After 31 Days of Adventure the Sharpteam has been finding some new rhythm and balance in their days.

We have found some particular rhythms that work for us.  We write up a menu monthly, so that we only have to think about what we are having for dinner once.

We sit down together annually, monthly, and weekly to talk about goals. We keep these goals on our icalendars, but wanted to have them some place where we could see them. We have a cabinet in the kitchen that has a wall that is just right for a family center.

So when we moved here we bought a couple of dry erase boards and wrote our goals out together monthly and weekly.

This summer I decided to change it up, and make it more of a gallery wall feel.  I had learned that you can write on a picture frame with a dry erase marker and easily erase it, so we got some white frames and this is what our kitchen wall has looked like lately . . .

We were going to post about this “transformation” but the more we lived with it, the less we liked it.  It was a lot of glass . . . it was too symmetrical . . . it was more work each week . . .

So this past weekend, we re-did the look again.

I have been looking at this wall from pottery barn for a while . . .

We were not as interested in the price tag for each of the pieces.  But we took the inspiration and put together a wall that is working for us . . .

Here is what everything is . . .

I am sure that this too will evolve, but one week in, and we are so liking how it works for us.

Here is a little detail that I like . . .

The pin is from my grandmother, monogrammed with a B, from my maiden name.  So we have the big “S” and still have a little “B.”

Here is the evolution . . .

Gratitude to Andrew who has done all the work.

Happy adventures in organizing!
