I am orange.....

Great title eh? OK....I'm not REALLY orange. In this household though, my color is orange. We've had a family calendar up for years and I have decided for my sanity (and because it just looks so darn pretty) everyone would have their scheduled activities highlighted in a specific color. The kids can take a quick glance to see their commitments for the week without having to read every single entry (which on our calendar is a lot)!  It is also a good way to see who is just plain over scheduled.

Now I've taken the color coding and moved it into the fridge. I was getting tired of seeing 52,000 half-drunk bottles of water and no one knowing who they belonged to. I bought some colored stickers and told the kids to start marking their water bottles. Et voila.....less wasted water!
