It seems like a simple item, but wondering if I should just buy a plain ol' hanging wall calendar (http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/949437/Day-Timer-Wall-CalendarDesk-Blotter-22/) or if someone has a better idea.

Basically, I need to be able to see a month at a time, note recurring reminders (like, prep bottles for daycare) and jot down appointments. We don't have to juggle a ton of events, more like a playdate here, a Dr. appt. there and noting whose day it is to drop off/pick up at daycare.

I don't need a ton of stickers and color coding - it should be relatively easy to read at a glance.

Thanks!

I really like the Sandra Boynton wall calendar - it gives me a space for everyone's individual appointments/activities. It came with some stickers which you might could use to symbolize your recurring reminders.

Not sure how old your DC is, but for the future, we have gotten some color/decorate your own for the kids - they made great, great Xmas gifts for the grammas, as long as I left enough time to get it done before then....for littles, just be sure to give colors that are relevant to the season for the art, since it's mostly scribbles for the first 3 years....

Can't find one quickly now, we got them at our co-op grocery store.

Otherwise, we have a big blank office one with no art. I have to say, that if they made them big enough, I'd get something pretty - for something you look at everyday, it's nice to have pretty, and it helps the kids learn the months/holidays if it is interesting to look at.

I like that one. It seems similar to the Flylady's calendar, but much cheaper with free Amazon Prime shipping. I think I might buy that one. In the reviews it says it has real paper on the pages, so that makes it easier to write on.

That may be the one! Love the color scheme and the simple yet thorough pages. Thanks!
