Menu Board Insturctions

In response to the menu board instructions. First, I use a erasable marker to write the days of the month and the menu. I use it just like a calender. It helps me plan the up coming weeks menu and it keeps track of the meals that have all ready made that month.

*You could use it as a family calender and not put the words menu on it.

1. 12 x 12 piece of thin wood
2. 12 x 12 piece of scrapbook paper
3. 8 x 11 piece of paper, print a calender on it and laminate it
4. embellishments
5. craft paint that matches your paper.

Paint the sides and back of the board. Modpodge the 12x12 piece of paper. Modpodge on top of the scrapbook paper and the edges of the wood to help seal it. Glue the calender on with craft glue. Embellishments I put on with hot glue. I bought a stand to put mine on but you could use a wall hook to hang it on the wall. Hopefully I have answered all of your questions.

Grandparent's Visit

When Grandpa and Grandma Whitby visited we celebrated Ryan, Chelsea and Johnathan's birthday. Johnathan loved the Indiana Jones lego set.

This is Ryan's brother's little baby Oliver. Isn't he cute. He has little braces on his legs to help his hip grow properly. He is so fun to snuggle.

Lauren got a witch Polly Pocket.

Grandpa Whitby resting. There isn't much resting going on at our house.

Lauren's soccer game. It was so cold and rainy but we got a cute picture under the tree trying to keep dry. Thanks for coming and building memories with our family. We love to have Grandpa and Grandma Whitby visit anytime.
