I started out printing a weekly menu and giving it to the parents at the start of the week....then went to just posting it....but then, like you, I felt tied down and more stressed about it! So now I have a white board by the door and near the end of the day I write what we had for the day. I leave it up there so parents can see it the next morning as well and then erase it and start over! This way I can make whatever I want on that day, and parents still are in the know if pick up is crazy and I don't get a chance to talk to them...they can glance at it! The parents really like this!
