Its Time To Get Organized!
Create Your Own Command Center
In Four Easy Steps!
White Frames..................................OR....................................Black Frames
There are so many things that need structure in our lives and Moms are the ones to make it happen! I find that when I am organized as a Mom, my whole household runs smoother and my family is happier. I had crafted a few items a while back (a bulletin board and a menu board), but I only had one wall to really work with in my small kitchen space. Most of my kitchen is covered in windows or cupboards, which made it quite difficult for design purposes, but for my creative side, it was simply a challenge I was ready to face!
When I was at a friends house a while back, I saw a command center for the very first time and was intrigued by how much information could be on one wall and still look organized! Hers was amazing! She had a massive piece of sheet metal that covered one tall skinny wall from floor to ceiling. It was a gigantic magnet board that held everything from chore charts to motivational quotes, from shopping lists to magnets for the little ones to play with. It was seriously incredible. I have wanted one like hers for a long time, but have never had the money to buy such an expensive piece of sheet metal. I used some of her ideas my base and expanded from there.
She had:
Chore Charts
Shopping List
Quote of the Day
"Honey Do" List
Her To Do List
Menu Board
Children's Play Magnets
with a sign that said, "For the Little People".
Loved hers...so I added to it and made mine.

4 Steps to Designing Your Own Command Center:
1. Gather all of your family's information needed for command center
2. Decide how you want to display the information (ie. frames, clip boards, magnets, bulletin board, etc.)
3. Plan it out on paper first (Example: Draw the shapes of your items on paper so you know where you want to place them before you hang them up on your wall)
4. Place it on the wall in an aesthetically pleasing design
Voila! You have a Command Center to keep your family organized!
