Steph wrote in to tell us about these stylish and simple dry erase boards she created for her family. They are what she calls "family goal boards" and we think they're a terrific idea.

Everyone has goals for their family ranging from small to big. Maybe you want to run more or read more. Maybe your kids want to learn to ride a bike or go into the ocean for the first time. Whatever your goals, it's good to write them down in a place that you can see them. Steph made these simple silhouettes for each family member and then framed them behind glass. A pretty bowl of dry erase markers kept nearby and you're always at the ready to jot things down. For detailed instructions on how to make this yourself, check out Modern Parents Messy Kids.
