the fridge list was a common family thing and still is in some families.
as is/was the chalk/blackboard/whiteboard by the door.
they were semi-brought back by companies selling stylish blackboard and whiteboard wall and fridge decals, and fancy paints for the same. pinterest if full of blackboard vinyl wall decals that look like just about anything you can think of…
i personally like the magnetic paper vertical list pads.
they still end up with silly drawings and love notes and other memos on them that make them a more “organic” less rigid experience than a typical digital list.
nothing takes the anger off finding your ice-cream eaten than a note with a heart apologizing and promising to come home with more.
