Womans Day Planner + Giveaway

Updated: This giveaway is now closed. The winner is #229 Melisa!

I love finding new products that solve a frustration in my life. Gosh I get down right giddy when this happens. So imagine my delight when not only did I discover a planner that filled a void for me but the creator, Corrie of Chaos…Simplified, is Canadian and living in the same province I’ll be moving to. I love to support other women but rarely do I get to promote another Canadian woman. So great!

I’m not even sure now how I first heard about this company but boy am I sure glad I did because I was thrilled to try out the awesome Womans Day Planner. A planner that offers a unique format that has made my life so much easier. Why? Because I like to see a full month calendar at all times as well as have space on a week by week calendar for more detailed planning WITHOUT having to flip back and forth. Flipping back and forth has always annoyed me. A lot. I’ve always wondered why I couldn’t see both at the same time. Well you can with the Womans Day Planner and what makes it unique is the way the pages are split so you can flip through the weeks while still having the month view remain constant. It’s hard to explain but in this picture you can see how the pages are divided.

Seriously it’s brilliant! So much easier to get an accurate picture of what you have going on not only for the week but the entire month as well at the same time.

Let’s face it as moms our schedules can get pretty chaotic and without a little planning and organization we can easily get overwhelmed and scattered. We need somewhere to “brain dump” in order to get all that clutter out of our heads and onto paper making it easier to sleep at night. This uniquely designed planner will help you do just that! There’s even space on the weekly view to plan your dinner menu

You have the benefits that a week-at-a-view planner offers (the space to plan) while at the same time it keeps the entire month in view so you can ensure that all your week plans coincide with what’s ahead. No more flipping back and forth, the month is either straight across the top of the page and the each week for the month is across the bottom or vice versa so the planner isn’t bottom or top heavy.

You have the room to plan your week . . . all the while keeping your full month in view so nothing slips past you!

At the beginning of every month there is also space for planning your monthly finances and goals along with room for additional notes. It’s wire bound so it lays flat when opened. The planner is 8×10 in size, runs from January 2010 to January 2011 and sells online for $28.95 Cdn (use code Spring2010 to get 15% off ~ enter into the box near the bottom on the right hand side of page -not in the voucher section)

The only suggestion I gave Corrie for improvement was to bold the days of the week to provide visual interest and help separate the two views. I love that she was totally receptive to that for future publishings.

Also watch for the NEW Girls Day Planner set to be released in July 2010. Perfect for girls ages 11-16.

Today Corrie is offering to giveaway, to one lucky random commenter, one copy of the 2010 Womans Day Planner. To enter simply leave a comment on this post, prior to April 5th at 12:00 pm PST answering the following question.

With three kids in three different schools the hardest thing to keep track of is what kid is doing what each day. I one in band, 2 are in show Choir, and one is in school plays besdies and rehearsals are always different days at different time and we won’t even discuss the concert times and days that either fall on the same day as someone else or at least the very same week.

Karen (singingclaypearl)

I definitely need this! My husband and I are both students with two under-5 little ones. We go to school full-time (both of us), are going for education degrees, and I’m in charge of organizing our lives seamlessly. Keeping track of class schedules, assignments (both mine and his since my husband doesn’t have a head for prioritizing his time), doctor’s appointments, church events, concerts I have to perform in, extended family events, and the kids’ daycare “family-fun” days is a LOT of work! This planner would make things SO much easier for this stressed-out student mama!

My never-ending To-Do list!!! It seems as though everytime I remember something to add to my list, it pushes something else out *lol*

Wow! I have not seen any planner like this. It encompasses almost aspects of life! We run crazy 24/7! We have 4 kids @ 3 different schools, with carpool schedules, they all play sports, and have a wide variety of interests. I also have started watching my friends kids during the day! This planner would help me streamline daily life! LIfe is good when mama is organized and ready to take on the world!!

You know what they say about a retired or semi-retired person. There is never enough time in the day to accomplish everything. That is, if you can remember what they are!
Yeah, a calendar like this would be awesome.

Absolutely the sports schedule – there is always something added in at the last minute, and then it changes everything else that was planned around the current schedule!

Michelle "Chaos Caretaker"

For years I kept a written calendar, alas with a techie husband, I have surrendered to the way of the synchronized online calendar (is it safe to say, I still print a copy out to carry with me?) I have always wanted a system of seeing my day and month at the same time. What an ingenious system. Maybe we just won’t mention to hubby that I reverted. What say you?

This truly IS a great find! The whole month plus the current week all on the same “view”. Awesome!
I could really benefit from this, as well as my schedule, the kids, etc., etc.,
Thank you!

i’ve been searching for a good planner for awhile. so i’d love to win this!

Oh this is perfect! I always find myself writing birthdays in the month view, only to forget them because I usually have the page open to the weekly view. Genius!

My “To Do List” keeps getting longer and longer and I have sticky notes almost everywhere I can think of. And then I lose track of where I put them, especially the ones that have to be done right away and I couldn’t remember what it was, so I forget what it was that I was supposed to be doing,and lose track of time, and such. I am also going to head back to school to get my Master’s Degree, and this planner would be very helpful! Also, I struggle keeping track of family, their birthdays and special occasions because we live states away from them. This planner would really help keep my life organized.

Barbie

With 5 kids, it’s hard to keep track of where everyone is and where they need to be. Next year I will have one in kindergarten, one in elementary, one in jr. high, one in high school and one in college. Help me!

Rhonda

I would love this! I always loose the dentist appointment cards. This could save us a ton of money!

Tammy Wright

Oh how fun it would be to win this Planner! I, too, have had a time finding a planner that would meet the needs of my family’s scheduling! This looks like it’s the one!! Thank you for having the contest and for your great site!!!

