One of my friends recently told me that her family has adopted a wall calendar system. Basically they write down their monthly obligations so everyone knows where the others are at. Here are some good ones I found for this:

• Do-It-All Mom Wall Calendar– The best feature about this wall calendar is it’s magnetic moveables. It hangs long and has a pocket at the bottom for the assignments which you can select each month. Did I mention that it is super cute too?
• Mom’s BIG Family Planner– 12” x 24 ” is sometimes what it takes to get it all written in. I absolutely love the way this planner lays out the days. They are listed instead of in calendar form, which leaves room to write everything you need.
• Floral Wall Hanging Calendar- This calendar works great if you need to look at the entire month in a glance. Appointments, games, or whatever can be written in to synch the entire family together
• Large Dry Erase Wall Calendar (3 months)– I felt like this one is an extremely good deal for what it all has. It comes with the markers and double sided sticky dots to hand. It’s going to be easy to synch the family with this one.
• Clear Acrylic Wall Calendar– I had to do a double take because of it’s clear design. You can hang int over anything and write your month in. It’s super pretty and would look good even in a nicely designed space.

I can’t write a planner post without sharing some planners just because they are cute. I mean, some people love to plan… but others like to look at cute things and it keeps them writing in it. Here are some cute planners for mom that may keep your attention for the entire year:

• Mom’s Plan-It Planner– I am obsessed with how cure this planner is. The art and colors are great. My favorite features are its tabbed sides and agenda stickers.
