Back to School Charts

The 36th Avenue gives a tutorial for this cute idea to keep your kids on track with school chores.

Christmas Card Books

I love this idea from eighteen25 - Christmas Card Books! I keep all my Christmas Cards and Wedding Invitations, but they mostly sit in a pile to be filed that never gets filed and never gets looked at. This is such a great idea to not only be functional but cute!  Love it! Thank you eighteen25!!!

Remember to Check Your Pockets!

I have to agree with Loved Stiched that it is really annoying to find paper, pens, stickers, etc. in your clean laundry when you are pulling it out of the wash machine. No matter how much I tell my family I will probably continue to find pens and such in their pockets. (I know I should probably be checking it myself...) :) Love this idea for a Laundry Reminder - it's great!
