Chalkboard Ideas

So to get my mind off of the whole job thing, I thought I'd blog some of my favorite chalkboard ideas.

I have a wall in the house that is totally blank. It's right across from the kitchen and would be perfect for a chalkboard of some sort. Maybe for the week's menu, a weekly schedule, or maybe just a to do list. There's just something about chalkboard and the invention of chalkboard paint that is totally awesome!

It might even help up be more organized. I know I could totally use something that would help us stay on track for our weekly menus. Usually, I'm pretty good Monday and Tuesday...and then by Wednesday I lose steam. With a menu on the wall, I think we could stick to it. Or at least it would be pretty.

Menu Plan for January 4-8, 2010

Being sick sucks. I have no will to do anything. But alas, as a grown up, besides my husband, there's no one else who can pick up my slack. I still have to make dinner. I still have to keep up the house. I still have work to do. It doesn't end.

In an effort to help myself keep on track and think less about what to eat, I'm forging a movement through 2010 of planning our meals for the week. I'm comfortable with routine breakfasts and lunches, it's just dinner that I'd like to mix up.

Monday - Shake & Bake Chicken and French Style Green Beans
Tuesday - Turkey Tacos
Wednesday - Spaghetti with Whole Wheat Pasta
Thursday - Porkchops and broccoli
Friday - Most likely leftovers

We'll see how this goes!
