I Love, I Love, I Love, I Love My Calendar Girl…

When reading the January 2009 issue of Country Living Magazine, I came across a new calendar/day planner product and I got so excited (yes, I am seeking therapy for this).  Reason for my giddiness is that so many mom’s I know don’t use a computerized calendar system.  They have a paper calendar and use paper lists.  As a busy stay at home mom, computer time can be limited, so the paper calendar works easier for some.  This is not to say they are not as savvy as a working mom.   I also know working mom’s who prefer a paper calendar to the computer.  For me it took awhile to cross over from paper to computer.  I kept trying to print out the calendar and write on it, then input what I wrote.  What a waste of time and paper!  Choosing a calendar/planner for you is just a matter of preference.  Finding one that works for you to keep your “time” organized is what matters most.

The calendar/planner I discovered is made by Truly Mom.  The article explains the company name, “Women wear the word Momas a badge of honor”, says Michelle (Nicastro) who coined the name Truly Mom.  “We want to celebrate what it means to be a mom.”  The three women (Michelle Nicastro, Kristen Nicastro, and Maria Newton) who created the company sound as if they have a lot of fun working together and it comes through in their product line.  In addition to planners, they have a creative line of stationery and note cards. 

If you are still in need of a new calendar for 2009, or you are finding yours isn’t making the grade, look into this product.  From the three note pads securely attached, to the way it folds (it flips over and folds over so you can have a sturdy writing surface without taking up a lot of space – the picture above shows it laid out).  It has an address book and a daily planning pad.  What more could you ask for?!?
