I came across Beth Dargis’s Simplicity Calendar through a newsletter I subscribe to (I love good newsletters!), and it really appeals to me. It’s free if you subscribe to her newsletter (which I suspect will be great).
This reminds me vaguely of several magazines I’ve read over the years. There was something, maybe put out by Focus on the Family, that I had when I was in my early teens that had a monthly calender in the back of each issue with an issue or celebrity to pray for each day (the details are a little fuzzy; am I making this up?).
A more recent magazine is Martha Stewart Living, in which Martha posted “her calender” in the front of each issue. Did she do this while she was in prison? I think it reverted to generic stuff (plant things on the 30th) or maybe disappeared entirely. I’m not faithful enough a reader to know.
Anyway, I’ve downloaded Beth’s calender and it looks great! Today’s idea is “Have the kids start to go to bed earlier”—which is, incidentally, a great idea, having them start the school routine early enough to ease into it, but I don’t have kids. Guess that makes it a free day for me!
I may use some of these as jumping off points for my blogs.
