I went into a peroxism of cleaning today and even took everything off my refrigerator. It looks too bare without anything on it, so I've got to decide what to put back. It got me to wondering what you gals have on your fridge?
What I took off:
photos (lots of them!)
magnets (many homemade by my girls over the years)
service phone number magnets (pizza, vet, septic system, recycling center, school, county numbers)
lists (too many to count)
coupons (many expired so are now in the recycling bin)
What I'm putting back:
most of the pictures
hand-made magnets
important phone numbers
current grocery list

Ok, I added a comic strip today. My youngest daughter gets her driver's license this week and the commic is of a new driver making hand signals "not taught in the driver's manual". They include things like "Mom is backseat-driving" and "I'd be going faster if Mom weren't with me".
Right now my magnets are all neatly placed...that'll last about a week!

Oney, your husband must be a wonderful man. It is fantastic to hear about a man taking a boy under his wing, it's so important!!
Let's see, on my fridge I have pictures the children of friends and family, plans for a my husbands dream house, magnents, a photograph of my husband's groom's cake from 3 years ago, wedding invitation, valentines day card from DH, more magnents, wow! My refrigerator has turned into a filing cabninet!!

We have all kinds of magnets, including 1 for the poision control center and 1 for an emergency vet clinic
photos that are humerous from our family or friends
drawings from our little people friends
I clear the clutter about 2x a year to make room for fresh
If you go to people's houses, it's always very intersting to see what's on the fringe
AND, , are everyone's magnets and photos all haphazard, or ultra organized?
Ours are slapped up wherever ther's space...kind of random |

I took of most of my magnets, lol. I have a bag full of souvenir magnets that were all over the fridge. Didn't like the look anymore so just have a few left. And on top my microwave which I hardly ever use :)

I went on a cleaning spree today too! So right now the fridge is bare. I agree it just looks too plain.
I did have five or 6 pieces of the kids' artwork. It's the only thing allowed to hang on the front of the fridge. LOL
My DS keeps his list of friends phone numbers and addresses on the side of the fridge. I left those up.
Tomorrow DD will notice the bare fridge and will get busy making more art to cover it up again.

I usually have my grandgirls art work but the new appliances do not accept a magnet. So I have nothing. I am sad it also makes all the finger prints realy show up.
