Best Seller Books: Mom's Family Calendar 2010 Review

We get one of these calendars every year! Why?

1) The format is great for keeping track of who is doing what, where, when, and with whom. This is CRUCIAL in our family of six.Unfortunately, the calendar only has five columns, but it's enough and we make it work.

2) We had a "Simpsons" calendar like this once, and it was fine, but the Boynton one is more fun. The backgrounds, colors, and themes change for every month, keeping it from getting boring.

3) We love the stickers! There are word stickers to highlight special events ("vacation", "school event", "big game", etc.), as well as funny Boynton animal stickers just for fun.

and 4) the POCKET. This one has a pocket that hangs at the bottom for extra stuff, papers and such ("$100 bills" it helpfully -- haha -- suggests!). This is truly a brilliant improvement.

It was at first a little difficult to get used to the format of not having each day down a column, and that can make it tedious to add events / activities that happen, say, every Tuesday. But, oh well. We love this calendar, and our family coordinates much more smoothly because of it.

No obvious improvements from the 2009 version, but that's fine.It's a 17-month calendar, August 2009 to December 2010, so we have the rest of this year to transition from our 2009 to the new 2010 calendar.

Five stars - and we'll buy it again for 2011!
