Calendar and Planners

If there is one thing I have learned about being a mom it is that a calendar and planner are essential for keeping everything and everyone on track. Wait until you see this adorable Happy Everything's magnetic calendar.

When my girls were in school I kept a large calendar by our kitchen with everyone's activities written on it in their color. This saved me a load of questions from my hubby and kids. If they wanted to know when their next swim practice was all they had to do was look at the calendar.

But if a busy mom needs a calendar get her one that is fun to play with too. Happy Everything did just that with these fun little attachments. Not only can you get a calendar as a practical gift for a busy mom but you can pick out cute attachments to go with it and keep giving more fun ones as gifts in the future.
