Window Treatment

School is just around the corner. (I know, I can't believe it either). 

Right now you are probably marveling at how fast the summer flew by, and wondering how you will be ready to switch gears so soon. With the school year approaching schedules get very crazy. There are so many things to juggle and so much stuff to remember.

I have such a great solution for you. 

This will work for home or office, school or daily life, young or old! :)

Take an old window (you can paint this whatever color you wish) and attach a chalkboard to the back.

You can choose to section it off by days or family members. This serves as a perfect reminder of daily "most important tasks (mit's)" (simple mom). 

TIP: Search  yard sales ands flea markets for windows. Chalkboards can be found at any discount store or dollar store. 

Have fun and decorate and embellish any way you choose. 

Summer Book Log

Now is a great time to start a log of all those books you've been reading.

This will help keep that growing book stash in order. And will be a great reference down the line.

Any journal will work. Make sure you leave enough room to log the Title, Author, Plot, What you liked about it, What you didn't like.

Feel free to decorate the book any way you like (or buy a beautiful one that needs no work) :)

TIP: This will come especially handy when your best friend asks "So, read any good books lately?"
