Kids and Various Sporting Activities

I had a conversation once with a woman who has three kids all involved in simultaneous multiple sporting activities. While secretly being thankful I was not in her shoes, I made a mental note of her tip for keeping all these activities straight. She charted two weeks' worth of her family's schedule on a dry erase board. Each child, sporting activity, time, place, and which parent would take the child were included. She claimed it was the only way possible to not miss a sporting event.
