I wasn't sure how this calendar was going to work out but I really like it. The wet and dry erase markers work perfectly and it sticks to my eggshell-finish wall with no issue. It's been up for almost a month and it hasn't budged. The stickers and magnets apply to it easily and stay put, and it's very easy to wipe clean. My only critique is that it starts on Monday as opposed to Sunday. I know many people have a Monday-first calendar and that's what they're used to, but I am an exclusive Sunday-first calendar person so I always have to reorient myself to this calendar's layout when I'm looking at the week ahead. It helps that the weekend days are shaded, but it just looks "off" to me all the time because of the layout. But honestly that is my only critique, and it's obvious in the photos so it's not like you should be surprised by it. I would definitely recommend this calendar!
Pleeeeease bring it back! We need two 🥹
We tried the foam pieces first and they do work well but the magnets are amazing! You can write on them better and my kids enjoy the feeling of pulling them off our fridge. Go ahead and get them!
Every piece of this resource is high quality, packaged with care (and motivational sayings!) and has been a great tool to implement for our family.
I love all these stickers and the whole system. Works so well; kid loves it!
We love the weekly planner… it’s a great tool to use with our kiddo to help all of us plan out our week. Just wish there was a few more options like martial arts and swim lessons. Also the option to have therapies multiple a week would be helpful, in our case kiddo goes to speech two times a week but the pack only comes with one and writing it on a plain one by hand doesn’t match with the others.
Hi there! Thank you so much for your review! We actually do have reusable stickers for martial arts and swim lessons, and appointments for other therapies. You can find them here: https://mightyandbright.com/collections/all-reusable-stickers
This system is so simple and still very thorough. I have struggled with setting a chore schedule for myself my entire adult life. Add severe functional depression, and my place was never clean or picked up. It still isn’t, but I’m making progress in adding daily and weekly habits to change that. Starting small and adding as I feel comfortable as to not get overwhelmed and quit. The email support for setting up and managing the system is amazing. My therapist likes this for me too. 😊
I purchased a magnetic set for a family member, and I liked the stickers, magnets, and charts so much I knew I had to have one for myself. My adult daughters agreed, so I’m buying them for the rest of my immediate family. These sets are very well made and we can’t wait to replace our paper lists with them!
We have started to use our Daily/Weekly chart to minimize the nagging and increase the responsibility for our two children. They enjoy the visual reminder and I love how easy and simple it is to manage. We are slowly increasing the tasks as they get comfortable with the system.
I love having the option to have a chart on my non-magnetic fridge. I love how cleanly the dry erase wipes off. I’m still easing into the routine, but it helps to get stuff out of my head and where my partner can see it too.
The 'stickers' are actually plastic and can be removed super easily when you need to change up the routine. That simple yet profound design will keep this product in use long-term.
They have literally never wiped the counters down after dinner before. They each took a couple of closing duties rolls and only left one for me, This is unprecedented.
I wish there was a way to customize the sets. I don’t need some of the stickers. But need more of some others. But, I still LOVE it! Every morning we move the ‘today’ to the next day. He loves it too
Grown-Up Chore Charts for Managing Your House and Division of Labor
I love that this works for myself and my kids, I think it helps reinforce these are life skills that help everyone.
Absolutely love this system for my kiddo! He loves seeing what his week looks like and what is planned! Very easy to switch out stickers and magnets!
My kindergartner is autistic, and has trouble understanding the concept of time, as in today / tomorrow / next week, etc. We review the week's calendar every morning ("here is what we will do today") and every evening ("here is what we did today"). I think the visualization with the stickers and the repetition is helping her understand. She is starting to know that we have school on Monday through Friday, speech therapy on Thursday, etc. I do wish the stickers were a bit more customizable to cover more things that we do, but this is definitely a great start.
Really great idea. I love the variety of activities in the cards and my son likes picking what we do
Such a great product! Well made, excellent artwork, and it helped both my kids so much!
After trying several DIY solutions, we decided it was time to try a different approach. we went with the weekly schedules (I love the additions to the autistic specific pack), task bracelet and expansion packs for emotional regulation and room resets. Thank you for being an identity and disability affirming company.
Creates an opportunity to discuss chores with your partner in a team focused way. I can visually see what my partner does without me knowing. This product allows me to keep my chore to do list separate from my other to do list and so I don’t have to keep a mental list of chores I’ve done and still need to do. We aren’t shooting for perfection, just better communication and habit building to have a more functional family as we just had a baby and I am going back to work. The fridge is a great place for me to see these visual reminders. The magnets, stickers and board are high quality. I will definitely tell friends about it and order from mighty and bright again.
Since we began using the adult chore chart, I feel that the balance in the division of labour within my relationship has shifted dramatically. My partner always felt that we shared the housework easily. But the visual nature of the chore chart laid bare how much more I was doing at home compared to him. He has now increased his share of the burden, without being directly asked. He is even taking on some of the mental load behind arranging the chore chart itself. The topic of housework is one that we have argued over endlessly for years. I feel like the chore chart has solved a lot of these issues and helped us to overcome a persistently heartbreaking hurdle. Thank you Mighty + Bright. I salute you!
