidently some folks found me somehow because i received some great suggestions for making it easier for my girls to paints with watercolors.
Here is this week's idea: 
I have been menu planning for a while. It is such a big help to me to have a plan. I have been organizing my menus on Excel, and printing out very simple calendars each month. This week I decided that I needed a more environmentally friendly method for posting my menus. I purchased a small white board that is about the size of an 8"x11" sheet of paper. My menu calendar transferred nicely. I used a permanent marker to draw in the calendar blocks and write in the days. I then used a dry erase marker to write in the meals. Now I can plan ahead without wasting paper, or erasers on my pencils.

That really is a great idea. I only do my meal plans online now, but then sometimes I get tired of having to look up on the computer 'what's for dinner'.
Clever! Very clever. I have an extra one of those boards. This will be a perfect use for it!
great fast idea. Thanks!
This is a wonderful way to do it. I especially love that you are not wasting paper. I will have to think about that. I posted today about Meal Planning, too.
