For a while I have been meaning to either buy or make a Family Home Evening Board/chart so that my kiddos can know who is responsible for what on our FHE nights. It has been a little hairly lately since Jase is crunching for his game so our FHE night moves weekly, haha. Hopefully that will change soon!I decided to make one for myself. I went to Hobby Lobby and bought my wood, pegs and stars and picked out the colors I wanted to use.
I went online and ordered the vinyl lettering from a lady in Utah (go figure!!) and then one day Emmy and I proceeded to create our board!
I used the drill to make the holes for the pegs and the holes in the stars. My dad would have been proud, haha.
Emm and I then painted it two different shades of burgandy to give it the color that we wanted. I used the olive green color on the stars because I wanted them to accent the colors that I already have in my kitchen and living room on my window treatments.
In the end she and I were very happy with our end product and finished it off with a quick spray of lacquer(sp) which i did inside...not a smart move! It was too hot outside and I didn't want it to dry too fast or attract any little bugs which would have been immortalized on our FHE board forever, haha.
It was a fun project to do with Emily and I hope she had as much fun as I did making it. I will always smile when I look at it, remembering who I made it with and the fun we had. To me that only makes it more special.

I love it!! I need to make something like this but right now it is not going to happen. We just try to include Matthew in whatever we can.
That was us too. Then i finally figured they were getting old enough to start making a contribution. Although the lesson tends to be either Jase or I :)
Hey Deb, Love your blog and seeing how your little family is growing up so quickly.
I love that! I need to make me something like that. Maybe it would help us to remember to hold FHE regularly.
