Have no fear my fashion forward friends; help is here!!

Excel Rain Man proudly presents the Fashion Week Datebook to help you stay on point throughout.

Using this stylish spreadsheet is a cinch! Simply select Attending, Not Attending or Maybe attending from the complete list of runway events and voila!! Just push print and your own personal Catwalk Calendar appears! It even includes the event locations.

Stay on your game throughout Fashion Week without missing a beat or chipping a nail. Now work it girl!

Download your Fashion Week Datebook, for FREE, in the Tips &Tricks section of ExcelRainMan.com.

2. Super Parent Combo = KiddoKalendar + Chore Chart
It’s Back to School time! Don’t forget to grab your the Excel Rain Man KiddoKalendar and Chore Chart to get the school year started right!

The KddoKalendar will help parents keep track of recurring and special events on a monthly basis. It is extremely user-friendly and allows parents the flexibility to choose from pre-populated lists of typical child activities or create their own.

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.

Once you fill out the KiddoKalendar or make your chore schedule selections in the Chore Chart, just print them hang them in a central location! Don’t be scared to Bedazzle your Chore Chart with some 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)!

The KiddoKalendar and Chore Chart are available for a mere $4 each @ 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.

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