How to Choose the Right Meal Planner

Half the battle of creating a weekly meal plan is having the right tool, so here are some tips to help you make the right choice.

Magnetic or Non-Magnetic - Choose either the momAgenda Meal Planner or the What to Eat Notepad if you want to hang your meal planner on the refrigerator.  Choose the Weekly Menu and Grocery List Pad if a magnetic backing isn't necessary.

Dual Functioning - Both the momAgenda Meal Planner and the Weekly Menu and Grocery List Pad offer additional features beyond meal planning.  Choose the momAgenda Meal Planner if you would like to combine meal planning with family scheduling and the Weekly Menu and Grocery List Pad if you would like to keep track of your menu and grocery list on the same page.

More than Just Dinner - Both the momAgenda Meal Planner and What to Eat Notepad let parents plan additional meals.  The momAgenda Meal Planner lets parents plan for dinner, lunch, and Snacks/Dessert while the What to Eat Notepad let parents plan for dinner, breakfast, lunch, and snacks.

Size of the Planner - Measuring 12" x 9" the momAgenda Meal Planner offers the most planning room and is a good choice for parents with large hand writing.  The What to Eat Notepad (measures 6" x 9") and Weekly Menu and Grocery List Pad (measures 5" x 8") are smaller and take up less room.  These are good choices for smaller kitchens or for parents with small handwriting.

How to Make Weekly Meal Planning a Habit

Add it to Your Calendar - Keep meal planning and grocery shopping on your radar by adding time to your calendar, planner, and daily routines.

Use Reminders - Until meal planning becomes habit, reminders are a good way to keep on top of meal planning. There are many ways of using reminders, but some of the most common are the good old fashioned sticky note placed somewhere will you know you will see it, smart phone apps (search the app stores for task or reminder), or task reminders in your Outlook or Google calendars.

Choose the Right Time - Set yourself up for success, by doing your meal planning when you are less likely to be distracted. This is especially important in the early stages when you are just beginning to establish your meal planning system so that you don’t give up. These times of days for most parents are in the mornings or evenings while the kids are still in bed, during naptime, or on your lunch break at work. Use a tote bag to make your meal planner portable, so that you can have it available while waiting for kids to finish activities, during your lunch break, or while waiting for doctors.

Give It 30 Days- Most experts say creating new habits usually takes at least 30 days of repeated practice before it becomes habit, so stick with meal planning for at least 30 days before giving up.

Anticipate and Manage Disruptions - Life doesn’t always go according to plan, so work on managing the disruptions when they occur. Whether disruptions are caused by communication failures, weak boundaries, or simply an act of God, there are ways we as parents can manage our response to them and work on not letting them derail our routines.
