Summer time for moms can be very difficult. With the kids being out of school and vacations, even day trips for that matter, I often feel like I may lose my little mind trying to keep track of all our schedules. I swear I fall asleep on Sunday night, wake up, and it’s Wednesday. If it weren’t for a very convenient and well positioned Magnetic Weekly Planner in our house we would completely fall apart.
Magnetic Weekly Planners
There is so much to love about an organizational system you can interact with easily. Magnetic Weekly Planners might be the perfect communication tool for several reasons including Location, Structure, and Versatility.
Location
Our Magnetic Weekly Planner lives on the refrigerator which is truly the nucleus of our household. Everyone walks by it and you can see it immediately when you walk in the door. I love that it is eye level so I can catch new details my husband has added while I was out of the house. There are a few other places I could put another including my office door, which is metal, and magnetic! Ta-da! {I really should have two!}
Structure
Our Magnetic Weekly Planner from Flat Harmony is BIG. It is 17” x 12” which really makes it look like its own piece of artwork on your fridge. Bonus, they ship it to you flat so there are no fold lines! The writing side is laminated so that it wipes clean easily. My favorite part might be the large section at the bottom for extra Notes and important details. Right now, I have our family, color-coded legend there so we know who is included in the upcoming events.
Versatility
Presently, I’m using our Magnetic Weekly Planner to keep track of all our outing and events. In the summer, most of our chaos comes from the places we must be, pack for and events we’re expected to attend or prepare for. In one week, as you can see, we had a few Day Trips, a Birthday Party, and a River Rafting adventure. This is just the busiest time of the year for us and these are the hardest things for me to wrap my head around as a mom. If I didn’t walk by them, and see them on the Magnetic Weekly Planner I would surely forget to prepare for something.
I’m sure I’ll be using this in the fall for school homework assignments and field trips. I’ll have to write down the days I’m volunteering in the classroom as I’m sure I’ll be trading around with other moms and I’ll never keep all of that straight in my own head. Then when the holidays c ome around, it will be nice to keep track of when and where we must be all over again!
Are you ready to organize your chaotic schedule? I’m glad I did! This convenient Magnetic Planner is one more item I’m adding to my Summer Essentials List for Moms!

Summer is the perfect time to build up your bookshelf. It is also the time when we moms really star t taking pictures of those precious summer memories. Or, if you’re like me, you’re taking pictures all day long. Whether you’re an avid scrapbook-er, home video maker, social media influencer, etc. I bet you’re taking as many pictures of your kids as possible because, well, that’s our generation. But how many times are you in front of that camera? Better yet, how many times have you been fully present in the fun that’s happening in front of that camera? I asked myself these same questions recently and then coincidentally found this Children’s book.
About the Author
I happen to be the mom of a very rough & tumble, totally awesome boy. Many of you know my son Wyatt, who is 2.5 years old. He has his own hashtag on Instagram… Last week he held a 30-second plank, took a bite out of his brother and did a major face plant on his bike, then hopped right back on it. {wearing a helmet of course} He is one tough cookie. I confess, some days it is hard to be his mom, but he is everything I want in a son, brave & fearless. As we head into summer I plan a little differently for Wyatt than I do for Cash. His Summer Essentials are a little more “fitting” we could say to his personality.
