Fun in Room 4B Primary History - Romans Ador Christmas cards can make wonderful holiday decorations if displayed creatively. Here are some unique ideas to display those pretty cards... This is a Pottery Barn card holder that costs $200! Forget that! Use an old frame, wire, and clips and you will have a way cheaper version that looks just as cute. A mattress spring hanging on the wall is a unique way to display all your lovely cards. An antique mattress spring would also look great. (VT Interiors) This is another great D.I.Y. idea. Use a curtain wire and clips to display all those special cards. Another great way to display artwork your kids have created, but it could also be a good way to display your Christmas cards. Randomly crisscross ribbon across an empty large frame, and you won't even need clips. This is a Thanksgiving idea from Tatertots & Jello. Cover cork board with a neutral fabric, frame it with an elaborate pretty frame, and pin up those pretty cards. Chicken wire+ empty frame= perfect place to clip cards

Bri-coco de Lolo Mr. B's Beach Brains Family Planner If you don't already have a family planner.... YOU NEED ONE! {in my humble opinion} :) I got these super cool planner pages for free from Prepared Not Scared and they literally changed my life! Why have a household planner? I'll give you 2 good reasons! 1- It'll help you get organized and then STAY organized! 2- It'll help your house run smoother and will enable your spouse, babysitter, or nanny to take over and run your household like you run it in your absense. Every household planner should be divided into at least 4 sections: Cleaning {your weekly, monthly, and yearly cleaning schedule} Cooking {Menu planning, recipe ideas, shopping list, coupon section, etc} Planning {daily, weekly, and monthly planning.} Basic Info {authorization papers, goals, babysitter info, family dr & medical info, etc} ***Think of how beneficial it would be to your family to have medical release forms, list of allergies, important medical information, and Dr/Dentist apt schedules and phone numbers in one place!

Comment survivre jusqu'au week-end Fancy Free in Fourth Our Launch Pad & New Weekly Calendar When we were building our house one of my biggest concerns was the lack of an entry way closet. My first thought was "Where will we put all our bags, coats, and stuff when we walk in?"... Adam's thought was..."We always came in from the garage anyway!" Hmmm... good point! I found this Ballard Design look alike at Marshall's and the fantastically big basket with a chalk board label at target for our many shoes. Aside from making this area VERY functional, I wanted it to be easily switched out for the holidays, as the open floor plan of our house leaves little wall or decorating space. The area was inspired by my "Family Rules" frame for the old house. I found the exact same frame at Wal-Mart ($10) and made a weekly dry erase calendar. This is my original calendar, which I also loved, but the colors just did not work here. The big middle frame is a work in progress... Since taking these pictures I have already added hooks and a dinner bell (must post that because it is pretty cute).
