Mom Planners: What make the best... The best.

2009-2010

School is starting folks. For some it has already begun!Today it started for us.

Of all the things I am passionate about it is my time. My time to do things, and have control over. I don't usually either of these things TIME or CONTROL. (See in Fig. 1) This seems to be my latest trick.

Hence, I obsess over tools, tricks and tips to give me as much time possible.


I am a Mom so I need something that is fun to look at, and I can relate to. UM......Hard to find for me ;)

Here is some of the best of what is out there. Thoughts and links are beneath each picture.

MORE TIME MOMS Mom's Agenda


These are easy on the wallet, slick smooth format of the weeks. Kind of a two for in the world of aesthetics. I like the set up of the monthly budget planner page.


Circa 2010 Weekly Agenda Notebook Junior


I just love how this is set up. So sleek like a desktop calendar. It is just straight up pretty and you can find others like it here.

Bob's Your Uncle 8 Days a week Planner Journal

I love that you don't have this one dated. It is perfect for the notes and journal I seem to combine anyways. The cover is happy and cheery, perfect for the inside of my purse.


momME Weekly Planner Sheets

I included these because they would be a fold and go. I only think I would fold and went ;) in my world right now but in the near future I do like this model. I just need all the wee ones in school first :) I am for sure getting this system when things slow down around here.


The MomAgenda


This has all the bells and whistles for moms and what they need. I just need a landscape view of my weeks. They are very hip and come in some awesome colors as well as durable covers for us messy types.


Busy Body Book Family and Personal Organizers


This is one of the ones I was really taken with. Cute cover designs. And awesome for the family schedule that is visible so you know when to leave. And for me when to set an alarm to leave :) I may have to get one of the wall calendars (scroll down to the bottom). SUPER FAB.


So I decided to make my own :)



Ok so the top area is the weekly schedule Starting with Monday.

The second area for the important things to concentrate on. "Priorities"

Then there are "Ideas" areas for your children and hubby. Or the categories you have some idea about. Ha Ha. There are lines so you can add your own time schedule for each day. It has helped me really focus on the things I need to.

The inside pages are only printed on one side. So I can take notes on the page above the week. I have been using it for a month now and I LOVE how it focuses my brain. Check back with me next month when I have left it somewhere and can't function lol. That is until I print out another one :)

Based on this idea. The only complaint about the originals I had was they weren't "pretty" enough :) I reversed the design and made them blank so I could fill in the dates. I just printed it and spiral bound it. Oh and had them laminate the covers.
