Side Effects

Well, here is one of the positive side effects of Pinterest. You find great ideas (mostly "why didn't I think of that" ones) and get inspired. I have seen many menu planners in frames on Pinterest where you just print out the menu, place it in a frame and use a dry-erase marker to use it over and over. Genius. However, I needed a place for the recipe cards I would be using for the upcoming week instead of just laying them on the counter top, or worse, having to dig for them in the midst of meltdown time right before dinner. Easy solution...hot glue a clothespin to the back and voila! hidden storage of those cards right at your fingertips to use for each meal. And I had every single piece of this project on hand, so free! No excuses to prepare meals. I guess that is the negative side effect.



...and another positive side effect was digging in storage for this unused frame to find it displaying a picture of Blake at about 9 months old. Guaranteed smiles :)
