Remember the chalkboard in my little man's bedroom?
In this picture it has an "I love you" note, medicine times (he's teething again) & his first ever Valentine from his Nana.
But what I really use it for is to record his month marks! It's a combination of these two ideas:

Love them both. All I did was buy a white frame from IKEA.
(couldn't find it online. similar one here.)
I took the actual plastic fake-glass piece and painted that with Martha Stewart Blue chalkboard paint. I did a few coats to make sure it was nice and chalk-boardy.
Tip: I made sure my final coat was the opposite way from the way I would be writing. Since I use it vertically, I made the last strokes horizontal.
Here it is in use
In the months he has check-ups, it has his weight & height stats listed. Since it's month 7, I just wrote things & events. "first heart day", LOVES "da-da-da", and "almost crawling.

That s really cute! That would be a fun prop to take pictures with every month and then later display them all together.

ReplyDeleteSuch a cute idea!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really great idea. I have a family own blog where I post monthly pictures and this kind of info. I would have never thought of adding the info to the picture itself!
