Mary replaced her "Life is so Daily" calendar with this one and it is not user friendly! It only shows one week at a time and you have to re-write each persons name on the side each week. It is waaaay too many pages and uses waay to much paper plus it is half the size of a regular calendar because you see one week at a time. My family was so used to her other calendar and this one is not working. Sadly I had to go with a different calendar with the same lay out as the "Life is so Daily" calendar that we have loved for years! Hope she changes it back for next year!

This calendar is not as useful for my family as I had hoped. It would be best for a family with lots and lots of activities, otherwise the page-a-week format is not good for long range planning. When you turn to the full month layout, you don't have the pictures. I don't recommend this calendar.

I too, am disappointed in this new format. I have missed several appointments b/c for some reason I am not disciplined enough to write everything down on the calendar twice - which you pretty much have to do (once on the monthly page and then again on the weekly page). I really want to be able to see a month at a glance. Also I miss having a full sized calendar hanging on my wall. Finally, in order to look at months more than 6 months ahead I have to take it off the wall and flip it around and keep flipping the calendar over completely to see the different months. I keep getting lost and unable to find each month.

Ms. Englebreit's previous family calendar worked so well! I bought one every year. This is a poor substitute for busy Mom's and family's who have to get things at a glance. Weekliy views just don't paint the same picture as seeing the month of activities laid out.

Too thick. Not nearly as good as the previous beloved Family Calendar.

BRING BACK THE OTHER FORMAT!!!!!!! PLEASE...

Gave this calendar to 2 busy moms.They were very glad to receive them.I know there are stickers and many organizational tools. Bravo!

I agree with the reviewer above. For years, I bought the Susan Branch calendar - which is lovely - but we needed more space for each day. Last year, I found Mary's Life is Daily Calendar - and it was PERFECT for us. It had the whimsical artwork I love - plus all the space we needed - and I could easily see the whole month's activities. This year's change to this new format is not working for me at all. I don't like it - the whole calendar is smaller - and the format is just not easy to use. Plus, it's really important that I am able to glance at my calendar and see what activities are scheduled the entire month. I can't do that now without flipping through pages. If she keeps this format - I won't by the calendar again.

This calendar is great for someone who has lots to do and needs space to write it all down. This calendar has both weekly pages and the traditional month page. It's easy to flip through the weeks to look ahead.
