DIY Dry Erase Seasonal Weekly Calendar Free Printables

four weekly seasonal calendars

These seasonal weekly calendars are the most used and requested printables I have ever made. I don’t go a day without looking at our weekly calendar. Each week it’s filled out with our schedule posted prominently on our refrigerator. The calendars help with reminders of all kinds (school, medical appointments, activities, etc) and help facilitate communication between myself and my husband. Plus, every night at dinner we glance over at it to discuss the next day’s plan with our kids. I hope you find these calendar printables as helpful as we do.

DIY No-Sew Pocket Advent Calendar

I had been looking for a pocket advent calendar but couldn’t find the perfect one. Either the pockets were too small, the calendar too expensive, or it wasn’t the look I was going for. Instead, I created my own inexpensive, no-sew pocket advent calendar that my family can use for years to come!

Best Gifts for a 1 Year Old

Now that my daughter is almost 18 months I feel I have a good grasp on what makes the perfect gift for a 1-year-old.  I always struggle with gift-giving, especially when it comes to children and what toys are appropriate for what ages.  The suggested ages on the packaging are always wrong.  I hope some of you are able to benefit from my new-found knowledge of what makes the best gifts for a 1-year-old.

Door County

Door County, Wisconsin is one of my favorite places in the world. As a child, my family vacationed there every summer and as an adult, I have had many wonderful trips to Door County during every season (even winter!). Door County is so special to me and my husband we even got married there! Door County is the perfect destination for a girls’ weekend, a romantic getaway, or a family vacation. 

Rainbow Birthday Party

My daughter’s birthday is in March which is the perfect time to throw a rainbow birthday party since St. Patrick’s Day makes all things rainbow even easier to find than normal. We incorporated the rainbow theme into the party decorations, food, dessert, and favor bags. See below for inspiration and links.
