New Calendar

I am always looking for news way to make my life more organized, so I went on a hunt for a new dry erase board that I could do a weekly plan on for our schedules and our menus. I searched online first (as I personally would much rather just find it online and order it, as it usually comes out cheaper to do so for most things up here in Alaska, especially if I can get free shipping and www.ebates.com on top of that) So I searched and searched and was not finding what I wanted at all and had it set that I would just have to make what I wanted. I went to Target to get just a plan, large sized dry erase board and look what I found! A weekly dry erase board that is plenty big enough for what I was wanting to put on it! Go figure right? After hours of searching online and not seeing this board at all it was just sitting on the shelf calling my name. The only down side to this board is that is wasn't magnetic, but not a biggie at all. I had some extra magnetic strips left over from another project, so I just added it to the back and hung it up! All has been great!

On the left: I have a place for notes and color key (picture below) On the right: Days of the week starting at Monday (which I love!) I have more then enough space to write our our menus and schedules.

As you can see, here is a close up of the color code system I use. Makes things easier on me and that is the goal!

And here is the plastic drawers I keep next to the fridge for our dry erase markers, pens/sharpies, and batteries. This could easily be hidden in a cabinet, but we just don't have the space since we don't have a pantry, so on the counter it sits.

I'm LOVING this new calendar. It's nice that I now have gone from three separate calenders down to just two (my little $1 planner that I keep my diaper bag and this one)
