With two children and a husband that works an opposite shift to my own, we often forget appointments and are then left scrambling to arrive on time. This is not a great way to run your household and I have tried several methods to fix this little problem, but to no avail. Nothing seems to work, not even for a little while. Even texting the appointment to all parties involved hasn’t worked and in this age of technology that is saying something. So you can imagine my delight when I came across an endorsement for Our Family Calendar!
Now I know what you are thinking. You have tried other calendars before. So have I, but there is something different about Our Family Calendar. A mother herself, the creator of Our Family Calendar, Jaime, loves to recount and share the things she holds most dear with her family each day while keeping everyone organized and on time. Jaime’s vision for Our Family Calendar included having a place to plan your week out without sacrificing values that matter like happiness, cooperation, spirituality, acceptance, compassion and respect.
After spending some time with my own Our Family Calendar I realized that one of the attributes I enjoyed the most was the simplicity of it. Many of those other calendars you see are over-sized, covered in cartoons and have a ton of themed stickers waiting to be stuck all over the place. I find that really annoying and it sets an expectation that, after a few weeks, I can not stand up to! Seriously, who has time to add a sticker for everything from a dental appointment to the end of year party TEN MONTHS before it even happens?? Not this mama, no sirree.
Our Family Calendar lets you take the lead in how you want to present your family’s week and it is all on a nice, neat dry erase board with a standard one month calendar to fill in. No stickers, no gimmicks. Just a clean, uncluttered way to be prepared. Hang it on the fridge with the attached magnets or put it on the wall. Whatever works for your family. For under $20.00 CAD you can have your own Our Family Calendar mailed right to your door. Or pick one up as a gift for a family member or friend. Trust me, they will thank you.
Make sure you check out Jaime’s blog, Jesuisune Maman where you can purchase Our Family Calendar directly. The calendar can also be ordered en français. Jaime is also on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Happy shopping!
What is one of the values you hold most dear? The holidays are the perfect time to put them into practice!
