Hooky Thingy

This hook thingy used to be hanging in my landing. It is actually a mirror but I had it hanging so high that no one could see into it and it wasn't reflecting anything but blank wall. Soooo, I took the mirror out and painted the back of it with chalkboard paint and put it back in place. Then I hung it right inside our garage entry. I'm hoping this will be an easy place for the boys to hang their backpacks and coats. Now if I could just find a way to wrangle all the papers they bring home! Actually, I have something in mind, but I have to find the proper pieces to make it work.

Back to school has been crazy! Everyone keeps asking me what I'm doing with all my time now that the boys are in school. Honestly, it hasn't felt like I've had a lot of free time. I try to be involved with their schools and several days have been spent working on projects for teachers, etc. I seem to manage to keep myself busy!
