What could this be? I know what you're thinking. How is this a gadget?! Wait for it...

Why, it's a book! Is it a journal? Not exactly...in fact, it's....

A MomAgenda! Can you believe it?! I can't! You'll never believe what happened...The marvelous MomAgenda Company sent me a planner for my very own after a lovely reader emailed them my last post about my obsession with their planners. They emailed, were super sweet, and sent me out a gorgeous leopard planner that very day! Talk about customer service!

Isn't it purty? The planner I have, called the Desktop, is a pretty nice size. The cover is a smooth fabric. Very understated (Well, if you cound an animal print as understated! But it somehow looks very classy). When you open it up, the pages are silky smooth and nice and thick.

In the first section of the book, you have several how-tos and intros.

The pages in the initial intro section of the book are all a light, light pink. They list favorite websites, common online resources, toll-free numbers, and this nifty page of holidays and what date they fall on for the next three years. Great for people who can't figure out the whole leap year business, like me. =)

As we get into the calendar section, the pages change color to super light baby blue. You can see the different tones from the outside of the book, so it's easy to open quickly to the section you want. Each month starts with a monthly calendar, then on the following pages, there is a larger week at a glance format.

See the 4 sections under the thick, solid blue? Those are the sections dedicated to the kids. You can label each section with a name and write their schedule in. Each kids has their own dedicated space! The schedule up top is for you...seperated by morning, noon, and afternoon. There is also a small "dinner" slot at the

bottom. The pages are super smooth and feel great to write on.

Each page has a cool quotation on it. Nice, and they stay on this side of the cheesy line, which I like. The calendar runs from August 2008 to December of 2009, so it has a looong use.

After the calendar section, we go into a general organizational section. Now the pages are green. They have pages labeled for books, movies, music, fashion, restaurants, wines, health, and fitness. There is also places to record gifts given or received, entertaining resources (caterers you like, numbers to call a taxi, hotels, etc.), and a whole party planning and vacation planning section (with enough space for several parties and vacations).

Then there is a purple section- completely blank. That's a ton of stuff, but they're not done yet! In the back, they have a removable address book, called MomEssentials.

It slids in and out easily. It has an alphabetized address section.

Then at the end of the MomEssentials book, there is a section for all kinds of useful things that I can never ever remember...Family Members info, school information, important phone numbers, websites/passwords, medical information for you and the kiddos, and a place to write in birthdays and anniversaries.

Pretty cool, huh?

I just received my MomAgenda, so I am just beginning to use it. I will update my review with real use as I go, but so far I love it! It has a spot for everything and it is very simply and intuitively organized. So far the only thing I wish I had was a small folder or pocket to put appointment cards in, but that's a small thing comparatively! I am thrilled to have dedicated spots for me and all the kids and their busy schedules.

I believe there is a sale going on at MomAgenda right now, so you could get a killer deal. Now I'm off to organize! Thank you, MomAgenda!
