If you've been following along with my blog for a while, you might know that my kids recently started sharing a room. With this new arrangement, we decided to give their combined space a fresh look—on a budget. It all began with a room inspiration board we created, followed by some key projects like these DIY pallet beds. The full reveal is coming soon, but today I wanted to share one of my latest creations and the kids' favorite item in their room: the magnetic chalkboard! It's super easy to make and the kids absolutely adore it. I initially planned to make this board about six feet tall, but since sheet metal was a bit pricier than expected, I opted for a pre-cut piece that measured 2 feet wide by 4 feet tall instead. It turned out to be the perfect size for the kids—it’s sturdy, big enough to serve as a free-standing item, and just the right scale for their shared bedroom. To create this project, you'll need the following materials: a 2-foot by 4-foot sheet of sheet metal, a 2-foot by 4-foot sheet of lauan plywood, strong adhesive (like Liquid Nails), primer spray paint for metal, chalkboard spray paint, 1-inch by 2-inch trim cut into four pieces (two at 4 feet and two at 20 inches), and a few small screws. Everything, except what we already had at home, was purchased from Lowe's and delivered pre-measured and cut. First, Brayden helped me spray-paint the sheet metal. We started with a coat of primer on a sunny day to ensure each layer dried quickly. Once the primer was dry, we applied two coats of chalkboard spray paint. For the next steps, we roped Daddy into helping—mostly because I was pregnant and needed to sit down for a few photos. We applied glue to the plywood board and placed the sheet metal on top, spray-painted side facing up. Next, we glued trim pieces around the edges of the sheet metal where they would overlap and secured them in place with screws after drilling holes through the trim and sheet metal. Voilà ! Here's the completed magnetic chalkboard—a solid, stable, and free-standing piece that's easy to move around yet durable enough to withstand the antics of children. The kids absolutely love it, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. They're having so much fun with it, and it's become a cherished part of their room. It's a win-win situation all around. As I wrap up my time in Boston, I'm looking forward to heading back home to my little ones and the man who shares my life under the same sky, even when we're miles apart. My hotel bed is calling my name, and I have an early wake-up tomorrow to catch a flight home. Follow along more closely during my travels or any special moments by connecting with me on Instagram. You can find me @TabithaBlue—I'd love to meet you there!

There is no doubt that solar monitoring has brought great convenience to people. It saves a lot of manpower and material resources without having to stick to the post for 24 hours as before. Not to mention that the current surveillance cameras have the function of motion detection. As long as someone enters a certain range, it will automatically alarm and capture the scene. What is the function of the solar monitoring system?

1. Solar panel: The solar panel is an important part of the mobile phone software of the solar power generation system, and also a part of the practical value of the mobile phone software of the solar power generation system. Its function is to convert the professional ability of radioactive substances in natural light into electric energy, or send them to storage batteries, or promote load work.
2. Solar controller: The solar controller is used to control the operation of mobile phone software in all systems, and has the functions of overcharge protection and overcharge maintenance for the battery. In areas with large temperature difference, the qualified controller shall also have the function of temperature compensation. In the mobile phone software of the solar road lamp system, there must be light control switch and time control solar road lamp operation.
3. Battery: generally valve controlled maintenance free lead-acid battery. In the mobile phone software of small and medium-sized systems, in cold weather areas, a solar gel battery needs to be configured, which can be used at low temperatures, with high efficiency and is not vulnerable to major damage. Its function is to store the electric energy of the solar panel when the sun shines, and then release it under certain conditions.
4. Variable frequency power supply: split wave type and sine wave type. In order to provide power for 220VAC electrical products, it is necessary to convert the DC stabilized voltage power supply in the solar power generation system software into AC circuit energy, so DC AC variable frequency power supply is required.
