Some friends came over the other day and pointed out the fact that the "fridge art" we unabashedly display on our fridge is quite unique. I guess we're guilty there. I suppose the stuff you display on the front of your fridge is usually the things you care most about, like your child's latest works of art, cherished photos, the phone number of your favorite pizza place. And since the space there is pretty limited you've got to be choosy. Only the most important things make it to the magnet. It's a little like being the curator for the Louvre-you've only got so much square footage to display a world of meaningful things.
So, if what goes on the fridge front can tell you a lot about the family, what does yours display? Inspriational quotes? Photo collages? Kindergarten art? Maybe even coupons.
Originally, my fridge was supposed to display absolutely nothing. What does that say about us? That I'm a neat freak? Probably. I made sure there was nothing on my fridge a magnet could stick to so I wouldn't collect a jumbled mess of trinkets on my fridge. Unfortunately, that plan recently went awry. Here's a closer look at what we've now got on ours...
Post-it Notes! And what does this say about us? Well, perhaps that we love food facts more than we love family photos. It also says, that Chloe is trying really hard to memorize how many carbs are in her favorite foods so she can bolus for them without looking it all up each time. So while we're on the steep learning curve, folks who come to visit us will get to enjoy valuable nutritional facts about our favorite things to eat! We call it
"Informational Food Art".
