I've been sent hundreds of samples over the years I've been at Cool Mom Picks—everything from perfume to tablets to vitamins. The one item I still use on a daily basis is my who-knows-how-many-years-old Skylight Calendar.
At first, I wondered if a digital family calendar I could hang in the kitchen would really make that much of a difference. It turns out, it does. Having everyone's schedules, activities, appointments, and to-do lists displayed in one place has dramatically reduced the daily "Wait…who's picking up who?" and "What's for dinner?" conversations.

You can use it for meal planning, chore assignments, countdowns to vacations, birthday reminders, and even a running grocery list the whole family can see. It even has a Disney add-on, so Elsa or Iron Man can encourage your kids to check off their to-do lists. For moms who don't like to nag, this is a game-changer.
If there's one thing to keep in mind, it's that the Skylight Calendar works best when everyone commits to using it. Take a few minutes to connect everyone's existing digital calendars, encourage family members to check it regularly, and you'll get the most value from it. The initial setup takes a little time, but once it's running, it is effortless.
Would I recommend it? Absolutely. For busy families juggling school, work, sports, social events, and everything in between, the Skylight Calendar helps replace daily chaos with a little more clarity. And honestly, anything that saves me from last-minute schedule surprises earns a permanent place in my home.
