Vertical format and VERY large--now I use Mom's Plan-it instead October 1, 2008

I love Boynton's books, and used to get this calendar. (We have 3 kids.) I really liked the idea of it, but the superlarge size and the vertical format just always felt a little awkward. Also, on some pages the cartoons cover up some of the day/date information.

About two years ago I switched to the Mom's Plan-it series. You can't tell from the Amazon photos, but that one has a standard horizontal calendar format (each row is a week), and is a smaller size, so it actually fits on our refrigerator, which the Boynton one never did.

Both have stickers and a pocket. I think both are good, and I do like the artwork on this one much better, but just find the Mom's Plan-it format easier to use.

If you're going to buy this one, make sure you look at the additional images so you understand how the vertical format looks. And if you've had one of these in the past and find the vertical format frustrating, take a look at the Mom's Plan-it to see if it would work better for you. It did for our family.

Practical and adorable September 3, 2008

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!

I've been using this calendar for years. I love the way each person has their own squares to fill in and keep track of! I couldn't imagine going back to a "traditional" calendar!

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.

I love this calendar. It keeps all of our individual appointments and activities so well laid out for us and all the Sandra Boynton characters are favorites for both young and old. Definitely a must have for families with kids.
