Get Organized and Save Money

So it is the start of a new year and as always I am trying to think of ways to keep everything in  my house organized!  With three very busy kids, keeping everyone's schedules straight can be a daunting task.  So one of my newest purchases was one of those Dry Erase Calendars to put up on the fridge.

So far, it has been a real life saver!  I can easily write each family members daily tasks so that no one misses an important event, appointment or sporting event.  I use the column at the top to write everyone's names and then I number the squares for each day of the month.  The thing I like most about it is that once the month is over, I can simply erase it and start over without having to by a new calendar every year.

Some may think that this option isn't as pretty or decorative as a standard calendar, but the one I bought actually has really nice photos at the top so it doesn't look dull and business like.

This wasn't an expensive purchase by any means - I think the one I bought was under $20 so it was an affordable addition to the family kitchen.  For me, I love that I can walk by the fridge and take a glance at what the day holds as well as what is coming at me the following week.

If you have a busy family and have trouble keeping everything in your home organized, a dry erase calendar is a very good idea!
