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!

Between my husband’s work schedule, football coaching, my work schedule, family and friend events and appointments for our first baby who arrives in March we have a lot going on! I would LOVE a centralized message board to keep the month organized and clear for us to both see that actually is pretty enough to be left out for all to see!
Chris says
Our family would put this awesome calendar to good use! I work night shift and my husband works days. This would help keep all of us organized and aware of all of our schedules. Perfect!
Jenn says
This would make not only a perfect Birthday present for myself, but would help bring the chaos to an end in our home! With everything our daughter is involved in, to the activities we are involved in, and birthdays, etc, and chores, things we need..goodness, this could help bring everything together!!! 🙂
Lori says
This would be an amazing help!
Marian says
Two active teens and a lot of extracurricular actvities, plus a huge extended family, it’s a must have! One of those “why didn’t I think of that?” products!
Jennifer says
I would put this to work in my kitchen, where we all spend most of our time together as a family… It would be great to have this and be able to keep everything straight for once!! 🙂
Cheila Frayne says
With 5 busy kiddos…we would put this to good use.
Ann Pellegrino says
I would love this because each family member could add their own events and check out what’s going on. It would lead to more responsibility on my children’s part for their own calendaring.
Sandi Rasmusson says
LUV THIS! I can’t even count the ways I could use this calendar! All 3 boys in different sports this Fall, I own my own business~would be great to organize all my clients for easy access to see where I’m supposed to be! My husbands hunting trips, Fall Events, Fall hockey, Football, Fundraisers, church events, Birthdays, holidays, grocerys, cleaning schedule, Oh my goodness….this is a NEED! 😀
Sabrina says
this calendar is beautiful! It would look awesome in place of my paper calendar where I try to keep ahead of my 6 very busy kids’ schedules!
Michaela says
I am a mom of five and foster mom of one, so it’s a huge hassle trying to remember all the appointments! This would be such a help keeping everything in order!
Robin Riley says
I have 7 children, and am naturally a planner, so new calendars make me giddy! This one is beautiful and practical — would love to win it!
Rachael VanDyke says
With twins. A husband with 3 jobs and me going back to work We NEED this!
Becky says
My husband has a large extended family so we always have all kinds of events we are invited to. This calendar would help us keep those events organized so we always knew what was coming up!
katie d says
I would put this to use by finally having a place to put all our stuff!! Two work schedules, plus school and cheerleading and then you add social!! If I lost my job, my Gmail calendar would be lost!! And the hubby has no idea what’s going’m g on unless I tell him!! And this way he couldn’t complain about me not getting coffee… since he didn’t put it on the list. 🙂
Jessica Webber says
I would love love love this. I need to organize my house better with two different work schedules, daycare, holidays, birthdays, family events and other events. I space the simple things like bathing the dogs regularly and cleaning out my car. This would help my family immensely. I have a list a mile long and this would help cross a few things off. I just love it.
Barbara says
This would make my organizing of my Breast Cancer treatments and journey (appointments, tests , family schedules etc so much easier for me and for my husband to know how to help me!” Awesome idea!
Joyanna says
As a soon to be new mom this would come in super handy keeping track of my schedule, my husbands and of course new baby Cooper’s 🙂
Abby says
I would use this calendar to be a constant reminder for my husband, bless his heart, who just can’t remember ANYTHING unless I remind him 3-4 times a day. He is at home a lot because he is a farmer near our home, and I work out of the home. There are many tasks he could do for me every day in his down time (especially during the winter!), but he always forgets.
We could keep this in our kitchen, where he is sure to see it! The handy re-organizing properties would be especially useful.
Kelly D. says
I have 3 kids, ages 11, 8 and 4. I have a husband with a swing shift schedule AND I’m a full time Paralegal with a party business on the side. With all my kids sports and school events, my husband’s crazy schedule and my 2 jobs WE NEED THIS!
Amy Wigger says
I would love this. I have a 5, 3 and 6 month old. My youngest has pt and ot appointments which I have already lost track of because our schedule seems to just be getting crazier and crazier . We need more organization in our lives!!
Lori MC says
How could I use it? Having a new grand-daughter in the house that I am guardian for – I would put this calendar on my wall & put our school, work and extra curricular activity schedules on it! I could SO use this! (Hope I’m not too late to enter)
Theresa says
We homeschool. Enough said! 🙂 It would be great a chore calendar as well as just day-to-day activities for the kids. It would also be nice as a menu reminder in the kitchen. Maybe I need two! 🙂
Taylor says
My family is usually running in 47 different directions, so having something functional & pretty would be fantastic for me to keep track of everything & everyone and where & when we are supposed to be!
Erin says
I love this! I have to have a physical calendar for all my family events. When I make an appointment I do it standing in front of my calendar. I write things down immediately so as not to forget. I love the dry erase option b/c I hate a messy calendar. Thanks for the opportunity to win a great useful product!
heather says
my husband is out of town all of the time and this would definitely help keep track of our schedules!
Katy says
i love to plan!! This would be absolutely fantastic to use to keep track of my family’s schedule! We would hang it in our home and put it to GREAT use!
Karen says
We’ve got 4 kiddos and the perfect wall to put this on! I’d love to have it more visible for the kids, who can’t really access our family calendar on our phones well.
Sarah says
As a Mom of three girls, this calendar would truly come in handy! Rather than the school calendar & family calendar hanging at The Goetz Family COmmand Center I could use THIS ONE calendar for it all! There would be NO excuses as to where someone needs to be when!
Leslie Faistl says
I would love to have something like this to organize all 3 children and my husbands activities. Plus it is so pretty!
Cheri says
This is such an amazing invention! I so dislike turning the page on a calendar and being blind-sided by an important event at the first of the month that totally slipped my mind. This way I can easily see several weeks out and plan accordingly. LOVE IT!!!
Cristy says
I would put this bad boy to use right away! What a great way to consolidate everyone’s chores, plus grocery and to do lists, AND events coming down the pike!!! Love!
Melissa says
My husband and I could use this to communicate our schedules.
Kylene says
As a very busy individual keeping up with the multiple jobs I have, having this calendar in a central location of my house will be a HUGE help to keep up with my schedule. My little calendar I use now just can’t keep up with my on the go life. 🙂
Lauren says
I would use this in place of the yearly calendar we get every year. I LOVE that the weeks are separate so once the week is done you can erase and put it at the bottom! It looks very organized and put together. Looks a lot classier than the paper ones I buy. It would be great to display and goes with my house very nicely!
ShannonP says
This would be fabulous for us! With three kids, two parents with crazy schedules, being on the PTA board, and everyone’s activities, we have a hard time knowing who is going to be where when. I love streamlined organization tools that the whole house can use.
Misty says
this would be going up at my house on the wall I am a huge calendar freak 🙂
Betty says
This looks like a Menu Planner that i was hoping to make over summer break. Now that we’re all back to school, I am failing miserably at our meals. Ugh, this would soooo help me get our famiy dinnertime back on track! 🙂
Becca says
My husband is a teacher, so we could definitely use this calendar to keep track of his schedule!! 🙂 It looks fantastic!
tara says
Amazing! This would replace our traditional 4 week calendar…
