Are there magnets? Papers clipped? Important reminders? Letters from your kids? Your shopping list? Do share ;)
Well, we have lots of magnets on the door of our fridge. And those magnets are remembrances from all the places we've been to.. singapore, kuala lumpur malaysia, my mom who's been to china, uzbekistan, sydney and melbourne australia ;)

We've got a lot of magnets with telephone numbers of different necessary firms (like fridge repairer or taxi driver). There are also several pictures of my family. I've bought special stickers which are magneted on the fridge and you can stick a photo on it. There are also magnet toys specially to magnet on the refrigerator. Our child always grasps them when we approach the fridge together.

I have many items on my refrigerator. The most important item is a list of emergency telephone numbers, so nobody is wasting time finding them. I think everyone should have one when somebody else is watching your child(ren).
Some of the other items are a notepad to leave notes for other members of the household. This means I don't worry when my daughter knows she is going to come home late from college. I have lots of magnets from many different vacations over the years. One unusual item is a needle and thread, which is great when a button is loose and I'm in a hurry.

Cool! Wish I could travel that far too. :) Well, our fridge's door has magnets on it too. My sister and I are living in an apartment with 5 other boarders. He owns the fridge that's why it's his magnets that are on its door. But aside from that, electric and water bills are also magnetized there so we would all be reminded of the payments we have for this month. :)

I don't have no magnets on my door of frig but on the side of frig. Don't like things on door cause they fall off all of the time when open the door. Not much for a cluttered front door of fridge.

Oh yeah, that's true.. some of them fall off easily especially when their magnets aren't that strong ;)

We keep a small whiteboard which has a shopping list on our fridge, as well as recipes we are planning to make, coupons, the weekly menu and a little note that says when our library books are due.
It's a busy surface.

He he, that's a good question. I have a ton of magnets. I also have a magnet memo pad that I write things I need on. I have made some of my own magnets, or have bought other handmade ones. I tend to collect them. Some of them have faded because the sun shines on them during the summer.

I have a large calander that everyone is required to put appointments and things so that we can keep straight who needs to be where and when! With two teenagers and my husband and I it gets very hectic at times. There is nothing worse than to suddenly realize that you are supposed to be two places at once when you come home from work! Also, that is the only way that I have found to not forget all those dental and doctor appointments!

When my daughter still lived at home not only the door but every other exposed space was usually filled with the pictures she would draw, attached with a very large collection of magnets, lol. It also contained out emergency numbers and other reminders of what we needed to do for the following weeks, grocery store coupons I didn't want to forget to take with me, and of course, the most recent coupons or menus for our favorite restaurants.:)
Since my daughter has her own place now, most of her pictures have been replaced with more of my motivational magnets like the one in my Be A Winner discussion and some of the more comical dieting reminders like the one I've attached for your amusement. You can find a few more of my refrigerator art pics in my profile, if you're ready to be amused, lol.:)

I have a calendar on the side of my fridge which contins everything I need to remember but can't without the aid of paper. I also have a really cool magnet I picked up last summer when I was in Cape Clear. It's hand painted and a big, gorgeous lighthouse.

We have a lot of those clippy magnets for restaurant/grocery coupons. And, we have a dry-erase board that we write on when we realize we're out of something/need something. We also use smaller magnets to put up recent pictures of ourselves, friends, and family before we move them to an album.
So, in essence, our refrigerator acts as a reminder board, a savings board, and a photo board.

We have several magnets on our fridge. We have magnet picture frames with pictures of our baby and our two nieces.
We also have a shopping list and another notepad on the fridge. We have a babysitter checklist that includes important numbers and stuff, too. It has blanks to fill in with numbers where we will be that day and what the number is and when we will be expected to return. That way when we have a babysitter the information is always central and easy for them to find.
