I don’t normally do reviews, in fact this is my first. The only reason I have agreed to do this is because I believe in this company. In the past I have purchased their Busy Body Book, which I carry around with me ALL. THE . TIME.
I was offered to try out their new 52 weekly Fridge Grid Pad.
This pad has a magnetic strip attached on the back of the pad so it can attach nicely on the refrigerator. At first I thought it would not be strong enough, but I had no problems with it falling off (even with the door constantly being swung open by hungry mouths).
The Pad is divided up into 7 columns, which can be used for chores, homework lists, (many possibilities) etc.. For me I put the name of each family member (5 of us) and then used the last column to list what we were having for dinner. Don’t you get tired of the “what’s for dinner” question? I know I do.
Located beside the seven columns is a perfect place to form a grocery list of items needed. Here is an example of my list, I changed the names to protect the innocent and wrote it in Sharpie, so you could see it in the picture (normally I just write it in ballpoint).
And I am ashamed to admit my dinners were a bit on the weak side, but it did help solve “what’s for dinner Mom?”
Head on over to Joan Goldner’s site, I truly believe in her business. And I really do use this pad, it really WORKS FOR ME!!
Head on over to Rocks In My Dryer for more wonderful tips and ideas.

I had to chuckle at the picture that came to mind from the phrase about a hungry mouth opening the refrigerator. LOL!
I had never heard of this company before — sounds like a great product.
Thanks for the review, Laurel! I use the BusyBody book and love it; this fridge pad looks great, too.
What a great idea. So, does it have 52 pages and once you are done with the week you rip it off and start new or is it a plastic type thing that you erase after every week.
I’m assuming paper since you mentioned writing in ball point? How great to help keep a busy growing family organized!
Oh, I like this…great idea. Thank you!
Cute cute idea! I love your blog - it is so pretty. (Can you tell this is my first visit?) I’m heading over to check out your link.
My WFMW is about food, but not in the traditional way. Come on over!

Hi Lori,
MANY thanks for sharing your great review of our Fridge Grid Pad with your readers! I have to give all of our customers a LOT of credit for helping us by providing such great feedback over the past editions of BusyBodyBook and inspiring us to create this newest
tool to help all of the over-scheduled (myself included) and frazzled moms.
I have been searching far and wide for something like this! Thank you thank you thank you. Almost everything I have found is prewritten or doesn’t have magnets, or something is wrong with it…but this is super-duper.
What a very cool idea. Wish I would have had this when our son was a little guy…Now it is just my Sweetheart and I for most of the week…
Thank you for sharing this tip…
This looks really helpful. Glad you decided to write this review.
