what a great organization tool. There is a column for everyone plus a couple at the end for weekly and monthly chores...I love it.

I am constantly pulling my calendar off the wall hook to write things on it, and liked this calendar because it has a sturdy metal hook and spiral binding. Unfortunately it is not really designed to hang by its sturdy and easy-to-use hook. The way the weeks are printed, you end up with every other week hanging upside down! You have to use the very non-sturdy 2 holes and view 2 weeks at a time if you don't want to have every other week hang upside down. I'm very disappointed. I'd return it if I hadn't written all over it before I realized that logistical problem. I had a similar wall calendar from Real Simple last year that was a much better design. Unfortunately I couldn't find it anywhere this year. I wouldn't recommend this one as a replacement.

I love this calendar! Having a separate column for each member of my family is fantastic! I can see at a glance everything that's going on a certain day for each person and it truly helps keep us all on schedule and there's so much room to write down important items and information. I have 5 children so this calendar is a must. I've tried many different ways of scheduling and like this the best.

This may be our family's most useful non-appliance item! All five of us check it every day. The kids will remind me, for example, to send a note for the teacher because they have a playdate, or bring snack for the girl scout meeting. We often have overlapping activities or tricky soccer game logistics, and the calendar makes this clear ahead of time so we can work it out.

Our names label the vertical columns, and the dates label the horizontal rows, which is different from an regular calendar, but easy to get used to and much more practical for a family. Each family member has a large square for each day, and the calendar displays two weeks at a time. There are two extra columns, one of which we use for events including the whole family, and one for meal planning. There is also space at the bottom of each week for To-Do lists etc.

Highly recommended!
