Product Description
Product Description
The calendar that keeps the whole family running on time and on track, Mum's Family Calendar is the perennial bestseller that mums (and dads) rely on, season after season. Running a full 17 months, it combines the organisational powers of a planner with Sandra Boynton's lovable, colourful animal characters, who frolic and cavort through each grid. The grids run vertically, with five columns across the top (one for each family member) and the days of the month running down the left-hand side. Write in each person's activities for each day, and at a glance, it s easy to see who is doing what, where, and when. Includes a drop-down storage pocket, 500 stickers, and a write-on, wipe-off magnetic phone list to hang on the fridge. It's total family organisation, Boynton style.

Format:Paperback
I have been buying these calendars for four or five years now. I have looked at many similar ones, but none has the same space as this one for writing in. There are five columns, the first of which is headed "Mum" and the rest of which are blank, allowing for four other family members. I only have three other family members and use the final column for general info. such as birthdays, vet appointments etc.
Each box is approx. 1.5cm high by 4cm wide, allowing you to fit in more than one appointment per day, which for me is the problem with all the other calendars of this type, which only give you a narrow single line for your appoinment. When hung, the overall length of the calendar (not including the drop-down storage pocket) is about 60cm.
I have just received my 2010/2011 calendar, having pre-ordered it in May, and the fact that it runs from August 2010 to December 2011 has allowed me to fill in my next dental check-up in February and family get-togethers already arranged for next spring, knowing that I won't forget or double-book. I also have school term dates up to summer 2011, so it's great to be able to put them down now for planning ahead. I would much rather sort out next year's calendar now, than in December or January when I am so busy with Christmas and New Year things. Before I started buying these calendars I always felt as though my life fell of the edge of a cliff at the end of December and I often didn't find time to complete the new year's calendar until February, risking missing something. The overlap in dates gives me a smooth transition from one year to the next and I can still look ahead six months in the latter part of the year.
The calendar comes with two sheets of stickers, some of which are US biased, e.g. "Vacation" and "Camp". There is also a magnetic phone list which I never use myself, but could be a handy place to put your commonly used numbers. The calendar shows US, UK (including Scotland, where they differ), Australian and NZ public holidays, other events such as mother's day (UK, Aus and NZ), Chinese New Year, passover, etc.
If you have a busy family and want to be organised, this is the best calendar for the job.

These calenders are a god send. I have been buying these now for at least 2-3 years and will not be going back to any other type. The 5 columns are good as i can keep track of everyones appts etc and also i like the very large pocket at the back for holding appt letters, vouchers etc etc. I even hang a pen from the front of the pouch too so that i always have one to hand.
They are a good size and worth the money. Running from August to Dec the following year means you can put all your appts, birthdays on etc and not miss anything. We also write the other 4 family members in on the last 4 blank columns so that everyone knows who's is who's when looking.
I dont consider these an expense infact they are about the cheapest i have seen for yearly calenders and also because they are so practical they are perfect.
I wont be buying any other type now as these do everything thing i need and more.

Format:Calendar
A fantastic calendar for a family to put all their different events, parties and appointments on. I have a family of 5 and I struggled to find a calendar with a space for each family member but this has 5 columns and a large space to write any appointments in for each day, as opposed to other calendars where you have no room to write anything in. I Love it and am buying it again for the third year running !
