This is the perfect calendar to plan family activities/ vacations for a year. Because everything is on one (huge) page it's easy to keep track of things. There isn't all that much space to write in the boxes and it's a good idea to keep a smaller month calendar for the nitty-gritty.That the calendar is paper and not erasable is a big plus. You can just roll up the calendar and keep it for later, as a family memory (when exactly did we do this, that?).It's easy to hang up with a plastic hanging hook that's alreday attached on the back. The calendar is light so all that's needed is a light tack or nail.
