I have tried countless paper planners over the years and I have not been able to stick with any of them for more than a month! Some might think it was a lack of discipline, for me they simply didn't work. There was always something else I needed another notebook for whether it was a shopping list, travel plans, or keeping my kids' schedules in line with mine - not anymore! The layout of the Mom Planner is simple, effective, and not overbearing where I look at it and I'm overwhelmed! I will absolutely be back year after year for this one!
