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!

This would be awesome! I love how big he squares are! I have three kids and my husbands job requires him to take training classes occasionally, plus I’m really involved in…well…everything. It would be so nice not to have to flip back and forth between months and just be able to see it all right there. Awesom-sauce!
Carrie Nash says
This would be a fabulous compliment to my dry erase menu board!
Toni W. says
This would help my family of 5 stay organized.
Shawna says
I would LOVE to add this to my kitchen (our central location for everything). As my oldest began Kindergarten this year, I am finding that I am volunteering what little extra time I have to the school. This calendar would help me keep track of the multitude of events that I have volunteered for!

Right now I use 2 calendars to keep track of everything. I have a 2nd grader and a Kindergartener. I’m amazed at how many different things I have to keep track of with 2 kids in school! Not to mention meetings and appointment for my husand and me. Thanks for doing another give-away!

This would be a great place to keep track of all my ministry commitments and grandchildren’s activities.

This is a brilliant calendar – well thought out! I have 7 kids and 18 grandkidos and trying to keep track of all their schedules is almost impossible – this would help SO MUCH and get me to those games that I need to be to! Thanks so much for sharing and giving us ALL a chance to win!
Theresa says
I started nursing school st the beginning of this month. This would be great to have everything in one place. We know what practice the older kids are at, which sitter to pick the twins up from, and what days daddy and the kids need to have fun (because of mama’s exams). Thanks for the giveaway! (Such beautiful products!)
Lisa P. says
My oldest started kindergarten this year. Oh boy, there are so many dates to remember now! I would definitely put this calendar through its paces.
Varessa says
As a first time mom of a Kindergardener, I could definitely use this calendar to help me figure out how to balance homework, projects, soccer, friends’ birthday parties, etc, etc, etc… 🙂
Susan Underwood says
We have 4 kids still at home–yes we are busy!
Cathy says
This would be a great tool for me at home ! We have so many projects going on right now this would help keep them all straight . And they are so very pretty and cool.

This looks great! I have been using a small dry erase board on my frig and keep running out of room with all we have going on!! Even if I don’t win I may have to save for this one!!
melissa says
“Homeschooling” & “four kids” are my two best reasons for a calendar like this! Love that it looks nice but is still completely functional. Great giveaway!

This calendar would go great by our back door, keeping everyone updated on what the day entails. Also it would help me know what time to make dinner and who’s eating, etc.
Tiffany says
To keep my husband organized!
Rachel says
This would be great to keep everyone aware of what’s going on in the family. Great for managing my part time job and my husbands job along with military travel. No more “I thought I told you I’d be gone that weekend”;)
Sue says
Would love to use this as a daily “what do I need to get done” reminder for my girls. They could each have their own color! 🙂

Julie Osmonson says
Oh my – homeschooling assignments, sports, lessons, band, dance, husband’s work travel schedule…SO many ways…
Karen Hoyt says
I love the idea of the magnetic board and areas to write it. That has been a point of contention with a lot of other calendars. I want to be able to write down my daily chores and projects as I work my way through the house & organize it better one room at a time.
joy says
this would replace the paper calendar we keep on the side of the pantry. I love-love-love the move up feature!
Mary says
If I had a calendar like this on the wall, I wouldn’t forget to pick up our grandson at school. I did this even though it was on my pocket calendar. All appointments would be right where I could see them several times a day. Grandmas need all the help they can get to remember their babysitting appointments.
Sue says
As a mom of 4 busy teenagers this would be extremely helpful in keeping everyone’s schedule in the forefront of our home! Plus – it’s one of the best looking calendars I’ve ever seen!
Jamie says
As my family is going through a transition period, I’m taking some time to re-organize our lives. I am starting with a family “command” center. I have had the ugliest calendar hanging for so long, and this would be so beautiful and helpful!
Kara says
This is gorgeous and super useful! it would be incredible to have in corralling my boys and busy family as hubby and i are on opposing schedules and there is *always* something going on!
LOVE IT!
