Monthly Menu Planning + Calendar and Book Special

As we approach mid March, I am offering a special on the Lunch Box Calendar and Planning With Kid Book to sell the last of the stock I have of the calendar – before the year runs away any more!

You can purchase the book and calendar for $40 including postage to anywhere in Australia.  The orders will not be sent out until next week and it is strictly limited to available stock only.  Once the stock of calendars has gone the offer will close.  Purchase requests will be taken in the order they are received.

You can make your order by emailing me directly via nicole@planningwithkids.com  providing full name and address details and the quantity you wish to order.  Payment will be by bank transfer and I will provide my details via email.

Any questions feel free to email me also.

Monthly Menu Planning

I am trying a new format for our monthly menu plan, something a little more visual. It is set out in tables below for each week, but if you read via email, it may not come through as such.  If that is the case you can just click through to the blog and see the correct formatting here.

I will use a similar format for the weekly updates on the recipe posts for the rest of the month and see how it works.   I have added a  shopping list PDF at the end of each weekly plan. Please note when you create the menu plans in the Planning With Kids Menu Planner App, the app only allows you to plan from Monday to Sunday. I plan from Saturday to Friday, so Monday in the PDFs is really Saturday for us and so on.

Feedback as always, is most welcome. However it isn’t always possible to accommodate all requests, in particular in terms of the food I plan for our family to eat and publish in my menu plans.
