Magneplan Your Life!

Life can be crazy busy for working mums and dads, especially when the kids are still young and demanding. The Juggle is Real. We’re huge fans of anything that makes life that little bit easier, particularly at crunch times of the day, like feeding times!

Magneplan is the brainchild of busy mum of twins Nicole Murphy and her innovative magnetic meal planner is designed in Ireland. Nicole says –

“A few years ago I made the most difficult decision of my life: I was going to embark on the journey of becoming a Solo Mom by Choice (SMBC). I felt an overwhelming sense of responsibility to my children even before they were born. I was hyper aware of the responsibility I was taking on and I wanted to be as prepared as possible to manage a family and home on my own. So I asked other parents where the crunch points were in their day as I wanted to see was there any one thing I could do to minimise the work that went into running a home in order to maximise the free time I could spend with the children”

So how does it work? Nicole says “Every parent said 6-7pm was the most stressful time – what with getting home after work, trying to cook the dinner and give the kids attention at the same time. I needed to make this golden hour as automatic as possible and meal planning was key. While embarking on the long road of fertility treatment, I started getting all my go-to-recipes together and created my own meal planner. I summarised all the recipes on home-made magnetic cards, categorised them by colour to ensure good meal rotation and made a magnetic board to display them all and make meal planning easy.”

Magneplan is available on Nicole’s website at www.magneplan.com

We’re looking forward to testing it out with our tribe.. Now we just need to find someone to cook the meals!!!
