Get Organized With Chalkboards For Your Home

My favorite cleaning chore to do when I was in elementary school was to go outside the classroom with some chalkboard erasers and whack them together to get all the chalk dust out. Not sure if my nose and lungs liked that very much, but seeing the clouds of dust seemed so cool. So when I thought about organizational tools for the home, I thought about chalkboards! The simplest way to go is to get a chalkboard wall decal that you can stick onto multiple surfaces without damaging your walls. The Peel and Stick Chalkboard can be arranged with just one at a hallway for reminders and notes or you can group multiples and cover a whole wall. I also love the Sabrina Basket & Chalkboard Labels for easy storage from anything like kids toys or your toiletries. The best part is that nothing is permanent so just a swipe can erase your words.

It's been said that Halloween is the only day of the year you can wear- or not wear- anything you want, as long as you include one telltale element in your costume- a pair of ears, a tail, a beehive... you get the point. But if you're concerned the other trick or treaters might assume you dress like Amy Winehouse every day, you'll need a trick or treat bag that drives the point home. But forget the plastic pumpkins and pillowcases- just because you take on an alter ego one day a year doesn't mean all style smarts go out the window! That includes the kiddies too, so check out my slideshow of trick or treat totes- some cute, some chic, and all ready to be stuffed to the brim with free candy.
