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 give this to my new daughter in law.
Sandy says
I have three kids and with several different activities – this would be great!!!
Debbie says
With both kids now in school, this would be great for us to coordinate everyone’s schedules!
Gloria says
I am in the process of buying a house. So much to do and remember. This would be perfect.
Sarah Weyers says
This calendar would work great for our family!!!
Amy says
This looks like a great way to organize. With four teens and an eleven year old our calendar is jam packed – I like the idea of color coding for each kid 🙂
Priya Joshi says
I really need this calendar right now! We are moving in 3 weeks and I haven’t really got organized yet. So many tasks to do everyday- this calendar will help keep me on track.
Laura Kasperski says
I would use this in my newly organized desk/office corner of the living-room. It would be great to use to organize my three kids. Between work, and all of the different clubs and organizations we are involved in, a beautiful calendar would certainly help to keep us going in the right direction!!
Jessica Hanson says
I would love to hang this in my kitchen and use it as meal plan because I never seem to find my notebook when I am trying to figure out what I had planned to make that night!
Felicia says
I would totally use this to remind me of all the after school activities my husband has at work so that I can make up my schedule here at home!!!
Melissa says
My family and I would use this to keep track of all our events, meals, and celebrations!!
Christy Galba says
I would love to have this calendar because I am ultra organized but my husband is not. He really needs to be able to see what we have scheduled weeks in advance. He is always asking me to check the calendar so he can schedule things. If we use this calendar, he can just look up at the wall and see what we have going on. And my girls will be able to look up at the wall and see what we have planned and it gives them something to look forward to…sorta like an incentive for good behavior and choices so they don’t lose privileges of getting to do fun things that we have planned. 🙂 Thank you!
Sarah says
I would LOVE to have this calendar! I’m just starting nursing school, AND planning a wedding for next summer, and keeping up with those two schedules is extremely hard! This calendar would make it easy for my fiance and I to know when specific deadlines are, so I don’t have to keep reminding him!
Krista says
This would be great for planning our homeschooling schedule, daily activities and menu plan! I have just the place.
Christi says
Just the thought of using this calendar to keep my family organized makes my heart go pitter pat! 🙂
Jacky says
This would be perfect for keeping track of all the activities my family has going on with all of us attending or working at four different schools. I love how it’s magnetic too! It would be great to keep track of birthdays too-mine is today!
Christy Anderson says
I would use it in our kitchen for meal planning each month!
Chalyse Meiklejohn says
I would absolutely LOVE this! We just have a big white board in our kitchen that I write appointments and meetings on (and we have a lot!) but this would be so helpful to have a calendar layout and I love that you can move the strips around!
Kara says
I would love this calendar to help the kids remember to do their chores (and so maybe I wouldn’t have to nag them as much?)
Jennifer M. says
This would be perfect for our family of 7. With 5 kids under 6, I would better able to remember things…..let alone forget …..I had an appointment , etc., I hope I win!
Lori says
I’d place it on my garage door so that I would be forced to look at it and hopefully stay a bit more organized!
Hillary says
To keep the family informed of different events and to have a more visual calendar 🙂 !
Carol B says
This would be PERFECT for my classroom! I hope I win one!
Paula Gonzales says
I love the calendar on my phone, but it makes it hard to look ahead. I love, love, love the idea of strips for entire weeks! This will go in our dining room where everyone can see what’s going on.
Esther says
Wow , this would be an awesome way of getting my 9 yr. old son motivated in his after school chores and get him prepared . Hopefully it would help everyone including mama to have a clear picture of what needs to happen the last few hours of a harried day 🙂
Gina Hammett says
This will be great to keep my family organized! I’d hang it in the kitchen so my husband could see it!
Kim says
This would definitely help for our homeschooling lifestyle!!!
Bonnie says
I would hang this calendar on the wall by my desk and throw out my desk calendar. Much more neat looking.
Kathi says
This would be a wonderful way for my husband and I to know what each of us is doing
Kathleen says
I love dry erase calendars, and this is the best I’ve seen.
Elizabeth Stewart says
I could use this calendar to organize my family’s schedule, grcoery shopping, and holiday activities!
Michelle Rolfes says
Holiday scheduling and several fall and winter birthdays!
Brandy says
We were actually just thinking about replacing the door to our laundry room with a new door and making it a command center….what we would need is a calendar bc I’m tired of buying new ones every year (kind of wasteful) this would be PERFECT!
Lizanne says
What a great product!!! I think this would help me finally keep straight my husband’s and my various schedules– work, school, second jobs, holidays, events, etc.–without contributing to the paper clutter that seems to go with all of it.
Tara Young says
My eldest daughter is a “calendaroholic”. She, at 11, has inspired me to be more calendar organized :). Our lives are getting busier and since I am beginning to bake breads to sell, this would help not only with that but family activities and menus.
Blessings 🙂
Eric says
My to do lists and calendar items are spread all over right now. This would be perfect!
Melissa says
I would use this calendar for my husband. He never remembers dates and he doesn’t bother looking at the our shared google calendar. So this would be perfect! I can plant it somewhere he’s forced to see it!
Leatha says
Wow, what beautiful calendars!! Organized meets pretty – I like it!
Erica says
Oooh, I’ve been meaning to get one of these for my office. It would certainly liven it up a bit.
Teri says
I was just thinking getting about a 2014 calendar, and this would be a perfect way to start the new year!
