Product Description

Now in its 12th super selling year, it's the overachieving calendar that makes Mom's life easier. Don't let the cuteness--Sandra Boynton's lovably goofy pigs, dogs, hippos, cows, chickens, and cats--fool you. Underneath the adorable illustrations is a smartly designed calendar with the organizing mettle of a planner. Running 17 months, from August 2009 through December 2010, MOM'S has an oversize, vertical grid with five columns across the top (one for each family member) and the days of the month running down the left side. There's plenty of space for everyone's activities, and Mom and Dad can see who's doing what with just a glance,. Includes a drop-down storage pocket, 500 stickers, and write-on, wipe-off magnetic phone list for the fridge.

Customer Reviews

We buy this every year - organized and fun!
We get one of these calendars every year! Why?

1) The format is great for keeping track of who is doing what, where, when, and with whom. This is CRUCIAL in our family of six. Unfortunately, the calendar only has five columns, but it's enough and we make it work.

2) We had a "Simpsons" calendar like this once, and it was fine, but the Boynton one is more fun. The backgrounds, colors, and themes change for every month, keeping it from getting boring.

3) We love the stickers! There are word stickers to highlight special events ("vacation", "school event", "big game", etc.), as well as funny Boynton animal stickers just for fun.

and 4) the POCKET. This one has a pocket that hangs at the bottom for extra stuff, papers and such ("$100 bills" it helpfully -- haha -- suggests!). This is truly a brilliant improvement.

It was at first a little difficult to get used to the format of not having each day down a column, and that can make it tedious to add events / activities that happen, say, every Tuesday. But, oh well. We love this calendar, and our family coordinates much more smoothly because of it.

No obvious improvements from the 2009 version, but that's fine. It's a 17-month calendar, August 2009 to December 2010, so we have the rest of this year to transition from our 2009 to the new 2010 calendar.

Five stars - and we'll buy it again for 2011!

One more column
This is the 4th year that I have had this calendar. I have 4 children and this is by far the best way to see what is going on in everybody's life. It's easy to see when days start to look busy or when you are trying to figure out if you can squeeze something in. I plan to use this calendar for years to come.....I only wish there was a 6th column so my husband and I wouldn't have to share a column. I wouldn't mind it being that extra inch wide!

Really is Mom's little helper
I have been purchasing this calendar for at least the past 6 years. I love the space for information for each family member. There is space for five members. I use different colored markers to note paydays, vacations, etc. I have extra space on the sides to note other people's information - birthdays, anniversaries that I might want to send cards out for. This calendar works when I need information on when we took a trip, or when a certain school function took place last year. I am also able to keep track of appts. over the years. It's better than my husband's Palm ever was, and it's accessible to all of us.
