If Mom's Mission is Organziation, Her Weapon is MomAgenda!
I am "Mom"...keeper of the family social calendar, maker of appointments, planner of parties, caretaker of the kiddo and the pets. The best tool I have found to help me get-it-together and keep-it-together is the MomAgenda. After two years away from a 9-5 working-woman's lifestyle and 2 missed pick-up apointments at Dinner My Way, I decided it was time to get a planner. I have carried a planner since 7th grade, where as the perfectionista teacher's pet, I jotted down every assignment and lunch hour club meeting to ensure I'd never miss a beat and safeguard my perfectionista future. However, leaving that 9-5 world to start my own business, I threw caution to the wind and have since been searching the word "calendar" on Google every time I needed to know the date. Now that I've got Emme and a growing business, this just won't do. I've been browsing for the perfect Mom Organizer and came across MomAgenda a few months back. I purchased a MomAgenda at Paper Source back in August for my best friend-turned-Mommy-Friend, Laura, and have been pining for one since. Well, now I've got it...
My MomAgenda is a beautiful, silky bubblegum pink that makes me feel so "Mommy-fied" I can hardly stand it! The day it arrived in the mail, I immediately filled in appointments, holiday parties, birthdays, social commitments and an upcoming trip to Palm Springs. Filling in my planner felt like coming home to an old friend. How did I get through the last two years without an agenda? I can see that MomAgenda will be keeping my family organized for years to come. It's one very classy desktop organizer and even has a grown-up satin ribbon to keep my place.
My Favorite Features of the MomAgenda Products:
1)The sassy cover colors are yummy grown-up versions of little girl favorites in pink, purple, blue, lime and chocolate...not to mention the elegant silky texture!
2) The Monthly views are all together at the front so you can see the whole year at a glance without flipping through. The Daily views have a special spot for each member of the family (customize to suit your own family configuration) so it doesn't get all jumbled up and there is even a spot for "dinner"--that nagging daily task that only a mom would realize was a big enough deal to put in a planner!
3) Lots of room for notes in the back and special pages for Birthdays, Gift Tracking, Party Planning, Vacation Planning and list of books, music, restaurants, wines...everything you might usually jot down somewhere and forget about;)
4) The address book in the back comes out so you can put it in next year's planner without writing it all out again!
5) There is also a Mini version of the desktop planner great for Mommies on the Go. I find that anything I take out of the house is at risk of getting lost, so the desktop planner works for me:)
6) The coordinating Kitchen Folio is great for keeping together forms and papers needed for school-age and daycare kiddos.
7) Adorable little notepads for "Things To Do" and "Babysitter Info" are actually useful. There are lots of flashy little Babysitter notepad-type of things out there, but this is one I'd actually use!
I'm not the only fan of MomAgenda...Check out the buzz in the press and a review from a fellow Mommy Blogger at So Called Me!

Staying organized with a family is a must. Things can get out of hand quickly, so this looks like a great package.
