Tip - I’ll have to check my schedule
You know how we all have a bunch of new calendar’s kicking around our homes? Well, now is the time to transfer birthday’s and anniversary’s from your old calendar to your new one. I am sure many of you have already done it, but I wanted to remind you just in case! It is so handy to have a list somewhere that you add to when your siblings have kids, get married or do anything else that you want to remember - try to reserve for happy things only ;). I like to include the year so you always have some idea how old every one is.
Take the time to make your list as complete as possible so that it is always an accurate reference at your fingertips. There are revolving calendars available, but I don’t really like them. I find that I never look at them (I have one and just took it down to update my new calendar) and the month it was on was October! Personally, I like setting my list up in Excel (or you could use your computer’s calendar program) and updating as things come up (programs like Google Calendar have a free calendar you can use online). Have fun playing detective and getting all the info you need!

I’m all about my calendar in my kitchen and I actually got ahead of myself and about a week before the end of the year, I transferred b-days, anniversaries, etc into my new ‘08 calendar and included the birth year (or marriage year) of every one. One of my goals this year is to send my nieces and nephews, siblings, parents, etc a card on their b-day. My husband uses iCal so if I ever want to check his schedule, I can hop on the computer real easy and do so. There are some things that are perma, like every Thursday I look after a couple boys from my church so that’s not on the calendar. I really like being old school though and having my calendar. Plus I found a really pretty one!
