Today's busy families have hectic schedules. To keep track of who's doing what, you need an organizing system that's a bit more sophisticated than the refrigerator door and a bunch of magnets.
| Prep Time: About 1 to 2 hours | |
| What you need: | |
| Corkboard
Fabric Ribbon Sheetrock screws Bulldog clips Painted wood Circular name tags | |
| Seasons: Year round | |
| Materials: corkboard | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  We tacked our fabric to the back with thumbtacks, then
created a grid with ribbon for holding notecards, securing each
crossing point with upholsterer's tacks. |
| 2. | Screw the board to the wall with Sheetrock screws, hiding the screw head behind the ribbon if possible. |
| 3. | Place beside a month-at-a-glance calendar (for recording all family events) and a small chalkboard or dry-erase board (for day-to-day notes and reminders). |
| 4. | 
Clip Key Papers
Keep a firm grip on important papers such as soccer schedules, school lunch menus and permission slips with these personalized clips. Each bulldog clip is screwed to a strip of painted wood and customized with a circular name tag (held on by an upholsterer's tack). More frenetic households may need to give each member an in-box (a wicker basket, decorated shoe box or an actual in-box from an office supply store) into which can go mail, phone messages and schedule reminders. |
