Dear FlyLady,

I cannot say enough wonderful things about your calendar! I told myself for years that I wasn’t going to purchase one since I can get a free calendar every year from my church, but one day, I got a reminder from my child’s teacher that field trip money was due that day and I had been running late and needed to run to the ATM (before school!!) to withdraw money for my kids field trip, and that very second I decided to purchase a calendar! It arrived within a few days and my whole family uses it.

We are a family of 5, with the youngest starting kindergarten in August. We needed to bring a bunch of paperwork to the school to register her, and I was able to just cut out the list of the paperwork I needed and tape it right to the calendar. We keep our calendar at our launch pad, so I kept all of the registration paperwork in a folder right beneath my calendar. When I got to kindergarten round up, I handed the administrator my paperwork and she looked at me with thankful eyes and said, “thank you for being prepared.”

I love that there is a little quote about the habit of the month at the top of the calendar, and this month, we all are making our beds.

My calendar is messy, there are very few empty boxes, but with a family of 5, I really need all that room to save myself time and stress. I have room to write down when and where baseball games are, big test days, doctor appointments for everyone, birthday parties, and when field trip monies are due. We all love the calendar.

I even use it to write down when I do seasonal things around the house and make a note of when it needs to be done next.

Thanks for creating the most ideal calendar for a busy family to actually use!!

A family who checks the same calendar always knows what’s next and what’s for dinner. Place your calendar where the whole family can see it! Don’t hide it from them.
