How’s That Resolution to be More Organized Going?

Heather Kuldell — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 17:02:00 GMT

What? You haven’t even gotten a calendar yet? How about taking a baby step that will pay off like a big leap? Check out the BusyBodyBook Fridge Grid Pad. Instead of managing a month at a time, take it week to week.

Slap this pad on the refrigerator, then enter the dates in the first column. The other seven columns are up for grabs. For example, you can assign one to each family to track regular calendar work: appointments, lessons, etc. But you could also use a column to plan out dinner each night. Or one to remind when TV shows you want to watch are on. The pad also features a note column for those undated to-do items or to jot down when you run chicken nuggets.

Available at BusyBodyBook for $11.95.

Pop! Culture: The Bubble-Wrap 2009 Wall Calendar

Aaron Burgess — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 15:04:00 GMT

Sure, it's a little early to start thinking about 2009, but if stores can roll out Christmas decorations in August, there's no reason we can't look ahead to where next year's wall calendar is gonna go. And considering the scale of this poster-sized 2009 calendar from the Brooklyn-based Bubble Calendar (it comes in 48" x 18" horizontal and vertical versions, to be exact), we'd better clear space on the wall now to accommodate it.

With its bubble-wrap surface resting atop either 100 lb. glossy cover stock or slightly pricier acetate, the Bubble Calendar includes all days of the week and every U.S. holiday, as well as boldface weekend days, set in clean-looking Helvetica Neue type. Mount in on the kids' bedroom wall, and let them start each new day with a pop!

$29.95 (card stock) or $49.95 (acetate) from Bubble Calendar.

Keep Your Sanity with the Mom's Ultimate Family Organzier

SunnyChanel — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 16:27:00 GMT

I used to be organized. I knew what day of the week it was. Where my keys were. What my name is. After having a baby, all that went out the window. It’s not just that I’m busier, which I am, it’s as if someone came in the dark of night and gave me a partial lobotomy. Needless to say, I can use as much help as possible in keeping some kind of semblance of normalcy and order in my daily life. Enter the Mom’s Ultimate Family Organizer – A One-Stop Planner For Busy Moms by Chronicle Books. ($24.95) This attractive and sturdy binder includes a calendar (with pluses like a list of birth dates so you’ll never forget to send that card), Family 411 (emergency info plus friends and family contacts), Menu and Party planning tools, handy list templates (to do, babysitter forms, grocery list), pockets for storing info, as well as oodles of tips and suggestions on how to keep your head on straight. Plus it comes with handy post-it notes so you can put reminders here, there and everywhere. Now I just have to make sure I don’t misplace this organizer along with my favorite shades and car keys.

Unique Connect-the-Dots Calendar

Erin Behan — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 20:09:00 GMT

Want to get the kids interested in dates without constraining their creativity in a grid? Look no further than the Gregory calendar from Charles & Marie. I've been a calendar lover all my life, and I've never seen anything quite like it. Each day is represented by a numbered dot, and drawing lines between each dot in order creates a picture that's appropriate to the month. The 11 x 17-inch, $43 calendar comes with a white pencil and is in limited supply, so if it strikes your fancy, buy now.
