Amy Knapp 2018 Family Organizer: August 2017-december 2018

It's nice and maybe useful... provided you remember to fill it in religiously. Had I waited a bit longer, I would have probably not bought it (note to self: control impulse buying!). I mean, it's colourful and sticker coded and all, but I just tend to forget it at the bottom of a drawer. I would recommend you to just get a simple weekly planner with a magnet on the back (so that you can attach it to the fridge) instead, as it's a lot more convenient and in-your-face, not to mention a lot cheaper. Or, you know, just use your phone, there's surely an app out there for everything you could imagine.

This is a good planner for all the Mom needs. There are things I like and things I dislike.What I like:The cover is sturdy and has a pocket behind the front cover.It has a monthly view as well as weekly views.There is a spot for groceries on one side and menus on the other side.It has all the important kid related thing in there for reference.What I don't like:I'm partial to tabs to have ease of access to the months. It's not a big deal; it's a personal preference.It's heavy for what it is - I couldn't imagine sticking this in a purse as it would probably weigh it down.The groceries and menu plans are perforated. This is great in theory, but it's a bit silly as it would take off a third of the monthly view if you were to utilize those.All in all, it's a good Mom planner and it's very convenient in the way it's set up. There are minor things I would personally tweak, but it fits the bill! Can't beat the cost and I would purchase this again.

I've been using these planners for several years now and I can't say enough about them! It also seems like they are constantly improving them as Well! For example, they stopped putting a big sticker label on the front and have made it a half page that you can just remove. Awesome! My favorite things are the perforated grocery lists and menus. The stickers are so nice to stick on the calendar to bring attention to important dates. Plenty of room to write things in on both the calendar and in the day planner part. And it's the perfect size to stick in my bag. I like having my planner on paper instead of in my smartphone and the size of this means I can stick it in my purse and always have it with me. The only areas for improvement: 1- the spiral isn't great. By the time I get a few months from the end, the front and/or back cover are at least partially coming off and needing to be put back on the spiral. 2- that said, I wish the covers were a little more sturdy as well. Improved durability would earn this 5 stars from me...but I am pretty hard on my planners. 3- I'd love if it had small tabs on the months.Even still, I love the layout and the features of this planner! The price is great for just How useful it is!

I really like the layout of this planner, I've automatically bought it every year for the past 3 or 4 years. But this year, the spiral ring is smaller and the pages don't lay flat. I've only been using it for a few weeks and all the pages are already ripped due to the back and forth flipping of planning my family's schedules. I've tried loosening the ring but that only made the back pages come out. Very annoying.

I like this planner so far. Some things I like about it are the monthly look followed by the weekly look. It gives ample space to include multiple appts per day. I also like the option to include notes for the week and a meal plan. A few downsides for me are the size, since it doesn't fit in my purse. I also wish it had tabs to easily find each month. It's nice that you can tear of the side, but then you also lose parts of your calendar, so if you look back to the previous year like I do to fill in family and friend's birthdays and anniversaries, then you may be missing some of that.

I've purchased this organizer for years. The layout is pretty great, except I wish they'd just include a bunch of blank, lined pages at the end, so that I could use them for the things I need instead of babysitter info (I don't want my babysitter to be privy to all of my private info that's recorded inside) and "parent/children's organization" info (space for 18 of these. Really?). Every single year I cover up all that unnecessary junk with blank sticky sheets so I can record the things that are important to ME (medical, dental, optometrist, veterinary records, car oil changes, the type of water filter my fridge takes, the size filters my A/C requires, and so on. But my biggest pet peeve is that this year's organizer is printed ENTIRELY in pale pink. The print is very, very difficult to read and frankly, it hurts my eyes to look at it...I suppose because I'm squinting! I just don't understand why they keep changing things, obviously without test marketing those changes.