Between kid’s school activities, sports, church responsibilities, doctor’s appointments – I am so scared I am forgetting something! This would be great!

suzanne

I do a lot of volunteering! And i do forget meetings/things i should be picking up etc.. A lot

Keeping the kids all straight. I have three little ones and between school and activities, remembering who is going where and what everyone needs on any given day is a challenge. This day planner looks wonderful!

I would love to have my lists for home/ homeschool/ appointments/ and general to-do’s all in one place. Thanks for all your good advice!

LOVE IT! Two kids, husband, elderly mother, part time job, church volunteer job, etc etc etc!!! Need it!!

We love the library & use the one at school, county, & also church. Sometimes it’s hard to keep try of all the books. The kids keep their school library books at school or in their backpacks. I have seperate shelves to keep track of the county & church books (and no books are allowed to stay in the kids rooms over night as we’ve found many behind the bed or deep inside the covers!

Melanie

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this planner! This is a great idea!

I have a hard-time keeping track of *everything*. Maybe an easier question would be “what do you keep track of effortlessly” — um… nothing?

I have a hard time keeping track of all our our dental/dr/haircut appointments, school functions, when my husband will be in/out of town (he is a pilot), my ‘To Do’ list, BIRTHDAYS! (I am the worst!), work deadlines (I work full time), church functions, etc. etc. etc….

Thanks for this post!

I too hate the flipping back and forth between the monthly and weekly schedules. This would be ideal for the sport schedule planning of up coming tournaments and dance recitals.

Dawnll

Oh I would love to win this planner. I search and try so many planners each year…sounds like this is the one I need.
Would make a great birthday gift to me…wink wink My birthday is Saturday!

Mari Larkin

This really is awesome. I really could use one. Love the idea.

Coordinating school, church, sports, music lessons, Dr.’s appointments, and LIFE would be a great relief! Thanks for offering this give-away! I’m curious if there is a spot to plan the weekly menu???

I’ve been on a hunt for the perfect planner for years! Perhaps this is finally the one. I love that it lays flat.

Bills! I have such a hard time keeping track of those few bills that are still paper! And with 2 kids and a husband that is in school and works 2 different jobs trying to remember where everyone is at any given time is enough to drive me insane! This planner looks awesome!

I’m an organizer junkie – always looking for that right one that will keep me on track! I’d love to try this one. (I agree with the previous poster about it laying flat – a must!)
Thanks for the chance!

What a great idea, I’d love to have something like this to keep track of 5 kids and all their activities, which is always a challenge.

I would love to have this planner! I have 3 kids in school, activities, a husband in school and work for myself. This would be awesome!

LOVE the planner! Seeing the month and the week at the same time is GREAT as that is my biggest beef about so many planners…and I’ve tried A LOT! May have to order myself one if I don’t win this one.

Love it! I could definitely use one of these.

Shanita

I just assembled a family binder but this planner would be perfect for me!

Knowing where everyone needs to be and when they need to be there. I was never a calendar person when I was younger b/c I seemed to remember things. Now I am completely lost without my calendar.

Tracie

With 5 boys, band, sports and college, this would be a PERFECT solution for me.

I never did buy a real calendar to hang up on the wall this year, so it’s been hard to keep track of everything! The hardest would probably be my husband’s schedule. He is back in school but his schedule changed every week and it’s hard to remember which nights he will be home for dinner and what weekends he will be in class.

Marjorie

I seriously need this. I’m pitiful at managing my time.

My husband’s rotating work schedule is so hard for me to keep track of. This would be the right size to take along with me and keep all my post it note lists in one place!

my husband’s schedule! he forgets to tell me things until the day of, making it hard to plan!

this thing looks awesome!

Kim @ Homesteader's Heart

Oh that looks so cute. I would have to say my hardest thing to keep track of is my cleaning schedule. It’s always getting messed up for one reason or another.

Kate

How brilliant! We have 5 children under 3 years (no- no multiples- just a mix of biological and adopted) and I hate getting planners that have the month and weeks separated- I end up not even using the week pages because I can’t stand to not be able to see the whole month! This is ingenious! Why didn’t I think of it!?!

Doctor’s & Dentist appts since most of them are made so far in advance.

I have always been annoyed at having to flip back and forth pages in planners. Finally one where you can see it all at once! I would absolutely be thrilled to here I won this planner.

Need A Nap2

I like the 8×10 size, not too big but big enough to handle my family of 6!

Pam

Ooooh…

I want one! I just started an in-home daycare, and with my own three kids ages 4 and under in the mix, I’m always forgetting something! What a cool solution.

Awesome planner!

Dawn

Last year I switched to using the calendar in my phone. It worked great until I got a huge gouge in my touch screen. Being a divorced mom with no help, 2 kids involved in softball, soccer, & school activities, not to mention the 2 organizations that I volunteer for, and work this planner would be a real asset.

I find the hardest thing to keep track of is the schedule itself. I just have not found a good system to keep it all straight. I have a desk calendar in our classroom, a web-based calendar and a calendar on my phone. Information overload! I would love to be able to organize everything in one place. And if it’s a cute little notebook (which that one is), all the better!

I have a hard time keeping track of my son’s doctor appointments. He has special needs and has to see different doctors. Many times I am scheduling into the next year.

I have 2 little ones plus am a part-time wedding photographer. i’ve been searching for a calendar that would allow me the space to to keep my REAL life organized, on top of my photography.

Amy @ Finer Things

Ballgames, community activities, picture day! I’ve tried so many planners and haven’t stuck with any of them. Maybe this is the one for me!

This look like a perfect day planner. I have two different planners. A weekly one and a monthly one. The hardest thing to keep track of is my children’s activities, i.e. dr.’s appointments, tutors, sports, TAKS tests, school events, when they are supposed to be with their other parent (my children with their dad and my step-daughter with her mother).

