Organized Mom 2016 Family Weekly Planner wall calendar with columns for 6 people, shopping lists and extra organizational features

Searched entire internet for a calendar big enough to hold all the stuff we do each day. This has a week at a time and the four of us use the six spaces so it is fantastic. Being 52 pages means it is heavier than usual so I have ours hanging on an over-th-door wreath holder in the kitchen and our family lives by it. Bought it last year and started hounding the company by email months ago to publish 2016. Best planner for really busy families or families with lots of weekly repeating lessons or other events, as it has a clear plastic sheet and dry-erase marker so weekly events like piano lessons, soccer practice, etc. can be written on clear oversheet and moved weekly. Very handy --- Only planner I will use!

This is my second Organized Mum Calendar. This calendar is perfect for large and/or busy families. We are a family of 6 and my kids range in age from 13-5. We have lots of activities and my husband travels for work. We also have a managerie of animals. This calendar allows for plenty of space per person to write down multiple activities for multiple people. I never used the overlay that you can use to save yourself from rewrites because I prefer to write it all out and last year I didn't use the stickers. This year I may try them. The calendar is sturdy and well constructed. It comes up and down off the wall, it have been buried on my desk, it had been in the kids hands and I have had zero pages fall out. The marker also lasted all year. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this product and will buy one every year as long as it is sold. The makers definitely got this one right!!

For an active family of six, this planner/calendar is just about perfect. The clear dry-erase overlay spares one the nuisance of rewriting regular events from week to week. The perforated separations between weekly pages, to-do lists, and shopping lists are excellent for carrying over tasks and needs from one week to the next or removing when they're taken care of before the week is out. The stickers provide shortcuts for common events like meetings and dental appointments. And it's so nice to have enough columns for each member of a large family, or for different categories of household management (like bills and holidays). I think monthly tab dividers would be a nice additional feature, but since I can just as easily add my own stick-on dividers, that's not exactly a deal-breaker. All in all, a great planning solution for busy households.

I love this calendar for its column design. I have tried many others before but this is the one that keeps me sane. We are only three people but the additional columns leave space for carpool planning, homework deadlines and so on. The transparent "carry over" sheet is very convenient for the always repeating part of the schedule. I highly recommend it.

The weekly format here didn't work for me. You basically have to use the clear sheet with every week (unless you want to write everyone's name at the top every week) which means that it is a two-handed job every time. That might not seem like a big deal but in our busy household, if it takes more than 20 seconds and needs two hands it's probably not going to get done on a regular basis. Add on that you have to repeat it every week and it's just not happening. Nice idea, poor execution is on my end, but I don't think I'm the only mom who can't remember to do these little tasks all the time.

This is so useful for our family of 4. I can write each name across the top. I only wish that the market was better quality (dries out and we replaced it with a dry erase, no biggie) and that there was a place on the page that showed the whole month. It's a little hard to be on the phone trying to set appts and have to get the whole calendar down and look for a date. It shows one week at a time. Overall I like it a lot.

This calendar has been great! It comes with a lot of extras like dry erase form, stickers, etc but my favorite part is the personalization aspect and large spaces to write the weekly schedule. It's a really sturdy and well made calendar... I flip the pages each week but you can also easily tear them off. I flip mine so that when I get my calendar for next year I can just flip through them both together and transfer over any birthdays or anniversaries.

I love this calendar! This is the second year I've purchased it and I will definitely purchase it again later this year. I love the handy marker and event stickers. There's also a pocket underneath the calendar pages to store important papers along with to do list and shopping list on every calendar page. I also love that it has 6 columns for each day of the week so you don't have to cram all the day's appointments into 1 little box. I'll say it again, I love this calendar!
