About us

How Did We Get Started?
In 1993, Deborah Barkhouse, a busy mother of three young children, searched everywhere for a calendar with lots of writing room to help her organize her busy family schedule.  She soon discovered that no company in Canada made them. So she decided to make her own! MotherWord Inc. printed the very first family calendar in Canada in 1994.  This school year calendar has been a lifesaver for busy families across Canada.  Now, instead of sticking a reminder note on the fridge, parents stick Mom's “Ultimate Family Fridge Calendar” there instead. Parents and kids can see an entire month worth of activities at a glance!
Over the years, MotherWord listened to the improvements that parents wanted to see and the calendar has evolved to have 16 monthly pages (still starting in September), 432 Reminder stickers and six large magnets to stick the calendar to the fridge.