I am OCD about using calendars, I have my life written on my calendar for the next 12 months. I need to look way ahead and see what is going on 3, 4, 5 months from now.

i have a hard time keeping track of my husband’s work schedule. He is a nurse so his schedule and my kid’s daycare schedule changes ever week.

Ashley

This is an awesome planner.

I guess I will comment here too! I would LOVE one of these. I am feeling like my life is a little out of control right now with 2 kids under 4 years old and both my husband and I work outside the home full-time (and spend about 2 hours a day commuting on top of that) and we are really involved with our church and softball and everything else so this would be a GREAT tool for me to have!! PLEASE pick me! LOL! Thanks and have a great Easter!!!

Every day life can be kaotic at times but when you have 2 kids ages five and two, volunteer at church, going to school full time. Also ad Financial Peace University by Dave Ramsey, girls scouts, dance/tap class…Sometimes dr appointments slip up on me. My life is fun and wouldn’t change it except to be organized…

This looks great – I always have scheduling difficulties because I babysit part-time for 4 different families. Keeping their schedules, plus our kid outting schedules, and church activities – its getting a little hairy. I usually use a desktop monthly calendar magnetized to my fridge but it sure would be nice to be portable.

Ashly

I live by my planner so I don’t know that there is much that is difficult for me to track. The hardest thing for me is condensing all my tracking…I have a work planner, a budget planner, a menu planner, a personal planner and what I really need is a cohesive place to keep it all.

That looks fantastic! I like planners with month and week views – but its so hard to find week views that don’t give super-small spaces for the weekend. Who has so little going on then?!

Sounds perfect!!!!

Katie Anderson

Finances! I always have to write down when my bills are due or I forget to pay them!

Tami

I’d love to try this. I haven’t been able to find anything that really works for me yet. Right now it’s not too bad but soon I’ll have 3 kids in one school and the oldest in middle school. Not to mention we’ve got 2 businesses to run. I’ve got to figure this out before we get behind!

Melinda

At this age, coming up on that wonderful “change” – it’s hard to remember EVERYTHING!! I love this planner and going right now to see if they ship to the US!

I find it hardest to keep track of all of our sports and activities. I play soccer two nights a week and both my daughters also play. Add in some piano lessons and Girl Guides and Brownies and we are fully scheduled. This planner looks amazing – it would be perfect for me. Also looking forward to seeing the one for girls aged 11-16 as my daughter is turning 12 and going into middle school this fall!

Joy @ Frugal Menu Mamas

The hardest thing to keep up with is my husband’s schedule! Not sure if this would fix that, but I’d love to try.

My kids, my husband, and my own schedule. And, we are renovating a house. Too many people and things going too many different directions!

Vonnie

You always find the most awesome things!
What is the hardest thing to keep track of in my schedule? Well, EVERYTHING! I have three small children who are 8 months old, 2 years old, and 4 years old. I home school my kids (my oldest starts 1st grade this fall, my middle child in preK) and both my husband and I go to school. My assignments, his assignments, the kids’ lessons, play dates, doctor appointments, home-school cooperative, what needs to be done in the house, who is making dinner that night… Life is pretty hectic and I never have enough paper to organize it all. LOL

Rebecca

Oh I <3 this planner! Flipping back and forth IS annoying. The hardest thing for me to schedule is time for myself. I just made an appointment to get my hair done tomorrow and realized it's been one year since I've done so. The other thing that is difficult for me to keep track of is my husband's work schedule & appointments that are ever changing.

I just got a part-time job to help with our finances, and I keep missing things…like not asking off for this Saturday, so now I’m working while hubs takes the littles to the church egg hunt.

Has anyone tried to order one? I tried and the code Spring2010 would not take.

I’m a new Mom and have been having a lot of trouble getting into a schedule/routine to get my life back on track. A daily planner is exactly what I need!

I really dislike that flipping back and forth also. Probably the hardest thing to keep track of is paying those bills on time.

Christine

My biggest schedule struggle is the kids. I have 4 kids, 3 in 3 different schools! Their vacations, days off and minimum days are ALL DIFFERENT and it drives me crazy! Even when I DO remember it all I stress out that I’ve forgotten SOMETHING. LOL I don’t have a planner that really works for me and I think this one just might! Thanks so much for the giveaway!

I always fall for new calendars and such, but this one looks unique. I’m sure any mom could use this; I know I sure could!

Sela

I think the hardest part to keep track of right now is play dates and other things I agree to do with or for my friends. I have two kids under 4, and we’re mostly at home, which is why I think I have a hard time remembering those other things
Thanks for the giveaway!

I am a single mom of two boys, I work full time and attend school 3/4 time. It is really hard to remember all the events going on at any given time. This planner seems perfect since it not only gives you room to plan events but also the finances. What a great giveaway.

Connie

The hardest thing for me to keep track of is the step I need to take for a project or event. I may have the event marked on my calendar, but when I get to that day I realize I haven’t done anything to prepare for it. Need a way of keeping track of what needs to be done and when for those types of thing.

Nicholle

With 4 kids and an absent-minded hubby I gotta say this kinda thing would be perfect for me! Keep tracking of appointments for everything from doctors to IEP meetings is by far the hardest thing for me keep track of!

Harmony

The Dr., dentist, eye doctor, etc. Those appointments can be hard to keep track of! Especially dentist and eye appointments since they can be book a year in advance!

That is one cool planner!

The thing I am trying so hard to keep a good schedule for is the family meal plan. I’ve been terrible at the whole process recently and it’s something that gets so expensive if I get lazy or confused, because I buy unnecessary things at the store, or end up wasting food, or ordering out because I’m too lazy!
Most dayplanners I have seen don’t have enough room to keep track of the day’s events, plus the weekly menu.

Keeping work stuff separated from home stuff. Thank you!

I would have to say that it’s coordinating all of our schedules… my work w/ honey’s work, and kids too….

My in-laws doctor appointments.

