I have one that my aunt sent me that still cracks me up. It says, "carrot cake is a food group in this house," which in itself isn't that funny. But just that day my husband dropped his yearly "hint" that he wanted me to make carrot cake (his favorite cake) from scratch (I'm an awful baker), and my aunt doesn't normally just send me random magnets out of the blue (until Noe arrived, that is ;-)). So it was a totally serendipitous gift. Thanks for sharing! Those are hysterical Nicole! I have one that my aunt sent me that still cracks me up.

You can see it <a href="http://pinchmysalt.com/2007/01/16/calorie-free-cheesecakes/" rel="nofollow">here</a>, if you're interested. I love seeing what other people have stuck to their refrigerators! Hi Lia,

I can’t take a photo of my fridge because I’m traveling but I did write a post a while back that talks about some of my fridge magnets and what they mean to me. You can see it here, if you’re interested. I love seeing what other people have stuck to their refrigerators!

We have all read and enjoyed it and now we will go to all the back articles listed on your site. You are way too modest. Have a great rest of Summer. Chad and Staff.

I love how diverse everyone's fridge is. Foodette, you and your husband crack me up--that's exactly how Christopher and I are, only with the roles reversed. I remember when we first got married we had a row about where to keep the kitchen utensils--tongs and spatulas and spoons and the like. He wanted them in a drawer, hidden away; I wanted them in some kind of container on the counter so I'd KNOW what I had where. Ten years later, guess where they still reside? In a ceramic wine cooler (his, we compromised) right by the stove. ;-) Rosemary, I totally hear you on being able to keep a recipe clean! I bought a strip and magnets from IKEA and installed it just under my cabinets (this was one of those browsing-through-IKEA-with-no-purpose-when-you-have-a-stroke-of-genius moments), which I LOVE. Now I hang my recipes and menu for the week and any sort of prep lists I need right there, under my nose. Judy . . . you're totally right, what a classic snapshot of a house full of teenage boys! I can't wait until we can return those words to the fridge and Noe can start 'writing' poems with us. These are great! I love how diverse everyone’s fridge is.

But not till Noe's old enough not to put them in her mouth and swallow them. Oops, I just had another look at your photos and see that you already have the magnetic words - nice one!

Not sure why we need more than one. When the kids were little, the best things on the fridge were the magnetic numbers and letters, and later, the magnetic words - they spent hours making sentences and poems and sayings with them.
