It’s mobile Boynton! Mom's Family Desk Planner moves seamlessly from desk to purse and is indispensable for moms on the go (and what mom isn't on the go?). Each handy week-at-a-glance grid features two columns—one for Mom's schedule and one for the whole family's schedules. In the back, Mom can record phone numbers for school, work, maintenance and repair people, and restaurants. Plus there are perforated grocery and "to do" lists, 150 full-color stickers, and storage pockets on the inside front and back covers. And, this being Boynton after all, the spreads are illustrated with a cast of lively, lovably charming animal characters.

Disappointed... (2008-10-11)

Let me preface this by saying I am a huge fan of the Boynton Wall calendar and have purchased one every year for several years. This year I decided to get the desk calendar as well and at first, I loved it. After taking an hour or so to enter in the kids school calendar, my school calendar, every birthday and special event for the year and anything else I could come up with, I was ready to go. The trouble started only a few days in when I noticed the first couple of pages were ripping out. I pulled out the clip that I was using to hold "old pages" and thought that I had solved the problem. One week later, I threw the Family Desk Calendar in the garbage. I loved everything about the calendar EXCEPT the fact that it kept falling apart...

Perfect Planner for Mom! (2008-03-10)

I've been a fan of Sandra Boynton's "Mom's Family Wall Calendars" for years, but last year, when I moved into my new house, I couldn't find a good place for it where it would be easily visible, and more importantly, usable. So this year, when I saw this planner, I was overjoyed!

Same great art spread out over 52 weeks with the same great stickers to use for every occasion! There's more than enough space to keep track of my stuff, along with both of my kids (although, for bigger, active families this could be an issue, as there is only a differentiation for 'Mom' and 'Kids', not the split available on the wall calendar). I use it daily (it fits in my medium size purse and goes everywhere with me) and have yet to miss an event, appointment or bill for that matter!

I love the to do and grocery (automatically makes chocolate #9 AND #10 on every list!), plus all the other extras in the back section!

Definitely recommend this product for every single mom out there. Even if you just leave it on your desk to flip through, you're going to find yourself better organized (oh, it has pockets, too!) and less stressed out!

The only CON I found was the adhesive for the pockets did not hold very well, but that was easily remedied with scotch tape.

Desk Planner (2008-02-19)

I love this desk planner, it has been wonderful. It has plenty of room to write in and cute pre made lists that are perfect for daily errands. I wouldn't choose any other after using this one

love it! (2008-02-14)

i love it, i love stickers and the lists and the mom/family divided days days... i tell every mom about it! one mom did say she loved it but needed the daily time record as well as just day, but that's the only complaint.

A Mom's must have!!! (2008-02-07)

This is my second year using this planner and I absolutely love it. I have a busy family of five, I find it to be very simple and easy to use. It's just a fun planner with all the stickers. It fits well in my purse and/or diaper bag. Great Christmas gift for friends who are mothers.

With Sandra Boynton's spirited chickens, cows, hippos, pigs, and mice running, skipping, and hopping through the pages plus its renowned organizational brawn, Mom's calendar is seriously hardworking— and seriously fun, too. To make it super-practical, the calendar covers sixteen months beginning in September. And the format is pure genius: The oversized grid is laid out on a vertical, with five columns across the top (one for each family member) and the days of the month reading down the left side. It's easy to see who's doing what, and when they're doing it, with just a glance. Includes 500 stickers and a handy write-on, wipe-off magnetic phone list for the fridge.

Best calendar ever made (2008-12-26)

Perfect for the busy mom- lets you keep track of everyone's activities- lots of fun stickers for the kids (or you)

Best Calendar Ever (2008-12-18)

I love this thing. I feel it is a must have for moms. It helps me keep track of my appointments, dad's, and both kids. Plenty of room to write nice and big! We are a family of four so it leaves us an extra column to keep up with birthdays. Everyone who comes over asks where I got it and how to get one. My sister now uses one too. Love it..no issues.

Great! (2008-09-18)

I love this calender! The format makes it easy to read & stay on top of things. There are five columns alongside the day of the week. The weekend days have a colored background. Each box (for each day/person) will easily allow upto four lines of text. With one child, and two adults in our family, there' enough room to stay on track. On the downside, only abbreviated notes can be entered. No space for any details as space runs out. As always, Boynton's fun graphics & bright colors make it a very attractive record of mundane day to day activities.

Good for a somewhat large family (2008-07-03)

It can be difficult to find a large calendar for a busy family with four children. I spend each December at the stores hoping to find the perfect blend of spaces for people with boxes big enough to write out their daily activities. This year I thought I'd try the Sandra Boynton calendar and am glad I did. With a space for each day, INCLUDING Saturday and Sunday and columns for four children it has been a perfect fit for us. So perfect, in fact, that I hope they are planning to do one exactly the same for 2009. If so, I'll continue to use this until we add another member to the family.

