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!

I am a very busy Mother of 4! My youngest 2 are 10 months apart! Something is always going on! This calender would be a great resource in keeping our life a little neater:) Also I am pretty sure it would be easy for the big girls to use as well! All 4 of our children require special medical attention, so between weekly appointments, weekly physical and occupational therapy, extracurriculars, Awanas, small group, Church, and our love to bake and deliver meals to those inneed, we would certainly utilize this to the max:) (and its super cute unlike most:)
Charlene Uchtman says
I would hang this in our planning center so we would all be on the same “page”.
Kate says
This would be so incredibly helpful in keeping dr. Appts, work schedules, sitter schedules, swim lessons,home business events and church events in order all in one place! I love it!
Lacy Trembly says

April Garff says
I just made a command center for my house with no calendar because I thought I’d use my phone…well, you’re right , it would be nice to have a hard copy to keep an eye on events and such!
Jamie Johnson says
This calender would be fantastic for our family! I have two children in preschool, myself in nursing school, and a husband who works six days a week! We also need to add in church serving duties, AWANA nights, gymnastics schedule, specialists doctors appointments (one hearing impaired child, one with chronic lung disease, and both have cerebral palsy), and my clinical schedule. This would be great for my husband to know where we are and when, what we need to do at church that weekend, and keep track of kids’ appointments.
Jessica R says
I would use this calendar to coordinate my husband’s full time school schedule, my full time work schedule, church events, dinners and family events PLUS all of the happenings that come along with having a SECOND baby!! 🙂

My husband and I both work full time and trying to keep track of 3 kids can be crazy. This would be great!

Being a single mom, just getting my life back together after divorce and cancer diagnosis/treatment, I could so use this calendar to get my daughter and I organized so that I don’t forget appointments and deadlines. Thank you
Amanda Collicker says

Super cool – so functional and cute as well.

Tiffany Smith says
As a mother of 2, ages 10 and 3, a licensed Childcare provider and full time college student this calendar would be PRICELESS!!!! What a great layout and concept! It made me think, “Why didn’t I think of that?! Thanks for posting about it. If I don’t win one I may have to start saving for one….it could replace a student planner, daycare calendar, bills planner, kids activities calendar, not to mention my on-going “to do list/grocery list” notebook! 🙂
Carrie says
I don’t have a central calendar in our house and would love this one so everyone can keep up with what is going on!

A beautiful calendar would be so nice in my home! I always use the free ones from my insurance agent. They are not very pretty, so I do not have them in view which causes me to forgot some things!
I would definite hang one of these beauties in my office right next to my desk!
Katie V says
I love this calendar! We have too many places where we write our to do’s, appointments, Birthdays, etc. that things are getting missed. It would be nice to have one central location for everyone to see.
kami says
I would use it for menus! thanks for the giveaway!
Chelsea M says
Hi! I’m trying to balance planning playdates, appointments, gym time, me time and family time and I always seem to be forever disorganized. I think these are very pretty and decorative and the dry erase makes it so convenient and easy to keep the schedule up-to-date! Thank you!
Denise G. says
I so need this! In addition to school, my 2 kids are heavily involved in competitive dance with totally different class and competition schedules. This would be a dream come true!
Davina Sanchez says
My kids always “forget” they have chores. With this calendar, I don’t have to give them a list every day yet they will have no reason to say, “Sorry Mom, I forgot.”
Allie says
I would use it as a family organization tool combining homeschool and household chores in one place.
Dorcas says
Meal plans and appointments!
Monica says
Single Mom; 3 kids; 3 jobs…need I say more!?!?!? 🙂
Lauren says
I’d love one of these calendars!!
Dianne Medeiros says
I have been looking for a calendar like this. There are 6 of us, so I would use it for EVERYTHING. I have a dedicated wall in my kitchen for a calendar and my children enjoy using dry/erase which means they can help fill in the important dates…which is usually 2-3 per day. If it fits, I would also add breakfast, lunch & dinner so the family knows what they are eating… I would be so excited and thankful to win this 🙂 It would be used ASAP, that’s for certain!!
Heather G says
I would love to use this calendar in my home. It would make it so much easier to combine my schedule and my husbands. I think it would also help my 2 year old begin to know her days of the weeks and know which days we have something planned.
Shan says
I would love to use this calendar in our home! With being a full time mommy, part time elementary school sub, and hubby working 14 hour days this schedule solution would be AMAZING!!!

A family calendar has been on my list of pinterest things to make…and it hasn’t gotten done! This would be great to have for our family!! Especially after my iPhone calendar disappeared when my iPhone died 2 weeks ago!
Christine E. says
I’m living in the club sandwich generation. I really need this!
Tara says
This calendar is perfect. I have long searched for a great calendar to combine all of our family activities. Would love to win this one!
Lora says
work, playdates, meals! This would be great!
Lindsey says
We are building a new home and have planned for a special “message center” and this would be perfect there! It’s hard keeping track of the family schedule and I like to see it written down rather than in a phone calendar 🙂 I am going to be going back to school and this will help my husband keep track of where I am!
