Oops.

Back in November, momAgenda contacted me and asked if they could send me one of their day planners to review. I got it in the mail, started adding my dates, times and life and promised a review to come mid-December.
That was then, this is now...

My very-late review of momAgenda's day planner:

• With five people's schedules, appointments, activities and events to keep track of, it definitely has lots of space to keep track of it all, and more.
• I love that the planner is small enough to tuck in my purse (or toddler bag) yet large enough to fit everything.
• The pages are beautiful, the only downside to this is I will only write in pencil inside of it. I'm sure this is a psychological condition I'm suffering from, but really, I can't seem to bring myself to even write with my favorite writing utensils, Sharpie fine point markers.


Pretty pages. Note these pages I'm showing you are blank. Hey, I don't want random people showing up at our activities. Oy!

• I also love that the book is attractive and doesn't necessarily look like the typical planner. Mine is chocolate brown and looks more like a book than a calendar on the outside.
• The pages have life inspiring quotes. Honestly, this is my favorite part of the planner. The day I received the planner in the mail, I immediately sat and paged through and read each and every quote. There are some really good ones.
• At between $35-$45 a calendar, I think it's a little on the pricey side, but as the old saying goes, every person needs a good calendar.

In the past I have used At-A-Glance Monthly Planners. I do miss seeing the entire month at a glance since I've used that planner since I graduated from college. It's been a huge adjustment to switch to a planner that only shows a week at a time. So far I haven't buckled and bought my trusty, reliable old calendar, but that's definitely not to say that I won't. (But keeping up two written calendars might be kind of tough then, wouldn't it?)

Speaking of calendars, after TheDHX wrote a little something about using Google Calendar for their blended family, our blended family signed on too and I'm enjoying the perks of having an online calendar and being able to share activities and events that affect the kids at both homes.


I still can't only have an online calendar. There is something about writing down my schedule, activities and events that really puts it in my mind when I do it.


So what about you? What kind of calendar do you use? How do you manage your schedules and time without missing or forgetting what's happening when?
