Just Picked Up My 2008 Calendar

Yesterday, our family visited our local town bookstore to browse a bit. While there, I noticed the 2008 calendars were out and picked one up.

Yes, it does seem early for a 2008 calendar, doesn't it? But I already need to jot in some 2008 events (like a wedding and a major birthday bash), plus school and extracurricular activities my daughter is involved in.

I always buy a pretty calendar that I love to look at all year long. For 2007, I've been using an 'Under The Tuscan Sun' calendar, with beautiful photography depicting life in Tuscany. This time around, I picked up an Audubon Engagement Calendar, filled with gorgeous nature photography.

I'll fill in all recurring events and activities, in addition to the one-time-only events that are already scheduled.

If there are lots of similar recurring events, for example, my daughter's tap class, I'll simply make labels that will say 'Amanda-Tap 1:00P' and tape those labels to the appropriate dates. This way, I won't have to keep writing it over and over again. I have a label machine to do this, but it can also be done on a regular computer and printer, using file folder size labels that you would normally use to label a file folder.

If you already have 2008 dates to keep track of, pick your 2008 calendar up today and you'll help ensure nothing will fall through the cracks.

I have to say that I found a great computer calendar that can really help out a busy family and the best part is that it's FREE!
Cozi Central - you simply download MAC or PC and it has a calendar that you can personalize with color coding for different family members and you can create and maintain a grocery list. All of these things can be then sent to your phone as a text message or to your spouse's or kid's phones. It's a great way to stay organized and it's free. Of course I still have my big wall calendar -can't live without it.
