Staying Organized in Style: Introducing Our Family Command Center Calendar

As a mom who’s juggled everything from soccer practices to college visits, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to keep track of everyone’s schedules. That’s why I’m thrilled to introduce our newest creation at Painted Shadow Designs: the Family Command Center Calendar. This isn’t just another wall calendar – it’s a solution I wished I had during those busy years in Seattle, and now it’s become an essential part of our new Montana life.

Why We Created This Calendar

Living in the mountains hasn’t slowed down our family’s pace – if anything, we’ve added more activities to our daily routine! Between Will’s school events, Jim’s projects, my design work, and keeping up with Jack’s college schedule, we needed a system that could handle it all. That’s where the idea for this calendar was born.

The Perfect Blend of Function and Style

Just like our home’s rustic modern aesthetic, this calendar combines practical functionality with clean, contemporary design. The generous 11″ x 16.5″ format gives you plenty of space to write, while the sleek layout ensures it looks beautiful in any room – whether it’s your kitchen, home office, or mudroom.

Features That Make Life Easier:

• Color-Coded Organization: Six lines per day, each in a different color, make it easy to track individual family members’ activities at a glance. No more wondering who has what, when!
• Flexible Display Options: Display one month or multiple months at once – perfect for both immediate planning and looking ahead to future events.
• Quality Materials: We chose high-quality paper stock that works beautifully with any writing tool – from your favorite pen to the kids’ colorful markers.
• Four Beautiful Color Schemes: Choose from Rainbow, Beachy, Greens, or Pinks to match your home’s decor.

Real-Life Applications

In our home, this calendar has become command central for everything from tracking Will’s extracurriculars to planning our DIY projects (like that barn wall transformation I shared earlier!). It’s especially helpful when coordinating with Jack’s college breaks or planning family visits to our new Montana home.

More Than Just a Calendar

What makes this calendar special is how it brings families together. It’s a visual reminder of everyone’s commitments and a central hub for family communication. Whether you’re managing a household of six or just trying to keep your own busy schedule straight, this calendar adapts to your needs.

Where to Find It

You can find our Family Command Center Calendar in our Etsy shop at etsy.com/shop/PaintedShadowDesigns. We’re offering four different color schemes to ensure there’s a perfect match for every home’s style.

Remember, good organization doesn’t have to sacrifice style. With this calendar, you can have both – and maybe even find a little more peace in your daily routine.

Stay organized,
