Why I’m Obsessed With My Skylight Calendar (And Why It’s Saving My Sanity)

Let me just start by saying this: I didn’t ask for diamonds or spa days this Mother’s Day—I asked for a calendar. And not just any calendar. A Skylight 10” touchscreen calendar that now lives on our wall and is slowly bringing order to our very real, very chaotic family life.

Because here’s the thing: between baseball tournaments, work meetings, school events, grocery runs, and that mystery appointment I definitely forgot to write down—I needed help. And not just a paper planner I’d forget about after 3 days. I needed something that my whole family could see, use, and stop asking me "what are we doing today?!"

Enter: the Skylight Calendar.

Why It Works for Us

✔️ It’s digital AND visual – We all walk past it daily and no one has an excuse for forgetting baseball practice or spelling tests anymore (looking at you, husband).

✔️ It syncs with our phones – I can update things from the car, the couch, or mid-chaos, and it shows up instantly on the screen.

✔️ Color-coded schedules – Kayden’s stuff is in blue. My work schedule is pink. Family stuff? Bright yellow. It’s weirdly satisfying.

✔️ It’s helping Kayden take ownership – He checks it himself to see when his games are. He even reminds me now. 10/10 would recommend.

✔️ And most importantly… it has a Reward Task System for Kayden AND a To-Do List for me.
The reward chart keeps him motivated to knock out small tasks (without me constantly reminding him), and I get to brain-dump my chaos into a checklist I can actually keep up with.

Why I Needed This as a Mom

I’m juggling a lot. Like a lot a lot. I’ve got my small business, content creation, trying to cook actual meals, keeping the dog from chewing everything, and oh yeah—keeping another human alive, fed, and emotionally supported. 😅

This calendar helps me get the chaos out of my head and onto a screen we can all see. It’s helping our family move as a team, not just me trying to hold everything together with sticky notes and coffee.
