Remembering Last Minute Items



It's Wednesday! That means that it is half-way through the week, which is always a good thing. It also means that it is Works For Me Wednesday.

Bugaboo and I have had a hard time this year remembering those projects for school that can't be put in a backpack at night for whatever reason. Dioramas, play-dough that needs to be refrigerated...you know the stuff I mean. There's nothing worse than getting him all the way to school only to have to turn around, go back home and pick up the missing item. Or worse, getting all the way to work and remembering it there...I work too far away to just run home and get it for him.

So Bugaboo came up with the idea that we should write a note and use one of the refrigerator magnets to attach it to the steel garage door. This way, as we're walking out to the garage, we see the note and can remember.

So that's what works for us this Wednesday. If you're looking for more tips that might help you out, head on over to Rocks In My Dryer for other ideas.

Until later...

Great minds think alike... I leave notes for my DH on our garage door, so he sees them on his way out. :)

So simple! So smart! Why didn't I think of this earlier? Thanks!
