NEW KITCHEN COMMAND CENTER



This morning I tackled another project

that I had been wanting to do...

create a "command center".



* The giant white dry-erase board is a calendar

(it's Simone's job to  fill it in each month)

* I hung a curtain rod with curtain clips to hang special things 

(baby announcements, invitations, business cards...)

* Of course I have my chicken calendar

*The double blue bucket is hanging from a ribbon on a nail

 and it holds dry-erase markers and pens

*My Myers picture frame was a gift from a friend

and I am sure I haven't developed a single picture since then (2 yrs ago) 

so its no wonder that it is still photoless:(

* The beautiful 4-pocketed hanging file thingy was made by me

in my new sewing area

 Its the first thing that I made from a pattern all by myself!!!

*The clipboard (which I covered in contact paper) has a laminated menu sheet

for me to keep track of what we have eaten all week

Just to prove that the Cooking Nook really has me

more organized

and the kids motivated -

Simone made whole wheat waffles (I did the hot griddle).

It was then I informed everyone of the bad news... who ever helps make the meal has to help clean up after wards.
Surprisingly they were ok with that and my kitchen has been clean ALL DAY!!!!

Edison made lunch - he buttered practically a whole loaf of bread for grilled cheese sandwiches!

Eli shucked corn!

Andre really wanted to make noodles which requires no real cooking

so he helped create some veggie burgers.
