Mom's Family Calendar 2004 (Workman Wall Calendars) [Illustrated] [Calendar]

Sandra Boynton (Author)

Book Description

Series: Workman Wall Calendars | Publication Date: August 15, 2003

This is the one you have to have, because it's the one your customers have to have. Selling out early every year, Mom's Family reinvented the calendar seven years ago, and never looked back. That's because nothing is more useful for keeping track of busy families than this ingeniously formatted wall calendar that has the soul of a detail-obsessed planner. In a world of sheer busy-ness--soccer games and piano lessons, dentist appointments and PTA meetings, swim meets and Brownies, business dinners, school conferences, and more--this is the easiest way to see at a glance what everyone is doing, and when. The grid is blown up to a large vertical with columns across the top--one for Mom, one for Dad, three for the kids--and the days of the month read down the left-hand side. One look, and you can see it all. And then, of course, it's Boynton. The cows, the lions, the hippos, the chickens--ah, the chickens. The charm is irresistible. Even the busiest among us have time for a smile.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too Much Gloss, December 30, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Mom's Family Calendar 2004 (Workman Wall Calendars) (Calendar)

Last year I used the Mary Engelbreit's "Life is Just So Daily" calendar and it worked out well. For a change of pace I ordered the Boynton calendar and although I like the graphics, I discovered a big problem. The glossy paper does not accept pencil very well, so I'm forced to use pen or permanent marker. Since schedules are always changing, I prefer to use pencil and will probably end up replacing the Boynton calendar with the Engelbreit.

I have been using this calendar since about 1998--LOVE it! Such an innovative idea!! It gives busy parents and their almost over-scheduled kids lots of room to fill in all the activities of the day...I wish I had a scaled down version to take to work and play dates with other families!
My husband and I have been raving about this calendar for years.

2.0 out of 5 stars Where am I?, January 23, 2004

Maybe it's just me, but with the dates of the month printed vertically down the side of the page, I have a hard time telling where we are in the month at a glance. I prefer the conventional calendar layout.
