I have a fairly large family and while my husband does not have a particularly large family we do have 4 neices or nephews on his side. I also have 4 on my side and our 2 children.  This means tons of  birthdays & parties & school events & baseball games & cheerleading games & ballet &, well you see my point.
How is one person supposed to keep up with all those dates and my husbands ever changing work schedule and events at my job & doctor's appointments.
All of that was solved when I found this pin about a calendar.
I made a calendar that is a dry erase board as well. So theres nothing to rebuy next year. Awesome!

Here's What You'll Need:
Large picture frame
scrapbook paper/ wallpaper/ wrapping paper/ fabric
ruler
Permanant marker

Here's what you do:
Cover the back piece of the frame in the paper of your choosing I simply taped mine down
Draw a Calendar frame work onto that paper
Put the frame back together & hang on the wall

Use your dry erase markers to write important dates down.

I use different colored markers so that the birthdays don't get mixed up with the doctor's appointments and things like that.
