Since moving into our new house, one of the things I knew I needed to create was a command center for the kids. My oldest thrives on a structured routine with lots of positive reinforcements. If I don't have a space to organize all of that it becomes much harder for me to create that kind of environment for him. We use this space for behavior charts, chores, a weekly calendar, other school calendars, the kids art work, and also a space for the boys to "cool off". The space it mostly used for Hudson, who is five, but as Max and Piper get older we can incorporate more for them as well. You can find more details about the space and how I created it below.

Playroom

We recently moved some things around in the house so that we could make Hudson a playroom. I started painting it last night and can't wait to finish getting it all put together. I saw this picture and it inspired me to do a chalkboard wall in the room. I also used magnetic paint on the bottom half of the chalkboard wall so that he can put all of his magnets on the wall. You can find both paints at Home Depot. The magnetic paint is a bit pricey, but one can covers 16 square feet. You have to paint 3 thin coats and continuously stir the paint as it settles quickly.
