Parenting Must-Have: A Fridge You Can Write On

Posted by Karen Murphy

dry erase refrigeratorI'll be the first to admit: I hate clutter. Having three kids in the house, especially one who likes to throw things and dump things and generally move things about, I am sensitive to clutter. I pick it up several times a day. Short of renting out my kids, how to achieve a minimalist, adult look in a small home that contains children?

Let's address the kitchen. You all know what I am taking about, and I for one am so done with the papers-and-artwork-stuck-to-the-fridge-with-magnets look. Which is why I need, and likely you need as well, Aquarela, the Dry Erase Refrigerator. Ever so much better than Magnet Poetry, the Dry Erase fridge will also curb anyone's ideas about drawing on the walls, because here! you! can! draw! on the fridge!

Of course, those colorful markers could be used other places as well, which wouldn't be so good, but I think there's something satisfying about being able to just erase the day's masterpieces and start over fresh the next day.

So what if these only seem to be available in Brazil: an idea that's ahead of its time like this will surely spread to the Giant Home Store near you soon.

... and then you get to explain to the parents of your kid's friend why your kid was drawing on their fridge with a marker...

I hate to say it but in college we kept up with grocery money on the fridge using a regular old dry erase marker.  I realize that it probably wouldn't work on stainless steel, but the standard white job will take a regular dry erase marker just like a marker board.  When it got a pink residue from the red marker we just used windex to clean it.  Damn, should of patented it then

It has taken me years to get rid of 50% of my physical junk.  And I find I don't miss it one bit.  The manufacturing guys over at Evolving Excellence also commented on home clutter this weekend.
