Small families have little trouble keeping track of birthdays and other important dates. Mom, Dad and Baby aren’t easily forgotten. But as your family grows and, instead of just 3 or 4 dates, you have 20 – 30 – even 40+ birthdays to recall, you are going to need a system. You had better have a plan!

There are many great calendars, planners and organizing gadgets to help you keep track of all those significant dates.
One of the most fun and popular is>> ☑️ Sandra Boynton’s Mom’s Family Wall Calendar! I love that it comes with 9 fridge magnets and a host of colorful stickers (moms love stickers, too!)

The price is right at slightly under $16 but at special times of year you will probably find a nice discount on Amazon! If you are a bargain hunter, check back often.
If wall calendars are not your style, she also makes a Mom’s Family Desk Planner Calendar – which is a handy size that can stay on your desk or be put in a tote bag – and a very special Mom’s Birthday Calendar that I really love. Keeping yourself organized this way is fun!

How To Keep Track Of Important Dates
1. Find a perpetual calendar or journal for you to write those dates down. Using an online calendar is fine but, as you know, glitches happen and all of your hard work may be lost. A written version is long-lasting. Hang it on the wall or refrigerator or keep it right on your desk to refer to often.
2. Soon as a new child is born or adopted into your family, record their name and birthday on the correct month. Include the YEAR they were born. That will solve the “how old are they now?” mystery in years to come. You will know the answer precisely.
3. At the end of each month, add birthday reminders for the upcoming month on your smartphone so that you are right on top of things. If you are an online shopper, that is the time to go to Amazon or your other favorite stores to buy your gifts and cards. Talk about organized!
Enjoy!
