I finished this project forever ago, but It was in my entry and the light-bulb had burnt out! This week Mr. Project replaced it so I was able to take pictures!
I love this chicken wire board. It keeps me super organized. I keep my bills, out-going mail, reminder, notes, calendar etc. all up here next to my doorway so I don’t miss a thing.
I especially love the calender, its super simple and easy to get a lot of writing in each of the days. Read the rest of this entry »
With summer approaching, its harder to stay on schedule. I have been wanting to really organize all the chores around here so that it doesn’t feel like “catch-up” on saturday. A little bit everyday goes a long way, right? So I put together a simple weekly chore schedule that has a space for every day Monday through Saturday, as well as notes on the bottom for you to fill in all your chores and errands. Don’t forget to put things like “backup computer.” If you have kids, you could print one for each kid and hang them on the fridge.
For my personal chore chart I typed in all the small daily chores. I also as scheduled out all the weekly chores so that every day is pretty balanced between, chores, projects & errands. I found the cutest clipboard at Target so I made my design green to match – it’s so cute it makes me want to actually DO the chores!
If you are computer savvy, you can type in notes inside of Acrobat (or Photoshop) an then print out a few master sheets that you can customize weekly. Or print one copy & hand-write all your consistent chores and then just photocopy several. Good luck organizing your summer!

My blog will be a bit stagnant for the next two weeks, because I am going to Paris on Friday!
I’m so excited to get some great inspiration, see the sites, eat some good grub, and spend time with good friends.
I’m sure i’ll think of a million more projects to add to my to-do list. If only I could stop time and steal a few extra hours everyday to do them!
I have been wanting to make a travel checklist for a long long time. Instead of taking the time though, I usually end up with some sort of notebook with lots or very messy and illegible notes. But since I can share my checklist here, I figured this was a good trip to start being organized!
So I took a little time this morning and put together this sweet ultimate travel checklist:
Isn’t it so cute? I organized items into 4 basic lists: essentials, outfits, utilities, carry-on. There are also spaces for you to customize for your trip.
My favorite part is on the bottom – the 1 week schedule. Basically a 7-day countdown where you can put your daily errands leading up to your trip. I put a few basic ones in there, but i’m sure yours will fill up fast!
So enjoy your travels. I can’t wait to go to Paris!