Johnlyn

I’m still trying to find a planner that works. Right now everything is hard to keep track of because I have stickie notes all over the place!

My biggest challenge is keeping track of the pesky appointments that change all the time – like a coach who changes practice times Every Single Week! Man, I would love to win this – I can see so much potential!

Monica

I’d say the hardest thing in my schedule to keep track of is ME time! I’m a new mom, well relatively new, my daughter is almost 7 months old. I haven’t quite develped a good balance to my schedule yet to plan in some Mom time between my husband’s activities. He works full time and goes to school full time.

I’m a “wannabe” organized person

I have 4 children and a husband who works a fire schedule. Trying to keep everyone where they need to be on the right day at the right time. I haven’t found a planner yet that I am entirely satisfied with. This looks great!

I’d say the hardest thing to keep track of on a schedule is my list of to-dos – and putting them to days and if they didn’t get done…making sure they are not forgotten going forward.

I find it hard to keep track of everyone’s schedules because I have 5 kids between 4K and High school and in three different schools. They all have different schedules for activities plus keeping track of what my husband and I have going on also.

Melanie

Keeping up with my husband’s schedule can be somewhat challenging. As a pastor, in addition to his normal work hours he has other activities, meetings and events that he must attend. At times it can be pretty challenging knowing what’s on the schedule; especially being a family of six.

The hardest thing to keep track of is usage of household inventory!

Michele

I have been looking for a good planner, so this is super exciting!!! Thanks for the opportunity!!

LaDonna

The hardest thing for me to keep track of in my schedule is my dh’s work. It’s a great looking planner. I’d love to win it.

What a dream to have a planner like this! I’d love to win this….please.

Emily

I don’t often throw my name into the hat for things, but this is really something I could use. My days are crazy and being organized is so important!

Our long-term “to do” list in the hardest to keep organized for me!

I have been looking for a really good planner. Homeschooling 3 children, plus all of our “extras”. I think this just might be it and I’d love to win it. Thanks for the oppertunity! (Hope I spelled that right. ;})

tasks that need to be done, when.

Anne @ Confessions and Scrap

Neat! I would love to try out different planners!

101

Flo

I am always on the lookout for a good planner. I thought I found it, but I was so very wrong. This looks like it could be the answer for me! I am a homeschooling mom of 3 young ones… wheew. Anything to help me stay organized would be AWESOME.

102

Elizabeth

I would love to get better organized!

Thanks for the giveaway!
Elizabeth

103

My hardest problem is sports. With 3 boys sometimes playing 3 different sports at opposite ends of town, they sometimes overlap so I tried to color code everything but very quickly got overwhelmed with the multitude of colors on one small block. LOL

104

The hardest thing for me to keep track of is my goals. So I like the part about writing the different goals down.

105

Jennifer Kennedy

My days off are my hardest things to keep track of. The fluctuate and I have shown up to work when I wasn’t supposed to! I dislike flipping between month and week also!!!!

106

LOve the structure!!!!!!!!!!!!11

107

Erin

The hardest thing for me to keep track of it all the doctor appointments I have to schedule 3 and 6 months out. It means my current planner is huge and overflowing to keep it all straight.

108

Between my six classes, work, tutoring, and meetings galore it would be nice to have a planner that doesn’t make life MORE complicated. And one can never have too many planners.

109

Love this planner. Why did I not think of it????

110

Bette Vangen

Great organization…….. My difficulty comes when I enter a 6 PM event on, let’s say Tuesday, and then a few days later there’s a 2 PM event on that same Tuesday and then a few days later I need to enter a 10AM event, also on that Tuesday……. I usually write the 1st entry so big and in the wrong position, so by the time all the entries are noted, I have squished so many details into a square, but not necessarily sequencially……… that’s the way it goes for me!!

111

Rona

Very cool.

112

Leah W

Church, husband, work, music schedule, Sunday School socials, weekend adventures…you get the idea! I am always going going going that I look at each day and hope I didn’t miss something! I’ve tried so many things, but I can’t seem to get them all in the same place (online, calendar in purse, etc) so it makes it very easy to let one event slip my mind and not realize until someone asks me where I was!

113

Claudia

the hardest thing for me is to keep my weekly to do in a central place so that it’s always visible to me.

114

My To Do List for sure. It seems like it gets larger as the week goes by. I never seem to get caught up. Thanks for the giveaway!

115

I work full time and run the house. I’m married but my husband is a great help but I seem to be in charge of the family money and the family schedule. Everyone always asks me “hey mom, do we have plans this Saturday”. I’m ok with remembering most but this could sure help with getting it out of my head where everyone could see it.

116

This planner looks awesome! I have a 2 year old and work part-time from home and am trying to finish my PhD – so I have lots to keep track of!

117

Holly T.

I have a hard time keeping track of my husband’s work/travel schedule. He is an attorney that travels quite a bit lately and I always forget when he’ll be out of town. I need something to keep track of him (and me, too.) Thanks.

118

Emily

I have a hard time keeping tracking of my husband’s work schedule and my son’s social life. My husband is a teacher so he often works extra hours for no pay – but he doesn’t always remember to tell me which days those will be, LOL!

119

Keeping track of playdates and meal planning are my biggest issues with planners.

120

Sarah

We homeschool, the hardest thing is trying to fit in the school schedule with the rest of our life, plus the extra things we do and last but not least DINNER! I always love organizers that have a place for the menu plan!

121

brandi

With kids, dr appts, playgroup, MOPS, school, and my husband’s crazy schedule if I didn’t have a planner I would be lost! I love this one!

122

I cant keep track of anything these days. Between doctors appointments, playdates, picking up DH from the airport, and forgetting my grocery list I need this so bad.

123

when I need to vacuum…usually goes until I can’t stand it!

