UPDATE: This giveaway is now closed.
Congrats to Michelle (shellysmith@…) and Becky (rlf102@…)
Now that school is in FULL swing again, I’m wondering if any of your schedules are feeling overloaded?
If you’re like Dave and me (and we only have one child) you were rudely interrupted from your glorious summer break and forced back into the strict school schedule — life is rough, isn’t it 🙂
If you feel like your family’s schedule is out of control…let me take 10 minutes to introduce you to the Calendars & Chores Etsy Shop.
With a name like Calendars & Chores, I feel like the products are pretty self-explanatory — HOWEVER, the super cool thing about all of Jen Peterson’s calendars, chore charts, and to-do lists is that they are ALL magnetic and they are ALL dry/wet erase. This means no paper waste and no need to purchase refill pages or duplicate calendars every year.
.
And while all the Calendars & Chores products are fun and fabulous, the product I’m most excited to share with you today is the Large Magnetic Dry/Wet Erase Calendar.
Isn’t it pretty?
I have a feeling this calendar just might be able to help with some of your family scheduling woes… keep reading to learn more!
What makes THIS calendar different?
This calendar is so much different than other Dry Erase calendars because the weeks are separated and can easily be moved — so you can always plan 5-6 weeks ahead (and you all know how much I love planning ahead!). When the top week is over, you simply erase it, pull it up, and move it to the bottom of the calendar. You then move the other weeks up and you’re ready to plan some more.
This means you’ll never get to the end of your calendar AND you’ll never have to go out and buy another calendar!
And for those of who you live and die by the calendar on your phone, I can speak from experience that it’s still really nice to have one big family calendar in the home to keep everyone on their toes.
A few more details:
Each magnetic calendar kit comes with 6 weeks of separate strips for weekly planning. It also comes with one “days of the week” strip and all 12 months as separate magnetic strips.
Each piece is completely backed with a quality magnet.
Each calendar comes in a variety of colors and fonts.
Each calendar comes with a choice of frame color. The finished product is 27.5″ x 23.5″.
BONUS: each calendar will automatically come with a “memo” strip with the following categories: Upcoming Events, Grocery List, To Do List, Notes
So this calendar really does have EVERYTHING to help you get and stay organized (at least when it comes to your schedule!) Plus, it looks fabulous hanging on your wall!

Grand Pam says
I would give these to my daughter and my daughter -in-love who mother my seven granddaughters. With Christmas coming what a great gift these would be. Thank you for devising them.
Kristina Mae says
Well lets see… I am a Mother of a 7 month old, wife of a Seminarian,Home Daycare provider, volleyball coach, 31 Gifts Consultant… I always try different calendars, but I have yet to find the PERFECT calendar for my busy life, maybe this is the one 🙂
julie says
i would love to hang this in our home to try and keep track of everybody’s activities. 3 kids – 2 of them in jr high so it’s always busy 🙂
catherine says
We are a family of three, soon to be four. This calendar would really help keep us organized with appointments, chores and other things going on!
Karen says
Softball, religion, dance, gymnastics, volunteer at school, dr. appointments, ON And ON AND ON… Calendar would help keep me sane!! Thank you.
H. Fieger says
This would be great for meal planning alone. I love it and the fact the weeks are in “strips” makes all the difference in the world. That is what has always held me off from dry-erase calendars- not being able to plan ahead. Perfect solution!
Kristi Felkner says
Wow this is a beautiful calendar. I would love to have this 🙂
Michelle says
With 4 children (each in 2 activities) attending 2 different schools (with their own hot lunch schedules, etc) a calendar like this would go a LONG way in keeping us organized. And I absolutely love the fact that the “weeks” are seperate magnets … brilliant!
And being erasable, I would be comfortable having my older chidlren start to add some of their own events without worrying about them “messing up” anything since it would be easy to fix!
JJ says
We need this so badly .My granddaughter, husband and 2 beautiful great granddaughters moved in with us! I am also raising my grandson(15) so things are hectic but beautiful!!! Between band practice,soccer practice and gymnastics…we need some organization.! This calendar is awesome one of the best I’ve seen!
Peitra says
I’d use it to keep track of my family’s activities!
