Memo Station

Chalkboard paint...it's a wonder.  And even better, it comes in spray paint!

When I learned of this marvelous wonder, I knew it'd be perfect for some revamping to create a memo station.

I recently mentioned that I got rid of all junk drawers in my house.  That left a little problem for the kitchen where a quick notepad and pen is often needed and spare keys are occasionally needed.

So, I present to you my new memo station:

I love it.  It keeps my life organized and both my husband and I on the same page.

That chalkboard was made from this old pan.

Simply spray painted with chalkboard paint and it is an instant magnetic chalkboard.

If you're wondering about that menu board...check out my post here.

Go get organized with your own memo station!

Fall/Thanksgiving Dress

After seeing this adorable little dress on Pinterest...

I knew I wanted to recreate something similar for my little girlie.

This was the first dress I made without a pattern and I can't believe how easy and quick it all went.

I used my husband's old t-shirt for the yellow portion and some scraps for the rest.

Absolutely love the way it turned out!  It was perfect for Thanksgiving.

I'm inspired now to recreate other looks I've seen.

It's intimidating but once you get going, it's so simple.  You should try it!

Toy Storage for the Car

Kids inevitably cause your once clean car to become a child's battle zone.

Having a like new clean car is a thing of the past but some of the mess can at least be haphazardly organized.

I decided to tackle this mess after cleaning my attic and running across this college days shoe organizer.

I thought this would be perfect for some storage on the back of the car seat.

I simply cut a section about the size of the back of our seat and attached ribbon to each corner.  Tie your new storage solution into place and you have instant organization.

The shoe slots are perfect for diapers and wipes too.  Which is perfect for quick day trips in the car.

This was so quick and I've seen these shoe organizers at the dollar store or the dollar section of Target so inexpensive too which we always love!
