| MississippiMom's Full Review: Sandra Boynton - Mom's Family Desk Planner Septemb... |
Moms are busy people. Sometimes we wonder how in the world can we keep up with our busy schedules let alone remember when and where we need to be.
Over the years I used post it notes, scrap pieces of paper hanging on the refrigerator, notebooks, or wrote important dates on the calendar to remind me.
My daughter is a very busy Mom of 4, between school functions, rehearsals, sports and appointments for her family, post it notes and such would not work for her. She needs a daily planner. Something she can keep close at hand to write down the important times and dates. Mom’s Family Desk Planner is the perfect Solution!
Since the time she was a teenager she kept a journal and had her own planner to keep herself organized. Now that she is a Mom of 3 active school aged children and a 1 year old, sometimes she has to be in 4 places at once.
She had found Sandra Boynton’s Mom’s Family Desk Planner at our local Barnes and Noble bookstore. This addition covers from September 2008 through December 2009. It’s not only the perfect solution for her, it’s also a fun planner with colorful animated pictures throughout the pages and includes 2 pages of stickers that easily peel off to place on important dates.
Some of the stickers have written words such as NO School, 1/2 Day, School Event, Field Day, Practice, Dance Class, Recital, Music lesson, Rehearsal etc. other ones have animated cartoon images of a dancing hippo or a chicken with a party hat, dog for vet visits, a bird playing a guitar for music lessons just to give you an idea of the cute stickers included with this planner.
When you first open the planner there is a storage pocket to place coupons, notes, or as it says Stray $100 bills. Then you find the two pages of stickers, next there is an at a glance calendar for 2009 and 2010.
The planner begins with September 1, 2008 there are two vertical columns that measure about 1’ by 2 1/2” for each day. One side is for Mom to write her appointments and the other column is for Family. There is 7 days from Monday to Sunday on each of the pages. I also like that on each page there is a small calendar for the month prior to the date and the current month and the following month. So if you need to plan a future date you have it right in front of you. On the left hand side of the page you will find an animated picture drawn by Boynton.
In the back of the planner is a section for phone numbers. it is designed and ideal for your child’s teacher’s name and phone number. Your child’s Friends name and phone number.
There is a section for Useful numbers such as School, child care, Medical, Pharmacy, Hair Salon, Florist etc.
Finally in the back of the planner you will find pages and pages of easy to tear out lists for your grocery shopping or “Things I MUST DO IMMEDIATELY” which is quite handy for those busy days on the run. Tear it out and off you go with your handy list in hand to get things done for the day.
On the inside of the back cover there is another storage pocket to keep any receipts or whatever in place.
I would recommend this for any busy Mom who needs to keep up with her family appointments and busy schedules to keep everything organized and at a glance.
The planner measures: 8.1 x 5.7 x 0.8 inches. 206 pages. I am not the best at describing some things but I would say the cover feels like a file folder with some sort of coating to make it sturdy with a wire binder. The pages are not real flimsy and easy to write on with a ball point pen.
This planner is written in English by Sandra Boynton, published by Workman Publishing Company and printed in China.