124

Kalynn

It’s so hard to keep track of all activities while wearing all the different hats. Keeping up with church commitments, home educating, Girl Scouts, running a household, and working from home is just plain crazy! Help me…

125

This looks like a great planner. Sure beats the spiral notebook and calendar I use!

126

Gloria

This would be wonderful to use to keep track of all my quilting projects. Might even get some quilts finished! Making sure to stop by all the “Blocks of the Month” Web sites that share them for free. If I miss one, sometimes you can buy them, sometimes they are gone forever!!! Those I don’t do, but maybe with the planner, I would!

Thanks.

127

I am a full time student along with being a wife and mother of two boys. I have yet to find a planner that works for me. My hardest thing to keep track of is study time for myself and scheduling time to exercise. I think as mother’s we are constantly taking care of everyone else and forget how important it is to schedule time for ourselves.

128

Thanks so much for a great review as a mom, wife, full time nurse and 3/4 time university student a well organized family friendly day planner is always a necessity and until this one I have yet to find one!!!!

129

Trying to keep track of my school schedule since I am a college student and all of my church schedule since I help in the children’s ministry. I also need a schedule to help with my life appointments.

130

Meegan

I love this planner – brilliant! I am a mom of three ages 5, 4 & 3, a foster mom to many coming in and out of our home, a volunteer for Relay for Life, Foster Parent Association, MOMS Club and church, and now the kids are entering the world of sports and dance practice. Yikes! I really need this. The hardest thing for me to keep track of in my schedule? Quality time for myself and date nights with my husband. We can get so wrapped up in work, volunteer and kids schedules that the renewal time gets forgotten. This planner will help me actually get it on the calendar!

131

Work, life, worklife, dogs, family, house, food, trash, chores, work, workout…I could go on. I need a good planner!

132

I do some freelance work and that is definitely the hardest thing to keep track of.

133

Bobbi

The hardest thing for me to keep track of in my schedule are my appointments. I write then all down on my multi-purpose calendar on the fridge but when I’m not at home, I’m lost. My brain just can’t remember all those dates anymore. Makes it hard to schedule playdates on the fly, demos for my home business and spontaneous get togethers with my other mom friends. My current planner has a two page spread for each day and I just find it too much of a chore to update and use 90% of the time. At 8×10 this one will fit in both the diaper bag and my home business tote bag. Great giveaway!
Happy Easter weekend!

134

Stacy

Doctor appts and kids activities.

135

Maryann @ Raise Healthy Eaters

I have to say everything. I’m naturally disorganized. I’ll buy a calendar but then barely use it. But I have to say social dates (birthday parties etc.) are the hardest for me to remember.

136

I am a planner kinda gal! I tried to go digital and failed so badly….got to have this planner! Thanks for the give-away, keeping my fingers crossed.

137

This planner really looks very helpful – I have searched for years for the perfect calender/planner andfinally I thought I have found it – but this one is even better! I love the idea of having the week AND the month at the same time!
Thanks for the givea-way!
The hardest thing to keep track of are birthdays and the like – I switched to putting them into my mobile-phone so that it reminds me the day of the birthday. That has been working fairly well for me!

138

This would be perfect for my friend, whose son is fighting cancer. They have so many appointments to keep track of. And she definitely needs a place to “brain dump”. What an awesome product. Thanks for the giveaway.

139

I’m a mom with 10 kids. My husband is a coach for boxing and MMA. Between running my kids to their sports and running with my husband to his sporting events, we have music lessons Dr visits eye dr speech lessons church and of course the dreaded bills and don’t forget the dogs vet visits! On top of it all trying to homeschool and keeping track of school is hard! I think half of the world has me on speed dial to remind my of my appointments.(that got wrote done SOMEWHERE to never be seen again!) This planner will help out a ton! To be able to see everything at once all in one binder I might actually be organized to show up on time to the event! (instead of late as always)

140

The hardest thing in our house to keep planned is dinner time. My husband leaves work at such random times. I never know for sure what time to start dinner, so that we can eat soon after he arrives home.

141

The hardest thing for me to keep track of is my “To-Do” list of tasks for each of my projects. I have so many projects that I need to focus each day on the top priorities for each project in order to complete each on time

142

Keeping track of all the kids school activities, due dates, and my husband’s travel schedule all at the same time!

143

Right have a printout calendar, way to small. I need a better system!

144

Sounds interesting! Please ad me to the giveaway. Thanks!

Terra Jones

dr’s appts b/w 2 kiddos, chiro appts, midwife appts, etc… whew!

146

debby nutter

Kids, grandkids, daycare……need I say more!?!? Thanks

147

What an interesting idea! I have trying to find a calendar to fit my life & think this one is it!! With homeschooling 3 kids, going to school FT, hubby is going to school FT also, along with working a crazy schedule, dr. appt’s., ect this would really work for us.

148

Brandi Keefe

That planner looks great! As a busy homeschool mom of 4 I could really use one of those

149

Laura Aridgides

The hardest thing to keep track of in my schedule is my appointments. I have some appointments that take several hours and some that are just 30 minutes. I LOVE the fact that this planner allows you to see the month at the same time! That would probably go a long way in fixing the appointment problem!
To your success,
Dr. Laura

The hardest thing for me to keep track of is my hours for school. I forget to write them down and this calender would be a great benefit b/c it will coincide with our daily life plus school.

151

The hardest thing for me to keep track of used to be where I was working since I am a substitute teacher. Now it is probably my weekend schedule. It seems to change pretty frequently.

152

It is difficult to keep everyone’s schedule in mind – 7 people in our family. Remembering the specific things I need to get done in the midst of homeschooling, etc. adds to the need for a good planner!

153

I can never remember what I have to get done! I have an awful memory and I have to write EVERYTHING down!! I would love to have this product!!

154

What a wonderful idea. A great way to keep track of weekly appointments but easy to look back.

