Home Journal: Dear Babysitter

Hello, All! Today I'll share my "Dear Babysitter" sheet. I got a lot of these ideas from Tip Junkie's Executive Home Maker Binder but this idea is one I have played with since Halie started babysitting. Since I'll have other teens in my home babysitting over the summer while Halie visits her dad, I thought a clean cut sheet woudl be better. Halie loves it, go figure!!

Here's a screen shot of mine until I can get you a picture:

I created a pink and a darker neutral with fill in the blank options, including a space to put your 9-1-1 address for emergencies. If you are interested in printing your own click to

Printable in Dark Neutral

This is one that will be laminated so that I can put in a visible place while the babysitter is there... still working on a cute display option! These also work well in a page protector. Dry erase still wipes right off!

Home Journal: Things To-Do

First up I'll start with my "Things to do this week" list. This is one I'll laminate and hang where everyone can see it. Dry erase markers work great on page protectors or laminate, so it makes this reuseable!

OK so in a page protector propped by the glow of the laptop screen isn't a GREAT pic...
but you get the idea LOL!

When you download the PDF it comes with my attached "Use Ideas" page. to show you how I use it. When printing, if you don't want the "uses" page printed  just be sure to set it print page 1 only.

If  you're the kind who needs a more goal oriented to-do page try my "week at a glance" PDF. with spots for dailies, notes, goals, projects, and more.

I kinda like them both, so I may do one to hang and one for my HJ....

Tip Me Tuesday: Re-Purposing Tees to Bags!

Today I'm gonna hang out at

 

with some re-purposed tees the girls and I made into reuseable bags!

Our easy instructions (step by step pics soon!):

1. Snip the collar & sleeves off.
2. Trim a loop off the sleeve & stretch it out to make a lacing.
3. Snip holes in the bottom band,
4. Thread "lacing" through & tie off.

WE LOVE IT!!!!!

Kae used a tank so there was no need to cut her collar off, but Halie and I liked the slouchiness (is that a word???) of the looser handles from the sleeves & collar being snipped. It was great way to save some of their favorite shirts that didn't fit but I couldn't convince them to give away. I'm thinking about making a whole stash of them (all those tees with worn edges or small stains?) for my Aldi shopping trips!

We got this idea from the Dollar Store Crafts Blog!
