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.

  2. 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!

  3. 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

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

Your speech should always be gracious, {as though} seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you should answer each person.
