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!

As a homeschooling mom, who also works outside the home, is the volunteer coordinator of our homeschool coop and actively involved in our church ~ I could use this to help keep all of my schedules organized in one place!!! I am someone who has to see my schedule in front of me in written form, not electronic.
Sandi B says
I could really use this system. I currently just use my phone. My husband and I are always messing each other’s plans up because we either failed to mention an appointment/engagement or forget it was mentioned! I would use this in our kitchen/garage entry area. Thanks for the opportunity!
Diana says
This is awesome! I have a DIY wet erase calendar on the front of my fridge that is pretty bedraggled and need to replace. I have a new fridge on order and once this comes off, I don’t think it will go back on. I also HATE erasing one whole month to add the next. The rotating weeks would really solve that problem!!
erin says
wow! with a new baby, both of us working, and difficulty syncing schedules, this would be so helpful! i love the bonus memo strip, that would be so helpful and beneficial to our Sunday “Family Meetings” – yay!
Kim says
What a great calendar! I’m designing a drop zone/ command center next to the garage door into our family room at our new house and this would be perfect.
Mandy says
How awesome is this! Between a traveling husband and three children we can put this to use and fill it up immediately. I love how the weeks separate out so you can always keep moving forward.
Debby says
Love the fact that there is no waste. I would use this on my mudroom door for soccer schedules and appointments.
Ingrid says
This would be we be super helpful. Husband is in Grad school and I manage our two little ones and simple is what I need. I love how you can pick the frame out. I would love to have something up instead of just my notebook and my memory. Which can not remember all of it.
Laura says
I <3 calendars and I've been looking for a better solution to what I currently have. This is it!
Francine Rindlisbacher says
This calendar would help our family of 7 stay more organized and on top of everything that’s going on!
Holly Moran says
I would LOVE this!! I am setting up a command center in my laundry room & this would be the perfect calendar!
Rachel says
This would be great for all of us to know the famiy’s schedule. And a great way to look forward to special events / days
Kristina says
I would love to use this when trying to get chores done. It would be easy to divvy them up throughout the week, and then cycle them through the months!
Amanda says
Ugh with two kids in school, my husband and I in school, work and soccer practice we need something to keep us organized !
Sara says
I would use this as a meal planner and to keep track of appointments and other activities for our 3 little boys! great giveaway!!!
Lorraine says
I’m a homeschooling mom of 3 kids and a business owner. My husband’s work shift and days off change every week. He is constantly asking what’s upcoming so I want a calendar that. Can be prominently displayed for his benefit. A nice-looking one that will add a decorative touch would be a nice bonus. 🙂 I just bought a wall calendar last week but I am already frustrated with it, because it’s already looking tattered from flipping back and forth to see/add to next month’s activities.
linda says
I would use this to organize our family activities. Looks cool.
Debbie says
I’m currently using a regular calendar attached to the side of our fridge with a magnet. I sometimes forget to check it, b/c out of sight out of mind with me, and activities are forgotten about (or we arrive late). I have a perfect place in our kitchen for this calendar and as a matter of fact have been wondering where I could find something like this for quite some time. I would have my kids activities written down and all family events. I am very excited about this giveaway b/c it’s just what our family needs to stay on top of everything!!!
Tracee Ali says
LOVE this calendar! I would put it next to our laundry room where we enter and exit from our garage each day. Everyone looks there (even if they don’t want to ;)). Having things two months in advance allows everyone to see what’s coming up so there are no surprises…or excuses. Finally, the color coding allows my husband and two children to see what is specifically for them, as well as what everyone else is doing.
Jenny says
I would love this to help keep our schedules, appointments (we have a 2 year old and one due in March), grocery list together so we would always know where to look!
Julia says
This would be a great way to keep everyone’s schedule in 1 central location. Really cute too!
Mandi Olson says
I have the perfect spot for this! Any my husband and I need something like this after missing his parents 40th anniversary this past weekend. . .whoops!
Nichole says
I would love this for our kitchen so that everyone in our family could be aware of our schedule!
Rosal Galindo says
With four kids, husband, cooking and chores….this calendar would help me so much. I currently don’t have one in place for the family to see it is all in my phone and most of the time I dont even look at it. This would be perfect to help us all be on the same page and get all our stuff organized.
Shantel says
This would be great for keeping track of activities for my family. I love that it comes in a pretty decorative frame. I would love to display it in my kitchen!
Shelley says
Our current family calendar is hanging on the inside of a cupboard. It would be nice to have something in plain sight of everyone in the family!
Darlene says
I’m a single, work at home mom of 4 kids ages 9-17 with a myriad of activities. I’m also involved in the leadership of women’s ministry at my church. I’ve found that often we are rushed because I couldn’t remember the correct times for certain things. I need simplicity!
Linnae says
I would love to organize my family. They are beautiful
Jennifer says
Wow, you always have the best giveaways! This would be great to have for my husband and me. Even though we don’t have kids yet his schedule changes every week and it is really hard to stay organized and I think this would help!
Lisa says
We would use this to keep track of schedules for our busy family – working, playing, and keeping our house and garden running smoothly!
Mary Beth says
As a Grandma, I would use this calendar for a Christmas gift for my son and his very young, BUSY family. It is an amazing calendar and I can see what a blessing it would be for a growing and active family!!
susie says
This would be prefect to keep our family organized!
Julie Baskette says
Having 3 kids, it gets pretty hectic. This would be a wonderful tool to keep up-to-date & to track important info & dates. Thanks for the opportunity to win one of these!!!
Jackie Cole says
We have a household of 6 and this calendar would be a nice addition to the kitchen (the main congregation part of the house) to list out important dates that we can all keep track of in one place. I love that it strays away from your “traditional calendar” and more of a show piece and also the benefit of never having to purchase another one :).
Heather says
This looks like such a great idea and would be so helpful with my family’s busy schedule!
Bianca says
Looks great! I have a calendar on my wall for the kids and hubby, a binder for me and I now just signed up for Cozi because sometimes i’m out booking appt and I dont’ know if I have something scheduled so now I have an online calendar.Too much? Yeah but with 3 kids, moving soon, after school activities, dr. appts and my husband who has no memory and think’s i’m his personal secretary, I have to keep tabs or I will forget! I like how this is in a nice frame and will look perfect for my new office in my new home.
Shari says
Wow! I’ve been searching for the ‘perfect’ calendar for months and this might just be it! With a husband who works retail with a varied schedule week to week, 2 kids very active in school and church activities and my full-time job that involves many evening meetings, this could be the magic solution. Would love to win one of these!
Annette says
As a mom and a freelance creative designer married to a self employed chef with a daughter who has lots of fun interests, we sure could use this to keep things moving along smoothly!
Angela Z says
This is such a fantastic calendar! I would use this to organize all of our family events. I currently use an old paper calendar but this would be so chic & convenient!
Alesha Bloom says
This would be great to have. With 4 kids I need to keep myself organized with the sports, dentist appt, doctors etc.
