Not only does the family calendar keep me organized it helps my husband and kids know what is on the schedule for the coming week. They were asking for a replacement calendar even before I was! Every morning the kids look at the list and know what to expect, what everyone has in the evenings and it serves to remind me when there is crazy hair day at school or the trash needs to go out.Make a DIY family calendar to keep your family schedule organized.

This calendar was pretty easy to throw together and you can take these ideas to make yours fit your needs and supplies. I started with a large frame I had from the old house.

Tiny clothespins make the perfect paper holder and I sewed a pocket to hold extra paper and pens. I used fabric here for a different texture and dimension. You could use paper or a small box attached to the board. I used Gorilla glue to attach the slats to the board, the clothespins to the slats and even glue the pocket to the board.

I plan on changing out the top decor seasonally and for fall I made a multilayer bow with fun fall ribbon, gorgeous moss ribbon, a small woodsy garland and a burlap acorn dangling down for fun. The bow is hung on a piece form a broken chair. I save everything, lol!Make a DIY family calendar to keep your family schedule organized.
