Chalkboard Obsession & Creative Party Saturday!

Wow...I guess I was pretty busy this week with projects and posts.  I guess that is what snow will do to you...trap you in the house.

It's been a crazy month for snow here in Minnesota and this week was the worst!  It's been snowing since last Thursday...which a freak snowstorm in April isn't unheard of but a whole week of snow (over 12 inches) and it has been so cold.

 I keep shouting..."WHERE IS SPRING???"  

Each week I create a new chalkboard for my family.  My huge chalkboard is located in our dining room, so everyone sees it all the time and it has become a big deal to the kids to see it each week and contemplate over what it means.  Especially our 7 year old daughter, who isn't quite sure most of the time.  I try to find something that fits with what is going on with our family or can inspire the kids to greatness.

{ This weeks chalkboard is for my daughter, Megan, who just started
 her first job and will be starting Marching Band next week. }

Organizing the Kitchen and Kids


Organizing My Life...

With a family of six, I need to stay organized and recruit help around the house.  These are a few ideas I came up with that are simple projects with items I had laying around the house.
This clipboard is exactly what I need since I am a list maker.  I keep it right next to the fridge for my grocery list and put my coupons in the little pocket on the bottom.




Put the Kids To Work...

I loved this project because it is SOOOO useful for our family and can change from the school year to the summer easily.  It is a cookie sheet decorated with scrapbook paper and ribbon.  The chores are printed from my label maker and put onto magnets.  I made extras that can be used during the school year such as empty folder, homework and such.  I store unused ones on the back of the cookie sheet.