155

Randa @ The Bewitchin' Kitchen

The hardest thing to keep track of is the phone calls I have to make. I never write them down so I forget.

156

I’ve got two kids. One is in dance and soccer, the other school activites, 4-h, and baseball. My husband heads up our Local Ducks Unlimited Chapter and between their schedules and mine it gets CRAZY. If they were set schedules it’d be different but they aren’t so I’m constantly forgetting something.

157

Tami

The hardest thing to keep track of are the kiddos’ sports!

158

I have a hard time organizing my time with three jobs, my husband’s four jobs, my three kids and all their activities. From two different soccer schedules, a soft ball schedule, dance class, piano lessons, kids choir, yikes!!! Any help would be great!

159

well, i dont have a bunch of over-scheduled kids but, i am very busy nonetheless. i would love a calendar like this to keep myself organized with daily activities, menu plans and tasks for my home-based business and appointments. i too, hate the constant flipping back and forth to the monthly view to make sure i havent forgotten something and then make a mess of my plans. i hope to win one but, i may head over and buy one just in case.

160

Whew! Maybe that would help me with homeschool planning!

161

Kim

The most difficult thing to keep track of is having all my “lists” in the same place. Lists of phone calls to make, errands to run, kids activities, groceries, movies to watch, books to read, etc.

162

Truly ingenious! Must have been designed by a woman!!

163

Having all my lists together in one place.
When I first glanced at it, I thought the decoration on the cover was a watch/clock and I thought how ingenious! Anyway, I love the planner!

164

Lindsey

This planner is just what I need! This time of year is crazy for us. We are really working on out budget and I love how this planner incorporates your monthly needs. I can keep it all in one place!

165

Lori

The hardest thing for me to keep track of is my daughter’s soccer practices. Her coach is constantly changing the days and times!

166

Kelly

I actually have two hardest things for me. One is to actually do my to do list and the other is to keep a calendar for everything in it while actually being pretty too. This one looks perfect for me to have everything in one spot for the family to use while being beautiful sitting out on my kitchen counter everyday!!!

167

The hardest thing for me to keep track of is my kid’s school events/functions! Ugh..it’s NEVER ENDING it seems. We’ve missed deadlines on ordering things because we forgot about it, and never wrote it down!

april_vereb@yahoo.com

168

Orthodontist appts. They don’t give reminder calls and I often forget to take the kids.

169

How great this would be. As a mother of 9(only 6 still at home), I always have a million things to remember and end up having to-do list written on the backs of envelopes all over the house. i really need to have it all in one place. This sounds fantastic!

170

Chelsa

i LOVE planners! not sure if i could live w/out mine. i think this one looks AMAZING!

171

I have a hard time keeping track of everything. I have 3 calenders on the ago! I misplace one and start another. I am slowly working on organization! Anything that can help me, I am interested in!!

172

What a great tool to help stay organized. Love it

173

This would be great!! I was thinking that menu planning would be easy on this too… you could see at a glance what was planned out for the month & when it would be best to have a certain dish, or something quick & easy! Count me in!!!

174

I’m a mostly-at-home mom who’s about to start a new business. This would be fantastic! Please add me to the list of hopeful entries! Thanks.

175

Crystal & Co

The hardest thing to keep up with is my 5 children, their schedules, appts, and my husbands schedule for his business! My life is a mess…. pick me!

crystalandcomp@yahoo.com

176

The hardest thing for me to track is the occasional things – changing the oil, hair cuts, registering for sports and camps, rotating the tires. Having room to write such things for the month as well as the menu would be priceless.

177

my mind!! recently i was having a conversation on the playground with a new friend and i said, “yes, and i just love…(unusually long pause)”. i absolutely could not remember what i was going to say. the sad thing was that i happened to be really excited about sharing this information and drew a blank. i’m not even pregnant and only have 2 little ones, so i’ll blame it on too many ideas, reminders, etc floating around in my mind!

178

Sharon

What a great idea! This would be put to very good use with all that’s going on in this house!

179

This looks great! I love a month to month planner but now that I am starting to work i need more details on the day to day stuff so hubby knows whats going on with the kids. This sounds perfect.

180

the hardest thing to keep track of…. the hardest thing to keep track of? hmmm… I would have to say everything as a whole ball of wax! I can do bit s of everything, but I never seem to have everything tied up…. I get bits and pieces of everything done, but not all of anything….
But I would sure like the ease of menu planning taken care of!!!

181

The hardest thing to keep track of…Driving. All the activities are down, it is just which adult is doing the drop off and pick up and is it a carpool night. I would love a new planner. I made a calendar on my computer because I want to see month and week at the same time, I print it off and hang it up in the kitchen but I really would prefer ONE calendar that I can carry along with me in my purse.

182

This looks like a HUGE life-saver. I’m so busy I can hardly keep track of what day it is, let alone the things that I need to DO on that given day. Outlook is great, but I don’t have a smartphone so paper is better for me. Plus, there is something SO satisfying about crossing things on “the list”!

183

Hardest thing to track is my wife’s schedule

184

Sheridan

Hardest thing to keep track of: More like impossible. I am a birth doula, so I can’t plan when my moms will have their babies. Puts a bit of a crimp in my planning. But means I must be SUPER organized so that if I have to go to a birth, I must know my next 24 hours down cold, so I can give instructions to my DH. This calendar looks great!

185

My to do list seems to disappear–I need a way to keep track of it.

186

Roxanna

I could so use this… the hardest thing that I have track keeping of is taking my medicine… I can’t take it on schedule that is why I chose this… keeping up with appts comes in on a close second.

Roxanna

187

Wow that looks amazing. I love it!

188

Tiffanee

I have the hardest time keeping everyone schedules down. Including my own. IT is crazy to try to remember all the happenings in my family’s life..

