Weekly Family Planner for the Command Center
I finally found the weekly family calendar that I have been looking for.

I have never had much luck with marking out the spaces on the wall with painters…

Sometimes you don’t have to live with almost perfect. Many times, simple changes can transition a piece from close enough to just what you were looking for. When I first saw this piece at Hobby Lobby, I loved it. The mix of letters, the rustic farmhouse look, the simplicity, the size. Everything was perfect. Well, everything except for the color of the N. I’m not a huge fan of pea soup green, but my problem wasn’t a particular dislike of the…
