Get the Classroom Ready with the Big Class Calendar

Get the Classroom Ready with the Big Class Calendar

I am a planner! Looking at my calendar is a daily task between appointments, work, not wanting to muss special occasions or birthdays and finding blocks of time to book travel. I work at our local high school so I also have to keep track of events and special schedules. The Big Class Calendar is brilliant! I can use it at my office to keep all school events front and center. It keeps my desk more free from planners and notepads with dates.

The calendar comes with printed months/dates for a specific year and starts with the month of July which is perfect as a class/school calendar. It also comes with dry erase markers in a few different colors and markers that fit the square space to highlight your most important dates or use to fit more notes on a particular day.

The Big Class Calendar measures 48” (width) x 36” (height). It keeps all of those important dates in your face on a wall and is easy for others to spot as well. This makes a great gift for anyone in the education profession – shop for your 2024-2025 calendar now.

Natural Products

My favorite Amazon products for 2024

Erin Sluka

I recently found myself reading through ideas for gifts I could get over the Holidays. Some people are hard to shop for and I need ideas. Other times, I want something for myself and am stuck on what has the best, authentic reviews.

I do pair up with brands as a Blogger. Many times I am sent product so I can try it myself and the brand hopes I will share. I am very particular who I partner with. I want to find brands that I would truly consider myself. I want brands that align with my voice in my blog – natural products, makes life easy and quality products.

I decided to keep track of such products I would love to share with you because I love and use these products myself. Not every brand I work with may fit in this post. Below is a list I will keep going in 2024 whenever I fall in love with its use or have a great experience with the brand.

Why I love this? I meal prep for work lunches and this bowl is actually big enough! It has a design that is not bulky at all, but gives a depth that allows my ingredients to mix well. Plus I seem to get compliments on it every time I use it places.

Lynn & Liana Acacia hardwood and an eco-friendly resin Baguette Board

Erin Sluka

One of my favorite servings is charcuterie and dessert is a great way to get creative on boards and save plates. Lynn & Liana Designs has gorgeous serving trays and cheese boards that are hand-poured and meticulously crafted individual works of art! What a better way to serve my Whiskey Fudge then on an Acacia Board that is stunning!

This board blends gorgeous Acacia hardwood and an eco-friendly resin and is more beautiful that the pictures can serve when you receive it. It comes in a stunning black box for gifting. These baguette boards are perfect for serving a group of 3-5 people, unless you use it for small desserts where you can display more.

The size without the handle is 5″ x 19″ x 5/8″ and the handle adds 5″, so it is a great decor piece to stage when not in use in your kitchen or bar. You have 10 pattern choices- this one I have is Caribbean Blue. You can find marble, quartz, onyx designs and more.

Lynn & Liana Designs serve wear makes fantastic gifts and you can order on their website of via their Amazon shop.