189

I just found my way to your site through Mel at Two Peas in a Bucket – and I just love it. I am trying hard to become one of the organized people that I so look up to. Right now the hardest thing for me to keep track of is bills and due dates etc. I constantly seem to be in emergrncy mode becaue I do not now what is coming up. I would LOVE this planner. Thanks for doing the give away.

190

This is such a GREAT idea! I have post-it tabs on the month-at-a-glance pages on my current planner because I always need to flip back and forth. With this format, it would be easier to make doctor’s appointments, etc. that don’t conflict with the kids’ activities (or mine!). I am constantly calling back to reschedule because the conflict wasn’t written on both the weekly and monthly pages. The hardest thing for me to keep track of is sports practices and games.

191

I need a way to see a month at a time, but still have room for details. I need a book that is easy to carry with me. I need to keep track of due dates for bills and projects.

192

Wow, as a teacher, mom of 4 and extra things going on, a planner is just the answer. I need to be able to keep everyone’s schedules under control. What a great idea to be able to see month and week. Super calendar!

193

ruth

Doctors appointments and Board Meetings!

194

Lindsey

I have a hard time keeping track of the events in my life that are semi-regular, but irregular enough for me to forget about them (like things that happen only a couple of times per month)!

195

Brilliant idea! Between my shifting work schedule, hubby’s work (and travel) schedule, daughter’s college and work schedule, and son’s college and wrestling schedule, this would be perfect! Much better than having to keep two different calendars, comparing/updating them! Wonderful product.

196

I love planners so much, but have trouble finding one that meets all my needs. I work full time, my husband part time and keeping our schedules is very confusing. This planner looks wonderful!!!

197

That looks like just the planner that I need!!

198

Everything!

199

Lucy

Now that I’m a mom I find that I am so busy keeping track of my baby’s stuff–dr’s appts, playdates, etc.–that my stuff falls to the wayside. I need something to help me track both his stuff and mine!

200

Pretty much everything!! If I had to pick one certain thing, I guess I would have to say my to-do list. Between work, church, and personal….I get a little overwhelmed! This looks like a wonderful tool to help with that.

201

My kids’ schedules (school, church, band, plays, worship team, etc..) and our various appts – doctor, dentist, hair … you name it! This planner looks wonderful!!!

202

Rana

This is the perfect planner for a mom on the go. Plus being a homeschool mom it would help with all the things we have scheduled.

203

Amy

I have the hardest time keeping track of all of my commitments with kids that are getting older and more involved in sports, ballet, church, etc. I love being able to see my month at a glance, but I love being able to plan my week in detail on the weekly view. This planner sounds like the perfect solution for me!!

204

The hardest thing for me is to keep my meal planning in with my calendar. Love this idea!

205

Kate Hardin

Hmmm. The hardest thing for me to keep track of are sports. Since the games are irregular, I have trouble planning around them b/c they are so random.

206

Dianne Rice

Yes…I would love this…might actually maintain some sense of sanity:) …full-time mom and MiMi and full-time wife and daughter…full-time children’s ministry director…full-time crazy and loving every minute of it but this planner would definitely make scheduling easier. Genius product.

207

The hardest thing for me to keep track of is my boys special activities at school. They follow no special order and change frequently. I would love to win this and see if it would help.

208

Let’s see ; my to do list, bills, doctor’s appointments, goals, family activities…..

209

NerdMom

The hardest thing in my schedule to keep track of is my blogging!

210

My to do list.

211

Two sets of aging parents, children ages 4 and 7, and two full-time working parents. Need I say more…

212

Right now everything, just started following org. junkie blog, and a few others. Trying to basically start from the beginning at keeping things more streamlined, working for less hectic, simplified life. Having menus, finances, activities, all in one place seems like it would be a great place to start.

213

Bleubeard and Elizabeth

I really like this planner. I keep lists in my craft room or office of what I want to make and show on my blog. The sticky notes keep getting lost and every time I move one, it loses some of its sticking power. This would be an absolutely perfect solution. Awesome giveaway.

214

Lisa

The hardest things for me to keep track of are the after school activities and appointments/parties. I am always looking for a more streamlined way to keep organized and my to do list updated!!

Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
Blessings~

215

For most of the year it is difficult to keep track of my son’s hockey schedule. I have a feeling though that this summer will also be difficult because my son is registered in 2 different daycamps, we are off for a couple of weeks with him and my parents are taking him for a week. I’m afraid that we’ll forget what week it is and take him to the wrong place. I will have to make sure I have a written schedule to follow.

Thanks for the great giveaway!

216

The hardest thing for me to keep track of is daily duties. I have a 5 year old daughter I am homeschooling as well as taking online college courses for myself. Between the schooling and daily duties, I tend to forget the smaller things.

217

I to have searched many a calender, so far I have to many online, main one, purse, daily, and all are behind. I too do not like turning pages, and yes half of it gets missed. but hardest thing for me is ME, I am so far off(what to do,where to go,what to cook) everyday I wonder how I get anything done, this would be wonderfull!!! Shannon K

218

With 3 children and my husband who forgets to tell me things, I must say his schedule is what I forget. I can have something planned and have to change it because he didn’t tell me something.

219

Kari

The hardest thing to keep track of for me is my husband’s schedule. He often works overtime (but only on certain days) and has meetings for different groups…and it can all get very confusing. I still haven’t found anything yet to help me keep track of him

220

Forgetfulone

Great giveaway! The hardest thing to keep track of is meetings at work. This would help!

221

Jenn @ Beautiful Calling

To-do lists (long and short term) and upcoming appointments.

Looks awesome and I am always on teh look out for things to help simplify life!

222

I would love something like that.

223

I love the idea of seeing the full month and the week at the same time. What a novel idea! I’ll definitely keep this in mind at the end of the year.

224

Tricia H

You have no idea how unorganized my life is! I have 5 kids and DH & I both go to school full time. Our life is constant chaos!

