Ok, yes, it’s a lovely kitchen, it just happens to be slightly on the notreallymystyle side, and slightly on the reallyboring side. There is very little wall space, and I don’t like a cluttered counter-top. And you know me, I don’t like having items that are purely for decorating purpose; they must pull their weight!

Enter LobotoME. This product does a heap-load of weight-pulling by organizing my life! I am a busy bee: volleyball on Mondays, dinner with friends on Tuesdays, softball on Fridays, wakeboarding on Saturdays, and a myriad of odds-and-ends activities to fill my week to avoid having to sit down. Cooking dinner when I get home from said activities feels like I’m getting my teeth pulled without novocaine. I can’t stand it. BUT – LobotoME has cured me!

I’ve found that the root of the problem is having to come up with meals on the fly. I’m now using LobotoME’s “Meal Planning 101″ organizer to plan my meals ahead of time. I’m saving time, I’m whining less and spending less moolah at the grocery store with this organized list. Now, the teeth-pulling has transformed to a little arm-wrestling match between hubby and me; winner doesn’t have to cook. *wink*

With it’s contemporary design {LOVE the colors}, this is truly form meets function in my kitchen! {I have it on a mini clipboard I purchased at Longs for $2, with mod podged scrapbook paper. Oh, and what isn’t cute on a hook?} LobotoMe has other really great organizational pads {packing lists for trips, babysitter lists, honey-do lists} that are printed on recycled paper and are sold at The Container Store and on the LobotoME website.

And because I like things in pairs, I hung a framed print from 3-Lambs Graphics above my life-saving grocery list.

I think this print is so stinkin’ cute. It would have looked really cute in a sleek white frame, but I’ve got enough of those around the house, and my boring kitchen could use all the oomph it can get. There are some other really great prints at 3 Lambs Graphic’s shop {I love this one}.

And lastly, you may remember the chalkboard on the door from an earlier post. This is a vinyl decal that you can use as a chalkboard. I put it on the door because: A. That’s where I’ll see it, B. My hubby might actually read it there, C. It’s reminiscent of the frame on the door on Friends. {found at Paper Source for $6.95}
