Family calendar

8 replies

OrderInChaos · 12/09/2025 18:24

I'm looking for a calendar that has enough space to put multiple events on a day for different people in the family. I got a family calendar from photobox with a column for each family member but the rows are so thin I can only fit one thing on per person so it's useless.
some days we have nothing but some days we have swimming + birthday party or two clubs/activities or two appointments etc
I don't want wipeclean, I like to be able to write it on when it gets booked.
Any tips?

I have the same problem! I did exactly what you did two years ago and it didn’t work.

This year I got an A3 photobox wall calendar with 3 columns : the first column was labelled “A.M.” , next was “P.M.” and last was “Notes”.

It still isn’t really big enough but I used different coloured pens for different kids so I can see whose activity is whose.

What about something like this with a week per page?

Have you tried Mum’s Office they have some nice stuff and it’s usually well designed. I have a very specific one I buy year in and out but pretty sure it would be too small for your purposes!

The mums office calendar looks great, sold out at the minute but hopefully it will come back in stock soon...thank you for this, love the diaries too!
