DIY: Family Calendar & Personalized Boxes for Homeless Papers



Me: "Why didn't you tell me you have to work? I told the kids we're going sledding?"

Hubby JP: "My schedule is never a secret. You have access to my Outlook!"

This random argument happened because of false assumptions. Right then, our family decided to create a calendar visible for everyone. Outlook is nice but it's a hassle to open and the other activities that do not pertain the family makes it more complicated. 

We checked for ready-made family calendars but they are either expensive or too intricate to fit the family's needs. Then we saw some boxes at Sam's. These are the free boxes that they give away to hold bulk purchases. 

For no expense, we made our own Family Calendar:


Extra Boxes


Dress the box with beautiful gift wrappers!


We printed the calendars from outlook. Everyone agrees to update it during our monthly meeting!





During school days, we have papers, books, some mails that pile up the dinner table. So I made a home for these too:






Then everybody is happy!

Sometimes the random arguments can stir us to make something beautiful...

Enjoy your day.
