What? You haven’t even gotten a calendar yet? How about taking a baby step that will pay off like a big leap? Check out the BusyBodyBook Fridge Grid Pad. Instead of managing a month at a time, take it week to week.
Slap this pad on the refrigerator, then enter the dates in the first column. The other seven columns are up for grabs. For example, you can assign one to each family to track regular calendar work: appointments, lessons, etc. But you could also use a column to plan out dinner each night. Or one to remind when TV shows you want to watch are on. The pad also features a note column for those undated to-do items or to jot down when you run chicken nuggets.
Available at BusyBodyBook for $11.95.
