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!

When I flip our calendar to the next month, I realize I have no idea what going on because it was not in front of me. Shifting the weeks is a great idea!
Liz G. says
This would be PERFECT for our family! My husband is a nurse in the military and has an ever changing work schedule that is so hard to keep up with if I am not using some sort of dry erase calendar because im always erasing and changing things around. Plus I have 3 children, one in preschool, one in elementary school, and one in middle school… it can be a scheduling nightmare at times! I would LOVE to win this calendar system, it would make life so much more simple or at least keeping up with life more simple 🙂

Wow! So pretty and functional. Love it! We have a busy family of six and a schedule that makes my head spin some days. Our four children have endless commitments…church, sport and school activities. My husband adds to the mix with the demands of his job in ministry…events, weddings, funerals, counseling, etc… I’ve tried other calendars and found they just didn’t work. I love the ability to customize this calendar with the removable strips!

Oh. My. WOOOOORRRRDDD!! I NEED this calendar!! I homeschool my 5 kiddos (ages 5-13) and we have recently added in a few things to our schedule this school year which has made life a tad bit more chaotic and I would LOVE a calendar like this to keep track (and that whole ‘see 6 weeks at a time? PURE genius.) I hope I win!!!!!!
Laura says
My calendar is on my phone, which is not helpful when my husband and I are trying to coordinate schedules. Eventually our little girl will be involved in things too. Winning this calendar would be fantastic as it will give us a central calendar and make life easier on all of us.
Jackie Stahrr says
Wow…thanks for the GIVEAWAY. In our house we have two special needs teenagers. The boys are in different schools…in fact two different school districts. The activities and events are conflicting. The boys are seen by 10 different specialist not to mention there pediatrician. They are not to big to take together because their wheelchair and walker do not fit on the elevators, and I cannot leave one on the ground floor and send the other twin up alone…so we are going separately to our appointments. I think we need a scheduler or at the very least a secretary. hehe This calendar would be very helpful for our busy family!!
