School will be starting back, and after school activities too...
However you choose to school your child keeping them organized, and displaying their hard work is something all mother's want to do.
I got my inspiration from this how to by Woman's Day
Family Bulletin Board.
I just followed the instructions they gave and....here is our Family Bulletin Board. :)
It displays...thank you notes, invitations, pictures, achievements, good work, report cards, pictures, good test grades, and anything else we want.
Our children attend a small Christian School, and sometimes there are articles in the newspaper about the school, and what the children are doing. Those articles go up here, too.
I found the letters at Hobby Lobby and spray painted them white. The material I used is everyone's favorite...a painter's drop cloth. ;)
Just add some white ribbon, and there you have it.
I just recently cleared ours off getting ready for the new year.
I added this cute calendar from Wal-Mart. I have school events, games, practices, and birthday's written on here all for me to try and keep up with. ;)
This project really is inexpensive to make, and easy...
I'm sure you and your family would enjoy one as much as we do!
For the love of Faith, Family, and Home,
Thrifty momma

This is a GREAT idea! I like your system just as much as the inspiration. Thank you for linking with Air Your Laundry Friday! xo Jami
ReplyDeleteOh, these are essential for school kids, well their Mom's! I have to have one to keep it all straight. So much stuff comes home with them anymore. This is where the up and coming events and projects go. Great idea. Mine is empty now too! I just cleaned it off this week. My husband asked me why I hadn't been cleaning out their homework cabinet or the bulletin board since the last day of school. The reason? I knew it would make me sad. My last little one finished kindergarten in May and when I got to the first things he brought home last August I cried and cried. I so miss them being little.:( School ends it all. Thanks for joining me at Home Sweet Home!
