If My Life Can Be Organized, Anyone’s Can!

You asked for a great calendar, and we’ve got one for you.

Families With Purpose has a great selection of calendars and my own family is now using the Mom’s Plan It Calendar. It’s a 17-month calendar (August 2008 – December 2009) for a family’s busy world. Hanging below the calendar is a handy storage pocket for party invitations, appointment reminder cards, forms and tickets. There’s a built-in magnetic hanger so you can just slap it on the fridge and start using it, and a sturdy wall hanger too, if that’s your thing. It also comes with 442 stickers to help mark special events. At the top of the calendar there’s a plastic clip that used pages easily tuck in to and stay there. Unless you want to look back at old pages – they’re very easy to pull in and out.

It’s 11″ x 20.5″ when open and fits perfectly on my freezer door. Each writing rectangle is 1.25″ x .25″ and each of up to five family members have their own space for each day. Being a four human family (plus three fur babies, but they don’t have many appointments), I’m using the fifth spot for dinner planning.

There are eight different styles to choose from. No matter what your family composition, if you’ve got kids there’s likely a calendar at Families With Purpose that would be perfect for you.

Buy it here for just $14.99.

Win it! We’ve got a Mom’s Plan It Calendar to give away to one reader. To enter, visit the Families With Purpose store and then leave a comment on this post telling us what other product(s) available there are of interest to you. Alternatively, hit the home page and tell us about any section of the site that you like. Contest closes at 11:59 mst on August 13/08.

Additional entries available – up to four per person. See contest entry information and rules.

    besides how much the calendar rocks, their financial organization section has a ton of things that look interesting. The family budget planner and organizer looks awesome and the tax organizer is especially appealing as a self employed family.
