I’m thrilled to be giving away one of these rather fetching personalised Family Activity Planners from Stuck On You.
I’m really rather fond of Stuck On You and their cheery designs… we’ve been using their stick and iron-on name labels ever since the boys started school and I recently reviewed their marvellous Tools 4 School Kits which were a godsend over the holidays.
And if now that term has started you find yourself trying to cram the kids’ after-school activities into a calendar that doesn’t have much space, you’ll be needing one of these planners.
Everyone in the family gets their own column, and you can get their names actually printed on. It’s so much easier at-a-glance to see what everyone’s up to!
You can also choose from a range of designs. I opted for the jolly jellybeans for a pop of colour in my kitchen.
You don’t have to start it in January either, but instead you use stickers to label each page. There are also sheets of handy stickers for things like haircuts, doctor and dentist appointments, music lessons. Brilliant!
If you’d like to win one of these handy calendars then read on. If you want one right now you can get hold of them for £18.99 on the Stuck On You website 🙂

Don’t trust your husband to remember stuff or to remind you!! I write everything down or set reminders on my mobile
Take a minute each day to ask everyone if there’s anything they need to remember to take/do/buy the next day to jog memories and avoid last moment panic.
At the evening meal, discuss what events are happening over the next few days. Great conversation, and it reinforces the plans in everyones minds, also makes the even the youngest feel that they involved.
