*FREE* Printable Cleaning & Meal Calendars

A mamma's got to be organized so there's more time for fun stuff, like sewing. Here's a Cleaning Calendar and Meal Calendar I created to organize my day to day. I like the 4 week rotating cleaning schedule instead of just 1 week because there are some things you just don't need to do every week. I also looked at actual calendars with dates, but I figured that's a lot of hassle to create new ones each month.


The downloads:

My family's calendar for your viewing pleasure.


A blank calendar for customization. 8.5x11in.

To display your calendar here are a few ideas...
1st option is what I use, on the fridge in magnet sleeves. I can easily update or change the calendar and also use a dry erase marker to cross off chores.
2nd great option would be to laminate them. I've got that laminator and I love it.
3rd option is to put the calendar in a picture frame and use dry erase marker on the glass.
4th the old school way, print a new one every 4 weeks and cross out chores with a pen. What fun is that?

Now I'm all organized. Don't ask me if I'm actually following through and crossing off chores. The fun is making the calendar. ;) Enjoy!

    THANK-YOU! I have been searching for something like this for a couple years already (honest)! I have tried different ways and haven't found anything that works for my family... I think this will work along with the other plans I have! I love the retro look as well! :) And, as an extra bonus (for me), you have taken the required time to build my own out of the equation so, like you mentioned, I can do other tasks like schoolwork (not such fun, but still needs to be done). :)

Ladybug Cake

Cake decorating, no needles but it's crafty, right? In the past few years I've dabbled in cake decorating. With 3 kids, 3 birthday cakes a year, and a number of showers in between I don't have a lot of experience, but wanted to share the one I whipped up last week because it was seriously fun to make. As I mentioned , my niece had a 1st birthday party and I was asked to make the cake with a ladybug theme. I did, but I surprised everyone by making the inside p o l k a - d o t t e d ! Here's how it turned out... It's crazy how easy this  p o l k a - d o t  technique is. First, I used the   red velvet cake  recipe that came with my  Babycakes Cake Pop Maker  machine which I ordered from Amazon. Once the cake pop balls were cool, I placed whole and half balls in the cake pans and poured the cake batter (white and chocolate ) over them. Bake. Surprisingly, they don't overcook being baked twice! So fun and I love the contrast of the r
