Mom's Family Calendar 2009

New item arrived promptly in New Zealand. Efficient and speedy service. Highly recommend.

I'm from Portugal and the last time I went to America (2 years ago) I found this incredible calendar in a bookshop. Everyone in my family began to use it everyday and it quickly became a "must" in my kitchen, so the next year I try to purchase it from the internet - now it's the third year. The images and the stickers are great! Kids just want them to put in their books... I wish it had more birthday stickers...

Great Calendar for a family of 5 or less. We have been using these the past 3 years.

this is the best planning calendar I know of. The vertical format is easy to use and visible across a room, which is a major plus at my house. There are enough columns for 6 people and the paper is not ink resistant. That may seem trivial, but most wall calendars are too darn glossy to write on legibly. How can you use a planning calendar if you can't write on the wretched thing with any ordinary pen? I get a kick out of Boynton's character drawings as well. The calendar usually includes a page of stickers for major events such as birthdays, anniversaries, music lessons, and appointments, which the memory challenged at my house count on to keep themselves out of hot water with other family members. And the price is good too!

I have used these calendars for the past three years, as I find them to be the most easy to use while organizing my two kids, dog, husband, and myself. Each member of the household has their own column going vertically down the page, so I can easily scan the month to see what activities my individual kids have, and even my 7 yr old has learned to look for "her" box to see if there is anything written in for that day. And going across horizontally, it gives you a snap shot of your family's day, from your own appts., to where your husband may be that night, to the kids' sports or play dates, to even the dog's vet appts. or daycare days. The calendar also comes with stickers, which I don't usually bother with, as the events they mark, like playdate, library, practice, are a bit too mundane to need sticker highlights, in my opinion, but if your kids are into stickers, they could have fun applying them for doctor appts., haircuts, etc.