Carly says
I love these! So much prettier than the paper calendar I have now! It would be great for helping to remember all the things my 3 kids have to do!
Jacqueline says
I am a homeschool mom of three and would love this calendar! Thank you for the opportunity to win one.
kathy says
I would use this calendar to keep track of activities and (of course) chores. I’ve been printing a chore chart every few weeks, but I’m woefully behind and every day I have to remember who is supposed to be doing what. With this cool calendar, I could just move the past week to the bottom and no need to waste paper. And it will be easy to add additional one time or daily chores in. I hope I win!
Lisa says
This would be wonderful to keep our family of 6 organized with all of our different school and church events. Love that it is functional yet still looks nice in your home.
Danielle says
This would be a great tool for planning my kindergartner’s lunches, keeping track of doctor’s appointments, and would maybe, finally, inspire my husband to write down when we’re out of milk!
Audrey says
We are just about to have our 3rd baby boy! My two older boys have just started after school sports and activities and this would sure help me stay organized and not miss anything!
Nikol says
This is a great tool to teach my children to start filling in the calendar themselves! If they make a mistake, no biggie!
Pam says
We’ve been struggling the last several months, since I went back to work part time, on how to keep everything organized and remember who needs to be where/when to pick up our daughter. We’ve tried everything from daily paper print outs (which is a waste!) to syncing phones (when we remember). This would be PERFECT for our new hectic life. Pick me! Pick me!!
Susan M says
This is genius! I love the movable strips! Why haven’t I thought of this? Awesome! Hope I win, hope I win, hope I win! 🙂
Bonnie says
Wow! This calendar would be a TREMENDOUS help to this full time working mom of 4 boys, who just happens to be a planning fanatic!
Rachel says
This would be great to streamline everyone’s activities-see it in one place!
Audra says
I would love love love this. It is exactly what I have bee looking for and do not have to flip pages!!!
Charity says
This would be wonderful for our family. My current system includes a paper calendar, the calendar in my phone, random sticky notes here and there, etc. This would be great to keep everything organized in one place for our family! Currently nesting with baby #2 and would love to get more organized before he arrives:)
Jamie says
Have 2 kids and twins on the way this would be awesome for all the activites and appts we have!
ashley says
I would love this for menu planning!
Dinah says
I would give this to my daughter. She needs it for three kid’s schedules and her many doctor’s appointments.
Melissa says
I would use this calender in our little office space for our family farm. keep track or apple orders and farm help, oh the many things that need to get done in the orchard.
Cherie says
I think this is great!! It would help me keep track of which daughter is working at what time and when I’ll have my granddaughter. Very well thought out!!!
Susan says
I have a full time job and also sell Pampered Chef and I need a calendar that I can use to keep me on track. I use other calendars and planners but it would be nice to rid the paper clutter that keeps piling and quit spending time going through piles. Make my life simpler.
Savannah says
We need a big calender like this! My husband and I work different schedules that sometimes overlap and it would be a great thing for him to see before he walks out the door! Where I will be, where our daughter will be and if he needs to pick her up! The phone calender is great but this is so much easier to see!
Jody says
This would be a great tool to use in helping get my 2 year old ready for preschool in the a.m. Letting her see each night what’s expected of her the next morning on the calendar and hoping for a smooth transition into the day.
Jen says
I’m trying to organize my ‘command center’ in my kitchen. This would be an awesome addition! 🙂
Michelle says
This would be perfect to replace our paper calendar in our kitchen and that can wipe off easily to change something. We are constantly scratching something out and writing in new events.
Katie says
I would love to hang the calendar in our office. It would help us all get on the same page!
Angela Musk says
Would LOVE this big, easy to use calendar! Would be perfect in our kitchen!
Megan says
I keep the family calendar primarily in my head- getting it out and onto this magnetic calendar would really help my poor hubby, who has to come to me all the time and ask “what is it we had planned this weekend?”
Laura says
We LOVE using a big calendar to keep everyone on the same page, and this would look fab in our kitchen!
Erin says
To keep track of all our family activities!
Jamie says
I would use this calendar to keep track of everyone’s schedule
Kelly says
I’d love to use this calendar to keep track of my 4 kids’ games and school activities in a central location!!
