Orange Circle Studio makes some amazing planners that are stylish, unique, functional, and affordable. I love that their planners are designed with moms in mind, which is something I hadn’t really seen before. I was given the opportunity to try out two of their
wall calendars and a
mom planner.
At first glance, I had to notice how cute they are! Being a mom of two boys, I don’t get enough girly things in my life so seeing the flowery pink and other vibrant colors really made me smile. Next I noticed that these are not your average run-of-the-mill calendars. These are very well-made, not just made of paper, but something thicker than that. They will not fall apart by the middle of the year, that’s for sure. I also really love their unique designs and that the calendars and planners all begin their year in August, when school starts and mom’s busy schedule begins. All 3 have tons of space for recording your events, but it doesn’t stop there.
The
Mom’s 24/7 Calendar is the best wall calendar I have ever seen. The top portion contains the calendar and enough space to write in your events/appointments but the bottom is what makes it truly unique. There is a pad of tear of paper at the bottom that holds a detailed view of your week. You can fill in all the details of everything there and then neatly rip it away when the week is through. Also, the right hand side of that pad is perforated with a “My List” section to fill in your grocery, to-do, or whatever else you need. Then you just tear off at the perforations and you have it to go. Truly an innovative product!
The Do It All Bold Blossoms Calendar is also a great calendar, but doesn’t feature the weekly pad at the bottom. What it does feature is a bigger calendar with more space to fill in information, stickers to mark important dates, holidays, and events, and two pockets for storing important items at the bottom.
Both wall calendars have the ability to be hung by a nail or tack or can be stuck to your fridge with the built-in magnets and both come with a handy pen that fits in a holder.
This planner is the perfect planner for moms. I love the elastic band closure, so nothing slips out. I love the front pocket to hold bills, invitations, and other paperwork. The stickers are convenient for marking holidays, appointments, parties, date nights, birthdays and more. The planner pages are large enough to hold all the necessary information about each event, yet the planner isn’t too big or bulky either. It runs from August 2010 until January 2012 so, for the price of $14.99, you’re getting a lot. It also features a list of 2011 and 2012 holidays, a place for emergency information, an address book, note pages, and 3 column perforated pages for your To Do and Shopping lists, a really unique and genius feature. All in all, this is, by far, the best planner I’ve ever seen and I can’t wait until August to start using all these great products.
