A superstar, just like Mom herself. What is it about this bestselling calendar? Is it those irresistible cows, hippos, chicks, penguins, and piggies skipping and prancing through the pages? Or is it the innovative and ultra-practical wall-calendar-meets-planner format? Yes...and yes! It's the whole package: a calendar that looks great and is indispensable for families on the go. Mom’s starts in September and runs 16 full months. Spreads feature an oversized, vertical grid with five columns across (one for each family member) and the days of the month running down the left side. With just a glance, Mom and Dad can see who is doing what, and when. Includes a new drop-down storage pocket, plus 500 stickers and a write-on, wipe-off magnetic phone list for the fridge.

Summary: Keeping our family organized
Comment: This calendar is wonderful - 5 columns so each family member has their own column every day. Everyone in our family is so active that a regular calendar block was no longer big enough. It did take a few months to get used to looking across the column to see everyone's activities for that day (it's like a word processing Table), but this is the 4th year I've used this kind of calendar and I would never go back to a traditional one.

Summary: Practical and adorable
Comment: I love everything about this calendar. Your whole family can plan their days and see what everyone else is doing at a glance. The high-quality gloss paper makes the calendar a keepsake, worthy of tucking away at the end of the 16 months. A drop-down storage pocket can hold odds and ends such as "coupons, notes, stray $100 bills." The familiar Sandra Boynton critters appear throughout, looking impossibly cute. A nice bonus: A magnetic Family Phone List for the refrigerator door.

One of the nicest features is a couple of sheets of handy stickers -- 500 in all. You get stickers of some of the Boynton animals for fun, but you also get lots of labels to help you plan your days. These labels include 1/2-Day, Big Game, Birthday!, Camp, Celebrate!, Company, Concert, Dance Class, Dentist, Doctor, Game, Field Trip, Haircut, Library, Music Lesson, No School, Party, Playdate, Practice, Recital, Rehearsal, School Event, Show, Sleepover, Travel, Vacation, Vet, Visit, Welcome Home. There's even a sticker that reads Eek!

Starting in September 2008 and ending December 31, 2009, Mom's Family Calendar makes it easy to include the entire school year on one calendar.

This would make a great gift, either for your mom or yourself!

Summary: A Must Have for your Busy Mom. Perfect annual gift!
Comment: I stumbled upon this calendar many years ago, and after I went on and on about it, my kids began giving it to me each year for Christmas... Something happened last year and they dropped the ball :-( probably because each thought one of the others had it covered... Anyway - enter the 16-month version which I bought here! This one goes from September to December of `09! How cool is that!!!! that means that I have a buffer next year to make sure that SOMEONE gets me the next calendar (either September `09 or January `10!. ***OH! If you feel especially loving, also get her the accompanying Desktop Calendar, which works as a great planner. ***

Now, here is what is so great about this calendar - the numbers of each day during the month are written down the left margin of the page. Across the top are headings for MOM and then FOUR more blank boxes in which you can put the names of your other family members. Then in each row, you can list that family member's scheduled events. Get it? Voila! Mom's Family Calendar of Who Does What and Goes Where When!

Summary: Love it!
Comment: Just perfect to keep my toddler' activities on track. I had purchased one last year (2008), and now one for the next. The calender comes with stickers which are fun to use. The boxes in each calender month are fair sized so daily activities can be written comfortably. There are slots for different family members' activities/notes too. It has whimsical drawings & is colorful.
