Thanks to my love-the-underdog computer consultant (aka Dad), I have been taught to love the superior Word Perfect, even though everyone uses Word. I didn't figure I'd be sharing the lists, so I went ahead and created them in Word Perfect.<BR/>It'll take me some more time, but I'll re-do them and email them to you. :)Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10657460163379486396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785239994537240122.post-11847000729710612342008-07-29T13:28:00.000-04:002008-07-29T13:28:00.000-04:00I have my menus in an excel spreadsheet, it is not...I have my menus in an excel spreadsheet, it is not copying well in this comment box.

The shopping list is on the front, the recipes on the back for each week. I don't enjoy menu planning, so I only do it about twice a year. <BR/>As far as sharing my calendar, I've learned that Kyle does better with verbal reminders. (He doesn't look at the calendar.) So I just IM him when a reminder pops up and say: "Don't forget, my book club is tonight" for instance. ;)Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10657460163379486396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785239994537240122.post-55426527234070470682008-07-28T17:35:00.000-04:002008-07-28T17:35:00.000-04:00I love organizational tips.My calender like yours ...I love organizational tips.My calender like yours I can publish online so that my husband and nanny can look at it and see what our week/month looks like. <BR/> As organized as you are you may have already thought of this but ...<BR/>I have a ~8 weeks of menus with our favorite recipes (weight watcher friendly) that give us a variety of things each week. Usually only 5 meals/week. Then I put together corresponding grocery list that I can print out that has all the ingredients for that week's menu. Of course the grocery list is in quadrants that match up with how I go thru the store and has room to fill in all the extra things that we might need that week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785239994537240122.post-22598019028551932512008-07-24T14:26:00.000-04:002008-07-24T14:26:00.000-04:00Have you read Dave Allen's book Getting Things Don...Have you read Dave Allen's book Getting Things Done?
