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.

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.

I have 2 schoolkids, husband, preschooler & a nanny schedules' to manage on top of mine. This does it all.

A quick glance in the morning and I know if Nanny has to leave early, if I've forgotten a birthday party, if there's a soccer- piano clash.... Can't manage without it.

And the cartoons won't fail to cheer you up which helps when you're completely overwhelmed. Moms! get this!!

Last year I purchased two calendars. One for my sister and one for myself. We loved them!! My sister just mentioned that she wanted to get another one for 2004. It's everything it advertises; easy to read at a glance, large spaces to write kids'activities, etc. Don't know how I lived without it before. This year I'm buying them for gifts for family and friends. This simple thing has made my sister and I feel a little better and a little less stressed! We needed that, Thanks!

The Calendar is great for families! The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it would be really nice if the calendar would start at the beginning of the school year instead of January. There is another Mom's calendar out there called Mom's Plan-It that starts in August. I actually prefer the Mom's Family format because you only have to write the family member names once per page, but I like the fact that the Mom's Plan-It Calendar is 17 months.

What a fabulous organization tool for families! This will be our fourth, much less stressful year of using Mom's Family calendar. I'm ordering late, and have been absolutely lost without it so far. My only gripe is that there are more than five people to schedule for in our household!

I have been using this calendar for three years for a family of six. Mom and each child gets a column (dad shares with mom) and it works beautifully! There is enough space for everyone's events and happenings. The graphics are also great - the kids are all well versed on the calendart. There is no such calendar out there. Keep publishing it!!

I love this calendar. It took some getting used to but now I'd never go back to a regular calendar. It is a great organizational tool for this mom with 3 kids and a traveling husband. The stickers are a cute bonus too.

This is one of the best calendars out there if you have a busy family. We all like being able to see at a glance who will be doing what on any given day, and it makes scheduling for the family at a glance much easier. This is a calendar that I have gotten year after year sense getting it as a gift the first time around. I also enjoy that it begins the "year" by the school year (beginning in Aug. I believe it was) - not January to January like many calendars out there, so you actually can get a full years use out of it instead of having to switch out calendars during the holiday season when there are already a ton of things going on.
