Thank goodness for the magnets. We have so many things on the Fridge, at times I can't even see the color of the thing. Ha,ha,ha.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Wednesday My friend.

Our fridge won't allow magnets. Not on the front, only on the side and you can be sure there are things posted on the side.
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific Wordless Wednesday. ☺
what a great idea! Is that your front door? Like Sandee I don't have a fridge door that allows magnets....have a Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteDay of the Sea sounds super fun.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea. We have stuff on the fridge, but it can be easy to miss something important.
ReplyDeleteIs that the inside or outside of your door? I'm thinking it's the inside?
ReplyDeletebless you. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is very clever, must be a steel door! Sadly, I can tape a note right on the door in front of my face, and I will still walk out in the morning without taking that extra item listed on the note. I am a space cadet! :-)
ReplyDeleteBrilliant. I have my huge "mom" calendar right by the top of the stairs, at the corner of the kitchen -- where I have to walk by it a hundred times a day. Hubby reminds me daily that my phone has a calendar. Honestly, I can WRITE it on the actual calendar much faster and it's always visible. No code to enter to view!! There is not always an App for everything! :)
