Mom's Family Calendar 2008 by: Sandra Boynton publisher: Workman Publishing Company released: 2007-06-30 ISBN: 0761145613 $12.99

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.

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.

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.

I bought the 2008 calendar based on other reviews and I was disappointed. We have 2 young kids, but even with their activities (and mom's & dad's), the vertical column set-up leaves really small squares to write a few basic words. The stickers are cute but there's no room to put them because the squares are so small - and there weren't that many "sports" stickers suprisingly. Plus, I don't know if you're supposed to use a special pen with the glossy paper, but if you use a regular ballpoint, the impressions bleed onto the next page. The monthly pictures are cute because we really like the Boynton books, but other than that, I'm sorry to say that I'm going to look for a different calendar.

With the vertical arrangement of the month and numbers/ boxes that are large enough to be read from accross the room, this calendar is perfect for me. No more missed dental appointments and forgotten birthdays. The kids love using the enclosed stickers to decorate special days. I do wish this calendar came with a pocket or an easy way to attach important items for a month (tickets, coupons, etc.)

Love this product, it is so handy at keeping tabs on our busy schedule. The only drawback, I can see, is that it just fits our family size and we don't have a big family. If we had one more child, we would run out of spaces.

2008 BusyBodyBook Personal & Family Organizer: Brown by: Joan Goldner publisher: About Your Time released: 2007-08-01 ISBN: 097447682X $11.53

This is excellent for those of you that have more then one thing on your plate. I split the weeks between personal each class and work. I love this thing!!!!

This calendar is great! I needed something small enough to fit in my diaper bag, but big enough in which to fit all of my appointments. The columns seriously help me stay organized by keeping my home, family, business and church events separate and easy to read. I'm buying one every year.

I love the idea of this planner - just what I was searching for. My only complaint is the size of the scheduling boxes --- too small. There's tons of open space on the facing pages, but the calendar section iteslf is no larger than any other calendar of the same size.

I could not ask for a better calendar! I love having all the different rows of boxes to write in. I use one for me, one for family, one for my sewing projects, one for a to do list for the day and there is an extra that I use for anything that strikes my fancy that week. I like the size and the color. I would soooo recommend this to anyone!!

This is the second year I have used this method to try to keep my family calendar organized. It is the best method yet! There is a place for each of us to schedule our events and keep track of appointments. I would recommend this product for any busy family! It does take a little getting used to the format though.

Mom's Plan-It 2008 Magnetic Mount Wall Calendar by: Avalanche Publishing publisher: Avalanche Publishing released: 2008 ISBN: 1598686763

This is the best calendar I've found for busy families. Layed out in a way to keep track of each member of your family. I really love it!

Mom's Plan-It Organizer Calendar: August 2007-December 2008 with Sticker and Magnet(s) by: Avalanche Publishing publisher: Avalanche Publishing Company released: 2007-07 ISBN: 1598688243 $13.99

I have purchased this type of planner for the past 3 years. The layout makes it very helpful to keep track of the many activities going on. The large spaces for writing in events is especially helpful as is the extended year.

Very well thought out calendar for the family, unlike some calendars that look they were designed by publishers without kids.(Spaces too small, pictures to big, too many stickers for "Vet appointment".

Worth purchasing if you are debating between similar calendars, this one is tried and true. I'm surprised by other bad reviews of this because its has Christian stickers. Seems to me those folks may need a little religion if they are going to get so uptight over a little ol' calendar, especailly when Amazon's return policies are so easy.Silly! I daresay being the happy, unstressed Right Wing Christian that I am, if this came with a bunch of Buddhist stickers, I wouldn't think a thing of it and use those stickers for "yoga" days or something productive, I wouldn't go schizo on Amazon.

Lovely utilitarian calendar. More efficient than the Sandra Boynton one.

I rarely use the stickers in a calendar anyway.

I am really disapointed in this calendar. I use another version this calendar every year the one I thought I was getting. No where in the decription did it list it was a Christian version much to my surprise when I opened it up and saw all of these stickers for church outings. Very disapointed in how this was listed it really wouldn't be that hard to mention it would it? Now I have to go buy the non specific planner.

This is a wonderful calender! The stickers are nice, but not always the right ones. There are a lot of church related ones. The magnet is cool but you can't put anything too heavy in the pocket.
I will buy another next fall!

This calendar is awesome. I got one as a Christmas gift for 2006 and thought I'd never use it. Last year when it came time to buy a calendar for 2007 I got just a normal one and boy did I miss the organization! I decided to get a 2008 one early that is a 16 month calendar because I missed it so much! All moms (and dads) should have this!

Mom's Family Desk Planner 2008 by: Sandra Boynton publisher: Workman Publishing Company released: 2007-06-30 ISBN: 0761145621 $12.99

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

this is the ideal calander for the organized mom. With four kids and a home business, I could not live without this.

Mom's Plan-It 2008 Softcover Engagement Calendar by: Avalanche Publishing publisher: Avalanche Publishing released: 2008 ISBN: 1598686542

I happened across this book one day at an office supply store. Glad I did. I can now keep track of doctor appointments, play dates, birthdays, phone #'s and so much more. I was constantly loosing the pieces of paper that I would jot notes down on. I can't wait to get the 2009 version which just came out. I like the little rip out grocery list feature as well. Plenty of space for any busy mom. Oh and no writing in your own calendar dates.

This is TRULY the greatest planner ever! I actually bought one of these before I was even a mom because a friend of mine had it and I loved the layout. I have bought one every year since! Each page is a full week with plenty of space to write what you have that day as well as any reminders. There is also a "To Do" space on each page and perforated sides for grocery items and weekly menu. I LOVE it! I honestly cannot think without having this planner right beside me...it keeps me on track in life!
