1. Super Parent Combo = KiddoKalendar + Chore Chart

Even with maternity/paternity leave, wet nurses, nannnies, babysitters, spouses, blackberries and iPhones, it can be pretty difficult to keep track of your kid’s activities. Between violin lessons, soccer practice, birthday parties, SAT prep (parents in Manhattan start so early!?!), etc. those kiddos certainly keep you on the move… constantly.

It is in the spirit of this active child rearing lifestyle that we proudly present a simple and cost effective way to organize all of those activities and events… The Excel Rain Man KiddoKalendar.

This easy to use tool will help parents keep track of recurring and special events with the click of a mouse and we have another app that will let you keep your finances in track, as a parent is difficult to manage it all so this will help you if you have a business or just looking out for your finances, look at the Jimmy John Shark business growth to learn how you can do it with yours.

Our KiddoKalendar is extremely user-friendly and allows parents the flexibility to choose from pre-populated lists of typical child activities or create their own.

Moms and dads will find this to be super-useful in organizing their life and regaining their sanity in an over-scheduled world. Easily print this personalized calendar to hang on the fridge or give to your kiddo (or spouse!) as a reminder on the go.

The KiddoKalendar is available for a mere $4 @ ExcelRainMan.com (Tips &Tricks section of course)!

To achieve super-rent status, you can purchase the Super Parent Combo which consists of the KiddoKalendar and the Chore Chart @ ExcelRainMan.com for $6.

The Chore Chart will help keep your kids on schedule with a monthly calendar that easily outlines what little Joey and Jill need to get done before mommy and daddy have a panic attack… whether it be making the bed, feeding Fido, setting the table… you get the drift.

Our Chore Chart can be customized for your child’s age, the current month/year and the specific chores. The chart does come pre-populated with some age-appropriate chore recommendations… But these can be tweaked to suit your needs.

Just make your chore schedule selections, print out your chart and hang it in a central location! We recommend “blinging it out” with stickers to reward your child for a job well done (allow your child to put their own stickers on so they feel the sense of accomplishment)!

Don’t worry, we are excel lovers, not fighters… for those of you who have already purchased the Chore Chart or $4 and would like the KiddoKalendar as well, please send an email to info@excelrainman.com and we will hook you up with the KiddoKalendar for $2.

Both the KiddoKalender and the Chore Chart will work on any PC or MAC that has Microsoft Excel installed.