225

The thing I find hardest to keep track of is time for me, to nurture myself, or have time to think and plan…. it keeps getting lost in the myriad of daily busyness and caring for the family…. I’d like to find and keep and plan for some time for me as I find I am a much better mother, wife, sister, daughter and friend when I don’t ‘lose’ this.

Sharyn

226

Ann Snider

LOVE that planner! Life has been getting so busy and I’ve actually missed a couple of appointments in the last few months because of not having them written down somewhere! What a great idea to have both views at one time since there are times we need to look way ahead and other times we need to look at just today and to not have to flip between the two is fantastic. Thanks for the tip!

227

Janet Barclay

My biggest challenge is planning time for myself and making sure I actually do it.

I love the looks of this planner!

228

Tina

Wow, this would be great! I am a mother of 3 and business owner. I am always looking for great products to help me be organized!

229

I’d love to have one of these. The hardest things to keep up with in my schedule are the things that don’t have a specific date but need to be done “sometime this week” or “sometime this month”. I tend to lose track of things that aren’t associated with a specific date.

230

Cathy Tibbles

This would be so awesome! I have yet to find a planner that I actually like!

Thank you!
Cathy

231

I have 3 special needs children who see doctors regularly, a husband and my sister-in-law who sees doctors at least 6 times per week. I have a few appointments of my own to keep so I am always looking for a better way to organize these appointed.

232

Looks like a wonderful planner! And I love that you can see the whole month! This would help greatly with appointments ect.

233

Ingenious! So exciting. I think my biggest issue is the to-do list. Each week/month I have a decent sense of what all I need to get done, but if I don’t do it that week then it never actually moves onto the next! I recently started using sticky notes for that purpose, but if there’s only one task left to do I often don’t move the sticky note…

234

I would love to win this. Unbelievable concept! With 3 kids and a live in mother-in-law I could use some help keeping it all under control.

235

I think the hardest thing for me is remembering what I have. As a stay-at-home-mom with two under 4 at home I have a really hard time sticking to a schedule, so when there is something that I need to do, or somewhere that I need to be I have a tendancy to forget. This would be a great way to combined my calendars to keep it all together, and hopefully get a bit more organized in my life. Thanks for this great give away.

236

Jenny

I really need this planner. May have to budget so that if I don’t win it, I can get one.

237

Brandi @ Frugal Farmhouse

These look great! I would love to be entered into this giveaway.. I (as so many others!) are on the never ending search for the perfect planner. this looks pretty perfect!

238

Erica

Bills, to-do list, and cleaning are the hardest for me to schedule. This looks like a wonderful planner!

239

I have been looking for a planner like this for so long. I figured I would have to make one myself. So very exciting to see that soemone else feels the need to also visualize their weeks and months in a similar manner. I’ve been searching everywhere. Thank you.

240

Keli

for me – everything! I am so unorganized it is crazy! I am trying so hard and this would be wonderful to help me. My two boys always have something going on and I usually go nuts trying to remember who needs to be where when. Thanks for the giveaway!

241

Rita

Doctor appointments and my husband’s coumadin schedule (which changes all of the time) is a real hassle to keep straight. I am becoming more forgetful for some reason so I’m finding I have to make a schedule of all I want to accomplish each day. I’m still trying to get that one perfected.

Sounds like a great giveaway!

242

I would love to win this planner! I was looking for a good one for this year & none seemed to be what I need. This one looks great!

243

Rachel

I would love to win this planner! I am such an organizing nut (learning to be a full “junkie” ). Thank yoU!

244

this planner looks like it may be a fresh way for me to get my family orgainzed.

245

All of our activities – I just cannot keep track of all of them! This planner would be great for that.

246

Hardest thing to manage in my schedule? Time for my workouts that are outside of my lunch hour. And the kids field trips, and special days at school.

247

I have 4 kids in various stages of their lives (19,11,6,3) and a husband. Plus I work PT, am the President of my mother’s group and a PTO Board member for my children’s elementary school. The amout of activities, appointments, committments and “TO DO” is simply overwhelming. This would be fantastic for this.

248

the hardest thing right now to manage in my schedule is definitely weekly deep cleaning jobs, i am so busy doing daily cleaning, cooking and homeschool that i never can figure out how to fit in those big jobs. a planner would help me write everything out and get organized!

249

with 4 kids, a full time job and a home based business (as well as roles for booster club, 4H, and scouts) I truly need something like this to keep my family’s life in check! Thanks for sharing these great finds!

250

Ooohhh, I’d love to have this. I hope I’m not too late to enter!

251

This looks like a great idea!!! Hope I win.

252

Looks very interesting.

253

This looks like the PERFECT planner!! Thanks!

254

Wendy

Oh, this planner looks marvelous! Let’s see, the hardest thing to keep track of…life in general! As a homeschooling, piano teaching, performing mom of 3 (plus an adoption happening this year) I’m lucky to keep track of making sure the kids get fed regularly.

Thanks for the chance and the wonderful review!

255

Carla Bennett

This sounds great, I have been searching for the perfect planner for about a year. Something that I can write EVERYTHING down in, incuding meals, diary, to-do’s, info, etc.

256

Hope

What’s the hardest thing? Everything! I have a 17 yr old & a 5 yr old plus my own & hubby’s schedule to keep track of along with bill due dates, etc! I am always looking for a better way to streamline keeping track of our schedules!

257

This planner looks like it’s PERFECT! I always have to write and rewrite my to-do list every week when I don’t get things on the list done. Then I wind up missing stuff. I LOVE the concept of this planner!!

258

I have trouble keeping track of Doctor’s appointments I make months in advance. I don’t have a planner, so when the Doctor’s office gives me the appointment card for the next appointment I have to remember to write it on our wall calendar or I forget about the Dentist appointment for myself or my kids monhts later. A planner would help with this because I could write it in when I am at the Doctor’s office.
