Pinners anonymous

Like most people in America right now, we are addicted to Pinterest.  Thats right, I said WE.  I've been on it for a while but I recently encouraged Ben to check it out so he could promote Fridge Coaster.  He secretly loves it.  He started out just pinning Fridge Coaster pictures but its gone way beyond that.  Check out our boards here & here and if you like what you see go ahead and become a follower :)  Here are some of our favorite pins so far...............

We've come along way: 2011 recap

2011 was a year of tremendous growth for Fridge Coaster.  My husbands idea evolved from weekly trips to Lowe's, Home Depot, Sears & local appliance stores to test fit the product and get the sizing absolutely perfect.  So much R&D that he was known as "that Fridge Coaster guy" at our local Lowe's. To an actual prototype that we could feature and test with a wide audience.  We participated in various shows and festivals, including the Herndon Festival and Market Day at Baxter Village, to get the product in people's hand and get constructive feedback from our customers.  We really listened and from there we introduced exciting patterns and colors to our coasters.  We were lucky enough to make contact with some national retailers and pitch our product; news on that front to be announced soon :). We also launched our online store, www.fridgecoaster.com, where customers can customize what color combination they want in their fridge.  Below is a photo timeline of 2011......

2012 is off to a great start and we can't thank everyone enough that has participated in our start up.  The support is truly overwhelming and we appreciate everyones contributions!!  This is just the beginning. Exciting things are happening so stay tuned........

Nice to meet you

Hi.  We are the husband & wife team behind Fridge Coaster.  My husband came up with idea for Fridge Coaster after we had our first baby.  Frankly, he was sick of scrubbing milk rings off the refrigerator shelves left behind from baby bottles.  Two years later his innovative idea has come to fruition and we've added another baby to the mix.
This blog is our (my) creative outlet.  We are self proclaimed "do-it-yourselfers" who love doing projects around the house and making it our own.  We will post everything from exciting Fridge Coaster updates to what inspires us to whats going on at home.  Please follow us on this exciting journey as we start our new business and raise two energetic boys!

This picture was taken about a month ago on vacation and our newest addition was still cookin'.

What the heck is a Fridge Coaster?

Welcome to our blog.  You're probably wondering what in the world a Fridge Coaster is? Well, it's the latest and greatest time saver.  Fridge Coasters have been custom fit to go inside your refrigerator door shelves, crisper bins or directly on the shelf to absorb all that condensation, grime and build up that happens over time.  What does this mean for you?  No more scrubbing your refrigerator.  Once your Fridge Coasters have handled all they can; simply toss them in the recycling bin and replace them with a new pack.  No scrubbing or cleaning.  In addition to the functionality they will make you happy.  We offer a variety of prints and colors that will liven up your fridge.  We like to call it "fashion for your fridge".
