Ten minutes on Sunday. The whole week on the fridge.
Here’s everything Fridge Club does, from setting up your family to the page you talk through at breakfast.
Set up your family once.
Add everyone, give each person a color, and put in the things that happen every week. It’s quickest on a laptop, and you only do it once.
- Two grown-up seats, plus links for kids, grandparents and the babysitter
- A name and a color for everyone, right on the page
- Things that repeat every week, every other week or every month
Add the week. Type it or say it.
Fridge Club puts each thing on the right day, at the right time, with the right name. Last week is already there, so on Sunday you only change what changed.
- Say it out loud: “Theo has soccer Wednesday at 5”
- Leave a gap when a time isn’t confirmed yet
- Give the can’t-miss stuff a red circle
Print one page. It lays itself out.
One US Letter page with the whole week on it. Twenty things on Wednesday? It still fits. There’s nothing to design and no text boxes to move.
- Works on a printer older than your kids, in black and white or color
- Or save it as a PDF or image to print somewhere else
- Your family’s name at the bottom, and a tiny Fridge Club mark
Stick it up. Talk it through.
Breakfast is where the week gets talked about. Everyone knows what’s coming, and the planning is done until next Sunday.
- Quick adds from your phone during the week
- Everything that repeats is waiting for you next Sunday
- A full-screen view, if you ever want it on a tablet
What goes on the page
Pretty much anything your family has going on. Here’s the kind of thing that ends up there.
Practice and lessons
Soccer, piano, swim, Tuesday chess club.
Appointments
The dentist, a parent-teacher night.
What’s for dinner
Taco Tuesday, Friday pizza, leftovers night.
Chores and to-dos
Bins out, a permission slip, a haircut to book.
Birthdays and visits
Grandma’s weekend, a party, the school play.
Plans change. So what?
Three ways to handle it, depending on how big the change is. Here’s soccer moving from Thursday to Friday.
Not sure yet? Leave a gap.
Waiting on a time? Hold the spot, print anyway, and fill it in later.
Small change? Grab a pen.
It’s paper. Circle it, cross it out, scribble on it. No reprint needed.
Big change? Just say it.
The page rearranges itself around it. Print it again. It’s paper, not a tattoo.
Dinner and groceries, next.
We’re building these now, so more of the week can live in the same ten minutes on Sunday.
Meal planner
Plan the week’s dinners while you plan the week, and see them right on the page. Taco Tuesday can simply repeat itself.
A grocery list that remembers
If you buy the same things every week, they’re already on the list. Add what’s new and you’re done.
Try it on your own week.
Set it up tonight, print it Sunday, and see how Monday breakfast feels.
