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 is genius – my husband might actually use this calendar. It would live handsomely in our kitchen for our breakfast day planning sessions.
andrea says
I would use this to keep the family’s busy schedule all in one place!
Tonya H. says
I would use it in my kitchen on my refrigerator.
This is how I would keep my family informed
about what is going on during the month.

Karri Hubach says
Love it. Need to be able to plan that far ahead 🙂
Deanna Schiesser says
This would be great to replace my current calendar to keep track of appointments, birthdays, husband’s work schedule and more. Especially when I have a separate schedule I need to keep track of for my childcare business!
Kendra says
What an awesome chore/calendar – all in one place! I am just now working on a “command center” in my kitchen, so I would love to place this there, instead of my hodgepodge of other ideas 🙂 Great giveaway; hope I win!
Sarah says
I would hang the calendar in my kitchen and use it to keep track of schedules for 4 kids and 2 busy parents. We make nightly dinner together a priority so I would also put the weekly menu plan on so everyone knows what is for dinner each night.
julia says
that is such a smart and beautiful calendar! my husband is always wanting me to organize and write out menus and plans. that calendar would be the answer we have been looking for!!
Ilona t says
To organize my kids schedule!

Keep track of our school, work, church, and sport schedules!
Amber says
To keep track of all your stuff, work, school, ect.
Erin says
We are in our first year of homesteading. I could use one of these to track chores and new projects. These are beautiful!!
Lisa says
I wouldn’t use it but would give it to my daughter. She has twin boys with Autism and has many therapy appointments….she could really use the organization…
Gretel Patch says
This would be huge help for our family if 6. Even though I try to keep distractions to a minimum, we’re still torn in different directions. I like the idea of everything in one visible place.
Kelly says
I would hang this calendar up in my kitchen to keep track of all of our schedules! I LOVE that you can move the weeks around so you can always be looking several weeks ahead.
Crystal Wright says
WOW! AWESOME IDEA!!!
This calendar would be GREAT in my home! With a family of 4 – who all lead VERY BUSY lives! Having one place to keep track of everything is so important. And right now, I print out monthly calendars that are so small it doesn’t hold much and I have to constantly cross things off when things get moved around… super messy!
This would make a huge difference in my home!!
luda says
Would love it to keep up with all my family’s appointments
vickie says
This never ending calendar would have a spot on our kitchen wall. Right next to our school calendars and lunch menus…..oh the joy of having this!
Kari says
I would use this to keep track of my daughter’s dance classes so we don’t double book her or ourselves. It is important for us to not “book” her too much and to make sure we have some down/family time!
Rhonda Massena says
I would put a calendar like this to good you with my family of 4. I can put school schedules, Cub Scouts schedules, Girl Scouts schedule, & chores on this calendar. It would be a great way for the whole family to keep up to date on all of our activities.
nicole says
this would be so wonderful for us! my husband is currently job hunting, so he has to go somewhere different all the time. I work for different people at different times and am disabled, so have tons of doctor appointments, so this would help so much to get us organized. keeping track of each other’s calendars is so tricky. I need my husband to drive me everywhere because i can’t drive, and not knowing when he’s busy makes it incredibly difficult to schedule appointments. wow, i’m wordy!
Vicki says
My daughter has a hectic dance schedule. It would help her plan her days also.
Pat says
This would be great for my mother (maybe I can get her to stop writing on little pieces of paper and leaving them all around the room).
Leslie says
This would be a great way to keep track of school events, little league games, church events, and my grocery and to-do lists:) Love it!
Kim says
Oh what a great way to keep track of everyone’s appointments and events!
Megan Camp says
I would totally use this calendar to replace the month calendar I printed off the internet because I am desperately in need of a simple wall calendar that I can write on. I do most of my calendar planning on Cozi but still love having a real one to refer to and make notes on by my desk.
Donna Hayes says
I would use the calendar for keeping up with appointments and schedules. It’s also beautiful to look at!
Jennifer says
I would use this to plan out our meals and my husband’s out of town travels. THank you for this opportunity.
donna says
Would love it to keep up with all my family’s appointments.
Tina says
To keep track of our schedules (hubby’s & mine), we always seem to be going different ways!
Vera says
I would use the calendar to keep track of our schedules…and for my memory keeping (I keep scrapbooks for my daughters), plus it’d be perfect for my husband’s “honey-do” list!
Melanie says
Nifty idea!
Melanie D. says
I would use this to keep my very busy young family
more organized. My daughter is 3 and my son
Is 15 months and it is quite trying to keep track
of their activities along with my husband and
my work schedules and other activities. I would
be thrilled to have this in my home!
Rebecca says
I would use this calendar for keeping track of my kids’ sports and school schedules. Along with my work and my husband’s travel schedules. I live by the calendar on my phone, but it would be nice for the whole family to be able to see what’s going on for the month.
Jeannette says
Our family is expanding and I have a hard time keeping up with our schedules as is it. This would be so helpful!
Alyssia says
With both my husband and I having a couple jobs and multiple commitments each week, it’d be a great way to keep track of our schedules and meals for each night!
Laura says
Even with just one preschool age child, it seems our calendar is getting crazy! This will help me keep us organized to the utmost!
