FAMILY CALENDAR


After missing the Catholic Parish Appreciation Dinner on Saturday night, I took the time early Sunday a.m. to update our family calendar. I have a calendar in MY notebook but obviously, with another adult's schedule to integrate, we need to go back to our BIG family calendar.

This is a monthly board that I use for a weekly schedule. I need big spaces. I have the days across the top. Each person has a color of pen....and all is on here....Josiah's work schedule, outside classes, chapel events, Mike's schedule, doctor's appts, play dates, co-ops etc Across the bottom I usually have our weekly menu written....but I've not come up with a menu yet for this week.

My goals for today...pay bills before Curves, Curves, make a menu, do school, grocery shop, cook dinner, graduation meeting tonight.....oh yeah - call the doc.

Only thing missing from your full day is..... find time to rest.

Great calendar. With so many little ones, we don't have a lot of outside activities yet, but we do have a large monthly calendar that helps us keep track. I like the idea of posting your weekly menu. I might have to borrow this idea of using the monthly calendar as a weekly one!

I don't know WHY we have so many outside things because I am NOT a "go everywhere/participate in everything" type of mom...but somehow we've gotten busy anyway. LOL

Ha! I thought I was the only one with a color-coded calendar. Each of my 4 have their own color, events for all of us are another, and mom and dad have their own. So that's a rainbow of 7 colors on my desk-blotter size wall calendar...with the menu for the month written on the bottom of each square. And I have 4 months to decide what color to use for baby "E". About the only part of my life that's organized LOL.

My problem, Deja, is that I've run out of colors....so I sort of group them "young ones" all get one color these days.
