Part calendar. Part workbook. All theirs.

The first page tells kids exactly how to use it. Here's the short version.

  1. Color-code your days. Pick a color for each home so the week makes sense at a glance.
  2. Add the fun things. Yes days, sleepovers, field trips. Write them in or use the stickers.
  3. Don't forget the important stuff. Haircuts, doctor visits, project due dates.
  4. For when feelings get big. Turn to the tools pages.
  5. Have fun. Plans change and mistakes happen. That's OK.

Our story

Made because nothing else existed.

Kirsten's daughter Sailor was getting overwhelmed. Who's picking her up from gymnastics? When is she switching homes? She was too young for a phone, and regular calendars weren't made for her life.

So Kirsten and her friend Chris made one that was. Maxine McCrann drew every page.

“Both homes are yours. Full stop.”

Good questions

Good questions. Simple answers.

A few things you might be wondering about your little homie's new sidekick.

What is the 2Homies Calendar & Workbook?

2Homies is a spiral-bound, yearlong calendar and workbook made for kids who split their time between two homes. It has weekly pages to color-code each home, plus feelings tools, creative prompts and a full sticker sheet.

It's designed to travel with your kid from one home to the other, so they always have their own plan in hand.

What age is 2Homies for?

It's made for kids ages 6 to 14. Younger kids lean on the colors, stickers and drawing space. Older kids tend to run the calendar on their own and use the feelings pages more privately.

Do we have to start in January?

No. Every page is undated, so you can start the week you get it, at the start of the school year, or right when a new schedule begins. Kids write the dates in themselves.

Does it work with our family's custody schedule?

Yes. Because kids color in each day themselves, it works with any arrangement: week on, week off, 2-2-3, every other weekend, split holidays, or a schedule that changes month to month.

Pick a color for each home and the pattern shows up right on the page.

How can I help my child adjust to living in two homes?

Most kids do better when the schedule is predictable and visible, when they have a little control over it, and when their feelings about the change are welcome. Kids also do better when both homes are treated as really theirs.

2Homies was built around those ideas: a calendar they can read themselves, pages to name feelings and calm down, and prompts for celebrating what they love about each home.

Does the calendar go back and forth between homes?

Yes, that's the idea. One book travels with your kid, so the plan goes where they go. There's even a page inside that says "If you find this book, please contact one of my adults" with space for a phone number.

Can we use it together?

Yes. Many families fill in the week together at the start of each stay. It's a low-pressure way to talk about what's coming up. The feelings pages belong to your kid, though, so let them decide what to share.

What's inside the book?

Weekly calendar spreads with space to color-code each home, a how-to-use page written for kids, a feelings wheel, a star breathing exercise, prompts like "Name four things that inspire you" and "Things I love about each house," plenty of drawing space, and a full sticker sheet for yes days, sleepovers, field trips and more.

Does it work for every kind of family?

Yes. Two moms, two dads, a mom and a dad, a grandparent, a guardian, a stepparent. Whoever home is, the book never assumes. Kids name and color their homes however fits their life.

Is it only for families going through divorce?

It was made for kids whose parents are separated or divorced, but it fits any kid who lives in two places, including kids who split time with grandparents or other caregivers.

Is it a good gift?

It makes a thoughtful gift for a kid going through a separation or divorce, from a grandparent, aunt or uncle, family friend, teacher or counselor. It gives them something that's just for them during a time that's often about the grown-ups.

Is this a replacement for professional support?

No. 2Homies is a helpful everyday tool, but it isn't therapy. If your child is really struggling, please reach out to a pediatrician, school counselor or a child therapist. Many families use 2Homies alongside that support.

How much is shipping, and how fast does it arrive?

Shipping is free in the U.S. Orders ship in 3 to 5 business days. Shipping to Canada is a flat $29.50.

Can I return it?

All sales are final, so we can't take returns. If your book arrives damaged, contact us and we'll make it right.

Who made 2Homies?

2Homies was created by Kirsten Ludwig and Chris Danton after watching Kirsten's daughter Sailor try to keep track of life between two homes. Every page is illustrated by Toronto artist Maxine McCrann.
