Calendars for Moms and a Giveaway!
Moms are busy. Really busy. It's so nice to have a variety of options to choose from when trying to organize the daily "busy"ness that we encounter.
Andrews McMeel Publishing has come out with a number of different calendars to help moms stay organized and inspired in 2010, and I want to highlight some of them.
This first is a delightful Mary Engelbreit design. The Mom's Can Do Anything Calendar, is a weekly wall organizer for 2010. It has 54 weekly pages and 12 monthly pages. With 6 different organizing lines, this will get you set to organize pretty much anything!Each weekly page has an inspiring quote, which just might set your tone for the week! This would make a great gift for any mom who likes to have a large surface area to organize her family's activities.
Then there is the Mom's Grab-N-Go 2010 Calendar. If you don't want to have a wall calendar, a desk calendar and a planning journal, this is the organizing calendar for you! With weekly and monthly pages, this calendar has sections to keep track of appointments and kids activities. It has extra space for lists and errands. Plus it has a family reference guide in the back for names, numbers and services.
The exceptional thing about this calendar is that it does double duty as a desk calendar and a planner. Simply "button" it up and throw it in your bag, when you get home it easily props back up to sit on your desk or countertop.
The Moms Funny and True Tales of Motherhood 2010 Calendar, also makes a great gift. This day to day calendar , will help mom get through the day with grace and wit. Each page features an amusing anecdote, inspiring quote, or a fresh new tip.
There is also a Daily Extra, on the back of each page, featuring puzzles, jokes, lists, quotes tips and trivia.
All of these calendars and more are available at Andrews McMeel's online website.
Enter for your chance to win a Moms Funny and True Tales of Motherhood 2010 Calendar.
