For as long as I've had my own fridge, I've maintained the front of it as a magnet-free zone.
While we have a few items on the side of the fridge - a magnetic note pad, a photo or two, a to do list or reminder - it is very rare that anything makes it to the front of the fridge. We posted Dan's board scores and his Absite results, my GMAT score and acceptance letter from Drake, but they only remained for a few days before being retired to a keepsake box. It takes something truly special to make it to the front of the fridge for any length of time.
This little sign was made by one of the NICU nurses the day Lucas was born and hung on his bassinett during his stay. It made his little station a little more personal and I was thankful for the thoughtful keepsake.
It stayed on the fridge from the time we got home until it was replaced by Lucas's birth announcement, which is still on display.
Either I'm getting lax with my magnet-free zone policy or I finally have something I want to showcase in every square foot of the house!
Speaking of showcasing, I got the photos from Lucas's newborn session hung last week!
A family portrait wall in the front hallway - I had to paint the new frames to match the frame on our wedding picture
The big canvas we had done of Lucas for the family room
A maternity shot and the ones of our hands holding Lucas for our bedroom
A few shots of our little babe sleeping for in the nursery
And the keepsake frame we did with his hand and footprints
