gift for kid

I am kind of (a lot) absent minded.  I have never been one to be particularly organized and it is something that really drives me crazy about myself.  Our family is busy and keeping everyone's schedule takes more organization than my usual reminders jotted down on napkins.  When A&W started school this year I vowed to become more organized and I started the year equipped with the Mom's Weekly Calendar from Peter Pauper Press.  In case you are unfamiliar, Peter Pauper Press features a selection of stationary, journals, books and gifts that make my heart go aflutter.  I am a gal who gets excited over this sort of thing!



When Peter Pauper Press sent me the Mom's Weekly Calendar I was thrilled.  First off the quality is outstanding.  The hardcover is sturdy and their is an elastic to keep the book closed when not in use.  I chose the red color which just looks so sharp.  When I opened it up I got even more excited.  This calendar/planner is the perfect blend for me...simplicity meets organization.  Love it!  It runs for 18 months and each month is separated by a tab allowing you to flip through quickly.  There is a two page spread for each week's "master plan" and has a column for each family member.  This has been so helpful to me over the past two weeks I have been using it.  My husband travels quite a bit for work and I am always at a loss about when he will be home and now I just write it in his column when he mentions it.   Each of the kids also have their own column which makes school days and play date planning a breeze.  Baby R does not have much in her column yet but it if she suddenly becomes a mini social butterfly I am ready for it. 

Beyond the spread for the master plan, are address pages, tear out "to-do" lists and monthly at a glance calendars.  Peppered throughout the book are funny and touching quotes about families.  The Mom's Weekly Calendar is helping me to stay on track and organized which is quite a feat!  Not only does the book look nice in my bag it is user friendly so it is easy to keep using.  This might be the year this Mom never forgets a dentist appointment or play date!
