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 would use this to replace the paper calendar I buy early, it gets the job done but this would be much more economical!
T'Ann Love says
This is such a nicely done calendar. I still use a paper calendar along with my phone, but this would be so handy for the rest of my family to be able to see at a glance what is happening and upcoming. With four kids coming and going, this could really help to eliminate some miscommunications and forgotten commitments!
Thanks for sharing!
Jackie says
Brilliant – need this to keep us on track!
Vicki F. says
I am in need of a good planning calendar. I am currently using a little purse-size calendar, which is hard to keep track of.
Tami B says
This calendar would be used everyday in my house. I would use it to keep track of my husbands rotating days off; the early release/no school days for me and for any appointments and classes that we both seem to have! It would be so nice to have a visual calendar that is also quite pretty!
Laura says
As a mom with Adhd this would be great for keeping me and my family on track! Visual reminders work the best for us.
Tammy S. says
I would love to use this calendar to keep track of everyone’s activities while still looking great on the wall.
Natalie says
OMG!
So many ways I could use this calendar – menu planning, appointments and activities for the family, keep track of my projects and deadlines – my blog post schedule… Love the idea of having a visual calendar that is interactive.
Thanks!
Kristin C. says
Hi,
I LOVE you calendar and would be ecstatic to put it use. I am constantly trying to keep up with it all and meal plan. It’s clever and adorable.
Kay says
Having 8 children one in Uni, 2 working, 2 at primary school, 1 at kindy and all playing sport I have so much to remember, this would be so much nicer and better than the pieces of paper hanging all over the fridge!
Carrie Spisak says
Wow that’s amazing! I could combine all family members personal calendars as well as our together events so it would not be a constant reminders and everyone can see it.
Candace says
It looks so handy – I always have had a paper one on my fridge but we moved and now it doesn’t fit on my new fridge but this magnetic one would;)
Kristin says
I would hang this in my kitchen and use it to keep track of our busy family schedule! I’m trying to transition from my paper calendar to my phone calendar, but haven’t felt comfortable enough to switch completely…what a great solution!
Bernice says
With a full time job, twin toddlers, four rental properties and my husbands business I need something like this to keep it all in one place.
Julie H. says
I would put this calendar at the desk area in my kitchen. My husband works swing shifts, so this would really help us keep track of our schedules. Thanks for the great giveaway!
Stephanie says
ohmygoodness, i would love to have this! this is such a neat and smart idea. i currently use a dry erase board to try to keep all our lists and schedules on track, but this is so organized and neat, and i know i would use it. with 19 month old twins, i need all the help getting organized i can get! 🙂
Natalie M says
I NEED THIS!!! Our family is so on the go and this would really help keep ME organized!
Chrystal says
I’m getting married in November and moving this would be a great addition to keep up with both of our busy schedules–work, grad school, church and family events.
Susan C. says
With two adults on entirely different work schedules and a toddler with 3 different caregivers throughout the week, keeping track of all the moving pieces is tricky! It would be nice to have it all in one place for everyone to see.
Nessa says
Oh my!! Right now I use two sheet protectors and magnets on the side of my fridge for my calendar. This is SO PRETTY!! Plus the perpetual rotation would be amazing – instead of staring at past weeks on the last few days of the month.
Jacqualine says
Would love to use it for meal planning.
Kim says
My daughter and her fiance have moved in with my husband and I recently and we all have different schedules with new jobs, college, etc. This would keep all of us organized in addition to showing all of our plans/schedules on a monthly, weekly and daily basis. When our daughter and future son-in-law move into their own home, we most likely will send this with them to keep them on the path to a more organized lifestyle.
Ginger says
I would love one of these to help keep my grand kids organized. They are so busy.
Nicole says
I would love to use with this calendar for my daughter and my schedules. I work 2 jobs and she plays travel sports, so to keep us going where we are supposed to be going, this calendar would be implemented Day 1
Melissa Y. says
This would be great to use for my family of four as I am working on getting things organized in our lives!
Mandy says
I’d love to use this in my kitchen. So cute!
Jessica G. says
I would put this where everyone could see so we are all aware of what’s going and what activities we have planned
Krista DeGroot says
I was thinking about making a calendar that I saw on Pinterest, but this one looks a lot better…what a great idea, and it would look great by my computer!
Alice says
I would love this to keep all of our activities organized!! So cute and practical too!
Jo says
This would be perfect for the appoints I take my 92 year old father and terminally ill husband to.
Megan says
This would be great by our back door then “dad” would always know what our girls have going in that day after school. And what needs to be set out for dinner (because I always forget).
Kristi says
Ooooohhhhh! That’s beautiful! How fun to make the family calendar more beautiful and useful.
Rebecca G. says
Having four children, three that are married with children, one in college, and six grandchildren. We all are very busy with family, work, school, church, and many other activities. This calendar would be helpful for me. I love being in my children’s lives, and going to as many events I can, wanting to be supportive for all. So I need help keeping track of it all. Thanks Andrea for the giveaway.
Michaela Furlong says
I love this! I would use it as my main calendar to keep the family all on the same page as to what is going on when.
Allison says
This is great! So practical. I would use it to keep track of my children’s after school and weekend activities.
Carole says
I’d use it to keep my son’s activities organized.
Lauren R. says
I wish I had thought of this calendar! My husband and I share a calendar to keep us on top of who is doing what. It’s necessary with three kiddos but even with two working adults. I like the “forever” nature of this. I could even snap a picture and compare it with the ongoing grocery list I keep in Evernote!
Marcia Mc says
My daughter in law, who has two daughters of her own, and is each of their scout leaders, in both Daisies and Brownies, could really use this. I would love to be able to give it to her for Christmas!
Tammy @ SkipperClan says
Love this! I would put it right in the kitchen so everyone could see and use it to track our schedules together.
Lauri P says
With a first grader and a preschooler, our need for a family calendar is just beginning!
