Menus to make hubby drool when he gets home |
My Favorite Use |
I used to entertain a lot, so I nag ask people to write their names on board. I upload the picture as the cover on the party album on Facebook and tag everyone.
It is always funny to see what people write. The above picture is from my husband and I’s birthday party- “Happy 41st Bday Nick” lol, he is not quite there yet. It is a nice memory to have and was an unintended use for the board that I ended up loving!

The board also is used for reminders- like “pick up milk” or I love you notes. (we will keep the mundane and mushy stuff to ourselves though ๐
Upkeep–
For cleaning you need to scrub with water and soap. I try not to leave chalk on it too long or I will notice a light fading. I have read other bloggers repaint theirs’ often, which is an option as well. But I have found with scrubbing and not leaving the chalk on to long, that after two years, I have not needed to repaint.
Just recently, I discovered these Chalk Markers:
I love them! I always hated the powder of chalk and these go on smooth like a marker. You can see the difference in the pictures, the last picture (caprese salad) was done with chalk markers, the others were not and are all powdery.
However, I have noticed that the writing is very difficult to remove, so I may have a repaint soon in future! Pick them up at Amazon or JoAnn’s (my Michael’s did not have it)
Please let me know if you have any questions and as usual, if you like what you see, I would love a pin and/or a comment!