Now give us a journal/calendar for the schedule/journalers (2008-05-19)

Greatest family calendar out there! Helps keep us organized and teaches the kids to track the calendar. Fits on kitchen wall. All you need to keep everyone knowing where they're supposed to be any given day.

Not what I thought it would be.... (2008-11-11)

I am a homeschooling mom of 6 bought this planner with hope. It was not so. You might as well go to a retail store, buy a day planner, and write "Homeschool planner" on the front. That is about what you get with this planner. I wish I had NOT bought this book, but maybe it will work for you.

After I sent the above back to Amazon, I bought, "The Ultimate Homeschool Planner: The Last Planner You Will Ever Need" and it was well worth the money.

Keeps us organized (2008-03-14)

We've homeschooled our seven year old for several years now. We only have one other child (she's just 15 months). There is plenty of space for my needs -- we're "eclectic" in our homeschooling with lots of unschooling tendancies. For us -- this product is great! I love the fact that the left hand page (with the space for planning) has five blocks but is unlabeled. This allows you to either group five subjects or fill in five days..and they don't need to be M, T, W, Th, Fr...they can be whatever you want them to be. I like the roomy 8 1/2 by 11 pages. It's a perfect fit for our family's needs.

Good Organizer, TOO big for my purse (2007-07-10)

The layout is OK but the organizer is too big to carry in my purse. Maybe it was meant to be a desk organizer. I did not check the dimensions before placing my order. The product specs are correct, "10.9 x 8.8 x 0.5 inches." Also, the covers are not as sturdy as the ones in other homeschooling organizers I have purchased in the past.

This HS organizer is a better family organizer than a HS organizer. It does not have enough room for detailed day by day lesson planning but it works OK if you just want to keep track of lesson numbers or page numbers to be done during the week. I think this organizer was not meant for multiple students.

If you want to look inside this organizer before placing your order, go to Amy Knapp's website, www.familyorganizer.com.

Gardens of the Spirit 2008 Calendar

Strongly influenced by Shinto and Buddhism, the Japanese style of landscaping is particularly conducive to restoring an inner calm. Requiring an artful blend of imagination, skill and patience, the Japanese garden is an extension of the self. By adapting the harmonies of natural design to our own landscape, we heighten our understanding of the world around us and within us. The Gardens of the Spirit 2008 wall calendar features the exquisite images of professional garden photographer Allan Mandell. Paired with Maggie Oster's contemplative text, this collection of images brings the experience of Japanese gardening to all who long to create a peaceful oasis in the midst of a challenging world. Sample Caption: "Life's journey beckons us into the unknown. We cannot see the end, only the fewest steps before us. Even when we think we know what those steps will be, large or small, smooth or rough, we cannot fully know what each one will be like until we are there, only then if we allow ourselves to be totally in the moment, open to all the senses, completely aware. If we are distracted by what may be up ahead, where we've been before, by side paths, or fixed plans or concepts, then we become out of balance..."

Look up from your desk and calm your spirit (2007-01-19)

This calendar is a beautiful way to chart the passing of a year. The photographs are simple but profoundly beautiful, and can be kept and used in other ways after the year is over. The space for writing in events etc. is generous, and even ordering from the UK the calendar is no more expensive than those available here.

For the Zen-minded viewer (2007-01-11)

This calender shows beautiful photos of Asian-type landscapes and some thoughtful proverbs for the calm and zen-oriented mind.

Did it ever occur to you that the average stay at home mom has as many appointments, deadlines and meetings to attend as a CEO running a busy corporation? Well, it did to Jacquelyn Schack and that is why she has created the "Family Planner for the Household CEO." The planner is designed especially for today's busy woman, who is also a mom. Women today are no longer staying at home as the babysitter. Today's mom has endless demands in managing the household as well as her busy schedule and the busy schedules of her children. The Family Planner includes weekly calendar pages with facing organizer pages for phone calls, errands, grocery and kids activities (playdates, lessons sports). There is also an area for alphabetized frequently called numbers along with pages for both mom's and kids' friends numbers, babysitters, school numbers, children's organizations, doctors and medical information. The Family Planner allows mom to organize her schedule and household demands right along side her children's schedules. From the spill resistant cover to the Household CEO detachable business cards, this planner is an essential organizational tool for every woman who is truly the "Household CEO."

Thought Provoking (2008-02-12)

All tips so far have included a usable web link and, although many of the daily "tips" are not applicable for me personally, they are all at least thought provoking... and I enjoy that :)

Advertising, not environmentalism (2008-01-18)

This product is pure and simple advertising. Most pages feature a product and a website where it can be purchased. And some of the products are about as far off the environmentalism mark as it is possible to be. Today's (Jan. 18) example is a product called a pupcup. This is the pet equivalent of bottled water, a huge environmental no-no.
