It's a new year, and although I'm not big on new year's resolutions I am thinking about new ways to help me stay organized and better manage my time. Call me crazy, but in this age of smart phones and iPads I still love an old-fashioned day planner. I've been using them for years, but now as a mother of three I wanted to look for a day planner created with busy moms in mind. I checked out a few options on Amazon, but the Mom's Organizer by Plan Ahead got my vote. It has the standard features of any other day planner (monthly, weekly, resources and notes section), but what I really liked is how the weekly calendar is split out so you can devote one row to each child and keep track of their schedules separately. Other mommy-approved features are the party planning pages, expense report pages, and the list/notes section that you can actually tear out. But one really cute feature is that you can put a photo of your cuties on the front cover. Here are a few pics of mine.
Front cover with a place for your child's photo
Weekly calendar with space for each child's schedule
Extra pages for vacation ideas, shopping lists, and more
I've been using my day planner for about a week now and I really like it. My 4 and 2-year old have a lot of different special days at their school and it's nice to have them listed in one place so I don't miss anything. It's reasonably priced at $14.99, so I think this is a great investment for any busy mom.
