Calendars for Moms - 2011

Wall or planner? Reuseable or dated? So many options! How can you know which one is the right one or you?

Think about who will use the calendar. If the answer is just you, then a planner you can carry around is probably the best choice. If your whole family will use it, you need a wall calendar that can be located in a central location.

Consider the age of your children. If your children are older, you might want to pick a calendar that they can easily identify their activities. Younger children won't be using the calendar on their own, so it would not be as important.

Consider the amount of activities you have. If you have a large family or are extra busy, you will need a calendar with a lot of room in each daily space.

How many calendars do you need? One calendar might not be the answer for you. You might need a wall calendar, a planner, and a calendar for each child in their own rooms.

Consider what you will actually use. Five calendars might be great in theory, but will you actually update them all? Will you take a planner with you, or will a wall calendar be all you really need?
