As a mom, I feel like my voice is silent – even when I am shouting.
{oh….do I shout? – kindly, I’m sure =)}
I like to think that small messages get noticed.
Like this one in our hallway.
I painted the center of this shipping crate lid in chalkboard paint and stained over the frame that had over-spray of paint and some stamped words saying –
USE OTHER SIDE.
USE OTHER SIDE.
I like the “roughness” of the frame. There’s even a hammered dent in the center.
(somebody got a hold of my tools)

But I like the simple words the best.

One of my favorite quotes is from a song by Jewel, \”In the end, only kindness matters.\” I love this idea for a quote on a chalkboard. Very nicely done!
Kindness matters more everyday, it's nice to have a reminder of that. I love chalkboards, must be the teacher in me.Have a great weekend.xoxo Michelle. thebashfulnest.blogspot.com
Kindness does matter. I told my hubby that if I die I would hope the one thing people would remember is that I tried to always be a kind person- xo Diana
Nice!!! Like the simplicity of the sentiment. Kindness does matter. I think we are all guilty of forgetting it at times :-(Have a wonderful weekend Holly. Hugs,Gee
Love your chalkboard! Your lettering looks great…and the sentiment is perfect!
What a wonderful quote and perfect on your pretty chalkboard!
Two words that say so much! I love it!
IT SURE DOES! A while ago, my kids were being so unkind I started to worry. Was I modeling this meanness? I put so many reminders to \”Be Kind\” around our house we couldn't move without seeing one. I love yours! Sometimes the simplest messages are the ones that stick! xoxo jules
The phrase on here is perfect. Love it!!!Cynthia
I'm a firm believer in instilling life's lessons in children and this is an awesome way to do it.Judy
Jewel is still one of my favs. I know that song – love it. Thanks for reminding me of that tune. I will try to keep it stuck in my head,
I know you are kind – you will always be remembered as kind, fun and happy by me. Don't go anywhere, though. Blogland loves you!
Darn right it does!Bliss
That was a great way to reuse the bottom of a crate! I love the simple message. Good idea. Now, when your kids are fighting, you can just point to the sign and make them read it again. LOL!
