At the beginning of the year, I fill out a calendar with everyone in my and my husband's families' birthdays and anniversaries. I write their names and how old they will be be, then hang this calendar in the bathroom where everyone is sure to see it. I keep an ink pen on the calendar for anyone to add a little note about whatever might be coming up in that month. This helps everyone to remember birthdays and anniversaries. Everyone that comes to my home thinks this is a great idea.
