Shlucha Publishes ‘Mom Planner’

By COLlive reporter

Ever since high school, Liba Andrusier (nee Frank) has been a perpetual “planner.” Organizers, date books, calendars, and of course to-do lists, dominated her life.

Being the oldest of a large family, she made it a habit to be organized in her roles as head counselor of a summer camp, Bais Rivkah Production Head and later on as a wife, mother, Shlucha and running the Friendship Circle of the Capital Region in Albany, NY.

As life became more demanding, necessitating even more lists, she looked through and used what seemed like every available organizer and planner on the market.

What she found was that not a single one of them met her particular needs as a Jewish wife and mother.

“What I needed was not only a physical to-do list, but also a spiritual one too,” she says. “I wanted a planner that would address the myriad roles Jewish women perform on a daily basis where we run our family, our shlichus or business.”

So what’s a Shlucha to do? Andrusier created and published her own planner and called it the “Jewish Mom’s Plan-It” which she dedicated to the Rebbe – “my daily inspiration.”

She included in it Hebrew and English dates, Jewish and chassidic holidays, shopping lists, menu ideas, daily Hayom Yom, weekly goals for the entire family and even a check-off list for daily exercise, drinking 8 cups of water.

The Plan-It is available on Amazon.com and Judaica stores in Crown Heights and Flatbush. For more, visit www.jewishmomsplanit.weebly.com
