The June Chronicles was a spectacular success with a whole entry received.
LJ at With My Own Two Hands was kind enough to complete the linky but she counts as only 1/2 an entry as she did not in actual fact do any sort of post on the happenings on her fridge.
And sadly, as I am related to MultipleMum at And then there were four, her beautifully written, dare we say unputdownable fridge chronicle can really only counts as 1/2 an entry as well.
So, an entry, all totalled.
But, proof of how hard it is to keep a brilliant idea down, I'm dusting myself off, picking myself up and merrily presenting...
The July Chronicles
Here is the birthday invitation to Cappers' best (possibly only) friend in the world's birthday party later this month. It is true that she is not a child inundated with party invites. Why, just last week one of the Preschool Mum Brigade bemoaned the fact that her little girl had 27 parties to go to all in one morning. There is not a lot of bemoaning going on around here. Needless to say, we await the big event with pride.
Here is a photo of a photo of The Badoo at daycare with her 'gloves' on. Ever since this picture hit the fridge, she's insisted on wearing a pair of latex gloves that were, you know, just lying around. I have tried to tell her that the photo is of her very self, not in gloves but finger painting. But she's two and she wants the gloves.
You will notice that little Kingston, our 27 year old sponsor child from Malawi (for details, see The June Chronicles) has been covered up by a "Nuture your Friendships" card. This was accidental, but entirely symbollic. When, oh when, will we ever write back to the letter he sent us in 2004?
Here is a picture Maxi-Taxi drew for his mum of "siamese fighting fish and a scuba diver with a big knife." You will notice that the scuba diver has a speech bubble saying "I luv you mum". Maxi-Taxi produced this all on his own and every time I see it on the fridge I get a little tear. I don't know if this is because I am so proud of my boy or whether I am gripped by fear due to the love and the knife being in the same artwork. Either way, he's mine.
You can't see this on the larger picture above as it's lower than the camera captured, but Cappers stuck together a fairy for the fridge and as she managed the sticky tape all on her own, I thought it was worthy of a mention.
That's my fridge for July... so join the linky and share what's on yours. Linky open until the end of the month. Let's double last month's figures, people!

What an awesome idea! I wonder what anthropologists could learn from our fridges?
Can I play?
Can I come out to play to pls?
Play, play, play all day! Just the fact that you said you're going to has me all excited. And it's not just because there will be more than one entry in my sad little Chronicles, but rather that I am so completely interested in what's on other people's fridges and how they change from month to month!!
Oh, and I just realised my stupid linky thingy isn't even open until midnight. Will fix.
Can I pimp you on my blog, too? (gettin pushy here, I know, but I'm not a crazy cat lady, I swear)
I'd love to play, but I don't have a magnetic fridge. Which Hubby thinks is great, because he hated it when I used to stick all my stuff up on it. *I* liked it. I really did. I don't even have a pink board or anything!
But I will comment. I love all the stuff on your fridge. So much, I wish it was mine. *sob*
I would love to play - but we recently installed new stainless steel appliances and magnets no longer work! I miss my fridge happenings. :-(
oh linky is open...runs to her fridge to snap away lol...I love this idea....
I love seeing what's on other people's fridges. It tells so much, and I'm nosy I guess. ;) The artwork is adorable. I'll see if I can put together a post and join this month.
This is a great idea, and I would take part, but my fridge stays pretty much the same, its a little boring really. I will have to get lots of fun magnets and start displaying interesting and important stuff there, yours looks so interesting!
Awww, so cute. I have a timer for tea on my fridge, a fortune that says "You may live on the moon in the next century" (seriously it came out of a cookie), and a list of produce that should always be bought organic only.
No kids, can't you tell?
Phew. You already have other entries so I am off the hook this month. BTW I saw another similar linky thing happening in the blogosphere. Can't keep a good idea down huh!
thank you so much for visiting my blog! I love your idea and will take a photo soon....it's not so cute as yours...mine is full with barbie and pony magnets....pretty much pink; hope you'll have a great day!
I can't put magnets on my refrig, but I used to always have lots of pictures on my old refrigerator! Thank you for your comment today. I just wanted to say that we all need to enhance ourselves in different areas. I do too! :) Have a great night!
Mama Hen
I have a pap-smear reminder notice and 2 parking fines.... sigh
paintings and drawings and little pieces of paper someone cut up and felt very proud of. Plus pictures of the kids we sponsor. It's cluttered!
Spice magnets are on my fridge along with a ton of fingerprints (the joys of stainless steel) and a frog painting. Thanks for sharing your babes' adorable artwork! Thanks for your sweet comment on my faux zinc nightstand post. I just posted the tutorial a little bit ago. Thanks for finding my blog follow-worthy, too!
Have a great day,
Jami
P.S. I clicked on your other blog first and you cracked me up with, "I've been living on fat street for 20 years." I shot coffee out of mouth. Thanks for the laugh!
I'd love to take part - I really would. But our fridge is one of those integrated ones - hidden in a cupboard. It's so hidden that people come in and say - do you not have a fridge? like we're something out of the ark. I expect even Noah had a fridge.
When I used to have a fridge, we had a lot of those magnetic poetry word games. But my husband just kept making rude sentences. Gave him hours of laughs.
I like seeing yours though. The latex gloves and the finger painting is a classic.
Hi there! Have got your double pass to the Working Mums MASTERCLASS as the competition winner on Woogsworld. Let me know an email address to send them to.

what a gorgeous fridge and two gorgeous kids. finally popping over to say HI!
Hi,
What a fun idea! I don't have much, but willing to share what's on my fridge today.
Moving on august 6th so will have more to share next month, I'm sure.
Love the pic of the Badoo! What a sweetie! Birthday parties are overated (coming from one who has not had one since she was 10, and may or may not have a chip on her shoulder about the deficit...)Hahaha!! xo
K -- I have my fridge post up (which you have already commented on and THANKYOU because I would sell my tattered soul to Satan for a comment) and here is how to do captions.
Look at the code for your photo when you've uploaded it.
See how at the end it says BLOGGER ID big number /)(/a) except the brackets are actually the pointy ones but I cant use the pointy ones without this comment having a meltdown. So where you see ( ) substitute <> ok?
Between the /) and the (/a), you type this
(center)title of your caption(/center)
You can have spaces between the words of your caption, but make sure there aren't any next to the brackets.
I think it only works if you have your photos set to upload in the center position on your blog.
Have a play and see if it works.
What a great idea! I love it! I think I might play along too...
What an awesome idea!! I may just play along if I get to it but that is not bloody likely this weekend *sigh*
so happy you had lots of players this month. I am going to try and get there for your next one.
