I'm not one to have a lot of stuff posted on my refrigerator, but there are some items that need to be front and center and the refrigerator is the best place for them to land. Case in point: the school monthly lunch menu. Occasionally Braxton will pack his lunch, but most days he buys (mostly because I hate to pack lunches...good thing he is not that picky of an eater!). But papers that stay up for a month at a time on the 'ole fridge tend to get crumpled and curled - which drives me nuts. So I took a plastic sleeve (like you would use in a binder) and glued magnets on the back of it. Each month I slip in the new menu, and along with a magnetic dry erase marker, can mark off each day and even circle upcoming pack-your-lunch days. The next month, I just wipe the marks clean and start over.
(Yes, in case you are wondering - that is my black refrigerator in my kitchen. It's not the usual white, cream or even stainless steel. It was a bold decision when we built the house but I LOVE it! :)
