Chalk it up

Chalk boards in classrooms are almost obsolete but using chalk in the home has never been more popular!

Slapping some chalk paint on any smooth surface in your house makes for a perfect location for lists and reminders. Front of refrigerators and cabinets to a child's bedroom wall is a great place for a chalkboard.

Organizing with color

Divine Order is settled deep the heart of "God's country" aka Aggieland.

Having a large university smack in the middle of town means a lot revolves around the school year and students. With August upon us there will be plenty of dorm decorating and organizing happening very soon! 

Browsing any of the local retailers, you will find anything and everything a dorm room may need in wide assortment of colors. 

This made me realize, one of the easiest way to organize, particular for children, is through color!

Just like coeds buy things in a certain colors to identify their items in the dorm, giving children a designated color helps them associate their things from another sibling. This works exceptionally well if siblings must share a room. Here are some great ideas to consider!
