Do you have those nice little ref magnets? What are they holding right now? your children's report cards? some bills? postcards from friends? maybe your grocery list? Do you collect them or were they given by friends? I have three magnets left on my ref--a smiley face button type, a shrek photo magnet and a chocolate chip cookie magnet. They look so lonely as nothing is posted there. I miss those days when my daughter was still a toddler and she would post some notes saying 'I love you, mommy' with some drawings and the like.. plus those art works she's done in school. Thank you in advance. Happy mylotting!

Hi Jo. Having to take them off and then putting them back there could be quite tiring at times. Thanks for your response. Take care.

I used to have a ton of magnets on the refrigerator, but when my son was 3, he ate a magnet, granted not from the magnets off the refrigerator. So to be on the safe side, I took them all off, and just haven't put any back on there. Though, he's 6 and half now, he's got an 18 month old sister who will eat anything so, instead of having to take her to the ER for x-rays and possible removal, i'll play it safe and keep all of them off the refrigerator so she don't get any brilliant ideas to take after her brother, lol.

Hi Jae. Your story reminded me of what happened to my brother when he was 4. He ate a lego piece and had to undergo all those medical works. We really have to be on the lookout at all time when we have kids around. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day ahead!

No, I don't have any but my daughter-in-law has them all over the place, with the little bits you mention, relating to the kids. I miss them too... of course, I had them when the kids were around but all I have now is a shopping list pad on a hook! lol, and a few fridge magnets from the USA. Brightest Blessings.

I have four clip magnets on my fridge. They hold my kids' drawings. One for each kid, and they can change what they have hung as they wish.

I have quite a few magnets on my fridge right now. One of the magnets which is very special to me is my fiancee and I's save the date magnet for our wedding. It has 4 of our engagement pictures on it along with the date to be saved :-) I also have a friends save the date magnet on my fridge. Other fun magnets I have are some my students gave me, an angel magnet my lil sister gave me 7 years ago, ben and jerrys ice cream magnets, etc. etc. I have quite a few, so I tend to rotate them and not keep them all out at the same time. I also have my grocery pad that has a magnet on it. I have one of those for every season and holiday. lol

we've got two magnets on our refrigerator and they are holding some of our pictures... we used to have ten magnets before but we decided to remove the eight magnets as they look kind of messy..

Hi elmolovesu! I have a couple of magnets. I use them to hold up projects my children have done and monthly calendars the school sends home. I used to have several but I have downsized.

We have fourteen magnets stuck on the ref right now. There's a couple of red round ones that hold some receipts. There are also miniature of different fruits that keeps my little brother's notes and cards from school and a few pictures. Some of them are souvenirs from our travels. Magnets are very useful and decorative too. There are times that we don't have anything to stick with it so instead we played around with it. At one point they are all lined up and sometime they form a circle. But whatever we do with it they are just there waiting for the important things to hold for us.

Right now I have 6 mangents on my fridge. They are all places that I have visited over the years. They are not holding anything up, I guess they are there for decoration. But growing up my mom always had the fridge filled with pictures from me and my sister or little reminders or phone numbers.
