Amy Knapp Family Organizer 17-Month Calendar: August 2016-December 2017 Calendar – Engagement Calendar, May 1, 2016

I love this planner and have used it almost 10+ years! I love the layout, the monthly and weekly pages.... I've tried a trendy planner but to be honest... it was too much work! I love this planner cause it's straight forward and to the point! It has open areas that I can customize for my needs and don't get me stated on how I love the menu and grocery lists. Each week is at a glance! My only complaint (ok, there are two) is why is it an 18 month planner?!? I buy this every year- I don't need two August-December planners! I usually cut the extra months out and use them for extra memo pads. And I do agree , it would be more awesome if it had tabs for each month. But I can look beyond that. I just love love love this planner and I take it everywhere with me.

LOVE!!! I love this old school planner! I have been buying this one for years. Love that there is a weekly page to meal plan, grocery list, to do items and enough room to write your daily activities. This is the best planner for an active family. Love the stickers that stand out at a glance. Solid product!

Love this organizer! I'm a mom of 5 and between 2 different schools, all the things at church we do, and my husbands schedule this planner is on me at all times and helps keeps us organized. I love the way you have a month calendar as well as each week with plenty of room to write, even for a very busy day!) There is room on the opposite side of each week to write down reminders for the week or projects to get done and a nice column for meal planning which has come in really handy! I highly recommend this organizer!

This is a good planner for all the Mom needs. There are things I like and things I dislike.What I like:The cover is sturdy and has a pocket behind the front cover.It has a monthly view as well as weekly views.There is a spot for groceries on one side and menus on the other side.It has all the important kid related thing in there for reference.What I don't like:I'm partial to tabs to have ease of access to the months. It's not a big deal; it's a personal preference.It's heavy for what it is - I couldn't imagine sticking this in a purse as it would probably weigh it down.The groceries and menu plans are perforated. This is great in theory, but it's a bit silly as it would take off a third of the monthly view if you were to utilize those.All in all, it's a good Mom planner and it's very convenient in the way it's set up. There are minor things I would personally tweak, but it fits the bill! Can't beat the cost and I would purchase this again.

I can't seem to convert to an electronic datebook. There's something about flipping through pages that I just can't give up. I "archive" each year in a file full of datebooks. They serve as a "life journal" to reference back to- which has come in handy for everything from grand-kid questions to an IRS audit. (*BONUS- my non-digital writing never mysteriously disappears.) This particular datebook has multiple positive qualities.To start with, it it's got an additional 5 or 6 months in every edition so I have a cushion of time each year to order or pick up a new one. I like being able to see an entire month laid out over 2 pages. It gives me a general idea of how busy my month is. Equally important is having each individual week of the month laid out over 2 pages so I have adequate writing space each day for events notes. It has that too. The outter edges of each page are lined & scored for menus, shopping lists, to-do lists or 'notes to self' that can be easily torn out & carried separately from the date book or given to someone else. Event stickers are included for a bright visual to make birthdays, doctor appointments etc. stand out. At 56 years old, BRIGHT visuals are almost as important as a firm mattress & a good chiropractor (no association intended). : )

I have been a faithful user of the Amy Knapp family organizer for years, even now that my kids are grown up and manage their own schedules. I love the weekly layout and open space each day to fill in as I need (no lines, and no mini space as many similar products have). This year they made the cover thicker (ok, that's good), but they also rounded the corners. Now it's really tough to turn the pages, which has never been a problem before. I can't quickly flip from page to page without licking my fingers and putting effort into separating the pages (now I turn 3 or 4 at a time where they used to easily separate when square). I really wish they'd return to the square corners! If I could have seen that in the picture of the product, I would have wanted to read reviews and see what others thought about the rounded corners before ordering. I'd like to see tabs for the months as well and something to mark the current week.For the price though, it's about half of what it costs in the calendar kiosk at the mall if you have patience in turning the pages.

After using numerous calendars and planners, I discovered Amy Knapp's Family Organizer. It's been my go to planner for over 5 years.The planner is bound with metal rings, not plastic. A huge plus for durability. Also, each week includes lists for: To Do, Grocery, and Menu. The Grocery list backs the menu list on the previous page. These are perforated in order to take the grocery list with you without disrupting the menu for the week.As long as Ms. Knapp's organizers are produced, they will be my go to planner.
