What’s Up with the Extra Months

Dear FlyLady,

I am a relatively new FlyBaby. I rely heavily on a calendar to ensure order in our family’s schedule. I bought your calendar earlier this year & hung it on the fridge.

While perusing the FlyShop recently, I noticed the new calendar for sale. My current calendar goes to December, but the new calendar starts in August. Does that mean that every time I buy a new calendar, five months will go unused? Could you please explain the overlap?

Thank you!

FlyBaby Mary

Dear Mary,

The reason we have 5 extra months in our calendar is to give you a grace period! It is all about giving you the time you need to get your calendar in place before the new year.

Many homes revolve around the school year! Starting our calendar in August gives you a place to write your children’s busy schedule.

Don’t allow your perfectionism to get in the way of using a tool that keeps your family organized!

The boxes on our calendar are huge compared to those cutesy calendars. Squares 1.75″ x 3.125″

The overall size of our calendar is 14 by 21 inches when open.

Your calendar being displayed in a high traffic area will keep your family from asking you questions every few minutes!

Your calendar is a wealth of information with boxes that are large enough to hold your busy family’s schedule! You can track milestones of your children and yourself!

Your calendar gives you place to menu plan! This will save you enough money to buy a calendar.

Look at those extra months as a way to purchase your calendar in a timely fashion without you stressing out at the end of the year. Christmas is the most costly times of the year for us. It is all about being kind to yourself and getting things done.

Those extra 5 months don’t cost you any extra money. Our price is affordable for everyone.

Get your calendar ordered today and it will be one less thing for you to stress out about later!

Find a place in your home for your calendar! Many people use their refrigerator as this place.  There is also a hole in the center of the calendar to hang from a nail or a Command Hook.
