I painted a small wall in my kitchen with chalkboard paint to leave messages and notes instead of using up paper. I personally can't wait to use it on the kids. You know, draw an arrow towards the sink to indicate the dirty dishes. Notes for them to pick up their underwear out of the bathroom, so their friends will see it. Don't forget to feed the dogs because lack of communication in this area means the dogs will get fed at least 3 times before 5pm. Just stuff like that and grocery lists, recipes, things to do, etc. etc. Thank You. Christina
