Family Communication + Calendaring

Family Communication + Calendaring
In this episode, Crystal Mickelsen and I talk about The Essential Calendar a simple and effective system to take the stress out of family calendaring.  By viewing family life 3 months at a time, family members are able to prioritize family adventures, communicate about potential scheduling conflicts and avoid over-scheduling.  The Essential Calendar is a large-format wall calendar that comes with a custom frame and accessories to help you stay organized and keep everyone on the same page.  By adopting a family calendaring system, families practice regular communication and empower children with information and the opportunity to make decisions around family life,

We created The Essential Calendar to help families stay organized and connected amid the bustle of family life.
I met Lindsay met when we were both pregnant and in the throes of young family life. After creating and using a three-month calendar over the summer, I shared how much it served my family, and gave a copy of the calendar to Lindsay which she integrated into her family right away.  After using the calendar for several years we realized that this simple and effective tool would serve so many families so we started www.TheEssentialCalendar.com.  You can also find us on Instagram.
